Mr. Fotheringham set up a living trust for my elderly mother. Due to advanced age, she was not able…read moreto travel to their office, so he came to her and explained the options available and pros/cons of each issue. He asked her for what she prefered and captured her choices. A week later he returned (by appointment) and read the trust and explained each section for how it would work. He asked her what tasks she wanted to do to transfer ownership into the trust and what she wanted him to do. I was very impressed with the care and professionalism. After my mother passed I became the executor, and the estate management worked exactly as he had explained. He made himself available for questions or advice. I referred him to a friend at work for trust creation and that friend was also pleased. I have also had Mr. Fotheringham create a living trust for my family, so my children will have a much easier task in distribution and closing our estate. I highly recommend him to anyone who has estate legal needs.

Unreasonable Fees for HOA Collections:…read more I am not a client of this firm; I am a homeowner subject to their debt collection activities. My experience involves what I believe to be excessive fee-shifting practices. According to the ledger provided to me, this firm charged over $4,000 in fees to collect a balance of around $300. Specifically, on May 14, 2024, my account was billed five separate collection fees totaling approximately $1,296 in a single day. While I understand debts must be paid, I believe charging thousands of dollars in fees for a minor late balance is disproportionate and unfair to consumers. I share this so other homeowners are aware of how this firm operates regarding fee structures."

I've had a legal name change to Eileen Gannon since 2024. After I did the work that should have…read morebeen done by his office I felt I should share the experience. An agreement with an attorney in the office of Mayor Law was signed 2022-Oct giving Mayor Law proof of representation in an auto claim. Officially PIP was exhausted 25 April 2024. May 16 the attorney received digitally all payments; bills, notes, coding. At that time we should have sent the demand letter. I waited until July 4, 2024, contacted her, accepting the $3000 offer from April. I signed an agreement 29-July-2024. She received $3870 for costs and fees. I contacted her August 20 asking when I would get the settlement. She had been waiting on Progressive to update the Medicare liability section. She told me she still needed lien information on Medicaid, DHS, Medicare, and Med Advantage - and the 3 small businesses that treated me. I was 7 hours on the phone 20-23 August 2024 to contact insurances about liens on the settlement $3000: Medicare over the phone told me there was no lien (2nd payor and there was no hospitalization expected in the mail 9/9/2024 ZERO owing). I called and got the procedure and fax number to Recovery for Mayor Law. Email attached attorney requesting I provide all Providence visits, summaries, billing. Attached ZERO owing PHP. DHS Medicaid (they faxed info right away which could have taken a month) in response to long email that EOB shows owing. My 3 small business folk who only take cash unless it was PIP were asked to provide the same information already given by my insurance carrier on May 16 to the attorney. LISTEN. Mayor Law did not do the work she agreed to and I was on the phone 7 hours beginning it. 9/6/2024 Friday I received call stating the duo Advantage and Medicaid for medicare members N E V E R create liens but would reversed to provider. Received a lien for $11.08 for xray would be paid correctly if Ayin Health Solutions would submit through Providence and Medicaid. Seems Mayor Law made a deal to pay 11.08 out of settlement without first notifying me! I have to deal with an attorney that would do that! HOW come they continue to argue they are still searching for a lien to take out of the settlement. It gives me the creeps: either they have done something to hide with the money or they are phonies. Ayin Health Solutions understood the attorney did not do the research before negotiating the cost to be 11.08 for the xray. I received attached. It will be weeks (months) before I get the 11.08. Imagine if your mistake cost more? Hard work was missing and communication.

I am currently involved in an active civil lawsuit against this attorney for legal malpractice,…read morefraudulent inducement, professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. I retained her specifically to pursue a change of venue and related motions. From the beginning, she assured me that a change of venue was possible and charged me a substantial amount for what she described as research and preparation related to that issue. Despite those assurances and the fees I paid, the work was not carried out as represented. There were repeated delays, changes in direction and a lack of follow-through on key actions I hired her to perform. Without my knowledge or consent, she consulted with other attorneys I had prior relationships with and billed me thousands of dollars for those communications. I was also billed for work that did not advance my case in a meaningful way. Communication was inconsistent, and at times unprofessional. I experienced conduct that did not reflect the level of professionalism or focus I expected from legal counsel handling a serious matter. Overall, I paid a massive amount of money based on specific representations about what would be done, and those expectations were not met. Given my experience, I would strongly caution others to carefully evaluate representation, ask detailed questions about billing and strategy, and ensure clear expectations are documented before proceeding.

The driver was caught the following day, but decided to blame me for the accident, even though I was sitting in my parked car when it happened. Thanks to Randys representation, we were able to settle on my behalf, outside of court. The second accident was a disaster. I was a passenger in a car with an under the influence driver. This of course I was unaware of until after the accident. It gets worse.. On our way to our destination we were side swiped by a drunk driver that had just left her job site, working as a bartender. I was badly injured in this accident, spent weeks in the hospital and months in a wheel chair. With hard work and excellent doctors I am doing great today. I will, however, have life long complications especially later in life. After a couple of years, depositions, tears and a lot of hard work from my wonderful attorney, we were able again to settle this case on my behalf outside of court! The third and I pray last (as much as I love to visit Randall) accident was a side swipe by a semi on the interstate bridge in Portland Or. Thank God this accident was not too bad. I suffered whip lash, but nothing too serious. We were able to settle this case easy without any trouble, again thanks to the hard work of Randall and his office. I am very happy to have Randall on my side and I will gladly recommend him to any one in need of representation. Randall is an honest, hard working, very knowledgeable attorney who spends his off time with his family, often volunteering over seas.
