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

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!

I don't know who you are because you did not give your name here. But I obviously did not do a good job explaining everything in my email to you. Please reply to my email and I will personally contact you to go over any questions you have regarding your settlement. Have a good weekend. - Don

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?

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

Lousy office staff

I have called so many times that I have lost count. The office staff takes my message but I never hear from them. I receive generic emails but I would rather hear about my case with a phone call. When I have spoken with the law office I’ve been told at a settlement should be in 60-90 days, but have n...ot heard anything since . I’m Very frustrated that no one will communicate with me nor will they give a true answer when they do finally contact me. It makes me wonder if the attorneys at McDonald Worley know what their office staff are doing or do they really care,

  • 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.
