Will be reaching out to a different lawyer

I reached out in hopes that I would be able to have the same experience as others. I have done a lot of research on my vehicle it being 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport. I found him listed as a lawyer to consult if needing help with advice to the lawsuit back in 2021. My vehicle is involved in the lawsuit... and has had an engine replacement done prior. I would explain my situation fully but this would be an essay, long story short I reached out and wasn’t even able to even discuss my scenario fully without being rudely interrupted and asked questions, which I answered, but then was rudely told he has thousands and thousands of cases, I understand completely Hyundai has a lot of these cars so it’s expected, but then told me he took a week off [redacted] and unless I want to pay an hourly rate of $700 then he would be willing to listen to me. I insisted I could pay the $700 because I believe that I have a case and I have the money, my fiance is a driller in the mines for gold he makes over a 100,000 a year so we would be willing to pay for him as our lawyer if he had not treated me poorly after our first phone call. Completely understand that we all have bad days but to take it out on me [redacted] and that you have thousands and thousands of cases. You could be a lot nicer about it and say I’m going through a hard time right now and don’t have the time to take your case I apologize and I wish you the best. Then I could have gone my way nicely and wouldn’t be writing this review. Unprofessional I’m sure that’s not the case with everyone who contacts him and maybe I just caught him on a bad day but I was highly disappointed.

There are always two sides of course. I admit I was short and did interrupt, but that was how the conversation was from both sides. I probably could have handled it better. Missing details from the above are as follows: I explained to her what the class action covered, I explained its limited nature, the further limited nature of Idaho law for her situation, and covered issues she might see when having another attorney evaluate. She also fails to mention that she hung up on me during the conversation. I would say the bad experience for her was due to several things. I was having a bad day; our personalities simply clashed; and being told that I could not assist with the issues was unacceptable to her. Sorry, and I wish you the best with a challenging situation.

Rude

I emailed Walsh regarding the Hyundai Class Action and I guess I sent one too many emails. Because he did not respond to the second email, so I sent a third email and Wow his response was so rude and impolite and the tone in his email was uncalled for. So when I responded by calling him out on... his rudeness, he responded basically telling me F…..off and find someone else to help me. I’m happy those 5 star reviewers were satisfied…….I definitely was not.

I wanted to take the time to respond to this review. While Lavette was not my client, she was one of the millions of class members in a class action that was resolved in 2020. Since that case closed, I have assisted thousands of people with issues they had or just generally with the claims process. Generally, I get along with everyone during this process, but given the numbers sometimes people are just not going to mesh. There were more emails exchanged than noted. The last two emails Lavette referenced sending me, were blank, did not ask a question, and were after I had made an inquiry for her and had advised it would take some time for Hyundai to get back to me. The sending of duplicative blank emails rubbed me the wrong way and I let her know. However, there was not an email “basically telling me F off” at least that is not how I read it or it was intended. Regardless I am open about how I do business. There was no confidential information in these emails, so below is the email string for you to judge. The actual emails are in quotes following the explanatory headings. Due to how AVVO formats these I am inserting "_'s" to separate them. ______________________________________________________________ The claimed “F off Email” ______________________________________________________________“I am a very responsive individual. I try and be respectful of people and their time. I am sorry that you did not find it that way. I sent a further response with information that I obtained. Since you do not find me as someone you would like to interact with I suggest that you follow with someone else should you need further assistance. In case you missed the other email, it seems that information was requested but you did not respond and deadlines were missed. I hope that you are able to find the assistance that you need.” ______________________________________________________________ Lavette’s email “calling me out.” ______________________________________________________________ “You are a very rude individual. I sent the second email in error. The 3rd email was sent because I didn’t get a response from you when I sent the corrected VIN, considering how quickly you responded when I sent the incorrect VIN. The hundreds of emails you get per day is not my concern. The way you responded today with that unprofessional email, I sure could have responded a few days ago with a more appropriate email. I will just wait to hear from you. “ ______________________________________________________________ My initial email following the blank emails that were sent. ______________________________________________________________ “I got your first, second and current email on this. I have reached out to who I needed to. In fact, I did it Wednesday at 3:16:30 pm. They have not responded. I have followed up twice. I get hundreds of emails each day. You don't need to keep responding to the same one with blank info. If you have questions or something fine. But please do not send me blank emails that take zero time for you to generate. I try and respond to each and every email with substance. I ignored the last few because they were blank. Please wait at least until next Tuesday to reach back out. I hope to have some answers before then, but I am not in control of how fast other people respond to my inquiries. Bonner”
