Phillip John Wells

I was in a car accident and hired Phillip. He kept me updated once or twice a month. As soon as I was released from doctors, he had my case settled very quickly, maybe a month. My settlement was a lot more than I expected! I am a very satisfied client and if I need services again, I will definitely g...o with Mr. Phillip Wells

After hiring him for a car accident, we thought he was still with McDaniel and Wells as his card stated. He was not. He also did not contact me for months,and when I finally called him he said he had not received necessary documents from me. I sent him the proof that I had faxed these documents and s...aid I would send them again. After paying 22 dollars to send all this again, he "remembers" that he did in fact already have them. After waiting well over a year he says insurance is ready to settle. They did and he took 50% of everything left over after his "fees", that according to the Ins. Company was nothing more than forwarding those documents to them. I also had to sign a ridiculous document stating that I was extremely happy and satisfied with his representation of my case. I wasn't , but I couldn't get the check unless I signed this document.I was also not given a copy of this letter. He never completed my case and I am finishing it myself. I would refuse to sign another "happy and satisfied" documents that no other attorney I have ever known has had me sign. I question the need for such a document as I wonder if its needed for personal legal reasons or a sort of psychological reason. I just did not want to sign it. I would like to add that I do know that his son was not in any way was involved in my case. The younger Mr Wells is a very nice and considerate man who appears to have a true desire to take personal steps to care for his clients legal needs. The elder Mr Wells does not give me that impression at all and I doubt I would have hired him had I known that he was leaving the McDaniel firm. He should have made this known as he left a week or so later. This is just opinion, but I felt that his interest was no more than financial and other that that he seemed to have no interest in the devastation that a car accident can have on a family, especially with small children involved.
