Dropped on a whim less than 2 months away from statute of limitations, left scrambling with no time

DO NOT EVER, and I do mean NEVER IN LIFE USE BLAKE MAISLIN. Cannot recommend. If I could give zero stars I would! Please read the lowest rated reviews, they are the truth. Sitting here reading these and wish I could comment on them because so many similarities to my experience. Had my case for nearly... two years. They switched lawyers on me without even telling me. The person I dealt with the most was the paralegal, which was like hardly ever. I never went to their office or spoke to anybody in person except for the first initial visit, which a lawyer came to my place and did the initial evaluation but he wasn’t going to be assigned to my case, he just lived close to me so they sent him. After that I never spoke to anybody in person again, it was either by phone or text. Let me start by saying I hardly ever heard from them. Months would pass before I would hear from them. In the beginning there were things needed for the case like obtaining camera footage. They did NOTHING to help with that. It was ALL ME trying every day to obtain the camera footage. They did not lift a finger. Like I said I hardly ever heard from them. They told me nothing would happen until I stopped seeing doctors. Which I’m finding out now that is not true and they should have taken action long ago. They had my case for almost 2 years, and less than 2 months away from the statute of limitations expiration date they decided to drop my case out of the blue!!! No reason given. I was notified by mail that they were dropping the case. Then had to play phone tag to get someone on the phone to tell me why, who stated they think I am wanting more than my case is worth. Which is mighty funny since I never gave them a number of how much I wanted! They never asked me neither. So not sure how they came up with a number in their head of how much I wanted….. regardless they left me very little time since this happened less than 2 months away from the statute of limitations. So now I’m left scrambling trying to find another lawyer and I don’t have time. Lawyers that I’m talking to trying to obtain new counsel are telling me it’s not enough time. I did find one who is willing to “TRY” but also thinks that we may not have enough time. Blakes office seems to see nothing wrong with this and told me I have “plenty of time”. All these other lawyers I have been talking to beg to differ and STRONGLY DISAGREE. Plus I’m finding out thru my new lawyer who reviewed my case file from blakes office, there’s things that were asked for back in September like my medical records dating back to a certain date, and I was not told about this, nor did they obtain those records. So now I’m left in a bind scrambling to try to get all these medical records and statute of limitations is now less than a month away. I’m hoping my new lawyer can work some magic. Wish me luck, I’m going to need it. All I can say is I wish I knew better before going with this firm. Please DO NOT EVER IN LIFE USE THIS FIRM. I wish I knew then what I know now.

Wrong Choice

DO NOT HIRE... We hired this firm and was directed to one of his lawyers to handle our case. We were involved in an accident in a southern state on vacation. It ruined our vacation and we struggled to deal with the claims adjuster from the other insurance company just to get back to Ohio. After we... hired him it took almost two years to settle. The attorney working our case was incompetent, failed to communicate and bowed down to the insurance company. In all after almost $6,000 in medical bills we walked away with $4,300... Somebody in that office cant do the math nor do they care to. In when the attorney gave the counteroffer to me from the other insurance company, I asked him what our next step was.. he said "I guess I can ask her if she will go higher". DO NOT HIRE... all they care about are their fees and if its not a big case with a big payout they will drag it out with poor results.
