The worse Law Firm

“Horrible experience with this law firm” I do not trust or believe anything about this Lawyer. Unfortunately people like him should not be practicing this profession. For all his facts in my case it should be disciplining. On My first day in court I filed alone. He told me to tell the judge that h...e would be at the second hearing which he never appeared in. He is not a trial expert. He dropped my case without notice. At the end he told me that my case was complicated and that "McDonald" had many lawyers and he did not want to continue my case. You wasted over 2 years of my time and now I most likely have to pay for medical procedures. “Be careful with this law firm” and don't be the next victim.

Client

Probably the worst experience I've ever had with an attorney. He never ever returns your calls never gives you an update. I had an accident over a year and a month ago. I've been in real estate for 48 years and I've never seen anything like it. I'm amazed he's still in business if you get in an accid...ent and you use them you will never get a return call there very rude they're always have an excuse there's aalways no buddy available they always have an excuse when you call. I've called probably two times a day for four or five months with never a return call. This is not the way you run a business this guy is truly a joke he's never there they say? every time you call or always in a meeting he's gone all the time how he stays in business is unbelievable if you want to get aggravated use them or please find somebody else he is the worst I have delt with in the 48 years ive been in business But he certainly shouldn't be in business.

Excellent Attorney

Atty Shamsi is an honest, direct to the point Atty and will explain to you (clients) all the details and expectations from the beginning, toward the process and until the very end. Atty Shamsi make sure you (the client) will recover back from your injuries, he will make sure you see the best Medical ...Dr'/facilities and ensure you are back again to a healthy status which is the most important and will fight to the very end until you get all the compensations you deserved. Some cases takes longer than the other, but he updates you on what is happening. I hired Atty three times already (POV accident) and been very happy with the results. Thank you Atty Sean Shamsi.

Bad attorney

My son was a minor when he was involved in an accident. He told my son that his statute was coming up and needed to settle (accept what they were offering) or sign a letter that he typed up saying that we were fully aware that after May 2015, we were waiving all rights to file a lawsuit against the r...esponsible party. Come to find out, a minor has 2 years from his 18th birthday to file a lawsuit against the responsible party. Mr Shamsi told us differently and misguided us. I took the police report and the letter he made us sign to another attorney who clearly said Ms Shamsi was in the wrong.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
