David Olan of OlanLaw represented me a personal injury matter. He did absolutely no work on my case and missed several court appearances. Olan filed a form complaint with incorrect facts. He refused to amend the complaint once I told him of the numerous errors. He failed to preserve important evidence, i.E. Videotape. He did not propound any discovery on my case.in fact, I took my file from him and found out that he failed to respond to defendant's discovery which waived my right to objections. He played on his blackberry the entire time I was being deposed and should have objected to many questions that no relevance to the incident. Olan refused to take my case to trial and wanted to take whatever was offered. He gets very angry if you question anything. He has two personalities. He can be extemely nice and polite and then turn into a monster. I could not find another attorney to take over since my case was 30 days to trial and finally found someone on the 11th hour. David Olan never designated an expert for me. You cannot go to trial without an expert. David Olan did not subpoena or do a depositon notice for the person who injured me so that employee disappeared.
Lastly, David Olan had an illegal retainer agreement that stated I could not replace him unless he approved. David Olan is a personal injury attorney yet he has false advertisements on his web-site. Look at his verdicts and settlement and figure out which settlement does not match? I am going to report him to the LA State Bar for misleading advertising. From experience, pay close attention to your case if David Olan is representing you. Be involved. Check your case number on the court's website to make sure he doesn't miss your court hearings. I should have sued Olan for malpractice but I found a hero to take over and jump through hoops to represent me.
