This company handled a slip and fall lawsuit for me. They were supposed to pay all the doctor's and take care of all correspondence from the doctor's and their lawyers. I had gotten a notice to go to court.
My lawyer, Eric Lentz said he would take care of it. When it came time to go to court for my case, he pretty much told me that we should settle for next to nothing. At that time I was tired of all the running to his office and waiting hours on end for him to show up, usually an hour or more late. I was upset at all the accusations that I was lieing about how I fell and how much pain I was still in.
All I wanted to do was get it over with, so I went with Eric's suggestion to settle. I felt as long as the doctor's were being paid and off my back that was good enough. Well, he didn't pay one of the doctor's, nor did he go to court for this doctor as he said he would take care of it as I mentioned earlier.
Now not only do I have a judgement against me I have to pay nearly $800.00 for a bill that was only $450.00 to begin with. I tried to speak to his boss Mr. Grabler about it because I was told by another lawyer that I could take him to small claims court for the difference.
His boss said go right ahead and that I was lucky that they even took the case. I didn't because it would cost me that much in time lost from work and much more in aggravation and there is nothing I can do about the judgement now anyway. Well I don't think I was lucky. They were though. They made out like bandits on my injury and all I got was a judgement and a wage garnish. So do yourself a favor and look for anyother lawyer but them.
