Client interactions

Definitely leaves current clients hanging telling them in essence go elsewhere. Curt. No help with referrals. Overall impression firm focused on the bill not results.

mva personal injury

In 2009 I was in a mva accident with a corporate company. ( fyi Police report stated I was 100 percent not at fault) I thought hiring Scott cifrese was a good idea because he knew the corporate law world. I was sadly mistaken only after the settlement was finalized. First off Scott was extremely hard... to get ahold of and rarely returned phone calls from me in a timely manner if at all. Something deep down told me that he didn't care. (As lawyers only work as hard for you as they care to) I pressed forward hoping I made the right choice. During the settlement I did make a loan shark mistake which I thought Scott should have advised me not to. Or maybe helped me out knowing I had a solid case. He also never contacted anyone in my insurance company which pip would of covered and helped me not be put in the position to go to a settlement loan shark. But the biggest point to this review is about a year after my settlement i find some news out. First off during mediation when we settled, scott told me i have no doctors that back me and say the injuries i still suffer from today are directly related to my car accident. Basically saying i dont have much of a case. So a year after that im in descussion with my doctor who treated me during this time for my chronic injuries. I was still upset and made a comment on how he did not think my injuries were directly related to the mva. He looked at me with confusion and told me that in his legal inogouration (his statement for the case) hhe stated my chronic pain and further injuries were indeed directly related to the mva. I do feel strongly there was malpractice on Scott's part. I also feel he was either paid off or pushed me through the system to get his money with minimal effort.
