I guess im writing this now because I'm shopping for attorneys actually terrified I'll end up with another Jay. I realized that people only know if we speak out. So Im speaking and I hope this helps someone out there to think twice before hiring him.
This is all my own opinion and my experience wi...th Jay.
I don't believe he cares about his clients. At least he didn't care about me once I signed with him. To him I was just a case number and a check. I didn't expect alot as far as concern towards me as his client but I sure didn't expect what I got.
I felt more like a ladder he stepped on to try and get himself up to a higher position.
I was a professional, single parent before my accident. After it, I found myself permanently damaged and jobless.
He was unfeeling towards me, very cold and extremely rude. Not only to me but to my parents. The way he spoke, yelling at us, was very arrogant and unprofessional. He didn't like us asking any questions.
I had an open and shut case. I was rear ended at a stop light on a dry beautiful day by a week old driver, a well known figures daughter to be exact. My case took over 4 years and it was a nightmare!
My attorney was overly chummy with the other side even sitting in their court house offices spinning in their office chair saying "boy he could get used to this" while I waited feeling terribly alone watching him wondering how did I get here?
He treated me and my family so terribly that I'd tried to fire him but I'd already signed that contract and was very smugly told by him to go ahead but I would still have to pay him for all his time etc. On top of the new attorney and he would charge them for any information they requested about my case. I was drained and didn't have the fight in me to continue so I gave up on a new attorney.
I'd been severely injured in that accident and had to have spinal surgery. I had terrible nerve damage as well. I'd felt at that time that my body was stolen from me. On top of all that I had an attorney who was, in my opinion, flip and grossly negligent. He was not on my side. He didn't care and it showed in his work. I was a single parent with young children who's lives had changed and trying to hold everything together as well as heal from my own injuries. I went through hell and back.
I truly feel he'd take money from anyone just to fill his own greed or position. It's all about money, ego and image to him.
As long as he gets his that's all he cares about. Terrible bed side manner. Idk what else to call it? He's terribly rude and frankly an unfeeling cold fish. I'd go elsewhere.
And Jay... I forgive you but you also should know that one day there will be a judgement. You may not care about that now but one day you will.
I suggest you do better, much, much better. Store up heavenly treasures. There's much more to life than money. How you treat others matters
