Zeke Otis Fortenberry

To the overly confident attorneys: it’s one thing to under-promise and over-deliver, but quite another to over-promise and under-deliver. Disappointing doesn’t even begin to describe it. Our case, handled by Underwood Law Offices and the Fortenberry Firm, was an utterly exasperating. I’m not someone ...driven by greed; I wasn’t seeking a tremendous amount of money, only to be restored to the financial position I was in before the incident. This so-called “million-dollar lawsuit” took nearly four years to settle, only for us to walk away with $1,600—hardly enough to cover the $5,000 we paid in deductibles. Throughout the ordeal, we were repeatedly assured, “We’ve got a strong case, excellent evidence, and we’re going to make you whole.” Reality proved otherwise. The evidence was so weak it couldn’t even persuade the jury during mock trials. Had they been upfront from the start, I could have saved myself nearly four years of frustration and false hope. Honesty from the outset would have been far preferable to this disappointing charade.

My case was referred from the law office of Jacobs O'Hara McMullen regarding two non at faults accident to cut down on legal fees from Houston, TX. Since my case has been referred to Zeke I have not spoke to Zeke not once over the telephone. I only recieve replies after weeks by emails only. I can't ...and have not recieved one update regarding my case and I never get the phone call that was promised via email. I have recieved nothing but empty promises and the run around time and time again after months of requesting any info or transparency. I do not have much experiences with lawyers and thank God my life hasn't required me to till now, but assure you I am glad I now know how they can be and what a terrible one now look like. After having your life derailed the last thing you want to have to add to pain and suffering is having your lawyer be a pain and aid in more suffering. Sure he might have helped others but I wasn't.

Being able to have such an experienced lawyer such as Zeke was one of the many reasons I am glad I hired this firm to represent my case. From the beginning he was always attentive with any questions I had and always kept me informed of the process step by step. His knowledge and worth ethic was very ...evident and that made me feel comfortable. I would not hesitate to use Zeek and his team if the need arises nor hesitate to recommend this firm to friends and family. The professionalism they showed and the outcome was nothing short of Amazing.
