Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2019 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

WARNING!!!!

RUN. Whatever you do DO NOT hire this guy. Incompetence is what he majored in. He mishandled my case, refused to advise me about major components of my case. Then stopped taking my appointments and calls once the case was settled. Major disappointment. If you hire this guy after all these warnings th...en the results are on you.

LOOK ELSWHERE

This attorney and his staff are horrible at taking care of urgent and time sensative matters and never call back when they advise they will. There is no ugency with this staff and unfortunately the attorney seems liek he is more interested in a quick open and shut claim for the quick dollar rather th...an prepare for a long dog fight that most of these WC cases demand. I do not suggest ANYONE use this attorney and I feel he should close his doors to prevent anyone being fooled and having the case ruined because of untimely responses

Workers Comp.

I have to do all the research... he don't inform, is not getting back if there are any questions, his paralegal stuff don't know how to handle the paperwork in timely manner, don't take notes about conversations you have regarding your caes.... and so on.... If you choose this firm , don't be surpris...ed if your case get dismissed and you get nothing...I consulted a different Lawyer to switch...and he answered me " Sorry nothing I can do for you, you should have come earlier to me."

Very Dissapointed

I hired Gary to represent my workman's comp claim and then checked online and found he had very poor reviews. I also found he had been disbarred at one time. I decided to keep him anyway because he seemed genuine to me and I believe in giving people a second chance. What a mistake, and what a fool I ...was. I won’t go into details, but basically, in my opinion, he did not want to put out the effort and tried to convince me to accept a small settlement that would not cover the cost of my injuries and once rejected appeared to have delayed me from getting timely treatment. I only wish I would have believed my own online research in the beginning.
