Disappointed

You never talk to anyone,you may leave messages for them,you may not get a reply for weeks,not true that you get more lawyer less fee, they will take most of your money I had a friend try Demolous it seriously was fantastic, they constantly update you with how your case is going and you get more law...yer less fees also they're not lazy they truly appreciate your business and will fight for you

Less Fee...but MORE Taken by THEIR MEDICAL TEAM

I had a car accident in Aug.2017. I met with their team the next day. I was told to go thru their medical services.. I was given a list ..a car rental set up..and their treatment places. I made appointments. they told me to go see these medical places they use. I never missed an appointment. I did ...everything they advised me to do. I was told by their case manager Josh.....we are still waiting on the medical discounts to get settled....It was their companies that I used so I knew they would. NOPE. I was told they are not giving me ANY discount...What? All medical providers do. I should know, I did medical billing before. I was charged OVER $16,000 in MEDICAL FEES! And I didn't have surgery...just physical therapy. No discount because their accounts dept.manager Josh told me "They see your $50,000 insurance settlement payout from the accident?! What??!!. That should have no bearing. I was never disclosed this by amyone. I never saw an attorney after my first consultation. I should of just went thru my own medical..not yours? No discounts at all? I ended up paying their MEDICAL PLACES THEY TOLD ME TO GO SEE.. MORE THAN MY SETTLEMENT ! Hidden accounting costs not disclosed prior. I was so needing the money fast I signed and was done. I feel their is a "hidden pocket" being filled to them sending you to their medical services....yet they give no medical discount?? HUMMM FISHY. I was pleased with their staff to say something positive to my first experience with a accident claim. They were the only ones keeping in contact. Never saw Paul Powell..was told he sees everyone about their case. NOPE. IT UPSETS ME EVERY TIME I SEE HIS DUMB COMMERCIALS....MORE LAWYER LESS FEE.....REALLY??? YOU BETTER ADD...EXCEPT MY MEDICAL SERVICES.... THEY GET EVEN MORE THEN YOU OR ME!

Frustrante

No me ayudo a recuperar mi vehiculo. Solo me autorizo ver doctores asociados con su firma. Me pego un tipo con un jeep de mas de 80000 de valor y solo tenia liability de modo que se fue contra mi aseguranza y yo acabe siendo el pagano de haber sido perjudicado. Y solo me dio un centavo mas de lo que ...me dio. Sigo perjudicado en mi salud y perdi dos trabajos y el tipo no me ayudo con eso tampoco. Si el no tiene nada que ganar no hace nada por TI. Frustrante

Dexter Lariosa

I was brought by my Dad here thinking to give them a chance but it didn’t go well to make the story short my Lawyer told me that the 25k check was split in 3 ways so it’s me, the lawyer and the doctor didn’t like that but the Paul Powell law firm went ahead and cut me a check. I will never recommend ...this place to anybody.

Rating:  8.2 (Excellent)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Reprimanded issued in NV, 2020

updated on 06/03/2021

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
