Representation??
I hired Morgan and Morgan for an accident I had back in 2020. An Attorney by the name of Jon Hawk, was assigned to my case. At first, everything appeared to be going well with the case, we were on one accord regarding the accident and everything it entailed. Then, something seemed odd with the conversations. It seemed that when talking about the case it was as though we were going to go to trial, even though it wasn't what I wanted, however, he was my attorney so I leaned on him as far as what was best for the case. Then, things seemed to spiral down hill to where I could barely reach him, and I understand he had several other cases, yet, I was his client too and was kept out of the loop. Records seemed to come up missing or were not requested, he had paralegals coming and going like a revolving door, and when we had conversations thereafter, sometimes, he didn't know who I was; like he was reassigned to my case after a previous lawyer, when he was the first one. We had an argument about his representation of me regarding the case, and he was arrogant about his ability as a lawyer, like no one was better than him and if I dropped him and went with another lawyer, I wouldn't be represented well and could take my chances if I wanted to. We at some point worked through the messiness, then he left and started his own firm, but never notified me. I didn't find out until another paralegal for another attorney contacted me saying that my case was transferred to another attorney, Laura Maki. I was livid to say the least. How in the heck can you just pass a client around like their case is not important nor them because you don't have the decency to give them a heads up about your case and that they will no longer represent you. I got a letter from Jon Hawk about a year after he passed on my case stating he was no longer representing me. Really??? How dare you? Where are your ethics? Morals?? I expressed my disdain for having been passed around, no heads up and having to start all over again. Needless to say, my medical records and documents were missing yet again. What the what?? Who does this?? Is this how you all operate in this field?? She did get all the records, or so I was told, however, mediation was a bust x's 2. They lowballed me like used gum on the bottom of a shoe in the street. I don't think either of them believed in my case because, it wasn't long after that Ms. Maki decided to leave this firm too. I'm thinking what in the world is truly going on with this firm? Why are these attorney's choosing to leave? She never said a thing to me either about her leaving the firm and yet again, I didn't find out until the 3rd lawyer took my case. This had left a bitter taste in my mouth and at this point, I wanted to cuss, well I did, about the entire ordeal. It's been 4 years and still in litigation. What the what?? So, I'm seeing what this lawyer is doing for me, or what have you. She has done more than the first 2, however, there's some unsettling within me about things I will address with her. I hope, though, that this is the last lawyer I'll have to deal with. I know they want me to give up and settle for little to nothing, but it's about the principle of the matter at this point. If this is suppose to be the best firm ever, I don't see it. They get their cut regardless of what you get and can be more than what you get in the end. How is that? Something needs to change. You can't say you're For The People, and it's obvious to me now that you're For The Firm, first and foremost.
