Payam Mark Shayani

I was hurt, my family was hurt, my life was hurt and I needed help and Mark and his team helped me with it. On January 9, 2012, while working I had a freak accident where the projection screen in our office fell from the ceiling and hit me in the head, it fell like a pendulum & swung down and missed ...my temple and the doctors told me If I would have seen that coming it would have killed me instantly. I had 6 surgeries for a couple of years and it's once for 14 months, but luckily I had a team of people who understood the complexities of the depth of my accident and we're willing to help me get what I needed to get onto the road of recovery. They are good people, good character, they're honest, they're hardworking and genuine and it's rare to find that nowadays. They're beyond lawyers that care to me more than a friend, they really treat you like a family.

One of the best experiences I’ve had with an attorney. He was very meticulous and calculating with his strategy and he gathered every detail of my case and assured me we can win. Also he took the time to get to know me and we actually became friends. You really can’t ask for a better injury lawyer in... your corner.

I was in an accident in October 2012 and hired this law firm the same month. It became very clear after the first few weeks that I didn't make a good choice; It took me months to get a reply at times, and every time I wanted to drop them, I get a call or an email from attorney Mark Shayani assuring m...e that my communication will be returned within 24 hours and that he is actively working on my case. While I made the mistake of believing him and remained with the firm, my communications continued to be ignored and I usually only get a reply when I express that I no longer want to stay with the firm. I have never seen a copy of the complaint sent to the insurance and when I finally got a copy on 3/10/2012, the letter was incomplete and didn't reflect my case and my unique damages. It was no surprise that the insurance offer doesn't cover third of my losses. I advised in July 2013 that I will not be accepting the offer as it is not fair. On December 3rd, 2013 I advised the attorney AGAIN that I wish to move forward with the lawsuit, to which he replied "I will file the lawsuit this week". I have never been advised by the attorney that there is a deadline to file a lawsuit. I have been trying to get an update on the assumed filed lawsuit since January 2014. Only on March 9th, 2014 do I get a reply. I find out the next day only after picking up my file that it was never filed. A year and a half went by on a case that has a 2 years limitation. When hiring this attorney, I needed help in a difficult time. What I got was someone careless about my best interest, and seems unethically trying to make me miss the deadline.
