Utterly Incompetent and Unprofessional

Based on my experience with DASPIT LAW FIRM, they should be both embarrassed and ashamed of their incompetence. For a firm that claims to be client-focused, their lack of basic communication, transparency, and professionalism was astonishing. No one notified me my original attorney left; I only ...learned this after chasing them for answers. Despite disregarding me for months, they had no problem taking more than half my settlement. I went through every proper channel-CAAP, the State Bar of Texas, and the Board of Disciplinary Appeals-only to have my thoroughly documented grievance dismissed as an "inquiry." Evidently, that's what passes for accountability in this system. If you expect even the minimum level of competence or respect from your legal counsel, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

What’s happening with my case

I’ve looked over these reviews and I have to wonder well…what is wrong with my case? This law firm settled last year in 2024, afterwords there were no more updates, I feel like I’ve been chasing down the attorney”s working on my case and now I’m done with wanting them to treat me with respect, I’m d...one with chasing down I’m done with all the excuses, trying to reach out to the attorneys trying to get an update. I’m very very disappointed and I feel taken advantaged of, I’m at the point now where I realize they are not trying to pay me, or communicate with me. I’m just going to file a formal grievance with the state bar.

Worst Experience

Title: Unprofessional, Uncommunicative, and Incompetent - My Nightmare Experience My experience with this law firm was a complete disaster from start to finish. After my car accident, I was looking for a team to help me through a difficult time, but instead, I was met with unprofessionalism and a ...shocking lack of communication. From the beginning, I felt like my case was just one of many, and not a priority. My calls and emails went unanswered for weeks at a time, and when I finally did get a response, it was from a different person every time. It was clear that my file was just being passed around, and no one was actually taking the time to understand the specifics of my situation. The most frustrating part was the utter lack of progress. Months went by with no updates. When I demanded to know what was happening, I was met with vague excuses and conflicting information. It felt like they were just stalling, and I had no faith that they were actually working to get me the compensation I deserved. Ultimately, I decided to fire the firm and find new representation. The process was messy, and they were uncooperative in handing over my case files. I truly believe that their incompetence and negligence cost me valuable time and money. I would strongly advise anyone seeking legal help for a vehicle accident to avoid this firm at all costs.

I'm no psychic but I can bet my left nut that whole firm is gonna have a nice warm spot in hell one day. I hope

Any good reviews your see on this firm I can promise you are fake. If your make the mistake I did and get talked into letting them take your case I'm sorry. Don't plan anything with the money if you're expecting a good amount. If the w e d up with 20% of anything your case settles at you're lucky . T...hey take 58% even though they say they take 32 or 35% but then you gotta add all the made up experiences t after the 58% .

Horrible

had this firm to represent me las year 2023 of Septemberthe law firm was horrible they got way more money than me. It took them a year and a half just to settle 27,500 on an insurance claim high turnover rate and attorneys. I only walked away with like $8000. they walked away with 12,100 they even go...t more money than the medical people I had to pay court cost out of the settlement instead of them making the insurance company pay their court cost. They don’t care about their client. They only care about making their pockets fit Cole McLain was my attorney then I had Cameron torres. He was just as terrible then Jared caps was even worse. These people are a complete joke.
