PA stated the case was too big for her to handle. Stated insurance company is a big company and the offer is too small. Questioned PA if she would like to drop the case. If we could have the case withdrawn from her. PA stated if we want to withdraw case, no problem. She will do so and hand over files.... PA or attorney did not give us notice that she will be claiming a charging lien out of any settlement proceeds we may recover. No documents were signed by us in agreement to withdrawal of case. PA without our consent or documented agreement, notified Insurance company that they no longer represent us We received a call from insurance company, advising us that they have received a letter from attorney stating they no longer represent us. Attorney did not notify or inform us that they will contact the insurance company before or after sending a withdrawal letter. We had meeting at a local public location, PA handed over copy of file and stated she has withdrawn from case. Attorney never allowed us to meet her at her office. Even when we insisted to meet at office. PA still did not inform us that a lien is on the case until we asked and read documents handed over recently. No form of notification was done. No email, no letter, no call, nothing to let us know a lien will be placed on the case. What influenced us to suggest attorney to let go of case is due to the statement PA made, that the case is too hard for her, which drew a concern for us. Also, the check issued from the first case was disburse unethically. The check was written improperly which raised an alert. It took time to have the check reissued and PA became irate, disrespectful, and blamed everything on attorney. In During this time, attorney was out of town as told by the PA. PA stated she couldn't do nothing about the check till the attorney returns and hopefully she does. PA never notified us of the arrival of the attorney as she sated she would. After discussed with PA recently at the same location, to go ahead with case, she stated she does not want to handle our case anymore and it is up the the attorney to make decision on what to do. PA called attorney over the phone. Attorney advised she will not discuss anything if she is on speaker phone. That we should all sit in the office to discuss or she will discuss with PA at a later time and get back with us later in the day. Attorney stated at the moment she cannot make any decisions now that is is currently handling a case and cannot think straight. Attorney stated she will contact us and make an appointment to meet and discuss with us to go over case. Later in the day till the end of day, attorney never reached out to us, PA never reached out to us. We reached out to attorney recently via text, and her reply was, "after discussing with her PA and what her PA had to say, she thinks its best that we find another attorney for the second case. We then asked, "does this mean you will release the lien from the case"? Attorney responded stated, "no, because you fired us a and called my PA a liar". Please I advise do not hire this lawyer for any services. She has a PA that pretend to be the lawyer. She deliberately wrote my check with scratches so I won't cash it. Then took long to reissue my check. Her PA even hung on me, spoke badly to me and attorney does not want to remove lien on my second case she dropped. They are disrespectful, greedy and do not keep to their words and what they initially say they will do.
