Lenore Rae Shefman

I found the bottom line with this lawyer is she gets results in spite of a bumpy ride along the way. Her assistant Alexandra is outstanding as well. I have an anxiety disorder so keep this in mind in reading my review. I was very fortunate Ms. Shefman took my case since it didn't appear to have mu...ch money in it due to a third party with a $15,000 coverage limit. I had $255,000 in hospital bills and hired Ms. Shefman specifically to use another potential insurance company's pay off of $100,000 to settle with them. I had to fire a previous attorney who clearly didn't know what he was doing and another law firm sat on my case for a month without telling me they didn't want it. I saw Ms. Shefman on Yelp with all good reviews and she contacted me accepting my case. Pros vs. Cons of Lenore Shefman's Services Pros Has a great assistant who responds quickly to inquiries. I was only anticipating $5,000 to myself, if anything, in return and she negotiated $15,200 that helped me tremendously. They did far more then just negotiate such as making sure the city wouldn't send the case to collections to harass me with threats, etc. They got results within three months of taking the case, reduced the bills by 55% with a 5 split pay off including myself. Cons: Lenore didn't spend much time explaining much of anything to me as a client on what the next steps were, procedures, etc. She didn't give me any time frame and I was very nervous about my credit being ruined. At one point even though she had received $115,000 to pay off the creditors, she explained my options the first on her list being bankruptcy. it made no sense and frightened me to the point of my wondering if she was going to take off with the money to Mexico. In telling me the pay off amounts she negotiated, she told me I was set to receive $18,000. However, I was sent $15,200 in the mail and was unsure what caused it to change. Regardless, I am happy with any amount I received and feel it was very fair since I owed $255,000 in hospital medical bills. I'd recommend Lenore Shefman because she has a good reputation and therefore has the ability to settle with cities that place liens on people's names due to money owed them.
