Starters this case 2016

I started this IVC filter case in 2016 almost a year and a half ago. I was told that the settlement was decided upon. I’ve also been told by another attorney that An attorney cannot take more than 33.3% of my settlement yet I was told that attorney Worley is going to be taking 40% of my settlement. I... am the one that got the ticking time bomb in my chest. I have literally called for a year now and I have not talked to any of my attorneys or paralegals just the people that answer the phone, I am waiting for my settlement I had an attorney tell me that they called ns let a message and they did not!! I am losing all hope in this law firm! I have waited almost 2 years to have a much needed surgery and I can’t have that surgery because I need to be able to provide for my family. I will be shocked if somebody actually replies to this message.

Todd, not sure that you are really a client of the firm because you only provided your first name and no hernia mesh case has settled yet. If a case has not settled, no one knows yet what the liens will be. But if you are truly a client of the firm, give me a call and I will be happy to walk through the process with you and see how we can give you better service as your attorneys. -Don

Great firm

I had a PI case that were mere months before the statutes of limitations expired, because my previous lawyer was lazy. Another law firm declined to take my case because it was so close to expiring. Fortunately Mcdonald Scott Worley was able to help and I got my settlement. I couldn't thank them enoug...h!

Essure Client

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 Cross essure case

I was told that I would be getting 42000 and the lawyers take 40% but only ended up with 8775 then medical lien money was taken that was 10500 and now I can’t get a answer of when do I get my medical lien money because I don’t owe anything so I feel robbed of my money will I get my medical lien money... from the lawyers I want answers or do I have to sue for my medical lien money

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

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
