Slip and fall on iced parking lot

My husband asked me to go for breakfast at a local restaurant. We pulled in and parked, as I open truck door I noticed looked slippery but wet (black ice). I carefully got out and down I went tried getting back up and slipped again. I reported that parking lot was very bad and it needs attention, we ...then ate, paid bill and asked if they got somebody to sand/ salt, as of yet parking lot got no attention, except by the entry doors which had been salted and that was all. I was feeling a bit sore, I'm trying to eat, realized my arm was sore, got home approx. 1/2 hr later I realized I lost mobility and strength in right arm/shoulder. I then went to ER. I had xray done, showed nothing broke, arm in a sling, I was taken off work til follow up with orthopedic which ordered MRI and results were full and partial tear in rotator cuff. This left me with no work, no income. I scheduled surgery asap, so I could get back to work. Recovery was painful, the stress of not working, loss of income, etc. 31/2 months I'm now going back to work. I contacted their insurance to let them know I'm returning to work in which I was told they dont even know if there gonna pay anything. I'm stressed enough and didnt have time to deal with that, due to fact I'm going back to work. I then decided to call Mingo & Yankala. Mark Mingo and his secretary Kim Kempfer were awesome. The both kept in contact with me thru phone or email. Mark Mingo was very good at explaining and finding information needed. He made it a very comfortable atmosphere, explained things thoroughly. In the few times we had met I felt I knew him before this, which I didnt, but he knew more about me than I knew myself. Mark and his assistant Kim Kempfer were kind, caring, and concerned how I was doing. I was very pleased with the outcome. We were able to settle without going to court, but if it would of we were ready. I'm amazed how things work and comes together. I can move on, I'm happy with the turnout and I will refer Mark Mingo to anyone. Thank you Mark and Kim for everything.

Mark is an amazing Laywer

Motorcycle accident. First I need to say Mark and his staff are awesome people to work with. There have been several times my family and friends have worked with Mark and the outcome always the same great to work with, Mark and staff keep you up dated and help you every step of the way. For my motorc...ycle accident it went very well. Mark listened to me and kept me informed throughout the whole process. Kim, Marks paralegal is also amazing to work with, very on top of everything and kept me informed as well. Mark has a great team and we will always call Mark when needed. I cannot say enough about Mark, he is a great lawyer and a human being.

Auto accident

Attorney Mark Mingo was very professional and thorough in handling my case. Mark or his assistant kept me updated with the proceedings, and clearly explained my options. Someone was always available and helpful when I called. We settled without going to court. I received a settlement that was more t...han I expected.

Excellent service

In January of 2014, my husband and I were in a serious accident. We had no idea where to turn or who to turn to. A friend recommended Mark. From day one Mark was so easy to work with. He explained to us step by step the process we were about to go through. Throughout our entire case he was always hon...est about what was going on. Any time I had a question or concern, he was only an email or phone call away. He always responded in a very timely manner and had all the information needed. Mark also has an incredible staff within his office. Any time I called, the people I spoke with were very polite. They take the time to get to know you and go out of their way to help in any way possible. Mark went above and beyond to get us the best possible settlement as well as helped lower our out of pocket medical bills. We were very, very pleased with the service we received and would definitely recommend Mark to family and friends in the future

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
