BEWARE

Hiring Joe with Dignity Law firm turned out to be a big mistake. During the time I worked with Joe and his partner David, I would experience sub-par communication, unprofessionalism and poor business practices. For instance, when I initially spoke to David, I was given one quote. But then when the... trial attorney, Joe, heard about the figure, he got upset and called me and more than doubled the quote. That was a big red flag that I ignored. Then despite my providing rock-solid evidence, and both Joe and David complimenting me on the organized file I presented, neither attorney ever gave me the impression that they had a grasp on my case. I would spend most of the hours that was charged to me bringing both attorneys up to speed. I was also billed for work outside the scope of my case that I never approved of. I told Joe and David from the beginning that the case would never go to trial, and that’s exactly what happened. The frivolous complaint was dropped. But when it came time to collect my court costs from the plaintiffs, the Dignity Law firm wasn’t very aggressive and didn’t seem to care. To this day I haven’t been reimbursed by the plaintiff. Then when I asked Joe for the emails between Dignity and the party I was suing, I never received them. But I am not surprised. I’m used to them not following through and would constantly have to hunt Joe and his partner down, whether it be via phone or trying to get them to return an email. I just wanted to share my experience. I am an Air Force veteran and this is my true and sworn testimony.

Very hard to communicate with him, never answered my phone call.

I don’t understand how this attorney got all those good ratings. I decided to hire him after seeing those ratings but realized my mistake after I hired him. Before hiring he answered my call and called me back if missed my call. After I hired him he never answered my call, never returned my voicemail... message. He was late to the court. I lost my case because he was arguing in other direction which obviously took the case in favor of the other party. He even could not tell me what was the judgement even after 3 weeks. He never got any time to collect a copy of the judgement despite I requested so many times to get me that. I never got a clear answer from him about my case results or what should I do next. He owed me money which I got back after more than 2 months of asking for that. I am so pissed off of his service I received. I would never hired him if I knew his unprofessional business model.

Each case and client is unique. For this particular client, they insisted that we not take a deal and instead go to trial despite my advice and the state of the evidence. As with any trial, I cannot guarantee the outcome and I made sure the client was aware of this. Unfortunately, the judgement came back against us and the client has blamed me for it. I strive to make client satisfaction a top priority.
