Awful!

If I could give no stars I would, that is how terrible these attorneys are. Very dishonest, crooked and when they get caught, DENY. The way they speak to clients is unacceptable. To not negotiate all medical bills unethical and unprofessional, then to leave you holding the bag on them, just plain wro...ng. Most people only care about getting money, this was not my concern, my concern was medical bills being covered. I was told from the beginning we will take care of you, big lie all they care about is lining their pockets.
