In response to your declaration of my review!

In response to your declaration of " false" review, you ALSO wrote a personal check for under the amount I was probably awarded, YOU never allowed me any documentation !!! Yes you ARE dishonest and untrustworthy from my very unfortunate experience with you !!!

Negligent, Unprofessional Behavior

Attorney was assigned to our case as Associate Counsel by Jim Adler and Assoc. Beyond intake paperwork and a an email requesting information plus a receipt confirming I provided said information, this attorney's office did not attempt to contact myself or the other claimant on the case. By his ow...n admission, he "sat on the case" because he, or his subordinates, failed to perform due diligence or communicate within their own office. When challenged with this information, Craico elected to dismiss us as "not having a case." This statement has been challenged as inaccurate by our newly retained attorney. I would wholly endorse previous claims of arrogance, belligerence, and general disregard for the client. This attorney demonstrated a blatant lack of interpersonal communication skills in addition to an ignorance regarding the state of the case, accusing us of refusing contact when the fault lay within his own office. His, and his office's negligence has put us dangerously close to the statute of limitations for filing a suit. It is fortunate for both parties that I called to seek updates before this time had fully elapsed.

A BIG mistake hiring this one.

I was rear ended and this attorney settled leaving me with OUTSTANDING medical bills, he was unprofessional and untrustworthy!!

This review is false. No case is every settled without the client agreeing to settle AND a breakdown sheet is presented to client to review and sign BEFORE any injury claim is settled and closed.

Rude

Been meaning to do this review for a while now. He's arrogant and do not care about you are how you're feeling. He talks to you in a way that makes you feel like you're the gum on the bottom of his shoes. Very hot tempered and rude. Does not know you from one client to the next. Maybe he needs Xanax ...or something b/c he is always on 100 with the way he speaks. I have never dealt with a person where I had to com out of character to get him to respect me. You may have to fire him if you have serious injuries and get "The Hammer" getting another attorney was prob the best thing I've ever done.
