This for anyone who reads reviews. First she does not do any follow-ups regarding the case, calls goes to answering machine then you wait (month) emails goes unanswered and the same goes to the text no answers. Even the Dr office can't get answer for questions regarding your case even before a schedu...

I came to Caroline without reading reviews and without any experience in a workers comp case since this was my first. I called the first lawyer I saw on google. Which I regret. Caroline will rarely call you back and if she does she is very rude. She was my attorney for almost a year and I only spoke...

Replied last April 20, 2017First, it is always best to rely upon personal referral. Lacking same, due diligence is the next best option. We perform consultation initially by telephone and follow it with an in person meeting lasting one hour or more without obligation thus, the client is free to consult with other attorneys before deciding. The decision to proceed is mutual and made only after anticipated that the relationship will be one of trust and cooperation. Second, communication is key and we respond to voicemails and emails at least weekly but usually daily with due care as to priorities requiring more urgent attention. As we are here to assist with legal issues, communication is only indicated at those times so necessity varies on a case by case basis. More communication is required at the outset of a case and thus, reasonably expected. Third, on those rare occasions when the relationship does breakdown, it is appropriate to terminate and same is done in a simple and professional manner requiring mere signatures on forms and transfer of file. However, we are indeed entitled to the reasonable value of services rendered in the interim on the equitable basis of quantum meruit. Our hourly rate of $350 is actually conservative compared to other attorneys who have practiced 18 years. A lien against the workers' compensation claim is not only legal but, the appropriate course and is resolved at time of settlement by agreement with the handling attorney with same subject to approval by the court such that checks and balances are in place. As the complaint is anonymous and confidentiality precludes details in any event, we regret that our client suffered distress as extreme as described. Had this been made known to us, we would have gladly offered relief.

Difficult to work with.
Dissatisfied with my communication and service I received from Caroline Zinns. She expressed little to no interest in helping me get the treatment the doctors recommend and the insurance company disputed. I would not recommend her as an attorney.

Replied last November 30, 2017This is an active client who not only received but completed treatment and authorized settlement, which has yet to finalize due to his lack of communication and cooperation thus, sabotaging his own best interests against advice. Nor has he exercised his options to assume representation or obtain new representation. A large part of our practice is devoted to appeals of denied medical care and we follow the process for all clients if legally possible and medically supported. Sometimes however care is denied because it is actually caused by something other than the work injury, such as asymptomatic pre existing conditions, and clients dispute medical opinion without any contrary medical opinion in support and this is just a failure to accept the reality of their particular situation that is not attributable to their legal representative who is bound by the laws, rules, regulations, etc. Objections to the process itself are appropriately remedied through legislative channels.
