Payam Mark Shayani

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.
