WORST ATTORNEY!! STAY AWAY!!

She was given my case from another law firm. They did ZERO work for almost a year and then asked for same documents 3 times over a period of 90 days. They let the other parties insurance company put liability on me without even trying to fight it. (It was their fault). Then they drop me out of the bl...ue with no explanation and a bill for the other parties damages. My 14 year old son was injured during this as well and will receive no compensation for his injuries. They do ZERO work and will do NOTHING unless the case is completely handed to them in a near box with a bow on it. The WORST law firm on the planet. They will have their karma and one day be disbarred.

Terrible experience, avoid working with this company.

My experience working with BishLaw has been absolutely TERRIBLE. I don't usually write reviews but I want to share my experience so you make the right choice and you avoid wasting your time and money.  I got into a motorcycle accident in California, I was standing at a stop sign behind other cars wh...en another car driver was approaching from the opposite direction towards me... This car driver (which happens to be a Lyft driver) was looking away and completely bumped into the front of my motorcycle knocking me down.. He also left before the police arrived..I hurted my knee pretty badly and my bike had over $6k damages..  (the easisted case in the world you would say right..?) I was referred to Bish law by a good friend and my experience working with them has been absolutely AWFUL to say the least... I was CONSTANTLY talking to different people, nobody would pick up the phone or return my emails to give me updates on the case..the lack of communication and support has been INSANE. After over 2.5 years waiting I found out they never accepted liability so they were not considering the property damage as liability. They handled the injury claim as a nuisance offer only for a ridiculously low offer...  This is not even about the ridiculously low settlement  that I never received for a legitimate case or the crazy amount of time I spent chasing this company just to get someone telling me what was going on...The way this case has been handle by BISH law since was an absolute disaster and they were incredibly unprofessional to me.  After reading some of their reviews it looks like I am definitely not the only one that had problems...my personal advice: do NOT work with Bishlaw, there're plenty of good companies out there that can help you.

PLEASE, DO NOT HIRE!! MINDY BISH AT BISH LAW!!!

I was sitting at a stop light when I was hit by a very large enclosed SUV like an Eldorado. The ambulance was called and they had to extracate me from my car. I was injured. The first time I spoke with Mindy Bish, I had asked her what she preferred I call her Mrs. Bish or Mindy? She started screaming... that she is a prfessional and continued to scream and scream until I had to hang up. Mindy had me speaking to Lawyer Norman Goodfriend for about 10 months. Nothing was still being done. I asked Norman Goodfriend to settle my case to please, make an offer. He never did. Mindy Bish called me and said the defendant was suing me. I found out Mindy lied. The defendant accepted fault on the same day as the accident. I also had a witness. Stacey Cutter calledand gave me the date of my deposition. Stacey wanted me there early to go over somethings. She was late. After the deposition Stacey said nothing at all. I asked if I could get the deposition after it is typed up. She said "yes". I called and called Stacey Cutter wouldnt send it to me. After 7 months they sent me someone elses deposition. No apology and I was never sent mine. I called the woman and let her know Mindy Bish sent deposition to me with all of her private info. she was angry. Mindy Bish would call ever so often and just scream at me how she was going to drop my case. Before my deposition she screamed and told me how she was going to drop me. Before my appointment with State Farms Dr. She called and screamed at me to get there. She then said i think I am going to drop you. It was the fourth time I asked Mindy to settle my case and she laughed. She and Stacey Cutter told me my case is worth $100,000.00. Mindy Bish dropped me the next week on 11/9/16. I was never given a reason why. My court date was 3/17/17. I had called Breanna the secretary to confirm that Stacey Cutter would be there with my paper file and my deposition. I was put on hold. Breanna came back on the line and stated "Stacey Cutter will be in court for sure and will bring your file and deposition with her". Stacey Cutter never showed up. And now noone will talk to me. she would call and scream,belittle me, etc. I have never known anyone so disrespectful and unprofessional. They have ruined my case so badly that I like so many others cant find a good lawyer. Lawyers are given scores by AVVO. These scores tell you how well they are doing. Stacey Cutter and Mindy Bish both have a score of 6 which is not good. AVVO scores are 1-10. I would not hire a lawyer under 9.0-10. Please, read all the other reviews of Mindy Bish and Stacey Cutter. This is only a small fraction of what Lawyer Mindy Bish, Lawyer Norman Goodfriend and Lawyer Stacey Cutter have done. Sheri

Confrontational Attorney

This particular attorney was directed to me by the original attorney that I hired and had retained. I was under the impression that the original attorney I had started with was going to also be the final or "Trial Attorney" as well. Well, that was not the case. After three (3) years I was handed o...ver to this attorney without warning, and was told to contact her and get the process going with her. I did that, and it took a while before she called me back, a couple of weeks to be exact. She was not that gentle over the phone, very cold, aggressive towards me - why I didn't know, and told me that it was her way or the highway. I just thought that she was having a bad day and forgot about it. As the case progressed forward I texted her on a Sunday, I thought that I would probably hear back from her during the beginning of the week. A few minutes had passed and I received a call back from her. She immediately started to yell at me that I was being desperate because I had contacted her during the weekend, although she said she worked weekends anyway but anyone that did contact her during the weekend was desperate, she also said she knew I was desperate because if I wasn't I would have waited to contact her on Monday. I told her that I had not heard from her for a few weeks and I had a question I wanted to ask her. Also, I told her that I didn't expect to hear back from her until the beginning of the week and why she was so mad at me because she decided to call me back after I had texted her. It was like she was blaming me for her calling me back on a Sunday. I started to ask my question to her and she flat out refused to answer me, she said that she was the lawyer and I was the client and that she had always been my lawyer even though I started out with a different one. She proceeded to tell me that I didn't have the 20 + years as an attorney to even understand why she makes or would make certain decisions on my behalf. She pretty much told me that she didn't have to answer any of my questions that I would have to live with it and follow whatever she decided. After she berated me and told me that I should not contact her again about anything and that she would contact me if she needed to she hung up the phone. I was shocked and stupefied that my attorney would talk to me that way. A couple months or so passed and I also heard from another attorney that worked with her, not part of her firm but was used by her when she was not available. This attorney was suppose to be a buffer between me and Mindy, I told him what had happened and he basically told me that was the way she was and that she would never change. He told me to stay in contact with him and he would run interference. Another subject came about and he did not have the answer so I went directly to Mindy. She said that she again didn't have to answer my question and if she said to jump I just needed to say "how hi?". I could not get nor did I ever get any questions when I asked her a question. The case may have been handled by her through paperwork but it was a different attorney who would actually precede over my case during the first Settlement Hearing. The second, Settlement Hearing was with the first attorney and a second brought on board by Mindy, now understand Mindy has never been at either one of these Settlement Hearings she was always wrapped up in another case. She was suppose to be the Lead attorney in my case but was never at any of the meetings we had with the county, not one. Finally, at the last Settlement Hearing again Mindy was not there and it was a different attorney - as mentioned above - that took my case to settle with the county. All my dealings with Mindy were confrontational, I had never met her in person and was very disappointing to know that a Lawyer would treat their client in this manner. Be weary about this attorney, I found out the hard way about her.
