This is not a good company.They will not stand contact with you about your case.Or help you through it at all

This company. Will not call you back. They will not inform you of your case. They do not care about you. All they care about is the money they can get from your case. They never call back. I'm on hold right now for 47 minutes right now Still no one taking my call.

Ivc filter settlement claim

Been told for over a year now how much my settlement is, I had to sign for that amount and have the paperwork in by a certain time and I thought that was all that had to be done? Why is a third party holding up the settlement and how was a settlement offered without the third party approval? I have n...ever been through a case like this but the amount that was offered is becoming worth less and less and for all we know it's sitting in someone's bank account by now!! Like someone said what happened to the monthly report? Seems like we are being scammed.

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.

Scandals

I have been a case with these people for awhile. The first person a dealt with was very nice and let me know what was going on. Some people I have to give some of this money to done know what they are getting and the person I have been talking to will not call me back when I call, will not email me b...ack. In December she told me was settled and should hear something by beginning of January but the other day when I was asking questions and matter of fact it took me 25 calls and messages to get her to answer me. She told me 3 weeks ago my closing statement was on lawyer desk but still not signed. About a week ago she said she would have the lawyer call me and still haven't heard from no one. They took a fourth of my money for judges supposedly but of course I can't get no one to tell me anything.

Joyce, I'm disappointed that you were not satisfied with the firm. As we discussed, the deductions were not for Judges. When an insurance company or medicare pays for medical treatment related to a personal injury, they are legally entitled to be reimbursed from any settlement proceeds. I tried my best to explain this but give me a call and we can further discuss. You were receiving monthly updates from the firm and we show you have received your settlement proceeds. Give me a call if you want to go over anything again. - Don

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.
