I signed a contract with her law firm after I rolled my ankle on a very badly designed sidewalk that was not marked. The city decided not to pay so her office said they would wait until the very last minute and then file a court case. Talked to them on April 26th and was assured that they would file ...the case before the 2 year statute of limitations ran out. Called today, May 30, To tell them that I was back in treatment because my ankle did not heal right and was informed that they had dropped my case. They said they mailed me a letter on May 6th to the wrong address even though I had given them our new address when we moved. They quit 13 days before the statute of limitations runs out. They called me a few times in the beginning and then dead silence. I kept calling to check on my case and was told over and over, it just takes time. The city refused to pay from the beginning. They should have just told me then that they were not going to follow through with the case instead of dragging along.

Dorothy has had one of my cases for almost 2 years now which was a slip and fall. I will be straight to the point. She's is lazy. I never hear from anyone at her firm regarding any follow-up on my child's case. When I did once the parallels confused my case with a another clients case! The last time... I spoke with in her own words she said that stated she would wait until the case has almost reached the statue of limitations and she would review it for possible litigation! I should have exposed her shady work a long time ago, but due to me being a loyal client I let her slide. The best thing the firm did was make sure my child went to their chiropractor everyday and did not miss a beat! Dorothy Hyde was the real MVP after she later stated "Well it was not like he had any broken bones". I missed lots of time from work and the accident happened on New Years Eve in a well known grocery store on camera! Even the clerks at the store offered more help than my hired attorney has. I even gave her a chance on another case during the same time which was an auto accident. My car was in the shop for 3 months and no one heard from her or anyone at her firm. I was smart enough to fire then on that case and I am so glad I did because as soon as I did I had action! Please take my advice and send this guppie into early retirement! From the looks of the real reviews she definitely needs it! ASAP! You're going to need more than luck if you hire this lady! Point blank period!

I have never witnessed a situation where EVERY BAD REVIEW was correct. But, never say never. Dorothy has had my case for 3 years. I gave her two easy car wreck cases. She dropped one -- after never sending my requested video evidence which I believe has been lost -- and attempted to screw me out of m...y money with the other. The remaining case was clear-cut: a guy hit my parked car twice with my two children fastened inside in their car seats and me leaning-in unfastening them. I figured that since a monkey could easily handle this one Dorothy could as well. I was wrong. After 3 years, I have not ever heard Dorothy's voice. I don't know what she sounds like. I have emailed her and called numerous times only to not receive any answer at all or speak with someone who couldn't tell me anything. With my 2nd case, Dorothy had one of the young girls from the front desk call me today and tell me -- without laughing -- what my accepted settlement would be. Even though, Dorothy never called to tell me about any settlement offer. I am still wondering how she's going to accept a settlement for my case without my acceptance first. Moreover, the young girl further stated -- also without laughing -- the downright exorbitant attorney's fees Dorothy is charging on this case which never had a threat of going to trial and involved no extraordinary circumstances. I'm not taking this lying down as I'm sure they banked on. I will be contacting the Texas State Bar Association. There has been a lot of unscrupulous activity going on and we'll get to the bottom of it. Is this how lawyers are supposed to operate? Ignore you for 3 years then merely call after the 3 years are up and tell you what you're going to get then act as if you have no choice even after you expressly convey that you disagree? There is no way on God's green earth that any of the good reviews are from people who actually had or have a case with Dorothy Hyde. Perhaps, if we could lay off of the Plastic Surgery we could focus more on becoming a reputable lawyer, Dorothy Mulcihy Hyde. But, if your firm doesn't fix this before I take action, we'll wish we had done better.
