At approx. 11:30 am on June 13, 2011, I entered McNery & Voelker PC, Estate Settlement Services…read moreInc. and explained that I would be relocating my family out of the central Texas area. As this business handled estate settlement services, I inquired if that was related to home equity transactions as we own several residential homes in the central texas area that will be consolidated and sold soon. The real estate is valued at approximately $500,000. It seemed unusual to me that this man was talking to me in a hallway, about financial transactions at this level ... and we are right in front of chairs and offices, and yet ... he had not offered me a chair or asked me to enter his office. I quickly recieved the impression the employee of McNery & Voelker PC took one look at the color of my skin and decided it didn't matter how much money I had. All he wanted was to get me of the office. At that point I explained that I needed to use the men's room. I have a medical condition and it was immediately necessary that I use it. Often when you have a condition such as this you request to use the men's room, and you don't just start by sharing a private medical reason for the need. I am wearing a $15,000 Rolex, and it is immediately obvious based on my clothes that I am in a good place financially - especially for a man of 34 years old. Despite my simple request, I was denied access to the restroom. "Oh yes, he said, there is a restroom but it is not for people like you. If you need to use a bathroom, go somewhere else, IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM." Oh, is this woolworths in 1960, i didn't realize people with skin my color weren't allowed to eat sandwiches at the lunch counter. Shall I go to the back of the bus like Rosa Parks for you? Should a brief restroom visit for medical reasons for a documented disability be required to use the restroom at McNery & Voelker PC??? If you are not white/caucasian ... perhaps. Rather than take 2 minutes to comply with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the employee of M&V PC suggested I walk down the street and use the bathroom elsewhere. It is an emergency. That is when the profanity started. F you It's NOT MY PROBLEM etc. Why would I trust a man so unstable and so impolite with a transaction as complex and requiring of finesse as a $500,000 real estate involving multiple properties? Why would i pay a commission to a man who discriminates against me? As I walked out the door I explained I would post a YELP review because I felt his language was inappropriate and impolite. I was immediately assaulted. The employee rapidly approached me with clenched fists, and I exited the door, where he followed me with an angry raised voice and yelled "F you, you MF Dick ..." Assault is a crime and is defined as when a person is in imminent fear of physical attack. Assault does not require physical contact, just the fear of (in the victim) physical contact. Actual contact turns it into Assault and Battery. He Assaulted me. Obviously there is no point in me wasting one dollar filing a private lawsuit against him for this as I can simply file a complaint of Title III violation to the Department Of Justice Civil Rights Division 950 Pennsylvania Ave NW Disability Rights Section NYAV Washington D.C. 20530. After all, denying me the right to a men's room for immediate emergency treatment of a legally defined disability is no different from piling cinderblocks on the handicapped ramp and demanding a man in a wheelchair "leave immediately". He has no more right to "throw unwanted customers out based on their disability" than Woolworth's did when they said African-americans were not allowed to eat at the lunch counter in 1960. Did I mention that I am a member of a legally recognized minority group of which the employee of W&V PC is not? So it is clear to me the type of clients McNery & Voelker PC wants, and I am absolutely certain that if I was a member of the same racial group as McNery & Voelker PC's employees, that I would have been given instantaneous access to the restroom. Because I was not, it didn't matter that I was wearing a $15,000 watch or how much money I had: my money was the right color but my skin was not. I had heard that there was racism in the South, and actually, this was the first and only time that I have personally experienced it. I have no need for private lawsuits ... I only wish to share the criminal abuse I suffered so others can know what really lives in the hearts of McNery & Voelker PC. I pray that they are all not "like that." I will never return to the doorstep of McNery & Voelker PC, so I suppose I will never know.

This was an extremely serious and emotional situation, and I trusted that my case would be handled with care, diligence, and strong advocacy. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience.

I also continue to have concerns regarding the final disbursement and whether I received the compensation I truly deserved. Communication throughout the process lacked the transparency and clarity I expected, especially given the severity of what occurred. While I appreciate the firm taking my case, I ultimately walked away feeling unheard and uncertain about the outcome.

Willie Schmerler boasts that he is Board Certified in Personal Injury law. However his litigation…read moreskills and knowledge suggests he got his certification out of a Cracker Jack box. I was referred to him by a neighborhood lawyer. I've have served as an expert witness in traumatic spinal injuries for 20 plus years so I am well acquainted with the legal process of litigation. Mr. Schmerler's methods are extremely unorthodox and ineffective! First he attempted to settle my case with the defendant before he even filed a complaint. Then he filed my complaint is the wrong court claiming a phony explanation of process. I had to correct his understanding of the history and events of my claim 5 or 6 times and even then he filed the complaint with multiple serious errors. He litigated at will with no accountability at a Turtle pace failing to respond to motions on time and when the defendants refused to answer interrogatories he refused to contest claiming their responses were irrelevant. It took him 4 months to file my complaint and another six months to get the defendants served. He neglected due process in excess of two years and when I learned that my complaint had been filed inappropriately in Federal Court my statute of limitation had expired. When I challenged his irresponsible performance he resigned and filed a motion to withdraw with me contesting loudly, I contested so loudly the Judge held a hearing to examine the issue. Mr. Schmerler's testimony during that hearing was a pathetic string of lies and denials. Ultimately I was left without legal counsel to fend for myself. I shared my case with over 30 highly acclaimed personal injury attorneys in Austin in search of substitute counsel and was denied representation by every one of them due to the procedural errors Mr. Schmerler perpetrated in my case. My professional and personal opinion of Mr. Schmerler could not be more critical. He is incompetent, arrogant, unprofessional, unethical, and irresponsible. He should be sanctioned for his negligence, that is a matter before the Texas State Bar.

I decided I wanted to meet with him in person eventhough I was given the option to discuss my case over the phone. Not having any experience in how the justice system works, i thought it would be important for Mr Hunsberger to hear my take on the situation, a traffic violation. So not necessary, he knows the system inside and out. He quickly summed up to a tee, how it works, what was going to happen, and that I didn't even have to go to court. He would take care of all that. And boy did he. Two of the charges were dropped and the 3rd one required a fee... and after a small waiting period with no violations, the 3rd charge would never hit my driving record. Everything he said was accurate. His fees are reasonable. Mr Hunsberger is as honest and upright as they get. A good person to represent your interests. btw, I found Mr Hunsberger via Yelp. I felt comfortable with the reviews posted. I especially liked his office location. I didn't have to go downtown. A wise choice.
