The only service that was provided was research which was completed in no time with little effort. After that they just dropped it. Never heard anything. My son had wrote to them asking for some answers and never heard back. He finally was told that his lawyer had left but they would help in anyway; so he writes again and never heard anything. I personally feel that the money was all that they wanted. We would have gladly paid the remaining 10k if they had accompanied anything. I strongly suggest that when seeking out a criminal lawyer you definitely do your homework! Research them, go to several, and know that there are no refunds.

I paid $20 for a bankruptcy consultation and left feeling like I received almost no value from it…read more The phone call lasted only a few minutes, and very few questions were asked about my financial situation. As someone exploring bankruptcy for the first time, I expected the consultation to be more informative and guided. Instead, I felt like I was expected to know exactly what questions to ask, which defeats the purpose of seeking a consultation in the first place. One of the main reasons I contacted this firm was because their website suggests they assist with student loan issues. Unfortunately, I left the consultation without receiving any meaningful guidance on that topic or on my overall financial situation. What made the experience more disappointing was that I later had a consultation with another bankruptcy firm that lasted about 45 minutes. They took the time to understand my circumstances, explain my options, and answer questions I didn't even know to ask. The difference was night and day. When I requested a refund, it was denied. While I understand they have a nonrefundable policy, I do not believe the service I received justified the fee. I would recommend speaking with multiple firms before paying for a consultation from this company.

Shawn is an incredible attorney and advocate! Maginnis Howard is the top tier Personal Injury firm in NC, and if they will take your case, you are in the best hands possible.

That is not advice; it's a broken promise and breach of good faith. When I pointed out that the standard intial interview is widely accepted within the legal profession as consisting of a MUTUAL conversation between client and lawyer during which questions are answered, Cici - unapologetically - admitted, " I believe I did not do a good job explaining how our firm works. Our firm reviews cases before offering a consultation, the phone call I made to you was to get that initial information. I am not given the reasoning of that decision or the reason of why we give a specific referral. Once that decision has been made it is final." I then pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of their website: "We don't consider you a case number; you're a real person with real problems. So, we will treat you the same way we'd want to be treated: with respect, compassion, and honesty. Your rights and interests will always be at the forefront of everything we do." "Contact Us for a Consultation." I then offered a layperson's position: Google informs that "a preliminary or initial consultation with a law firm is standard procedure and a crucial first step in the attorney-client relationship that serves as a mutual evaluation where both client and attorney can determine if the client's case is a good fit for their practice." ** Crickets **

Then proceeded to tell me about a case he had where a worker was ordered to go in a trench and then buried alive in concrete and how in his trial he lost to the business. A pretty poor attitude to start nonetheless I gave them the opportunity to take my case. After going to clinics with no help from their staff in arranging any thing dealing with my condition, they demanded my health records in digital format. Informed his paralegal that I did not have an account and would be happy to sign a paper release for medical records for that specific facility since I had only been there after the Work accident injury. His firm than said, give me your name and password to your epic account and that's when i knew I was dealing with an unprofessional group of clowns that can only settle a workplace injury if the person dies or is paralyzed for life. After I informed Mike McKay of his unprofessionalism and threatened to relay these texts about sharing passwords to the Bar as well as super lawyers, he called me trying to explain he didn't want my case anymore. Go somewhere else if you care about your case ! I will be reporting Mike McKay for blatantly breaking common sense security protocols for health care data
