When I initially went to the firm, Tiffany was assigned to my case. Note: She assured me their portion of settlement would not exceed mine. God knows what occurred, but Tiffany was discharged from the firm. I was not notified until MONTHS later when I called to inquire the status and updates pertaining the case. I was met by Myra whom answered the phone. Her demeanor: portraying her carelessness, said, “oh, did you— get the letter?” I responded, “no, what letter?”
And her response, “oh, the letter we sent you.” I say, “no” (at this time I have not received any mail from Matthis law firm). And she responds, “Tiffany is not at this firm anymore and Austin will be picking up your case.” My immediate thought was why haven’t I heard from Austin, or anyone from the firm at the least (they did not bother to notify me verbally while the letter was either never sent or lost all together) and in this time, I began to suspect negligence. I asked that Austin call me asap. I expressed to him how disappointed I was with Myra’s lack of professionalism, concern and decent courtesy each client deserves. He gave me his cell number and said to call him directly from now on. I kept in touch and remained patient for many months before I reached out again to speak to Austin about the neglect surrounding the case - It took and entire year and half to receive a [lousy] PROPERTY settlement. Nearly 2 years now and no payout per medical:
While the entire duration of my rehabilitation(10 months), I was also seeing a chiropractor whom recommended this firm. When it came time to finalize and cap off the treatment, (as I was no longer progressing forward with the adjustments from the chiropractor), he was reluctant to end his treatment and continued to prolong the delivery of the ‘final report’ to Austin that he may make a demand of payment. I am certain we did a ‘final report’ three times or more over several appointments with ‘check up’s’ in between. The coercion that swayed me onto this firm was the statement “We work well with Matthis Law Firm” and considering where we are today, certainly they DO work well together. Almost too well. I was stumped by Austin with a 17.5k settlement. After two years, My portion is 5k.
Total cash amount (including property): $7500
I was rear ended on a motorcycle by an SUV. My 5k bike was totaled and I now suffer from ram’s horn distribution upon the right side on my cranium (where the impact was). My jaw pops louder than one can clap, (this occurs at random when I yawn or chew) while it clicks upon opening and closing. My entire right side from my toes to my head is affected and afflicted with severe pain daily (muscle aches, joint pain, and dull numbness in my neck and back) (and yet 5k seems fair? That’s not even 1/3 of total medical settlement)
Be careful who you do business with.
