I would NOT recommend this firm to ANYONE. They do not respond in a timely manner at all. It took over a year from the date I personally filed paperwork in the courthouse for me to get an actual court date. I had to keep calling every week asking why there had been no movement. I originally talked to Howard Shapiro, then he apparently handed my case off to Lisa Jones. Both are incompetent at what they do and did not communicate with one another. Howard told me one thing while Lisa told me the opposite. Very annoying to have to deal with. Had to have a mediation set up, Howard did not even show up, nor did Lisa. Instead they sent another attorney who had absolutely no clue about my case. I did actually like what she did for me and she actually looked and sounded like she knew what she was doing (Lindsey was her name). When medication did not work, we went to court. Howard showed up, got handed a 4 inch binder full of "evidence" from the opposing attorney, flipped through it for about 10 seconds then handed it to the judge and said it was fine. During the trial (which was in march), Howard kept objecting to the material that was in the binder that he himself had said was fine. The judge kept saying, "You omitted this" and his reply, "Well I did not read through the whole damn thing". I was to receive an hour for my side and he spent 33 minutes of it and left 27 minutes on the clock. Howard gave up halfway through the trial and it showed. Unprepared, did not know the name of people in the case, not helpful at all, bad communication, etc. After the trial, he tells me, "I would have bet $100 you would have got what you wanted". Was that supposed to make me feel better about the thousands of dollars I just flushed down the toilet? Then he asked me what I was offered in mediation, which was in February, (Clearly showing he had not looked at my case in over a month) and I told him. You know what his response was? "I would have taken that or told you to take that had I been there". All around, I would not wish this firm upon my worst enemies. You would be better off throwing your money in a Ponzi scheme. I cannot express enough how much he was unprepared and just honestly did not care about my case. read more
