Worst Lawyer ever

Michael Dreskin has my case since 08/17/2017. Through this case he's explained I've I was getting several different accts, 100,000/ 75,000, 25,000/ 15,000/ speaking to him he explained I'm ONLY getting 7,500/ then his 33.3% comes out. Now this man has disappeared for 2 years, no call/ no check in abo...ut my case. I call he gets very rude, very unprofessional, he hangs up on me, and request paperwork at the last minute. I need to know if it's anyone, or can I have another lawyer to look into my case. I have a feeling this man is trying to rob me/ he keeps blaming it on GEICO, my heart is telling me their more to this case then what's appear. This man keep talking about trial. How he's trying to get more money by going to trial. If someone read this please contact me.. I need someone to look at this immediately.

The WORST attorney ever!!

Michael Dreskin is the worst lawyer that I’ve ever known. He took on my accident case back in November 2018 then he went missing for months at a time. Also, I called him for a status update and his voice mailbox is constantly full. That is if he even picked up calls or return them in the first place.... On two separate occasions, I’d go 2-3 months without hearing from him. Then he finally respond to my emails and calls when I threatened to hire another attorney to replace. What kind of attorney goes 2 to 3 months without speaking to their client? I DO NOT recommend him at all unless you want an attorney who has a poor line of communication and unprofessional (who hangs up on you). Yes. That’s right! This attorney hung up on me during a phone call I had with him. His own client, he treats this way. This is the WORST attorney, I’ve ever hired. You’d be better off hiring another lawyer or pro se, representing yourself, to that matter.

Why you did me wrong

If he's a criminal lawyer, why would he take on a personal injury case and miss it up and himself. There's amount of $7,400 missing from a so called trust fund that never sent any papers from Trenton to verify any of this, so where did the money go that's more than a 3rd. Sound like a fraud to me. Mo...ney for a trial what trail, I was in a car accident. Next time kept your sorry behind in Newark and not run me down.
