Client
My experience with Kinnard Law, and specifically with Patrick Thurman, was extremely disappointing and frustrating. I felt consistently pressured into accepting a settlement that was far below the fair value of my case, and despite voicing my concerns, I was left feeling unheard and dismissed. I requested help from Mr. Kinnard himself with little to no aid- and ultimately dismissing me and blaming their irresponsible and irrational behavior on myself. Communication was minimal, transparency was lacking, and I often felt misled about the direction and handling of my claim. What should have been a supportive legal process turned into a situation where I felt coerced, rushed, and ultimately let down by the very people who were supposed to advocate for me. I have an everlasting trauma from my accident; and, was forced to take a settlement due to their lack of preparation for future litigation. The settlement was 75% less than the proposed and RECORDED "promise" they pushed for in a demand (which took 2 years to send to the opposing defense). My case took a little over 3 years when we didn't even go to trial or court proceedings. I was pushed off into a corner out of sheer hatred and ignorance from Patrick and Holly. In addition, I found their behavior to be unnecessarily invasive and unprofessional at times, adding unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. I expected integrity and client-centered representation, but that is not what I received. They were blatantly discriminatory with language and I will be filing a grievance due to the emotional trauma they caused me. I would caution anyone considering this firm to carefully review their case handling practices and make sure they are comfortable with how decisions are made before signing anything.
