Good Day, I’ve reached out to you on 08/30/2022 & 09/12/2022 in regard to the medical liens. I haven’t heard or gotten a response from anyone at your law firm. I have requested documentation stating the amounts of monies, if any to be paid to medicaid or whomever for liens. I was told the settlemen...t amount was over 42,000 but only received 10,000. You all withheld $5,861.92 from my settlement and told me it was being held for that reason until the lien’s resolution department finalized things. I haven’t heard from anyone since the end of July. I’ve contacted Medicaid, and to their knowledge, there’s no monies owed to them. I’m aware that if they paid for any procedures or anything they are entitled to be reimbursed. I would truly appreciate a response back with an update! I will be reaching out to the Attorney General of Texas for some help soon as well. Thank you for all you’ve done. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.

KIzzy: I'm sorry that you haven't received a satisfactory response. I will send you another email today and give you a call also if you want. I obviously didn't explain the lien process very well. There is a court appointed lien resolution company who is responsible for negotiating down the healthcare liens. If any entity such as Medicaid pay for any healthcare related to your injury, then they are entitled to be reimbursed out of any settlement. We will send you all updates we receive from the lien resolution company once they are received. - Don Worley

Tumara: I apologize that you didn't get a clear answer on your medical liens. I just sent you an email explaining that the lien resolution company appointed by the court held back funds for potential medical liens. If Medicare, Medicaid or an insurance company paid for any health care related to your injuries, then they are entitled by law to be reimbursed from the settlement proceeds. Hopefully some of these funds will be released to you in the future when the lien resolution process is final. In addition to my email, I will also give you a call to better explain the process. -Don Worley

This is by far the worst firm I’ve dealt with! They are horrible with keeping you updated, then when they do update you, they tell you information that isn’t true. They basically spin you around the corner and just feed you anything. Don’t get me started on the paralegal, Christina. She NEVER respond...s to emails or anything. I just don’t get it. They send out paperwork explaining your settlement, promising a certain amount with a time frame if you send back docs right away. Find out you only walk away with about 25-30% if that. Well well well, Now it’s, oh a certain amount was held back for medical liens and the resolution department must finalize before we can release payment. Well I would love to see documentation stating that liens were actually placed and money held back for that purpose. With that being said, I feel like we’ve been scammed all around!!! Praying we all get to the bottom of this and receive our freaking money!!! We’ve waited long enough!!!

I'm not sure who you are because you did not say your name here. However, I obviously did not do a good job explaining the lien process in my email to you. Health insurance companies have a legal right to be reimbursed out of your settlement if they pay for health care related to your injury. I know it doesn't seem fair after what happened to you but that is the current law. Also, you should be receiving monthly updates from us via email and text message. Please reply to my email letting me know who you are and I will personally call you to go over everything. And I will work with the court appointed lien resolution company to get the documents you want regarding the liens. Have a good weekend. - Don Worley

No response, no settlement.I’ve reached out several times and couldn’t speak with anyone to get full details of my case. Completely dissatisfied with this law firm!

Essure Settlement

I have been told that my settlement was being mailed, you will receive it in 2 weeks….it’s been months and i have yet to receive any check in the mail. I have emailed, and called and i keep getting the run around. Has anyone ever received their settlement funds from this law firm?
