Worthless
Showed up 15 mins late for my hearing. Failed to present my evidence. Mr McKool being a tool, and torpedoing my case tells the judge "Would it matter judge?"
Matt McKool
Replied last March 9, 2015Not true. I appeared prior to the scheduled hearing. The alleged statement "Would it matter" was misstated and involved the inaccurate paraphrasing of a comment to the Court, upon inquiring whether I objected to the qualifications of an expert and was to the effect that I did not object to the qualifications of an expert witness and that I agreed that the witness was adequately qualified to provide expert testimony. Several exhibits (evidence) were filed prior to the hearing and were admitted and extensively discussed during the hearing, In addition, there was an extensive and thorough examination and cross examination of witnesses (including my client and expert testimony). All the evidence and testimony was discussed at the hearing and was considered by the hearing officer. The hearing was professionally handled and involved confidential healthcare information upon which I will not comment. I understand that the process was unfamiliar and involved physical and emotional stress, which precipitated the making this comment. In any event, this comment is unfair and not an accurate reflection of what occurred.

Realizi...
