The federal standard of care to prevent a weak patient from drowning on vomit is to be in recovery position which he was not as well as left alone for long periods of time. He also needed a doctor the night of his death which they never called in to examine my husband. Paul Amore doesn't know any of the details of the night John died bcuz he got a CD on my husband's medical records and sent me a letter without ONE conversation as to why Mr Amore did not see any lack of care. He said in the letter I could call him anytime which I did twice and after 3 weeks I have not heard from him or his office. I now have a CD which without a converter to a flash drive or a PDF file in which I could proceed in finding an attorney with compassion and interest in speaking with me in person to level the scales of justice by hearing what I was told about that night my husband died. He was ignored and left to die alone, I called his nurse but she neglected to call me and let me know he was sick for 9 hours. Then Paul Amore ignored me. No one should be medically mistreated in a hospital where you think you loved ones are being cared for. Then I get ignored by an attorney who was recommended highly, but wouldn't want anyone else to be grieving a loss of a spouse and then to be completely ignored by legal professionals.

I was never asked any questions, just a month later a response from one of the attorneys stating "After reviewing the information you provided, and conducting our own research, we have reached the conclusion that we will be unable to assist you any further, We wish we could help every person who contacts us. Unfortunately, that is just not possible. We believe that every case deserves the full time and attention of the attorney who takes it. At this time, we are simply unable to make the proper commitment to your case. This decision does not mean there are no meritorious claims. There may be other lawyers who could potentially assist you with your case, and we encourage you to continue your search for legal counsel. " For a law firm to say that they're unable to make a proper commitment to your case speaks volumes, for isn't that why they're in business?" Don't waste your time (like I did). I bought into the reviews (more than likely not real), and I should have done more research before contacting them. Avoid at all costs!

Based on my personal experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering this firm. I would not…read morerecommend working with Jill or Mark. I questioned their integrity, and they seemed to lack a moral compass. They appeared to care more about the money they were making than about the actual client. They also have billboards placed by nearly every major highway and intersection with high accident rates, which says a lot. In my opinion, that is the kind of marketing you often see from what's known in the business as ambulance chasers. COMMUNICATION From start to finish, I did not feel supported or properly informed. I initially worked with Jill, but due to poor communication and unprofessional conduct, I eventually had to move my case to Mark. In one conversation, Jill ended the call while I was still asking basic questions about where my money was going, which felt extremely disrespectful in a personal injury case where clear communication should be a priority. Most of my communication went through an assistant named Leslie, and at times it felt like I was doing much of the work myself--gathering evidence, tracking down paperwork, and helping build my own case--only to be charged for it. That was not the level of service I expected from a law firm. BILLING AND MEDICAL EXPENSES My biggest concern was how the settlement was handled and how much of it went toward medical expenses. I was charged about $1,500 for an MRI and roughly $650 to $680 for each 60-minute therapy session. In my opinion, those charges were excessive and did not reflect the care I actually received. The physical therapy I was sent to did not feel like real treatment. Much of it involved lying on a massage table and doing self-guided exercises. I was billed $300 for simple exercises like spinning a wheel and another $400 to $500 just for lying on a massage table. There was no hands-on therapy, and I was also billed for generic products as if they were brand-name items. It felt misleading, and it seemed to me that the providers they sent me to were familiar with this firm. When I questioned the charges, I was told the providers might not come to court if I challenged them. At one point, I was also told that if I kept asking where the money was going, no one might show up for me if the case went to court. I was accused of alienating them when all I wanted was to know why they were price gouging. That made me feel pressured into accepting billing practices I did not agree with, and I was forced to settle when I didn't want to. My own insurance would have covered an MRI for far less, and the lien paid to my insurance company was significantly lower than the amount billed by another provider they sent me to, which from my perspective appeared to have a business relationship with the firm. At one point, the medical charges were run up to nearly $10,000, and in reality there is no way the treatment I received should have cost anywhere near that amount. When I asked the firm to renegotiate some of the expenses, they declined. Even the first time those bills were reduced, I had to ask for it--it was not done willingly. I had to advocate throughout the entire process just to get basic questions answered and to push for any reduction at all. That made me question whether they were truly looking out for my best interests. I also had to speak directly with the adjuster myself about replacing my car, car seat, broken cell phone, and other losses because I did not feel the firm was advocating for me on those issues. SETTLEMENT PROCESS It took a full year to settle my case because I was constantly fighting for a fair outcome. The initial offer was nowhere near reasonable, and I had to advocate for myself to get it increased by $9,000. Even after that, I still did not believe the settlement was fair. I do not feel I should have had to push so hard when I was paying a 33% attorney fee for someone to advocate on my behalf. By the time everything was deducted, I ended up with only about half of the full settlement, and I do not believe the firm fought hard enough for me. OVERALL EXPERIENCE Overall, I did not feel supported or properly represented throughout this process. It felt like I had to advocate for myself every step of the way, and I honestly do not know what I paid the attorneys for. I do not feel they did a good job for me, and I wish I had gone somewhere else. It felt like the firm was more focused on collecting their 33% than on truly caring about my pain and suffering or fighting for a fair result. I was left feeling taken advantage of in multiple ways. They benefitted from my misfortune. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to ask detailed questions upfront and read the negative reviews carefully before signing anything. Don't make the same mistake I made.

I said I didn't say you were taking my case, so consider yourself FIRED (when never hired) and I would be filing a complaint on both Yelp and with the Maryland Office of Bar Counsel for how I was treated. Very disappointed, but glad he showed his true colors now and not later when it's too late. Avoid at all costs. I told Mr. Kopec that night over the phone that my nephew and I contacted various lawyers (online), so he's not correct. This morning (June 24th), he was angry, rude, and unprofessional for no reason. He tried reaching out to me by email since I blocked his calls to discuss what he said was my Yelp review. Perhaps he wanted me to delete it, which I will not for all of it is true. Now he wants to try to upset my family even more. No thanks, we would NEVER either patronize or recommend your Law Firm.
