“WARNING” RUN VERY FAST & DON’T LOOK BACK

This man needs to Retire asap! He is a straight liar, and I learned that he will take your case and if you fire him he will threaten you make up lies and want money even if nothing was done on your case. That’s not how this works the attorney gets paid if he wins your case not if he’s fried for being... so nasty and disrespectful. Also I agree that he mistreat woman especially woman of color. We should all send letters to the state bar association he needs to lose his license. He make the firm look bad and puts a horrible name on attorneys! I will be sending a 5 page letter to Austin Tx on this jerk…

NOT A GOOD CHOICE

This man is hateful, degrading, prejudice against women, condescending and just an absolute waste of time. Please, go to ANY other attorney and do not subject yourself to this ineffective, lazy, discriminatory firm.

If you wish to take the time to offer commentary you should be willing to identify yourself, so a substantive response can be offered. I have an idea who you are and as a defense lawyer you should not take to social media just because you lost to me in trial.

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.
