Paul George O'Toole

My sister and I hired Paul G. O’Toole regarding a medical malpractice case. Every time we called, he complained about how tired and crabby he was and told me he was working on the case. When I would press on about things he told us he'd do but didn't, he said he was busy on another case and that I ha...d to give him some leeway. The last time I spoke to him, I told him I didn’t care about how he was feeling, I wanted a definite status on the case. It turned out that he didn’t do anything on our case. He had it for 1-1/2 years and did nothing. We fired him and are now looking for new representation, but it’s difficult because of the time constraints. One attorney who wanted to speak with Mr. O’Toole about our case, stated he didn’t get much from him. The attorney said O'Toole must have different policies because Mr. O’Toole claimed that we didn’t upfront any money so that’s why he didn’t do anything on the case. Paul O'Toole NEVER asked us for money. He outright lied to the attorney. Even this profile is wrong because the firm name is Salvato & O’Toole. I don’t know where he received the 5 marks for Professional Conduct, but the 1 mark for Industry Recognition should tell you something. If you want a professional, hard-working lawyer, who is invested 100%, Paul G. O’Toole is definitely NOT your lawyer. I’ll warn everyone in the Chicago area to stay away from Paul G. O'Toole.
