This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Coercive Practices and Substandard Legal Service

My recent experience with this firm compels me to share a public account, to ensure transparency and prevent others from encountering similar unprofessional conduct. I approached this firm seeking legal assistance regarding a matter of substantial value, supported by concrete and compelling eviden...ce. Rather than providing representation capable of advocating for me in court, they explicitly refused to do so, offering only a demand letter as their "assistance." This refusal, despite the gravity and clear strength of the case, is inconsistent with the expectations of any competent legal service. In addition to this minimal effort, members of the firm pressured me to provide positive reviews in exchange for their limited services. This coercive quid pro quo behavior is wholly inappropriate and ethically indefensible. The demand letter produced was inadequate and substandard, failing to reflect the seriousness of the matter or any strategic understanding of the case. It was, in short, not helpful and did not advance my case in any meaningful way. Moreover, staff members asked for my home address and referenced members of my family whom I never disclosed, which was deeply concerning. All interactions have been thoroughly documented. Given this pattern of refusal to provide competent representation, coercion, and irregular behavior, I terminated all contact with the firm. I share this account so the public may be aware and exercise caution when engaging with this organization. No client should be subjected to coercion or inadequate service when seeking legal support.

Great Lawyer At Your Service

I contacted this law firm for an injury that I had last November that I knew was just not right. The insurance was playing games. Mr. Jonathan gave me great advise right on the phone and helped me get to the right treatment provider. I do not wake up with pain now. Thank you.
