Round up and my father who may not see this money

This is very frustrating as I have made numerous calls on my dad Lee Dodson’s behalf as I am his power of attorney but they don’t ever give you but one answer we are still waiting. If they want their clients to be happy they should answer the calls with some news not the same old baloney. My dad coul...d die and that would be very sad. Get your act together. Please help me help my dad! Heather Aitken

Heather, I'm sorry you're not happy with the response and the updates you have been given so far. A team member will call you on Monday and answer any outstanding questions you have. Have a good weekend,

I can’t even talk with them they blocked 2 of my numbers I don’t have a clue what’s happening with my case I don’t even know if

It’s the worst Lawfurm I’ve ever dealt with ! They won’t transfer me to my team so I can find out what’s going on with my case I don’t even know if they’re still representing me ! They are hard to deal with ! They Won’t communicate with you very well ! The most arrogant lawyers ever dealt with !

Essure Client

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

TERRIBLE

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!

so upset

like many others I'm seeing in these reviews I have also tried hundreds of times to get ahold of someone about my case. I do get the monthly updates the last few mths but when only once was able to talk to the paralegal. I signed my settlement over 2 1/2 years ago. I have also been told over a yea...r my check would be coming to me that they were sending them out....nothing still. I am really upset and keep getting g the same story over and over till I'm about in tears when I get told the same thing each time. I have been doing some checking and I have been told that I should have already have my money that it should t have taken this long since mine was settled and signed . It says that manyblike me have suffered so much and still dealing with the stress of trying to get what is deserved. and the monthy updates doesn't really help they never change

I don't know who you are because you posted this as "anonymous." But my firm obviously did not do a good job of explaining the settlement process, including the lien resolution process, to you. Please email me after the holiday weekend and I will personally contact you to go over the process. Have a good weekend. - Don Worley

  • 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.
