Philip Arl Haas

Lots of great reviews but honestly i think they were there just for the money or just hugely NOT competent at all. I had an issues with an insurance claim, them denying my claim even though they couldn’t prove they weren’t liable. I was very clear from the start that my moving company made the in...surance with the insurance company and that I did not have any documentation regarding the Pick-Up but only regarding my Drop-Off. 1. Phone consultation with Maureen, of course she can’t predict the outcome but the consultation was quite specific as to know if there was a strong case, which she said there was, she also said the proof of being liable or not, was on the insurance company side that’s why they have investigators. 2. Philip Haas calls, I find out that Maureen is not my lawyer but he will be, never spoke to him before and with a non-disclosed speech impediment that makes communication hugely hard (first bad sign, she should have contacted me telling me and asking if that was ok before taking a non refundable deposit). 3. You would think that if you change your clients lawyer without consulting with the client you’d provide every bit of information that very client provided you; NO, not the case, Philip Haas started doing his own without even consulting first and knowing half of the case; I got mad and made him aware of it and he apologized saying Maureen didn’t send him the info (hugely unprofessional and once again a very bad sign); because I did send details by email there were no way you could dispute it so he wrote off what he charged me so far with whatever he did without consulting me first and then made out a strategy plan with me starting from zero (that was well appreciated but not encouraging). 4. If you know the case and set up a strategy but then a month later forget about details regarding that case...VERY BAD SIGN. Philip Haas blamed it on the fact they just had a new born and thanked me for reminding him the details of my case and because of that now he would re-contact the insurance company (he should have done that immediately as soon as he got another “claim denied”). 5. Out of the blue turns out that the burden of proof that the insurance company is liable or not, is on me and not on the insurance company so even though the insurance company can’t prove they aren’t liable, I have to prove they are by providing documents of the truck and driver that did my pick-up... SURPRISE! So my lawyer knowing from the start I did not have any documents alike as I specified from the beginning with Maureen, at the very end let’s me know I have the burden of proof which, not having documents is clear that there is no case at all then, that’s just common sense right? ... can you prove in a very specific way who the driver and truck type is? NO, you don’t have a case, so why on earth would you take a case knowing there is no case? Because you mislead and was there for the money OR just were hugely incompetent not knowing what you were doing. Philip Haas insists they didn’t mislead, which can be true but that just means they were hugely incompetent then, which one is it? A. The insurance company have to prove they are not liable and if they can’t the burden for compensation is on them at least partially. (Maureen) -“ knowing I didn’t have documentation to prove specifics regarding the pick-up driver and truck type. Or B. You have to prove the insurance company is liable (even though you were insured) in order for them to compensate you by providing documents of who the driver and truck type was (Philip) Both are contradicting each other and therefore misleading or simply pure incompetence in the matter. Federal court? That was an option it would just have been hugely costly and time consuming and no guarantee of anythings pf course. Bad experience and a huge waste of money!

After having my last 2 lawyers disappoint me to no end inside and outside of the court room, then quit my case for their own personal reasons and finding out that no work had been done in preparation for the Parenting plan modification with only 30 days to the court date. I called Haas Law Office an...d spoke with Mauree, she was very concerned for me and our situation with my son, she asked all the right questions listened to my story and helped me understand what could possibly be done in our situation and then set up an appointment to meet with Philip for the same day! We met with Philip at a Starbucks on my way home from work, in desperate need of help. Philip amazed both of us!! He listened to everything we both had to say (and it was a lot) he looked over ever document we gave him and he asked the questions that kept us on track. After our meeting we offered to help carry the two huge boxes of court papers, I brought with me, out to his car. Philip replied “No thank you, I am going to get started right now” OMG!! We are so happy and thankful to have this team working with us, so happy we cried tears of joy and relief on the way home :O)
