Rating = 0/0 I had…read morethe most unprofessional experience with the Workmens Compensation lawyer Kurt Knisley. He violated several parts of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct by threatening to put a lien on my claim, not once, but twice, for simply asking questions and expressing concerns. He violated the following core rules: Rule 1.2 (Scope of representation; allocation of authority) The client decides the objectives of representation, including whether to settle; the lawyer must consult with the client about means and keep the client reasonably informed. Rule 1.4 (Communication)Requires the lawyer to keep the client reasonably informed and to explain matters so the client can make informed decisions. Violation: Kurt Knisley did not inform me nor provide the details of the settlement demand until after the document was sent to the Respondent. He provided no option for the demand letter to be tailored according to my needs. Kurt threatened to withdraw as counsel and to place a lien on my claim in response to me asking him why this was done. Kurt Knisley decided to try to intimidate, instead of communicating and consulting. Rule 1.5 (Fees)Fees and expenses must be reasonable, and any lien for fees must be based on a valid fee agreement and applicable law. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the lien primarily as leverage to silence my concerns. This is inconsistent with the requirement that fee practices be fair and reasonable. Rule 1.16 (Declining or terminating representation)Lists when a lawyer may withdraw but requires withdrawal to be done in a way that protects the client's interests. Violation: Kurt Knisley used the threat of withdrawal and lien in a way that materially harmed my case simply because I challenged his strategy and asked questions. Rule 8.4 (Misconduct)Prohibits conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, and conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice. Violation:The lien threat was knowingly misleading about Kurt Knisley's actual intention and was mainly used to coerce me into silence or agreement. I would not recommend Kurt for any Workmens Compensation case on these grounds. Kurts threats were retaliatory and coercive. A lawyer should not try to punish a client simply for disagreeing or asking questions. After all, it is a lawyers responsibility to keep clients informed, and represent their lawful objectives diligently.

If I could rate minus I would. In 2014 I retained this unqualified firm to investigate the death of…read moremy daughter. She was 29. She was run over twice, and ignored by the Muskingum County Sheriff department and Community Ambulance for 25 minutes after they arrived. A woman witness informed sheriff personnel and emergency personnel that the man, Matt Mock, had indeed told her "quick call 911 I ran over her". Matt Mock denied harming her when questioned by deputies. The witness and her husband cared for my daughter as it states in the officer own written statements. An officer wrote they were told of her condition. The emergency crew acted after 25 minutes when my daughter stated "I can not breathe". She was taken to Good Samaritan where neither the emergency and sheriff department informed hospital staff. After she coded, they ripped her chest open slicing an artery they did not know. At the scene, sheriff department personnel allowed Matt Mock to leave in his full size 4 wheel drive truck. After my daughter died he was arrested. The court system railroaded Matt Mock. Although he did the deed, the lack of prompt emergency care was denied to my daughter. Mistakes at the hospital killed my daughter. Mat Mock later shot himself. This firm knew all of this. This firm refused to keep me informed. This firm threaten me with withdrawing unless I signed an agreement. From that point on, this firm would call with tid bits. This firm talked of millions in settlement. This firm waited until the last possible date, called me and told me I owed 33,000.00. Part of the insurance from Matt Mock. From there, after I received the money call I was to meet this firm. At that time this firm handed me a stack of papers and wanted their money. As I walked out the door without any explanation, this firm's rep replied, " It took them 35 minutes to get her to the hospital. This was unknown to me. Since this rep knew, he chose to defraud me in terms of no actual action towards those responsible. His only concern was the 33,000.00. He held my hands tied as time past to the point where I could do nothing. I got nothing from this firm. This firm along with an elected judge worked with Matt Mock's family instead of focusing on my daughter. I am not afraid of posting this. Sure they are legal, they cant deny any of this.
