@mikerafi: They Settled Without Him #lawyer #law #court #attorney #personalinjurylawyer

AtomXLV :

Getting it in writing it like Lawyer 101

PhillysSurpriseMechanic :

Every person I’ve ever talked to says to stay far far away from M&M.

Earthcrafter :

what law firm does not record all phone calls? literally everyone i have ever called has the standard message saying the call is recorded.

I Am Bobby Hill :

With the invention of email & texting, there is absolutely no reason not to get an authorization in "writing" from a client in a legal case like this; if they have the time & capability to answer a phone call, they can also respond to a text or email. *this only applies to instances where the consent needed does not need to be in actual writing and/or notarized.

suicidebyhorror :

They advertise aggressively on YouTube, which makes me trust them as much I trust Honey (read: I don't)

Christopher Clark :

My wife used them about 18yrs ago and they were terrible then. They didn’t make sure all hospital bills were accounted for before settling and she had to pay some of them out of pocket

Spaghettiantonio :

was a part of a class action through morgan and morgan, spoke to them 4 times over 5 years. Never the same person. But they got me 120k and I was expecting less than 10k 🤷‍♂️

Jackie B :

rare arbitrator W. forced arbitration should be illegal.

TheFriendlyRefAtty :

When I worked PI, we literally had a form where we put the gross settlement amount and minimum net settlement amount for a client on each offer (we had a spreadsheet that could calculate net settlement from numbers on file). We’d call the client with those numbers. If the client wanted to settle, we absolutely could not settle the case until the client had docusigned that form. And, if the net amount came out lower than that form, the associate had to write a check for the difference absent exceptional circumstances. One associate I knew settled a case for way over value on verbal instructions from a client, which instructions were witnessed by other employees, and the firm held an internal trial on the matter. It was the eve of trial, and she couldn’t get the form signed in time. There was video footage. The client was going to get zeroed out. Didn’t matter. The firm still reprimanded her for breaking the firm’s written consent to settle rules.

I_Am_Mr.G :

settlement should never be based on the insurance available. it should be purely based on the loss.

A :

My friend death with them had a terrible experience. We found out that they really don't like to go to trial and they will let the insurance company bully them over. My friend was better taking the first offer from insurance

LampShadeGhost :

So their defense was "Trust me bro"?? 🤣 How did they think that would help them? Everyone in law knows, or is expected to know, you document everything. Constantly get signatures and, if possible, recordings.

🤷 :

Idk

Self Proclaimed Ratking 🏳️‍🌈 :

I don't think I ever heard anything good from them fr

AJ :

Guyg :

chenmeister64 :

I cannot imagine a lawyer not getting something like this in writing!

user28384849292 :

should have also complain to the bar.

michaellynch361 :

Question, can this be bar reviewed? And is it a slap on the wrist but record for any future malpractice?

Jade :

I hired a fantastic lawyer to handle my social security application and god the insane amount of documentation and detailed explanations of what the process was and what everything meant 10/10 hell they flew out an attorney to Alabama from Utah to do the in person hearing with the disability judge and only charged me a bit over 6k for 3 YEARS of work that dude gives lawyers like the one I hired a bad name

avwitcher :

Personal injury firms like those are a genuine plague, and are 50% responsible for absurd insurance rates.
