I would not give this agency a star however, that option was not available. After reading the reviews I have to confirm what has been posted. Albeit compensation for a workers comp case maybe minimal its better than not having any compensation because of not having clients. After meeting with the attorney I agreed to have him represent me.Once cleared to return to work I contacted the attorney, only to have to deal with Irma, his assistant. After leaving countless messages for Irma, and no return calls, I decided I would leave a message for my attorney making it very clear that I did not want to speak to anyone other than my attorney. I received a call from Irma. I made it very clear that I did not want to speak to her as she was very rude. I informed her that I would look for another attorney if I had to deal with her the duration of my case, at which time I was told to go ahead and find another attorney. I hung up on her and immediately contacted a co-worker that provided me with the name and number of my current attorney. The following day Irma attempted to contact me, and was very apologetic stating she recently had a death in the family. Irma must deal with death on a daily bases, as her attitude displays a person that is miserable & hateful. I have informed as many co-workers, especially the one that recommended them, not to use this lawfirm as they are incompetent.
I should have searched for the reviews of this law office because I would have never hired these people! I seen the lawyer once since our free consultation. I hired them in Jan and haven't heard from them in 4 months. I left plenty of messages and no returned phone calls. I drove up to the office and asked to see my file and to see the status and they haven't done anything since march when they sent a letter to workman's comp for my paperwork. Before I hired the lawyer I was told that I should be receiving Disability Insurance since I lost my job instead of Unemployment. I called the lawyer back before I stopped my unemployment to make sure I am ok to receive disability insurance because I didn't want to be turned down and have no income to take care of my kids and myself. The lawyer secretary assured me there would be no problem. A month later after filing a claim with disability I get denied. I asked the lawyer to call me cause now I have no income and cant pay my rent or take care of my kids. I have bills left and right and can't pay none of them. I get no phone call back. This lawyer is about to have me and my two kids in the street by next week cause Its been a month since I paid any of my bills. Im about to fire him and find another workman's comp lawyer and sue this lawyer for legal misrepresentation. RUN FAR AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE LAZY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE DOING!!
This law office is HORRIBLE! They never return your calls! The paralegals & receptionists are rude! I My paralegal told me that I could not make an appointment w/my attorney until a authorization for a doctors appointment was received. I told her that I was paying them to take care of my case & she told me I was not paying them. So I guess that means they take on cases for free then! I also scheduled an appointment to meet w/my attorney 1 month in advance & after I got there & waited 20 min to be seen, the rude receptionist told me they were running late & my appointment needed tho be rescheduled. BEWARE! They are very unprofessional & will screw up your case. They do not realize that it is your life they are messing with.
