To anyone who is considering using morgan and morgan for a lawsuit involving and accident i warn you to be careful for they say in thier contract they will take 40 percent of the winnings of the lawsuit when in reality they will end up with about 90 percent of your winnings for they add on all kinds of fees and other charges they don't tell you about in the beginning, if you need a lawyer for a lawsuit find one that will fight for what is yours and you get 100 percent of the winnings and if the lawyer is good and ethical he will get paid his fee's on top of that and not out of the money you have won in the lawsuit, check around ther are many lawyers who work this way not like the crooks like morgan and morgan who are only out to line thier pockets and take what is rightfully yours when you are the one who suffered and the money belongs to you not whatever trump charges morgan and morgan use to take your money trust me for i know from experiance where they won the lawsuit for me and ended up with 90 percent of the funds that should have been mine remember any good lawyer or lawfirm who believes in themselves will not take thier fee's out of your earnings so do your homework and don't hire crooks like morgan and morgan!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Yeah they're just money hungry boy you're draining insurance and yaking them to the cleaners. Dont ise them
Yes, I was taken by Morgan & Morgan also. They are crooks, don't trust them. I had a law suit with them. I went through 3 paralegals I never seen my lawyer until the deposition. I had asked to talk to my lawyer before that but I was told I couldn't talk to him. I was even sent to my deposition at the wrong time. Before my court date they said it was best for me to settle out of court. I did! I got less then I expected and then Morgan & Morgan law firm took most of the money. The chiropractor they sent me to charged me $10, 000 for a little massages. I asked for the VAX-D treatments but they told me that my PIP was all used up. A guy slammed in the back of me. It has cost me my job. They told me that I would have to pay for the VAX-D treatments myself. No, the person who wasn't paying attention to his driving should pay not me. These lawyers are crooks, scams, lairs, & jerks. I still have a lot of trouble with my back & neck. They should not be able to take people like this. They have been turned over to the State Attorney's I was told. Get a better lawyer do not be taken by Morgan & Morgan.
It is alway's a battle for me when I try to post my story, like i'mtiredofwaitingformorgan. The fact is they took my case & if they could not reach a settlement they would take the hospital to court!. They breached the contract they had my case for 5 months they knew the "Statue Of Limitations" would expire in 6 months & they dropped it. No other lawyer in Georgia would take the case so I despise lawyers now. I can no longer sue to recover my damages that is what morgan and morgan was suppose to do or take them to court. I had medical evidence to prove my injuries & even the hospitals own ER doctor agreed with me & put injuries, due from assault!. That is the reason why they took my case! I now believe the only reason they took it was to wait until 6 months before the Statue of Limitations ran out so the hospital could win & not pay me any settlement!. I did get approve for my social security benefits & had to retire early because of what was done to me. It wasn't fair how I was treated! by morgan and morgan!.
If you have a Workers Comp Case FOR SURE DO NOT SIGN WITH THEM. They only are interested in a settlement while you pray week after week for a check from the Workers Comp Insurance Co...it'll never come.
I begged, pleaded via phone calls, emails etc I got more bs excuses. It took almost a year for them to finally file a Petition for Benefits. He told me not to have the surgery I'd get more money. I wasn't in it for the money! Meanwhile I could have lost my house, car etc if my family had not helped me.
Use Rue & Ziffra, I've heard they're great.
I called Morgan and Morgan exactly three weeks ago for representation for my disabled son for Social Security Disability. The girl that answered the phone asked a few questions and said they would get back to me. When I pressed her on how long that would take she said 1-2 weeks, that it is being sent for review by the M&M review team. My son has been denied Disability, so we are looking at an appeals deadline that has to be made. I have called M&M several times, always would get this girl's voice mail. Only one time did she return my call, and then said that it was still under review. I asked her how it could possibly take that long, that we have an appeal deadline to make, and she said they only one person doing the reviews and she didn't really know how much longer, what? Their TV ads are so convincing -- don't fall for it! I finally wised up and called a local attorney and got a call back in less than an hour! This attorney is already getting the ball rolling. Morgan and Morgan - you're fired!
Pissedoff20112012: I know nothing about Morgan and Morgan but I don't trust ANY attorney. Still, your rants make you sound like an ignorant man. Some of the things you say could not possibly be true and thus they detract from your argument.
Morgan & Morgan represents the biggest hospitals and insurers. They are a fraud. I've tried to get their support on 2 cases and in both cases they represented the 2 hospitals whom are the most destructive in Florida. John Morgan and family are flat out liers and frauds
I'll never use Morgan & Morgan for how they treated me. They work for the other side & they help them win they don't have peoples best interest at heart all they care about is the money. Their office supervisor seth influenced my attorney in dropping my case because he was very rude to me when I was asking a question & hanging up on me then my case was dropped!. This was the Atlanta Ga office. I feel insulted betrayed & let down I warn people do not use this law firm. My case is messed up & the other side will continue to cause injustices to people as long Morgan & Morgan are in the picture!.
I am unemployed for life due to this injury & Morgan & Morgan has made my situation worse. Don't fall for their t.v. commerical's the same goes for KN! they will screw you over in a heart beat & don't listen to the positive comments.They are just paid to come on here to say good stuff about them.
Morgan & Morgan had my case for 5 months & during that time they didn't do jack!. They knew the statue of limitations would run out In 6 months & they dropped my case my attorney from Morgan & Morgan was Reynold pitts from the Atlanta office. There office supervisor Seth was a ### I had asked him some questions & he hung the phone up on me! I'm sure he had a lot to do with why my case was dropped!. No other attorney would take my case because it was 6 months before the statue of limitations would expire they did this on purpose!. Its past the 2 year mark now I am unable to recover damages from the hospital.
The good part is I did not approved for my Social Security & I am getting 2 years of back payments totaling $21, 000. If you need a good Social Security law firm contact "Stiller Law firm". There web address is www.mbstiller.com/ they got me approved. Do not use Morgan & Morgan for no legal problem you are faced with they will let the other side win because they work for the other side who you are suing. My attorney from Morgan & Morgan got very ugly towards me for no reason & he said on his profile that "It would be his pleasure to help injured people he didn't help me get jack ### just heartace & more misery & the other side laughing because they got away with denying me compensation & treating my injuries, for which has caused me to be "UNEMPLOYED FOR LIFE!.
Really wish I had read reviews before hiring these people! Today at 2:00 I have a hearing for disability, it has been nearly 2 years since I applied. I have been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for 14 years and can no longer work. The system has put me through the ringer for the past 2 years trying to get disability and now my hearing is today haven't heard from Morgan & Morgan, don't know what time they want me to meet them or if they are even going to show up! I am a mess and can't stop crying don't know what I will do if I get denied and Morgan and Morgan are MIA..called last week because I was nervous about not hearing from someone they told me the lawyer would contact me the day before hearing to go over everything. Yesterday came and went no call, tried to call the office just answering machine left message, no call, called this morning so far nothing...it is currently 10:50 and hearing is scheduled to start at 2:00! I am so scared and mad...if they don't show up I will have to do it by myself I waited nearly a year for the hearing! Bet they will still try to take a chunk of my money!

If you're here, then I'm going to assume that you're either considering hiring Morgan & Morgan or it's because you've already hired them and you're starting to become concerned with how your case is being handled. My suggestion to you, is this... if you're thinking about hiring them; DON'T! And if you've already hired them; FIRE THEM!
These guys are nothing but crooks, who treat their clients like dirt. You're looked at as a case number and dollar sign. That's it! They're bad at returning phone calls(but charge you for listening to all the voicemails you leave)...they can't answer even the most simplest of questions(but charge you $70 for every 15min they're on the phone w/ you)... they don't respond to emails (but charge you for reading them)... And, if and when you finally get the opportunity to actually speak with your attorney, he will more than likely know NOTHING about your case (but they'll be quick to to take AT LEAST 50% of your settlement). They make promises they can't keep. They'll wait 'til the very last minute to start preparing their case... I could go on forever...
And God forbid you start complaining about anything. Then they seem to fall off the face of the earth and all communication stops.
Do yourself a favor and call anyone else to represent you. And if you've already made the mistake of hiring them; either fire them, or monitor and review anything they do and make them work for the money they'll soon be stealing from you.
Morgan & Morgan agreed to take my case 10/2011. I live In Alabama so I contacted their Georgia office. My only regret is not coming to this site to check on them, they agreed to help sue the hospital who caused my injuries they sent their investigator to my home we went over everything my medical records & they agreed to take the case. For 5 months morgan and morgan had my case I hardly ever spoke with them on the phone. I never spoken with the lawyer who was assigned to my case only his paralegal, then around 02/2012 morgan & morgan dropped my case. The new the statue of limitations would expire in 6 months on 11/30/2012. No other lawyer would then take my case because of the statue of limitation so there for the hospital gets away not compensating me for my injuries & their not going to be held accountable & I will never get justice. Morgan & Morgan & all attorneys do is screw & ruin peoples lives. I didn't get nothing out of this but misery!.
I strongly agree with everyone on here they dont work for the people vut for them selfs my mom had a horrible accident with the hospital and we called morgan & morgan and she spoke with the "investigator" and signed the contract or what ever and a few weeks later she got the letter saying they couldnt work with her case, and earlier that day she had spoken to the secretary and they told her that her case was already in proces, they gave my mom false information, and now they wont give me the file with everything they did on the case and they are SALE OUTS. DONT TRUST THEM. And now its even harder to find a lawyer to help me with my moms case...
That should be "client cost clerk" in my last post, not "client cost client"
@Pinellas County Resident
In the early 90s I worked for a major west coast law firm. I was a client cost client. I maintained the computer systems for those phone call, fax, and copy fees. Phone calls were billed at the attorneys hourly fee, with a 15 minute minimum. Because the time wasn't in court, it is considered a "cost", not a "fee". In addition, if the call/fax itself cost anything, such as long distance, this is also added in. Most of the attorneys billed @ $200-$300/Hour BACK THEN. So even if you had a 3 minute chat with your attorney, you are looking at a $75 charge, plus any actual phone fees. Copies were billed @ $1 PER PAGE BACK THEN. A clerk could not start the copy machine without entering a case number into the copy machine. Basically, it sounds like nothing has changed except I'd bet some of the prices have gone up. Whatever attorney you do business with, be sure to address and understand all costs involved. These aren't obscure numbers they don't know, it's bread & butter. If they dodge the issue, beware.
@ Miss Dissapointed
I believe it's common for defendants of a law suit to make low-ball offers throughout the various stages of a lawsuit - this is the way it's done. Just say no, stick to your guns. Your mom should come up with a number that is the lowest she will accept without going to verdict.
omg!What a nightmare!...My moms personal injury case has been going on for 2 and a half years now...first they sent a letter saying we were going to settle and get 40k, , , and in 30 to 45 days we would have the check..Well no check came..When we called them they said it had to go to court...Mind you they never notified us of this..WE called THEM...ok..great its going to court...this was a year ago...so it still hasnt..then the lawyer calls personally and says...great news!...he is getting us 100k!...Awesome!..this was 2 months ago...so..a few days ago and calls again...the insurance wants to settle for 20k...What the hell !...She broke her hip from concrete that wasnt poured into the street right ..and can barely walk now..and the best they can get her is 20k? what happened to the 100 k?...if all she gets is 20k..by the time morgan takes their share and pay for the doctors bills...what does she recieve?$1000?thats all for 2 and a half years of work and waiting?...Now it seems so dissapointing and a total waste of time to have even bothered!...I thought they were supposed to fight for the common person and get them a fair amount for the pain and suffering they incurred from an accident...Guess not !
For anyone out there needing an attorney here is this advice: DO NOT CALL MORGAN & MORGAN. My experience was that they took more than it belonged to them in the lawsuit. Morgan & Morgan was very unfair in their fees, their customer service was extremely poor (apparently they have piles upon piles of cases and couldn't care less for your concerns), they charge for every single copy, fax or call. They charge you for 'records retention, postage expenses, 'interest' charges on top of that and many other such fees; and all of these charges are top of their attorney's fees! We are telling everyone that needs a lawyer DO NOT CALL MORGAN&MORGAN or you might get billed for that very same call. We felt we were cheated, mistreated and taken advantage of from these attorneys. Good luck to you!
Please don't use Morgan and Morgan they never return phones, nor do they follow up call on your case. It been over a year for our case. I have began to question are with the insurance company against me. Please be careful because they are not for the people.
I just finished sending out my signed release to Morgan and Morgan, it seems as though they were able to only get me 7 grand and of that 7 grand they take 3k, plus a bunch of charges I know they didn't perform for me, a stamp cost over 7 dollars? I NEVER talked to an attorney even though the investigator told me John Morgan would call me. That never happened. I was skeptical even calling this firm, but I still did it. So anyway I notice at the very bottom of the release, it shows "0" So that means I get nothing! wtf? and now when I email that paralegal she doesn't return any emails but it shows that she did open it. Now when They were trying to get a hold of me to sigh that release, they couldn't stop emailing or calling me. CROOKS!
well I was going to call Morgan and Morgan. But I do believe you all have saved me thousands.
I will go ahead and continue to look for another firm. Thanks to all! For your info
I have much experience in law and attorneys. I have never experienced to poor customer service and lies as I have in dealing with them. A free consultation should be with an attorney, not a consultant. The fact that they say a free first consultation is a blatant lie. They strongly led me to believe they would take my case. I called every week to get a response and finally three weeks later I was greater by an administrator who read a screen saying they would not take the case. No explanations or reasons. Now I must go to another law office to see if I have a viable case. They wasted three weeks of my time and I do not know anything. I would expect they would not make enough. For The People! Ha. Don't waste your time. I spit on John Morgan and all his annoying ads. Leave us alone you bottom feeder!
I currently have a suit against the horrible insurance company State Farm. I am hoping and praying that my M &M attorney is not in cahoots with this company and represents me with vigor in court. I regret that I didn't read these comments before hiring them because now I'm very nervous especially since the attorney tried to convince me to accept the ins. co.'s lousy settlement which I declined.
How do you know when morgan & morgan are liying? When they move there lips.

They are a snakepit of blood sucking vipers, with a huge lack of morals, integrity, or conscience. They certainly are 'FOR THE PEOPLE'
what people is what theyre confusing us about. We the clients are not the people they are for, thats for sure. Let us not be much bothered by them, while they come on as such concerned humanitarians. They help to teach us well lessons learned like, 'There is no honor amoungst [censored]s, chralitons, and theives' they have done an excellent job of showing us who and what they are.Ultimately they will all pay a hefty price for using people and making fools of them. Karma comes back and with an ugly vengence, so no matter how much money, prestige, or whatever they think theyre rewards for abusing us everyday suckers are. they will eventually pay. By the laws and justice of the hand of GOD, THEY WILL HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES, to lay on theyre sick beds and suffer, to drown in theyre on waste and vomit, and no help will be their for them, no one will feel sorry, they will get what they deserve, and with it a long chance to remember and reflect and wish they could go back and fix it. but its not coming keep making your bed in hell, it is being well earned, BY YOU THE PEOPLE, MORGAN AND MORGAN, SCRIBES AND PHRARISEES, you should be called SICK, SAD, AND SORRY, because thats who you are, DOGGISH PIMPS IN THE NAME OF THE LAW, but theyre is a lawyer who has our backs, so yall just be ready for yalls judgement and sentencing, thats one you aint equipped to make a fool of you dogswill choke on your on vomit because you dont have a clue, but you will.
Well Morgan and Morgan & Reynold Pitts wasted 5 months of my time knowing the statue of limitations would expire only year. So you need to stop accusing people of being money hungry. Morgan & Morgan are for the ### their is no "JUSTICE". I never once got a phone call just post cards in the mail asking was i able to speak with my attorney. It seems the lawyers for Morgan & Morgan are the money hungry dirt bags. I didn't get compensated for my pain and suffering only more misery.
Don't work for them. I am a VERY satisfied client.
harleyd,
I think you forgot many points in your defense of this ### law firm. Everyone does not expect for attorneys to work for free, but they do expect to be treated with a certain level of respect. After signing a CONTRACT pretty much blind, people expect a call within a reasonable amount of time, not one month later or longer. These so called INVESTIGATORS paint a very happy picture and make promises that clients will hear back soon. SOON does not mean a month later. People depend on an attorney's actions to perhaps save their jobs or know what the hell is going on. THIS FIRM charges a lot of money for out of pocket expenses that include a 1.5% interest rate per month and that is NOT common practice amongst all firms. Your first and second contacts are NOT ATTORNEYS, like you said. Under any client's rights document, it states you have the RIGHT to speak to an attorney and not some paralegal or investigator. A paralegal cannot answer important LEGAL questions a person may have, and it seems its just another excuse for them not to speak to clients. As far as expenses are concerned, anything the attorney does in terms of driving to go see a client, like you said, is charged to that client at the end of their lawsuit. They are not doing it for free nor are they paying out of their own pocket. This is what happens when firms grow too big, they lose sight of the client, the most important part of the business.
You obviously work for these people and you are part of the problem. Do some research and you will not find the same negativity against other firms in Florida. Where there's smoke, there's fire. You should spend more time thinking about the legitimate claims working people have instead of accusing everyone of being money hungry lawsuit degenerates.
First off, anyone that has never been in the legal field has NO CLUE what goes on behind the scenes of a lawfirm. Especially one as big as Morgan & Morgan. If you hire an attorney, ANY attorney, if YOU make money, THEY make money. The more YOU make, the more THEY make. So, attorneys have absolutely no interest in busting hump for months (or years) and then turning a case down. Not after they have spent their time working on it, and used the firm's money to pay for the expenses associated with the case.
When you call Morgan & Morgan, you speak with a claims coordinator. THEY ARE NOT ATTORNEYS! They have no capabilities to tell you whether you have a case or not, what your rights are, or answer your legal questions. They simply take the information to be screened by attorneys to see whether or not the case is worth pursuing. If so, they send an investigator to your house. Again, this is an INVESTIGATOR... not an ATTORNEY. They cannot answer legal questions either. Once the initial paperwork is completed, it is returned to the home office of Morgan & Morgan and reviewed and assigned to an attorney. The attorney makes the initial review of the case and decides, in his opinion, if it is worth pursuing (financially and ethically). For instance, if someone tripped over their own shoelaces at walmart, it isn't a good case. Not WalMart's fault. But, sue-happy people will try it anyway, and get pissed when the case is turned down. If, upon the initial attorney review, the case is meritorious, they will proceed with the intial paperwork. I will use a car accident as an example. First off, you have to have the accident report (most plaintiff's only have the vehicle exchange paperwork). This won't work. You have to have the actual Uniform Crash Report. This tells who was at fault, who has insurance and who doesnt, etc. Now, bear in mind, the lawfirm has to pay for the accident report... Here is where some liars are exposed... if someone turns infront of you, you would think that they were at fault, right? Well, not if you were driving 70 mph in a 35 mph zone. So, there are many times when the truth comes out that the person who hired the firm are actually at fault. In this instance, as stated in the contract initially signed, the attorney will turn the case down, as there is absolutely no way to win a case when the person you represent was at fault and you are footing the bill. So, now lets back up and say that there is clear liability on the part of the other driver according to the UCR. Well, now the initial letters have to be sent to any and all parties involved. Defendant driver, his/her insurance company, the client's insurance company if there is UM/UIM coverage. And the client is going to get copies of all of these letters... these all cost the firm money, by the way. Once insurance coverage is established, the firm will have to know how much money to demand on a case, and that has to be determined by gathering all of the medical records and bills. If there is health insurance/ Medicare/ Medicaid, etc., and they have paid any money on the medical bills, there will be a LIEN! They deserve to get their money back if it is determined they paid your bills when someone else is at fault. Welcome to the U.S. Government. Oh, and lets not forget that the majority of medical facilities charge PER PAGE for copies of medical records... another bill footed by the lawfirm. Lets say now, that the client has ten years worth of back problems prior to this accident... can't really claim that as related, right? Doesn't stop people from trying, I assure you. So, if the medical records show nothing but pre-existing conditions, the firm is going to turn the case down and eat the expenses associated with the case. Lets skip ahead and say that this is a good case with actual compensible damages... a demand is made to the insurance company and they won't agree to pay... Lets file a lawsuit! There is a filing fee associated with filing a complaint, by the way. Guess who pays that initially... yep! The firm! Lets go even further and say that depositions are taken. See where I am going with this? Those cost money, too. And, if your attorney is being nice and coming to you, he has to use his personal vehicle and his own gas to get there. So, who is paying for that? The attorney. I am going to stop here, because I can keep going with this. My point is this; there are no BOGUS charges that the attorney or the lawfirm makes up in order to take your money. Every DIME that they take out of your settlement money is CLEARLY outlined in your closing statement. And, the closing statement goes back to the initial contract that was signed, which states the percentages paid out of settlement in different stages of litigation (i.e. 33 1/3% if suit not filed; 40% if suit is filed; 50% if the case goes to trial). And, when their are liens to be paid, that is paying THE CLIENT'S medical bills, which have actually been negotiated down for them! This isn't the attorneys taking the money. It isn't the doctor's taking the money. It is bills that the client actually owes! So, basically, it is the client's money, but the firm is using a portion to pay the client's medical bills. Next issue is never talking to the attorney. Well, let me tell you this, the attorneys at Morgan & Morgan handle 200+ cases EACH! That is why the Paralegal is the main point of contact. That and the fact of THAT IS THEIR JOB! THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE HIRED FOR! If your attorney took the time to call each and every one of his client every single time that they called, he would never have time to work on YOUR case! He would spend all of his time on the freaking phone. And the majority of the clients that they get are greedy, crooked, money-hungry, cheats, liars, fakes and frauds. Would you rather your attorney spend an hour on the phone talking to these types of people, or spending his/her time actually working and making progress on YOUR legitimate case? It disgusts me to read some of the comments on this site, for the simple fact that no one understand just what they are talking about. And anyone that says that the firm gets THEIR money is exactly the type of person that I just referenced. You all posting on this site are just a drop in the bucket compared to the number of successful, satisfied clients that this firm has. This firm is the largest Plaintiff's firm in the country! How dare you presume you know what type of work goes into these cases, or to imply that they stole anything from you.
Talk about a VULTURE organization and you have Morgan and Morgan who suck the blood from your veins for a sport. Most UNETHICAL bunch of idiots, I have ever come across in my life time. A very dysfunctional organizations that is only concerned with the almighty dollar which they worship like pagans. They abuse people and take advantage of the most vulnerable similar to how sexual predators prey on their victims. The Firm has a terrible reputation in the legal community as lazy buzzards looking for the easy bucks. They will sell you down the river for a quick settlement rather than take a case to trial. They are considered an embarrassment to the legal profession. The are no class rich phoneys with no manners. The sons are the biggest joke of the office. Stay away from this two bit organization and next time you see their cheap commercials throw some hot chicken wings at the television. May they reap what they sow and hope they get sued into pig pens !
what is 10, 000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?-----a good start! of course they are all crooks, be careful
I just got done with a Morgan &Morgan attorney he was just an incompetent ###,
He represented my mother in law in an mediation proceding, My wife was also a party to the mediation, I was told my M&M lawyer that the opposing lawyers that I be excluded from the event, so I sat on lobby and watched through the glass, I was told I can come in after open statements, I check Floridas statue on mediation and as I understand it, my mother inlaw could name party members, I am so pissed right now wide and I are fighting big time over this, can any body tell me for certain about voluntary mediation?
Morgan & Morgan is in the ORLANDO SENTINEL today MAY 27th, 2012. They are mixed up in a fraud case along with a surgeon from brevard county. Its a big article and I recommend you read it. It was exposed by a former employee of the so called "For The People" attorneys. Its not surprising considering their history of complaints. ALL EMPIRES FALL!
Morgan & Morgan is just a greedy law firm. They agree to take your case then a few months later they take themselves off. They wait until the statue of limitations are about to expire before they drop your case. Then no other lawyer will take your case because of the statue of limitations. They could had told me 5 months ago they wasn't going to help me. I could had gotten another lawyer but know they are only 9 months left until the statue of limitations are about to expire. I did not appreciate them making me think they was working on my case for the last 5 months then all of a sudden they quit, something isn't right. I will get to the bottom of it when i file a complaint with the Georgia Bar.
I just would like to know why Morgan & Morgan agreed to take my case, then drop it. And this is a warning to anyone considering them do not do it!. They will just drop your case & make up any excuse not to help you anymore & let the other side "WIN". You have been "Warned" trust me i chose to ignore all the complaints because i really thought they would help me & i got burned big time. I feel for their bill board & t.v. ads that they are for the people. They will just drag your case until the statue of limitations expire. They do it on purpose then they have the nerve to tell you that in their letter when they send out saying their not your lawyer anymore to hurry up & get a new lawyer, or else your screwed. They don't say screw they say you only have so much time or it will be for ever barred & you can never claim compensation. Lawyers really think they have the system played out. They will help the other side "WIN".
If Reynolds Pitts doesn't like because i told him off tough ###. He should not had wasted my time for the last 5 months for him only to decide not to proceed with it. That only makes me believe more that he is in cahoots with the other side since he used to defend the insurance companies for over 20 years. Morgan & Morgan lets the other side get away with the injustices they have caused you & doesn't recover your damages. The other Georgia Attorney's are the same way. They are doing more harm to people then good.
