Frustrating to say the least

I am a part of a class action lawsuit with this firm. I have been told numerous time, "It won't be long now." or " It should be by _____". All those times come and go. It has been nearly a year since the suit was settled. My paperwork came in the mail and I was called immediately and made to feel... as if there was a huge rush to get it in and I am still waiting, 10 months later, for any sign of a disbursement. I have to call and email numerous times to get a response. When I call, I get "Well when you were emailed last month we said....". The tone is condescending at best. I am so very frustrated. I am tired of getting stock, wait and see, answers. I feel as if this is all been pretend... not to mention if a payout ever comes to fruition, the firm will take nearly HALF of my settlement as payment for their "services".

Tabitha, I know it is frustrating to wait on the lien resolution process. As you know, this part of the process is done by a court appointed lien administrator and is out of our control. We are frustrated with the long wait as well. Also, I want to let you know that my firm's fee will not and will never be half of what you receive. I'm happy to review our agreement together in person or on the phone at your convenience. I'm sorry that you are frustrated and I hope to have good news for you soon. -Don

You need to call them for current updates and they treat you as you do not matter. I have never seen any paperwork to prove any legal action has begun and I have had them for over 3 years now. . You get the same email once a month (maybe) and when you try and call you get nowhere no one calls you ba...ck no one will ever .

Because this post is anonymous, I don't know if you are truly a client of the firm or just the marketer for a competitor posting negative reviews. We do send out updates once a month via email and via text message and we do return client calls. If you are truly a client of the firm, contact me personally and I will make sure to resolve any issues. - Don

The worst ever

Bad/No, communication,can never get in touch with anyone.They never call back,and the lawyers take more of what of what settlement is for and leave you with little to nothing,not a good law office me...

I think you must have the wrong law office. We update our clients monthly via email and via text message and we never take more of a fee than a client receives. Because this is an "anonymous" post, I assume you were not really ever a client of the firm and you work for a competing firm or the marketing firm for other firms. If you are truly a client of the firm, contact me personally and I will make sure any issues are resolved. - Don

Slip and fall case

I was so lucky this firm took my case. I have to say that J. Kyle Beale of this firm was excellent during the whole process. He kept me informed and answered any questions I had. He guided me through the process and and had was able to get me a great settlement so I could get the physical therapy I ...needed.

Exceptional Customer service

I spoke with an employee by the name of Griselda. A, she was very professional and helpful. Answered all of my questions, and put my mind to ease. It's already hard enough to have to deal with the court system but she gave me a lot of good information. Thank you and i highly recommend this office.
