To anyone who is considering using morgan and morgan for a lawsuit involving and accident i warn you to be careful for they say in thier contract they will take 40 percent of the winnings of the lawsuit when in reality they will end up with about 90 percent of your winnings for they add on all kinds of fees and other charges they don't tell you about in the beginning, if you need a lawyer for a lawsuit find one that will fight for what is yours and you get 100 percent of the winnings and if the lawyer is good and ethical he will get paid his fee's on top of that and not out of the money you have won in the lawsuit, check around ther are many lawyers who work this way not like the crooks like morgan and morgan who are only out to line thier pockets and take what is rightfully yours when you are the one who suffered and the money belongs to you not whatever trump charges morgan and morgan use to take your money trust me for i know from experiance where they won the lawsuit for me and ended up with 90 percent of the funds that should have been mine remember any good lawyer or lawfirm who believes in themselves will not take thier fee's out of your earnings so do your homework and don't hire crooks like morgan and morgan!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just finished sending out my signed release to Morgan and Morgan, it seems as though they were able to only get me 7 grand and of that 7 grand they take 3k, plus a bunch of charges I know they didn't perform for me, a stamp cost over 7 dollars? I NEVER talked to an attorney even though the investigator told me John Morgan would call me. That never happened. I was skeptical even calling this firm, but I still did it. So anyway I notice at the very bottom of the release, it shows "0" So that means I get nothing! wtf? and now when I email that paralegal she doesn't return any emails but it shows that she did open it. Now when They were trying to get a hold of me to sigh that release, they couldn't stop emailing or calling me. CROOKS!
Please don't use Morgan and Morgan they never return phones, nor do they follow up call on your case. It been over a year for our case. I have began to question are with the insurance company against me. Please be careful because they are not for the people.
For anyone out there needing an attorney here is this advice: DO NOT CALL MORGAN & MORGAN. My experience was that they took more than it belonged to them in the lawsuit. Morgan & Morgan was very unfair in their fees, their customer service was extremely poor (apparently they have piles upon piles of cases and couldn't care less for your concerns), they charge for every single copy, fax or call. They charge you for 'records retention, postage expenses, 'interest' charges on top of that and many other such fees; and all of these charges are top of their attorney's fees! We are telling everyone that needs a lawyer DO NOT CALL MORGAN&MORGAN or you might get billed for that very same call. We felt we were cheated, mistreated and taken advantage of from these attorneys. Good luck to you!
omg!What a nightmare!...My moms personal injury case has been going on for 2 and a half years now...first they sent a letter saying we were going to settle and get 40k, , , and in 30 to 45 days we would have the check..Well no check came..When we called them they said it had to go to court...Mind you they never notified us of this..WE called THEM...ok..great its going to court...this was a year ago...so it still hasnt..then the lawyer calls personally and says...great news!...he is getting us 100k!...Awesome!..this was 2 months ago...so..a few days ago and calls again...the insurance wants to settle for 20k...What the hell !...She broke her hip from concrete that wasnt poured into the street right ..and can barely walk now..and the best they can get her is 20k? what happened to the 100 k?...if all she gets is 20k..by the time morgan takes their share and pay for the doctors bills...what does she recieve?$1000?thats all for 2 and a half years of work and waiting?...Now it seems so dissapointing and a total waste of time to have even bothered!...I thought they were supposed to fight for the common person and get them a fair amount for the pain and suffering they incurred from an accident...Guess not !
@ Miss Dissapointed
I believe it's common for defendants of a law suit to make low-ball offers throughout the various stages of a lawsuit - this is the way it's done. Just say no, stick to your guns. Your mom should come up with a number that is the lowest she will accept without going to verdict.
@Pinellas County Resident
In the early 90s I worked for a major west coast law firm. I was a client cost client. I maintained the computer systems for those phone call, fax, and copy fees. Phone calls were billed at the attorneys hourly fee, with a 15 minute minimum. Because the time wasn't in court, it is considered a "cost", not a "fee". In addition, if the call/fax itself cost anything, such as long distance, this is also added in. Most of the attorneys billed @ $200-$300/Hour BACK THEN. So even if you had a 3 minute chat with your attorney, you are looking at a $75 charge, plus any actual phone fees. Copies were billed @ $1 PER PAGE BACK THEN. A clerk could not start the copy machine without entering a case number into the copy machine. Basically, it sounds like nothing has changed except I'd bet some of the prices have gone up. Whatever attorney you do business with, be sure to address and understand all costs involved. These aren't obscure numbers they don't know, it's bread & butter. If they dodge the issue, beware.
That should be "client cost clerk" in my last post, not "client cost client"
I strongly agree with everyone on here they dont work for the people vut for them selfs my mom had a horrible accident with the hospital and we called morgan & morgan and she spoke with the "investigator" and signed the contract or what ever and a few weeks later she got the letter saying they couldnt work with her case, and earlier that day she had spoken to the secretary and they told her that her case was already in proces, they gave my mom false information, and now they wont give me the file with everything they did on the case and they are SALE OUTS. DONT TRUST THEM. And now its even harder to find a lawyer to help me with my moms case...
Morgan & Morgan agreed to take my case 10/2011. I live In Alabama so I contacted their Georgia office. My only regret is not coming to this site to check on them, they agreed to help sue the hospital who caused my injuries they sent their investigator to my home we went over everything my medical records & they agreed to take the case. For 5 months morgan and morgan had my case I hardly ever spoke with them on the phone. I never spoken with the lawyer who was assigned to my case only his paralegal, then around 02/2012 morgan & morgan dropped my case. The new the statue of limitations would expire in 6 months on 11/30/2012. No other lawyer would then take my case because of the statue of limitation so there for the hospital gets away not compensating me for my injuries & their not going to be held accountable & I will never get justice. Morgan & Morgan & all attorneys do is screw & ruin peoples lives. I didn't get nothing out of this but misery!.
If you're here, then I'm going to assume that you're either considering hiring Morgan & Morgan or it's because you've already hired them and you're starting to become concerned with how your case is being handled. My suggestion to you, is this... if you're thinking about hiring them; DON'T! And if you've already hired them; FIRE THEM!
These guys are nothing but crooks, who treat their clients like dirt. You're looked at as a case number and dollar sign. That's it! They're bad at returning phone calls(but charge you for listening to all the voicemails you leave)...they can't answer even the most simplest of questions(but charge you $70 for every 15min they're on the phone w/ you)... they don't respond to emails (but charge you for reading them)... And, if and when you finally get the opportunity to actually speak with your attorney, he will more than likely know NOTHING about your case (but they'll be quick to to take AT LEAST 50% of your settlement). They make promises they can't keep. They'll wait 'til the very last minute to start preparing their case... I could go on forever...
And God forbid you start complaining about anything. Then they seem to fall off the face of the earth and all communication stops.
Do yourself a favor and call anyone else to represent you. And if you've already made the mistake of hiring them; either fire them, or monitor and review anything they do and make them work for the money they'll soon be stealing from you.

Really wish I had read reviews before hiring these people! Today at 2:00 I have a hearing for disability, it has been nearly 2 years since I applied. I have been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for 14 years and can no longer work. The system has put me through the ringer for the past 2 years trying to get disability and now my hearing is today haven't heard from Morgan & Morgan, don't know what time they want me to meet them or if they are even going to show up! I am a mess and can't stop crying don't know what I will do if I get denied and Morgan and Morgan are MIA..called last week because I was nervous about not hearing from someone they told me the lawyer would contact me the day before hearing to go over everything. Yesterday came and went no call, tried to call the office just answering machine left message, no call, called this morning so far nothing...it is currently 10:50 and hearing is scheduled to start at 2:00! I am so scared and mad...if they don't show up I will have to do it by myself I waited nearly a year for the hearing! Bet they will still try to take a chunk of my money!
Morgan & Morgan had my case for 5 months & during that time they didn't do jack!. They knew the statue of limitations would run out In 6 months & they dropped my case my attorney from Morgan & Morgan was Reynold pitts from the Atlanta office. There office supervisor Seth was a ### I had asked him some questions & he hung the phone up on me! I'm sure he had a lot to do with why my case was dropped!. No other attorney would take my case because it was 6 months before the statue of limitations would expire they did this on purpose!. Its past the 2 year mark now I am unable to recover damages from the hospital.
The good part is I did not approved for my Social Security & I am getting 2 years of back payments totaling $21, 000. If you need a good Social Security law firm contact "Stiller Law firm". There web address is www.mbstiller.com/ they got me approved. Do not use Morgan & Morgan for no legal problem you are faced with they will let the other side win because they work for the other side who you are suing. My attorney from Morgan & Morgan got very ugly towards me for no reason & he said on his profile that "It would be his pleasure to help injured people he didn't help me get jack ### just heartace & more misery & the other side laughing because they got away with denying me compensation & treating my injuries, for which has caused me to be "UNEMPLOYED FOR LIFE!.
I am unemployed for life due to this injury & Morgan & Morgan has made my situation worse. Don't fall for their t.v. commerical's the same goes for KN! they will screw you over in a heart beat & don't listen to the positive comments.They are just paid to come on here to say good stuff about them.
I'll never use Morgan & Morgan for how they treated me. They work for the other side & they help them win they don't have peoples best interest at heart all they care about is the money. Their office supervisor seth influenced my attorney in dropping my case because he was very rude to me when I was asking a question & hanging up on me then my case was dropped!. This was the Atlanta Ga office. I feel insulted betrayed & let down I warn people do not use this law firm. My case is messed up & the other side will continue to cause injustices to people as long Morgan & Morgan are in the picture!.
Morgan & Morgan represents the biggest hospitals and insurers. They are a fraud. I've tried to get their support on 2 cases and in both cases they represented the 2 hospitals whom are the most destructive in Florida. John Morgan and family are flat out liers and frauds
Pissedoff20112012: I know nothing about Morgan and Morgan but I don't trust ANY attorney. Still, your rants make you sound like an ignorant man. Some of the things you say could not possibly be true and thus they detract from your argument.
I called Morgan and Morgan exactly three weeks ago for representation for my disabled son for Social Security Disability. The girl that answered the phone asked a few questions and said they would get back to me. When I pressed her on how long that would take she said 1-2 weeks, that it is being sent for review by the M&M review team. My son has been denied Disability, so we are looking at an appeals deadline that has to be made. I have called M&M several times, always would get this girl's voice mail. Only one time did she return my call, and then said that it was still under review. I asked her how it could possibly take that long, that we have an appeal deadline to make, and she said they only one person doing the reviews and she didn't really know how much longer, what? Their TV ads are so convincing -- don't fall for it! I finally wised up and called a local attorney and got a call back in less than an hour! This attorney is already getting the ball rolling. Morgan and Morgan - you're fired!
If you have a Workers Comp Case FOR SURE DO NOT SIGN WITH THEM. They only are interested in a settlement while you pray week after week for a check from the Workers Comp Insurance Co...it'll never come.
I begged, pleaded via phone calls, emails etc I got more bs excuses. It took almost a year for them to finally file a Petition for Benefits. He told me not to have the surgery I'd get more money. I wasn't in it for the money! Meanwhile I could have lost my house, car etc if my family had not helped me.
Use Rue & Ziffra, I've heard they're great.
It is alway's a battle for me when I try to post my story, like i'mtiredofwaitingformorgan. The fact is they took my case & if they could not reach a settlement they would take the hospital to court!. They breached the contract they had my case for 5 months they knew the "Statue Of Limitations" would expire in 6 months & they dropped it. No other lawyer in Georgia would take the case so I despise lawyers now. I can no longer sue to recover my damages that is what morgan and morgan was suppose to do or take them to court. I had medical evidence to prove my injuries & even the hospitals own ER doctor agreed with me & put injuries, due from assault!. That is the reason why they took my case! I now believe the only reason they took it was to wait until 6 months before the Statue of Limitations ran out so the hospital could win & not pay me any settlement!. I did get approve for my social security benefits & had to retire early because of what was done to me. It wasn't fair how I was treated! by morgan and morgan!.
Yes, I was taken by Morgan & Morgan also. They are crooks, don't trust them. I had a law suit with them. I went through 3 paralegals I never seen my lawyer until the deposition. I had asked to talk to my lawyer before that but I was told I couldn't talk to him. I was even sent to my deposition at the wrong time. Before my court date they said it was best for me to settle out of court. I did! I got less then I expected and then Morgan & Morgan law firm took most of the money. The chiropractor they sent me to charged me $10, 000 for a little massages. I asked for the VAX-D treatments but they told me that my PIP was all used up. A guy slammed in the back of me. It has cost me my job. They told me that I would have to pay for the VAX-D treatments myself. No, the person who wasn't paying attention to his driving should pay not me. These lawyers are crooks, scams, lairs, & jerks. I still have a lot of trouble with my back & neck. They should not be able to take people like this. They have been turned over to the State Attorney's I was told. Get a better lawyer do not be taken by Morgan & Morgan.
Yeah they're just money hungry boy you're draining insurance and yaking them to the cleaners. Dont ise them
I have a question its for anyone to answer my mother went to morgan
At first they told her she was offered 2000 to take it are
Find another lawyer so she signed the paper to take the 2000
After two weeks she went to the office because no one haven't

a call week later saying she will only get 2000 back after the
Lawyer fees and therapy can they do that what if she just don't
sign the check what would happened then anyone
I found that the only people who Morgan and Morgan are out to help is a Morgan and more Morgans. They seek to listen for all of your information and sell it! They are crooks!
Hello. My name is Tina Willis and I am a personal injury attorney serving Orlando, Florida residents (I will also accept cases throughout FL & GA).
My office is located in Winter Garden, Florida, where I was born and raised. Back in 1995, I graduated at the top of my law school class, and have previously worked as both a law professor and an associate at large Atlanta law firms (where I practiced insurance and employment defense).
Although I have a small firm and I can only accept real injury cases (because I keep my case load intentionally low), I am very careful with those cases that I handle. I work VERY closely with my clients to do everything within my power to help them fully maximize their potential recovery. I really care about my cases and sincerely want to help them maximize their potential verdicts or settlements. So I spend a lot of time educating my clients regarding what is necessary to maximize their case value.
*Lots of things can happen after an accident to increase or decrease your settlement or verdict. You absolutely can do MANY things to help or hurt your case. So you need an attorney guiding you through what things YOU need to do to increase your case value. My clients and I work as a team (necessary because they have to follow through with things like doctors' appointments, etc.)
Currently, I handle all of my cases with another personal injury law firm as part of a team, so my clients get the benefit of at least two attorneys working on their case, as well as paralegals and secretaries, all of whom are available and even eager to discuss your case whenever needed (because if you are educated about how to increase your case value, then you will do the things that are needed to make that happen). If I cannot take the case, then I will, with your approval, refer the case to other small firm lawyers. Case preparation makes a huge difference.
At the time of this posting, I will accept cases involving car accidents, motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, bicycle accidents, commercial vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, boating accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bite cases, negligent security cases, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, herniated disc injuries, distracted driving accidents, texting while driving accidents, products liability cases, insurance carrier bad faith cases, back and neck injuries, sexual assault cases, wrongful death cases, and many others.
I offer free, no obligation consultations and try to return my calls quickly. Because there are many public misconceptions about personal injury law, I have also spent a good deal of time personally writing and trying to explain the basics of personal injury law (in plain English terms) on my websites. So I urge anyone who needs a personal injury attorney to visit my website at injuryattorneyflorida.com and anyone needing a wrongful death attorney specifically to visit my other website at wrongfuldeathattorney.com.
Good luck and take care.

Please let us know if any of you got anywhere with your complaints. It has been for us not as much paying their fees and expenses, but all the deception, lying and false promises that got us very upset. Any help from you will be greatly appreciated.
I also was mishandled by Morgan & Morgan. I never once talked with a attorney, all I ever talked with was one of their paralegels, and they didn't know what they were doing. All they ever wanted to do was settle, I kept telling them I wasn't ready to settle, and kept asking why won't you fight for me? I still need medical help. They even accepted a $3500 check before discussing this with me, then tried to get me to take it. I finally told them I was not going to settle or sign anything till I talked with a licensed attorney, they gave me a appointment, when I email to confirm, they told me the date was no longer available, then 2 days later I received copies of all my paperwork saying they were closing my case, and maybe I needed to seek another attorney. When I did this new attorney said he had never seen a case so screwed up, he would not take it over. Told me I really needed to see a malpractice attorney. SO now I'm screwed. Beware you will not ever talk with an attorney. Seek counsel else where, you will get screwed with Morgan & Morgan.
I filed a disability claim with morgan and morgan in 2o10 for disabilty and got a non attorney rep. For my case. He didn't even make a case for me when i went in front of the judge. After being in front of the judge the rep quits the company without an appeal, another attorney takes the case and dosen't even check to see how far he took the case. Appeals have to be in to ss. Within 60 days. They did not appeal the case and i find out later that the atorney that took the case walks away from it, and never even calls me to let me know. I find this out 6 monthslater. If ss does not accept an appeal that has been made, all the backpay from 2010 to now is gone, i find this unacceptable. Especially since the paralegal told me when i got the unfavorable results, that she would appeal it for me. When i do get back in front of the judge again, i will make my on case, with no help from morgan and morgan, they really screwed me without so much as a phone call and then acted like it was my fault. I hired what i thought was a prominent law office and all that happened was they collected paper work concerning my case and did notheing with it. I want to go back to work, but my condition is way worse now than when i first filed and now it looks as if i have to start all over again, thanks morgan and morgan for nothing
If you follow Morgan's advertising, he will come full circle...things he complains about at one point he will agree with later.
His latest is attacking other attorney's for posting results of cases, something he has advertised for years...go to my website and check out the results of prior cases. He's offended and embarrassed about these attorneys doing the same thing he has done for years.
He is a multiple DUI offender yet claims he will go after drunk drivers to the fullest.
He advertises that he will handle your case...truth is he handles almost no cases, and usually when he does they are open and shut cases that ANY attorney could handle.
Almost every attorney in their firm got their start working for the insurance companies doing defense work.
Their process is ridiculous:
1. You call a call center and speak to a talking ahead that schedules and appointment in your home
2. An investigator (not an attorney) comes and meets with you and pressures you to sign up without ever meeting with an attorney
3. The case is then reviewed by a team and either gets submitted directly to an attorney within the firm or to a paralegal
4. The paralegal works the case and tries to get a settlement for you...if they can't it goes to the attorney and an increased fee
5. The paralegal, actually they call them case managers, have settlement quotas and bonuses that basically make it in their best interest to settle the case fast so they can get more cases. They run contests over a given time to see who can make the most in settlements...if they make their goals, they get expense paid trips.
6. You will almost never talk to or see the attorney that is working your case, even if you request personal meetings. The only exception is cases being prepped for trial.
7. They will accept almost any case for intake but may drop it...usually because there is no insurance available. They almost never pursue cases against uninsured people or companies that may have assets...too much work.
8. The only ones that are never asked to reduce their share of a settlement are them. They will try to convince you to accept less, they will underpay or not pay at all Drs that they send you to.
They are a cookie cutter company built on handling tons of ### cases and turning them over fast in the hopes of hitting that elusive big case. Sad thing is, almost ANY competent attorney can get you the $$$ on a good case. The test of an attorney is getting you good money on a case that has some problems. Those are the cases M & M will screw you over on just about every time.
DAN NEWLIN AINT AFRAID OF MORGAN AND MORGAN
Do not put any trust in Morgan and Morgan especially Henry Mowry for Workers Comp cases. MJowry advised me to settle my case for a small lump sum for a debilitating back injury, giving up my profession, medical support, income and ability to find another job. In other words, he wanted a quick settlement and fast money rather than look out for me and my family's future. The day after the settlement he would not answer my calls and Morgan and MORGAN BLEW ME OFF. I have gone bankrupt and have been unemployed for the 6 years since Mowry's destructive advice. This company is nothing but a smoke screen for self serving, untruthful and jerks. Do not believe John Morgan's adds especially about his helping your family or doing the right thing and serving God. Evil people.
It seems we have many folks who do not understand the what and how of our legal system...Some suggest wrongly the Plaintiff should receive 100% of the award thinking the lawyers' fee will be in addition to the award...No true. As someone else expects the lawyer to bear the costs involved in bring the suit...the practice of law is business and not some type of free government service like welfare or food stamps...
If you do not understand...Or read your contract...fail to ask questions...or have no idea of how things work you have yourself to blame
When I emailed a simple list of assertive questions to Morgan and Morgan about what to expect in general with their fees and charges and if I’d receive updates and an itemized list at the end, they suddenly told me they no longer were taking my case. Perhaps they want to represent people who are not aware of their rights and are too trusting without asking any questions. Would make it easier for them to take more money from the ultimate settlement/win for charging their “client/the people” excessive and/or unnecessary fees.
I called them to discuss a medical malpractice suit and some bimbo who answered the phone asked question from what you could tell was a preprinted form, wouldn't take down any important information you were trying to give her, and no joke, within 30 minutes, I had a call back telling me that my case didn't meet their criteria; excuse me, a doctor literally caused my husband's death, but after reading all of the above, I am so glad my case didn't meet their criteria. I have found an excellent attorney who wants to help me and I don't have to deal with these jerks. Thank you for not accepting my case and causing me to make a bad judgment call, Morgan and Morgan, Not for the People.
To practice law in Florida every attorney has to take an oath which says: "“I will never reject, from any consideration personal to myself, the cause of the defenseless or oppressed, or delay anyone’s cause for lucre or malice. So help me God.” In my opinion, the lawyers in this firm violate this oath because they require prospective clients to submit the facts in their case to someone who is not a lawyer who doesn't know the controlling law on the issues and allow them to decide whether to take your case. Second, when they reject your case they refuse to say why. How can a prospective client who is defenseless and oppressed determine whether the lawyers in this firm are rejecting their case because of a consideration personal to themselves such as greed because they don't think their attorney fees will be enough if they take your case when Morgan and Morgan refuses to let them talk to a lawyer and refuses to tell them why they rejected their case. If you want to file a complaint against this law firm or any lawyer, go to the Florida Bar website and call them and they will tell you how. The ethical rules that lawyers are supposed to follow are also on the Florida Bar website.
My daughters case was small, she didn't receive her final paycheck. I saw advertisements regarding his by Morgan and Morgan and told her to call. She did. She waited and waited, and finally after pestering them with calls (the time limit on her claim was about to come up) they told her it WASNT ENOUGH MONEY and wouldn't pursue it In other words, not enough money for them. It was only about $800.00 but seriously, how large are peoples final paychecks? So she had no time to get another attorney and the company beat her out of her money. She had to pay daycare while working, so she paid to go to work and didn't receive her pay. As a divorced mother of two, it was a LOT of money to her. Morgan and Morgan is a prime example of what is wrong, only interested if the payoff is big bucks for them. They are not in the least bit interested in you. Find a better attorney and never stop telling everyone you know about these shysters.
I'm sorry any attorney like John Morgan is still practicing well really he's not all his trolls are. He gets money from them. As I told him in a message..money is the root of all evil..it will one day stop him from ripping people off.
I hired Morgan and Morgan for a workman comp claim...BIG mistake, "the for the people" law firm is actually "the for the lawyer" firm...
My settlement wining s were actually less than what the firm received...I also must have bought their office supplies for the month because they deducted them too. Do yourself a FAVOR AND HIRE A BETTER FIRM...
I actually want to thank Morgan and Morgan for helping me lose all those extra pounds I put on during the holiday's as I am getting a great amount of exercise running back and forth to my mailbox waiting for my settlement check to arrive. I was told (of course prior to my signing my release and settlement offer) that my check would arrive within 10 days and that they had already been paid by my insurance company for my injury. Not so, it has been 12 days and the check to me has not even been cut as of yet. I used to work with mostly attorney's as I was the Special Projects Director for a large government contractor and have been very active in veteran's affairs and the director of several veteran's programs. The fees are pretty standard and you are going to find that from one attorney to another this is what it will cost you for representation. It is pretty standard. There will be lots of fees and extra's, etc. The problem is not with the attorney's but with the insurance industry that has railroaded us in order to limit their liability.
However, during the year long process this accident which was not my fault was on-going, I did not receive even ONE call from my attorney... Not a Hello, or an F__ U call or anything. In my opinion, this is inexcusable. In fact, I have never heard of this ever happening. Not in any firm ever. I was urged in writing to contact the para-legal... In other words... the implied implication is "Don't Call Me Personally". It is my practice to pray for the greedy... I use their name. I will be saying a few Hail Mary's for this firm in the next few weeks. I have been nearly bankrupted by this auto accident. The settlement I am receiving will not undo any of the damage that was done to me either physically or property wise. I now have a life long injury and I have pain every single day of my life that I can not undo. The person who hit me, their insurance company paid me 10 cents on the dollar what I owed on my vehicle. I have never been in an accident before and am a careful driver. I did not have GAP insurance. It was not my fault and yet I was told that it was my fault because I did not have this insurance. I had never heard of this insurance and when I purchased the car it was not offered to me. Basically, this has been a great lesson in the fact that in fact no one is for the people. But, we need to know the facts.
I hired Morgan and Morgan to represent me and my son in an auto accident, when I did the settlement they held funds in a trust in September 2014 for the hospital which had a lien on our account but the hospital had sent paperwork for me and my son showing they had discounted the amount owed on the lien by 50%. They also held a fee from me and my son for 90 days in which the 90 days has come and gone, I have been trying to contact someone, leaving messages to contact me back and no one will call me back nor will they email me nor will they even send us out a letter. They will not give us our moneys owed past the 90days and they will not settle with the hospital and give us our remaining monies we settled for in September. I am too disappointed in this company as a whole and the attorneys and paralegals they assigned to help with our case. I will never refer a dog to them and will be contacting the bar association to file a complaint of their professionalism because even Mr. John Morgan wont even return phone calls but they get on TV with that false commercial about them being for the people. All I can say is what goes around comes back around...KARMA IS REAL AND SO IS GOD!
Listening to all these complaints and no good out comes I have withdrawn my case..All this makes me nervous all these fees and such..I dnt want to lose my job either..
