CALL AT YOUR OWN RISK CONSULTATION IS NOT FREE. I initially contacted this law firm after a car accident, seeking advice and a free consultation. During the process, I was asked to sign several documents, including one that unknowingly gave them the right to represent me and take 35% of my settlement. I did not realize this until one of there attorneys call me saying they were representing me. I immediately rejected representation and let him know that I never wanted to be represented. Can you believe that this lawyer tried to manipulate me into signing my settlement so that they could get a portion? He sent me the letter of non-representation that I requested from the first phone call when I told him I didn't want to be represented. The letter stated that they would retain there 35% in the case, so I call him and asked why would they get anything if they literally did no work, he tried to say that it would only be the case if I got a new lawyer and to go ahead and sign the settlement on my own and send it to them to confirm I settled on my own. I went ahead and did but I didn't sign the offer and of course they flipped it and said no we will actually take the 35%. He tried to manipulate me into trying to sign that document so they could get a portion of my settlement for NO WORK DONE. They then stopped accepting my calls and responding to my emails. This has been a frustrating experience, and I would caution others to read all documents carefully before signing and be wary of unexpected fees. It is extremely clear that upper management is only focused on money, they ARE NOT looking out for anyone.
