IMO, internet 'ambulance chasers' who won't give you the time of day unless you're case is easy and…read moreprofitable for them. I opened my online application with "I need advice." In a telephone interview, Ceilia Wood (not even a paralegal) promised advisement in the event that they did not take my case. Well, they did not take my case, but they did advise me, I suppose... to look for another firm in The North Carolina State Bar Membership Directory search engine. That is not advice; it's a broken promise and breach of good faith. When I pointed out that the standard intial interview is widely accepted within the legal profession as consisting of a MUTUAL conversation between client and lawyer during which questions are answered, Cici - unapologetically - admitted, " I believe I did not do a good job explaining how our firm works. Our firm reviews cases before offering a consultation, the phone call I made to you was to get that initial information. I am not given the reasoning of that decision or the reason of why we give a specific referral. Once that decision has been made it is final." I then pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of their website: "We don't consider you a case number; you're a real person with real problems. So, we will treat you the same way we'd want to be treated: with respect, compassion, and honesty. Your rights and interests will always be at the forefront of everything we do." "Contact Us for a Consultation." I then offered a layperson's position: Google informs that "a preliminary or initial consultation with a law firm is standard procedure and a crucial first step in the attorney-client relationship that serves as a mutual evaluation where both client and attorney can determine if the client's case is a good fit for their practice." ** Crickets **

Let's start with the first…read morecall With Mike McKay, during the consultation he informed me that I had no chance of getting a settlement because i worked for a corporation in NC, and I would get workman's comp only. Then proceeded to tell me about a case he had where a worker was ordered to go in a trench and then buried alive in concrete and how in his trial he lost to the business. A pretty poor attitude to start nonetheless I gave them the opportunity to take my case. After going to clinics with no help from their staff in arranging any thing dealing with my condition, they demanded my health records in digital format. Informed his paralegal that I did not have an account and would be happy to sign a paper release for medical records for that specific facility since I had only been there after the Work accident injury. His firm than said, give me your name and password to your epic account and that's when i knew I was dealing with an unprofessional group of clowns that can only settle a workplace injury if the person dies or is paralyzed for life. After I informed Mike McKay of his unprofessionalism and threatened to relay these texts about sharing passwords to the Bar as well as super lawyers, he called me trying to explain he didn't want my case anymore. Go somewhere else if you care about your case ! I will be reporting Mike McKay for blatantly breaking common sense security protocols for health care data

First and foremost, it's not one of those companies that market hard to get your business. I found these guys by word of mouth. The place seems to be run by mostly family. The lady at the front desk is beyond kind, friendly, and helpful. People have to retain legal services and the people in this place take the edge off the stress you have. They don't nickle and dime you. They charge you a fair price and that's that. They also take genuine interest in your case. I like this place mostly because it seems to be the first firm I've visited that doesn't look like a "luxury apartment complex." It's decorated classy and traditionally. Makes me feel like I'm being charged for their services and not for their furnishings. They are also really good. Beyond professional and smart. They stay on top of everything. With my paper work I have copies of everything. They answer emails timely and spend a decent amount of time with you. Mostly mid to older lawyers with a lot of professional experiences in multiple fields.
