Suddarth & Koor was to issue a first settlement installment to Plaintiff on a given date agreed to in Court. That date passed and after being ten (10) days late, the Plaintiff's attorney contacted Suddarth & Koor to follow-up on payment. Suddarth & Koor's response was that they had they had "forgotten" to issue/mail the payment. [*They had forgotten... When, in fact, their client provided them with payment thirty plus (30) days 'prior' to the due date Plaintiff was to receive Defendant's settlement payment. ] Hmmm... Seems their client could have kept the funds in an account accumulating interest... Next, Suddarth & Koor was notified six (6) days prior to the 2nd/final installment due date that the Plaintiff would travel to their office to collect the final installment (to avoid a chance of repeated forgetfulness). Suddarth & Koor did not respond. Plaintiff phoned Suddarth & Koor, to reconfirm the pick-up date (speaking to Linda) of the final installment payment — three (3) days prior to the due date. Suddarth & Koor never advised of their disagreement to such (even after Plaintiff left a number with Linda and e-mailed Suddarth & Koor the date of pick-up).instead, they mailed to the check to Plaintiff's lawyer... Looks like pretty poor business practice, not to mention sitting on their client's funds for a month and forgetting to pay. So, consider this before you contact them to represent you. [Attorney names: Jerry Suddarth, Andrew Koor, Christine Freeman]
