y experience with Sean Stokes and RisCassi & Davis was extremely disappointing…read more I came to the firm after a bad experience with prior counsel and made my expectations clear from the beginning. I am a working professional, communication matters to me, and Thursdays were particularly difficult for me. Unfortunately, communication became one of the biggest problems with this representation. I frequently felt that Sean did not listen to me or take the information I provided seriously. When I researched publicly available information about my own case and brought facts to his attention, instead of discussing the substance with me, I was sometimes questioned about how I obtained the information. Conversations about the potential financial value of my case were also unnecessarily difficult. I eventually moved important communication to email because verbal communication had become so frustrating. I was also disappointed by how much administrative work I felt I had to perform myself. At intake, I personally obtained the police report and copied and provided records at my own expense. I hired a personal-injury firm expecting that once I supplied the necessary information, the firm would take responsibility for moving the case forward. My greatest concern, however, was the evaluation of my injuries. I repeatedly felt that my case was being treated primarily as a soft-tissue injury despite my concerns that something more significant was going on. When settlement negotiations began, the insurer's initial offer was approximately $10,000, which would not even have covered the medical expenses associated with the claim. After approximately three rounds of negotiations, the offer had only reached roughly $20,000. I ultimately changed attorneys. After changing representation and further developing the medical evidence, my claim was presented as involving a significant cervical spine injury rather than simply a soft-tissue case. My subsequent attorney obtained the full $100,000 insurance policy limit. That difference in outcome is ultimately what defines my experience. I understand that no attorney can guarantee a particular settlement and that additional medical evidence developed over time. However, as the person who has to live with this injury, I needed an attorney who would listen when I raised concerns, investigate them seriously, communicate professionally, and be prepared to litigate if a reasonable resolution could not be reached. I did not feel that I received that from Sean. I found his communication at times condescending, and I often felt that discussions became more about challenging what I was saying than listening to the client. I also entered the representation believing I had hired someone prepared to take the matter to court if necessary, while my experience ultimately left me believing that settlement was the overriding priority. Switching attorneys was difficult and caused additional stress and delay, but in my case it ultimately resulted in a dramatically different evaluation and outcome. Based on my personal experience, I would not use Sean Stokes nor would i recommend this law firm.

My review of Attorney McCoy, has triggered him to show his true colors. (read his response below,…read morethat validates his lack of integrity) He sent a federal marshall, to our home on July 22, 2014, around 7:15AM, according to neighbors who not only watched this, but (2) videoed what went on with their I-phones. This marshall, was kicking and opening the screen door to bang and bang on both doors even the side porch door, to "serve me" with a threatening email. Its not even a lawsuit which he had threatened, over my very honest review! My son never heard the banging, because his air conditioner was running. Two neighbors called my digicel phone to tell me about the noise. They were so upset, and this then "triggered,"my documented PTSD, to erupt, to a full panic attack. That causes spasms around my 4 level cervical anterior fusion. Homes on both sides of our home have daycare. Attorneys watched this marshall, kick and bang the doors, and were rather upset that their children were also seeing this, as they were dropped off for daycare. All you did was embarass your firm. They all now know, it came from McCoy. He is angry because my personal injury case, turned into a "lien case", and instead of being honest with me, he drummed up documents, I would never sign. One was a "waiver" that allows this attorney, to profit more off the personal injury then I. I am the one with ongoing medical bills. If I was going to grant "indemnity", then why file the suit to begin with? It makes no sense that I would not want the person who maimed me for life, to be held accountable. Telling me I am defaming you is stupid..the document came from your office via email. Those (2) documents are why I lost my civil rights lawsuit against the lying state trooper. It is cited in the summary judgement, so you cannot keep saying, I posted a "defamatory" review. Even John Williams can verify this. Why is the settlement, (that was altered) not dated? A ton of people want to know. . His letter goes on......"in addition, I will consider any transfer of assets including real estate from this date forward as a fraudulent transfer and I will seek to invalidate such transfer." Suing your maimed, disabled client, who lives in a MIAMI-J neck brace, and taking all her assets and "our" home? Would you want your attorney to treat you, like that? Talk about vindictive. There are tons of sites just to review attorneys and doctors. This lawfirm uses youtube to post their clients reviews. ONLY the happy clients are allowed to use their "free speech" rights. Anyone with a complaint, and its, "off with their head". The fact is, not every single person you represent is going to be elated with the outcome. You know she was underinsured, and you know I came into your office with ANTHEM as my primary insurance. The home is my husbands and he is not part of the lawsuit. We have duel citizenship, and I am positive, we will not be extradited, over a negative review. Calling me "delusional" and not a "real client", validates my review even more. Are you a "real attorney"? We are officially done now.....back to my water therapy~

I fell at work due to negligence of the building and called McCoy & McCoy for help. Jessica took on…read moremy case informing me not to speak to the building or anyone else about this issue. The building had offered to pay my medical bills, but I fear I may have permanent injuries which medical bills alone cannot compensate for, not to mention my pain and suffering for months due to the buildings negligence. Jessica kept pressuring me to see more doctors and make more appointments, but after I consulted with my doctor I was informed that doing exersizes at home would be as good as physical therapy and that it will take some time before everything fully heals, if it does. After this months went by where I did e-mailed and called Jessica, as well as her associate Taylor. Nobody returned my calls and never got an e-mail reply from Jessica. After writing this I got a call back explaining there were some staffing issues the past few months and apologizing for the lack of communication. I do hope as things progress I get better communication. Even a simple reply to my e-mail would have been appreciated.
