I've reached out to present my side to him to avoid wasting his, my, and the court's time and was told by the receptionist he would not meet. His client wants to go to court. We had mediation scheduled by law today. He didn't show. He knows it won't get dismissed today, but I'd have to go. Likely, he'll show next time to continue the process. That's exactly what I'd want my attorney to do if I'm the client. So, being objective and fair minded, and recognizing the job of an attorney, I can respect the games often played through the court system. Although on opposing sides, I can still acknowledge and respect the job he's doing for his client and hope he'd do that for any of his clients.

I was told after a nursing home incident that left my 94 year old grandmother with a broken arm that there wasn't enough money in it for them. They then pushed forward to persecute her family when we are in a high state of concern as she needs surgery. This kind of firm facilitates nursing homes like the one she was in and allows making nursing home neglect and abuse to be acceptable. A dollar sign cannot be put on what happened but, that is how you get any form of justice in this world today. Too bad their dollar signs are more important to them. They don't want to help the elderly. It was an under insured and low income facility so their wallets didn't like it. No heart in their BUSINESS!

A bit disappointing. The settlement I received was ok and all the people were friendly, but it came…read moreat a price. I didn't feel as if i were a priority to them - which considering what they earned for so few hours and such little negotiation imo - was surprising. I was in an accident where a car hit me as I was walking on the sidewalk. Open and shut case. Even though the perpetrator had no insurance, I had uninsured motorist so it was simply a matter of collecting from my insurance company. Imo, there was very little or no negotiating. My real complaint is that I wasn't kept informed of anything. I would have to call Melanokos every few weeks to find out what was going on (after several months elapsed first). Then they would take action and typically say, "Oh, we have to file so and so at a different place." They didn't know. This happened 3x. I never even knew the case was settled until I got a letter in the mail from my insurance company. No excuse for that. And then 3 months later I received my settlement.Also, when you sign with a firm, make sure the percentage they take is only from what YOU GET...As an example, if you agree to pay the firm 35% and your settlement is 200k dollars, make sure their 35% commission is from what you RECEIVE, because if you owe say, Medicare, the law firm might have to pay Medicare 25k (or whatever) before the law firm gives you your money. So it's 175k you get, and then they take out their 35%, but they take 35% of 200K and not the 175k lol. Why? I never would've signed up for that if i knew. I'm paying Medicare the money, and then the law firm is taking 35% of my TOTAL settlement (i.e. 200k)? So I'm paying 135% of what i owe Medicare? How ridiculous. I probably ended up with a bit more using Melanokos than if i did it myself, but not worth the aggravation, "extra" payment, and basically no communication from them - unless it was initiated by me. Not for me.
