WARNING: If you care about communication with your attorney or about their honesty, this is not the firm for you! This law firm will put you through mental HELL! This is a review from another legal professional (I have never practiced this type of law so I am no competition. I am simply a disgruntled client)
I am an Attorney myself (not a personal injury attorney), so I understand legal ethics and the process of a lawsuit. However, this has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. I am constantly lied to and told something is done when it's clear it has not been. Worse yet, you have to figure out the lack of diligence by yourself because they will not communicate that they did not complete what they said they would do; they simply Ghost you.
I try not to be the pushy client and to let them perform their craft, but I have spoken to them only 4 times in over a year. Good luck getting a callback. (TIP: call from a different number and pretend you are a new client, they will call you back right away) When I do speak to them, I am told something is done when it is not. Nice on the phone when you can reach them, but zero follow-through. They do not care even in the slightest what the client asks nor what is in his best interest. In fact, I am not sure what goals they have. At first, I thought they were mentally Ill with the way they acted, then I thought they were simply greedy (which I could tolerate), but as time passed, it was clear there was no logical reasoning for their conduct and lack of professionalism. There should be a sitcom about this law firm, bc it would actually be funny if it were not your case.
I am on the fence about reporting them to the MI Bar examiners for ethics violations. I wish no ill will but I am almost to the point of a cry for help!! And I do not wish this treatment for anyone else who mistakenly hires this group. If I did not need this lawsuit to pay expenses, I would fire them and start over. (still may need to) If they do not change their conduct soon, I am going to blast this everywhere and even do a podcast on how abysmal this firm acts. I would worry about how they will treat me after this post, but since it can not get any worse without outright fraud or theft being committed, I do not care anymore. Something needs to be done because attorneys should NEVER treat clients like this. (cue the lawyer jokes)
Let me be clear, this type of law is not complex at all, the law is cookie cutter, but it is all about process and the art of negotiation, and no attorney should ignore their clients, EVER. It's crazy when someone with a legal background feels this way...I can not even imagine how someone with no legal experience feels. I know other attorneys who are litigators and they can not explain this situation either. I feel like we need a support group after this experience. read more
