Awful representation

If I could give him less then 1 star I would..i fired him after he did nothing to help me and dragged my case out past 5 years !! I only talked to him 2 times the entire time he was my lawyer and both times he was rude ....so rude I had to tell kandi that she had to be involved in our conversations b...ecause he treats his clients like he is the defense lawyer....DO NOT HIRE HIM......

I reviewed mr. Honaker in a different site. Hired him in 2007 and they did nothing. Finally got to a hearing 2009 why are he surprised me with settlement documents. Candy d paralegal I just informed previous that this case was nowhere near settling. Mr. Honaker insisted if this case needed to settle ...that day. I had demands he met them and I signed then without telling me he removed my demands do the insurance companies favor am I damaged. Mr. Honaker looks out for his own interests only regardless the damage cause to his client. I'm still trying to straighten this out. I recommend avoiding Honaker at all cost.

Unprofessional

Very frustrated with this law firm I had a hearing with Mr. Honaker he was quick and pushy, he did not let me explain my concerns to him he was in a rush to get out of there! Then every time I call the office only the receptionist is there! Candy the paralegal is always gone or goes in at 10am takes ...her lunch from 12pm to 130pm and leaves at 4pm! Oh and she never returne calls if by any chance I get a call back its from the receptionist telling me what Candy said?! Very unprofessional!

Was not happy at all

I too have not had any good experience with Jay Honaker. I was referred by the law offices of Larry H Parker and thought I was in good hands until I started feeling neglected. Never once I received a call back on time. I can say for every 12-15 calls I received one back. I mean 2-3 calls a week i...s not excessive. When I did get a call back they were not prepared at all and had to check on my case to get back to me(then why call). I was never given the correct information and all of a sudden I found out my attorney Jay Honaker didn't respond in time and my case was dismissed and I had to hire another attorney to sue Honaker which then turned out that he doesn't have any assets in his name!! What a shyster!! There should be a way to attach his wages like any other working class citizen!! My opinion - He should be banned or fined from BAR to practice Law. Worst services I have ever dealt with and hopefully the last!!
