RUN...don't walk in the other direction. The attorney assigned to me went out on leave and sent a replacement to my workmans comp hearing who was supposed to be up on my case, but was going to meet me 30 min early to go over the particulars anyway.
Well, she was 45 mins late..had no idea what my case was about and appeared as a deer in the headlights in front of the judge.
The employers attorney was top notch ..tho full of baloney and animated, she won the case at that hearing.
It was subsequently all down hill from there.
I was sent to the courts Dr so we could appeal, and that Dr also mentioned he'd not even looked at my records prior to seeing me at the appt..He made NOTABLE errors in his report submitted 2 days later. I called those errors to the attention of the THIRD attorney that showed up at the final hearing and he parroted the erroneous information in the report to the Judge. One of the errors had to do with the Dr stating I saw a particular Dr and his diagnosis for an injury...that i didn't even see that Dr for that body part! Huge mistake. I was so tired of the fight and lack of decent representation and almost losing my house after being out of work 2 years..and 2 surgeries later..I settled for $12,000 at the Attorneys INSISTENCE! Claimed the judge would not change his ruling. After "their" original loss, I knew I was dealing either with LOSERS certainly not winners!! Don't know how to listen, read or relay facts to the court, all the while telling you that's all they do. Btw..very friendly with opposing counsel. Just saying. Run!! Don't walk. read more
