I had to get another car which put me $13,000 in debt. I was lucky my house was paid for or I would have been homeless. My lawyer was ok but not aggressive, the case dragged on for over 2 years, they kept postponing the appointments to discuss the settlement. In the end I wound up with $33,000, lost wages, debt for another car, about $25,000. I would not recommend Hardy, Wolf, and Downing.

It's all about the numbers. It is the job of Hardy Wolf and Downing Law Firm to get every penny you are entitled to and they do it very well.

Mr. Shankman is only out for himself. He breached attorney client privilege to benefit himself,…read moreinvoices are NEVER accurate, very unorganized, he nor his staff respond to e-mails, or voicemails timely ( sometimes 3 months later), misplacing files, other clients files in FULL VIEW during appointments, lack of professionalism all around, double talker, best interest of client is NOT on his agenda, failure to perform conflict of interest checks, roaming eyes, foul language. He will drain you for all the money you have and DON'T have!! This is NOT an exaggeration. After 3 years and over $30k, and due to his failure to perform a conflict check on Attorney Jon Plourde, whom he hired after his license was reinstated from a 2 year suspension (Mr. Plourde had represented my ex in another firm) Mr. Shankman had to withdraw from my case within 48 hours of our court hearing. A blessing in disguise, as I found an excellent Attorney that DID put my best interest first. Please take the time to research his reputation, via Board of Overseers of the Bar, reprimands of the past and currently pending. Do not be fooled!

I dislike ads where someone yells at me and this form of ambulance chasing wiz bang, standing on a semi yelling at me, then a car crashing beside him spells to me non serious lawyers out for themselves, using distraction and grand promises of big bucks. Lawyer advertising on TV used to be illegal and the Lowry advertisements tells us why... self serving lawyers that bring insurance rates up for the general public. Some one has to pay for those horrible non stop TV ads, but it won't be me.

They can't even get you all that. They take forever and want to settle as fast as they can yo get their money. Fight for you? What a joke. Hardy Wolfe and Downing are even worse. You're better off trying to settle on your own. They take their 1/3 off the top of the pathetic settlement then pay all the medical bills you incur which you will have substantial bills as you need lots of documentation to get any type of settlement.

I had a very poor experience with this firm and strongly encourage others to seek out other firms…read more I felt that there was a strong bias against men and men's rights in family matters. This seemed to be a culture engrained in the attorneys and staff at the firm. It felt to me like we were immersed in the 1980's in terms of their views on divorce, custody, and parental rights. Legal matters are stressful and difficult enough to deal with. You shouldn't have to feel like you are enduring additional persecution and biases from your own representation. The other major issue I had with the firm was their billing. It really felt as though they had no interest in solving my case quickly and sought to draw things out as much as possible. In fact, the judge in my case cited in his ruling that the attorney's fees for the other side were excessive (my fees from Andrucki and King were even more than hers but my fees weren't put in front of the judge for his comment- so, draw your own conclusions). The discovery process was a disaster with having to provide the same documents repeatedly and be billed for their review. I was actually called by Ms. Andrucki and asked to email a document that I had already provided and was in my file. When questioned about this and her billing me to call to request this, she told me it "was actually cheaper for me to have her call me and ask me to resend it then to pay her for her time to search through my file to find it." Again, I would seek representation elsewhere.
