Do not hire this firm. I repeat...DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM. This firm engages in intentional cruelty and deceptive practices.
DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM.
Here's the facts of my case:
12/5/24 - I was hit by a car while crossing the street
12/5/24 - I hired this firm for representation in the case
12/7/24 - 4/20/25 - saw numerous doctors (all within the McCormick network)
5/19/25 - first time speaking with the attorney assigned to my case (Dallas Olsen) who confirmed that she had just returned to work from maternity leave & had given birth in January; she also advised that the case was being wrapped up and I needed to sign the consent to settle document (document was signed/returned the same day)
6/5/25 - asked for an update (I'd been calling 1x per week for the updates) and was told that the check from the insurance company was received 5/22/25 and cleared on 5/30/25 & the last step was to negotiate all medical bills. I questioned this b/c the ONLY doctor I saw who was not a part of their network was the ER & ambulance transport; she advised that she was having difficulties getting in touch with the hospital and they were providing limited info b/c of authorization. On the same day I called the hospital and confirmed that they had authorization since 1/16/25 and it was good through July 2025. I signed another authorization to make sure that they had extended authorization
6/18/25 - spoke to the attorney to get an update and was told that they were rejected for the reduction of the ER bill
6/18/25 - I contacted the hospital to find out why...they were rejected b/c they didn't submit the correct documentation, I followed up with the attorney and shared the information from the hospital so that this could be pushed through
7/27/25 - I sent an email to Cagney McCormick and advised of my disappointment in how my case was handled. My exact words in that email were: "My primary concern revolves around the inexplicable delay in negotiating the outstanding emergency room bill from December 5, 2024. This crucial initial bill has created a stalemate in my case and is particularly perplexing for two key reasons: 1. **It was the first medical bill received** following the incident, and should have been addressed with immediate priority; 2. **It represents the only medical service I received that was not pre-designated or arranged through your firm's network of doctors.** This distinction should have prompted a more proactive and swift resolution, rather than prolonged inaction."
6/27/25 - I received an immediate response from Cagney McCormick stating (amongst other things) "If you want less money, I can pay you out quickly but if you want more I need your patience." Cagney sent a second response approximately 15 minutes later stating "So attached is what the current breakdown is. I do not think we are going to get a bigger reduction from the ER. I have lowered my fee by $1000. If you agree to this I can have the check mailed on Monday once you sign this. Please review and let us know what you want to do."
6/29/25 - I replied to the email advising that the document for release of funds was signed/attached. I also advised that my expectation (per his email) was that the check would be mailed on Monday 6/30/25 and that tracking information would be sent to me to confirm shipment.
7/2/25 - I sent a follow up email advising that as I had not received a tracking number nor a check
7/11/25 - I received an email from Cagney McCormick asking "Have you received the check?" I replied advising that I had not received the check, however earlier that morning I received a FedEx tracking number via text and when I checked the tracking through the FedEx website, it showed that on July 11, 2025 a shipping label was created for a 2 day delivery (which meant that I would not receive the check until Monday, July 14, 2025)
7/14/25 - The check arrived. The date printed on the check was 7/11/25.
Moral of this long story:
1. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM. They have no intention on helping anyone with anything, they only want to get paid.
2. Check the BBB before hiring any firm.
3. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM.
