He kept the settlement

I had left a good review of Jay earlier because I believed in him. At the time I wrote my original review I was confident we would eventually win our case. Things turned for the worst! My husband was in a car accident in 2015. He was in the backseat but sustained a head injury due to the driver of a...nother car. My husband was awarded two lump sums. One from the drivers insurance of the car he was in and the other was from his own personal insurance. These moneys were paid to our original attorney. The amount was 50k. We switched to Jay after we felt like the original attorney was incompetent for such a case. The funds were transferred to Jay when he took our case back in 2018. Years later in 2023 he lost the last appeal and decided to keep the settlements from 2015. My husband did not receive a penny. He lives now with brain damage he suffered while this attorney kept the little amount that would actually help him to retire as my husband is now 62. I’m sure what Jay has done is illegal but to hire another attorney but we cannot afford it. We are done with lawyers at this point but I wanted to warn others of Jay.
