I never heard of these people until sometime in late-2011, when some attorney in a class action suit apparently representing my mother called me and told me that they settled her case, but that my mother died 5 months before that call and wanted either me and/or my siblings to come forward on her behalf.
After looking over the case and talking to a few of my friends and former co-workers, some of whom were practicing attorneys in California (I used to be a paralegal, myself), my siblings and I got together and we told the attorney allegedly representing my late mother that we would not come forward.
Since my mother died intestate in Ohio, a place she never knew and did not have relatives there, the local attorneys at KNR decided to hire their own estate attorney to take over fiduciary control of the estate and used Ohio law to do that knowing that none of her family was in the area and weren't in the position to contest it...very unscrupulous if you ask me.
I'm not sure how my mother came to work with these people other than she was set up because of the situation she was placed in, where the State of New Mexico's welfare department hired a third-party administrator to handle her case, rule her incapable of living her life independently and conducting her own business and then shipping her off to Ohio, where she had no family or any other ties to that state, where she spent the last 5 years of her life.
After she died in the Spring of 2011, my siblings and I out here in California (back then) and Colorado discovered that she was made a plaintiff in all these class action suits ranging from defective medicines to defective medical products and the one thing in common in all these cases was the KNR law firm.
I felt that my mother was taken advantage of by somebody either in that law firm or with ties to that law firm and used her situation and her maladies to enrich themselves and if I had the wherewithal to fire them from my mother's claims, I would have done that, but I didn't hire them, and they did not represent me.
These attorneys are the ones that give lawyers a bad reputation and because my siblings and I found ourselves in no position to contest these activities that they undertook to hijack my mother's estate like they were Mohammad Atta and American Airlines Flight 11, all we could do was just sit back and ignore what these scoundrels were doing.
Well after seeing the previous Yelp review, I decided it was best to tell of my experience with this law firm, even though I was not a client, my mother was when she was alive. read more
