Everything is someone else's fault or responsibility. He was fired due to incompetence. He did nothing to benefit me these last 10+ years. No medical treatment, no psychiatric treatment. Fact. I was diagnosed with PTSD by Dr. Robyn Shaffer over 15 years ago. Fact. He and his associates never made an effort to return a phone call or make an appointment with me, either in person or over the phone. Fact. Utterly incapable of passings Dr. Horner's recommendations to the insurance company, essentially wasting another 6+ months that could have been spent with my 8 year old son in Mexico. Fact. He alleges to have spent 400 hours, yet no benefit was extended to me in terms of going 1 year without work comp payments, and nothing had come to fruition due to his alleged time spent. Fact. I have to go to the ER once per month just to get my anti anxiety pills. He was unwilling to file any paperwork to get me to any kind of Dr. yet filed paperwork deeming that he deserves $160,000 for his alleged 400 hours of "service". Truly a gutless individual.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
