However, I had David Gross at first whom I never met.
I was in a large uncomfortable boot for 8 months after falling, and then had to from have surgery on 3 fractures in my foot, and one that couldn't be operated on.
I also had damage to my discs in my neck and back which could not be fixed.
I had to have a pain management doctor which I went though 20 epidurals up and down my back to help relieve some of my pain in those areas.
I NEVER met David OR my trial attorney, Sharon, in the almost the 5 years of my case.
iNFACT, I never MET ANYONE from that firm in the 5 years.
I just saw a gentlemen in the very beginning that came to my house and agreed to take my case.
It was settled by them without giving me a chance to have a trial or not, and I NEVER GOT A BREAKDOWN OF THEIR EXPENSES.
I ended up getting less than $18,000.00 FOR EACH YEAR OF SEVERE PAIN.
I was told my insurance company took out $20,000.00 for all the expenses they put out during my PAINFUL procedures.
I still am in as much pain as I was in the beginning, and will be left in pain for the rest of my life.
I am very thankful to my team of attorneys who worked on my case including David Akerib, Esq. and Nancy Morgan. I found Nancy Morgan to be an awesome attorney.
I'll be honest. In the first 2-3 months, I felt like I was a real person, NOT a number. My attorney seemed genuinely interested in my well being and my case. After about four months, the interest sharply dropped. My calls were hardy returned. I experienced attitude with the staff. I decided to stick it out but after months of disinterest in my case, I decided to switch.
I later learned that my trusted doctor had a 'working relationship' with the attorney and received perks for the referral. That attorney was not actually assigned to the case and only checked in to make sure the referral was secure.
Very upset and feel used.
It gets worse. My assigned attorney was wonderful but literally in another office over an hour away. My case manager was in a different office across the river. Meeting with my manager seemed to be an enormous task met with a not so pleasant attitude. I felt like she wanted me off the phone. It truly ruined my experience and will never recommend this firm in the future. I was convinced that my calling them seemed to only disturb them despite the lack of communication....
I decided to take my concerns to the partner of the firm and was assured my case was 'moving well' and 'on track' despite the delays and breakdown in distance in the members of the team.
A genuine law firm needs to have a cohesive working team that will take the time to go the extra step and be passionate for the well being of their clientele. I can honestly say here that this not only failed my expectations, it failed the expectations of friends and family.
Please do yourself a favor and do your research and importantly read the fine print in the retainer. While this firm also boasts a 33% fee, it subs work out through another company (owned by the firm) for additional fees.
Thanks for reading.
