Reviews and Complaints

I had a slip and fall at Taco Bell on July 26th 2013.

I am going to be totally upfront with you. I am now doing much better. However, I had have a few problems still going on with my back.

However, I did hire an attorney, the day after my incident. This attorney never once contacted me via phone, email, mail nothing. I spoke with the paralegal only. Then I received an email asking if I would recommend the firm to others. I explained that I never talked with my attorney..not clue who he is. Told the situation. Then I get a call from the paralegal that he would like a phone conference with me. Great, well now he is asking me questions on an incident that happened 5 months prior. He was asking me questions on events that happened BEFORE the fall. Well myself and the person I was with ..had no memory of exactly every step we took prior to my fall. I KNOW that he should have asked all those questions immediately. Not 5 months later. NOW, the day I try to talk to someone else in the firm, I wanted a new attorney. No one would call me back..it was like every time I called ..he got the message. Then amazingly he writes me and tells me that my case is being dropped. If I had any questions to call him. i have tried to call the firm many times. Nothing. First ..is this fair. he signed the contract as much as I did.

Now I am worried about Taco Bell how to handle my case. I have medical bills like crazy. I fell on the wet floor..that had no sign by it...when I was called to get my food. I did the splits more or less.. landing on my left knee and severely spraining my ankle. fell on my right hip, butt and snapped my neck backwards. A few weeks later, I was trying to walk down the steps and twisted my good ankle..it was very bad ..so at that point I had two sprained ankles badly and a badly sprained and deeply bruise knee with fluid on the knee cap. I have two torn ligaments n my low back from the fall. I have all mri s to support all this. can someone please help me here.

First I hate that little people like myself get bullied by big time attorney firms... and and taco bell...

PLEASE HELP...

As it turns out this company is full of crooks and liars.
You will not receive or see most of your settlement. They add on fees and services that are necessary and never really discussed during your free consultation. Free as long as you don't mind selling your soul. Bare in mind this may or may not have anything to do with the patriarch or the firm, because I can guarentee unless you are a high profile case you won't be seeing much of the faces you recognize from the commercials. But all of that isn't all that unusual for a firm, what is unusual is having a client lie about details in a disability case against a fairly well known local hotel that was sold (unrelated) recently.
Having your client say that the hotel lacks wheelchair access, is not up to code for disabled access. When everyone involved knows full an well that this is not the case.
That is unusual.

Lawyers didn't know laws or particulars about my case!
I was injured at work. Comp carrier denied my case for bogus reason even though doctors that ex sent me to said they were responsible! I hired Morgan and Morgan! For the people right? Wrong! I had to do all the foot work collecting medical records, phone calls.. Anything to do with the case When we went to mediation I was informed 2 days prior by e mail and when the mediator ask my attorney questions he could not answer! He had no idea what was in the records. I had arranged them and highlighted the points I thought were important and had to point them out to my attorney ! He never explained the process to me nor did he explain why we were even there! I did not have any communication either. Both he and secretary ignored my calls, questions or emails! I have copies of all my emails begging for a response! Morgan and Morgans founders may have been honest but the lawyers they have representing them now only care about a quick settlement even if it means ruining your life. Do Not Hire Them! They do Not Care about you or really the company they represent!

I was filing for disability and came to Morgan and Morgan for help. All I received was bad attitude and every time I requested something I had to do the leg work for them. Phone calls and get my own records to fax to them they did nothing. I won my case and the lawyer did absolutely nothing except give me attitude when I called and put the work back on me. They take forever to even return your phone calls. I do not think any one should hire Morgan and Morgan they are to big in the head. I regret hiring them.

called to discuss workers compensation was told that a investigator would come to my home had to sign papers before I could talke to an attorney told girl on phone I did not want that all I wanted was to talk to an attorney. She put me on hold then to talk to her supervisor then she came back told me she was going to put me through to Tim Morgan what a shock that was he answer the phone to what do you need. I said I was wanting to talk to someone about workers compensation I had some question, he then rudely said yes what do you want. It seem that I was to much of a bother to him for him to be nice and pleasant. He had to be the rudest person needless to say I call another law firm, it seems they REALLY ARE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE

I injured myself while I was a caregiver. While I was on the job, I fell in the kitchen and broke my arm, I sustained a compound fracture and was hospitalized. I did not think I would live through the pain. I am still in pain today. This happened three and a half months ago, and my arm and use of my hand is still not functional.

Morgan and Morgan took my case when I was released from the hospital. After not hearing from them I asked if I could be advised as to status of the case.

I was told that since they did not get a response from the family, there was probably nothing that they could do for me.

This is a severe injury with long term repercussions. I was on the job.

Is it possible that their case load is so high, with bigger cases, that the legitimate pain and suffering I sustained while I was on the job does not merit their attention?

I need help, not excuses.

I'll try and make this short as possible. My husband and I took ownership of our Daughters dog 6 years ago. She adopted him from the NYASPCA while living in NY. His name is Einstein and he was found tied to a door knob for the first 7 months of his life. He was emaciated and showed signs of physical abuse. He went through all testing showing no problems after rehab. with no signs of aggression. While our daughter had him she had no problems for 6 months while with her. He is so loving an affectionate. After being with us for I don't remember, maybe a year or so he would tense up when he seen strangers, shaking like a leaf, staring and focusing on some people a little too much with ears back which "I" thought needed some attention mainly because I felt was a sad way to live being so scared of people. His anxiety was emotional to watch and my husband and I wanted him to learn that not all humans are out to hurt him. Raising dogs (sled dogs) most of my life growing up I learned a lot about obedience training (all positive reinforcement) and we did great with Einstein yet he still was too focused on humans so I reached out to a dog training company as this anxiety of his and the door barking I was not quite sure how to train him in those areas. "I" wanted to learn how to help him. So he went with the trainer for 8 days, came home and the teaching began. He started training Sept 2012 and was doing great! He looked so forward to group class every Saturday. He loved every part of it, even all the dogs AND the humans. Althought he is doing fantastic, I still did not allow strangers to close or to pet him because although he is doing very good and not so afraid like he use to be he still at times focus's to long on someone and we now know how to quickly redirect him. Works excellent!
So everything's going great, we even have him wearing a bright red vest which reads "PLEASE DO NOT PET ME, IM WORKING" and wears a remote collar.
On April 6th, 2013 our trainer had his group lesson at Fiesta in the Park at Lake Eola. My husband is actively doing a group lesson. Now picture this in your mind, Einstein is sitting at my husbands left side with just barely a little slack in leash (don't want to choke him) and while they are "both" doing a lesson a little girl (6) comes running full speed coming up "behind" my husband & dog as she trips and falls right on top of our dog throwing him and my husband to the ground. The leash is now tangled in the little girls legs, Einstein is panicking, yelping, trying to get up but he cannot because the leash is around her legs and he is kicking all four legs fighting to get OUT of the situation but he cannot. Then the Mom grabs her little girl pulling her to her and now Einstein is being choked. My husband lays on Einstein because he's panicking now and he needs to stop keep him still so as the leash can be untangled from the girl. And yes there is a lot of screaming. Once loose from the girl Einstein calmly got up and walked several feet away and sat very calmly.
Now here's my point: Our dog was 1) On a leash sitting at husbands side 2) He was 100% in control, 3) They never saw what was coming until THEY were knocked to the ground. This poor little girl had her right arm injured from Einstein's claws (razor sharp, I have scars from playing). We all witnessed this and thank goodness for a woman whom we never met a day in our life came forward because she seen the whole thing happen from seeing the girl (unsupervised) running and you know the rest.
NOW she hires Morgan & Morgan to sue US! We just had a hearing down at OCAS so they can determine now if Einstein should be labeled dangerous. That is what M&M are hoping for so they will have a law suit and of course she has all her legal idiots there. We had only 24 hours notice so we of course didn't have ours there. All evidence was on Einstein's side and this Mother honestly, there's something wrong with her (mentally). She tells a WHOLE different story. Yet SHE has no witness except herself. The photo her attorney pulls out of the little girls arm is magnified by 20x at least!
If OCAS follows their own State Statute # 767.12 1b then there is NO case and they cannot deem him dangerous. Now we all know that our laws are not always followed. So now it's a waiting game to hear OCAS decision.
M&M will do whatever it takes to make money no matter who their trying to take it from.
When a firm can spend more than 10 million dollars a year just in advertisement it's plain to see they are NOT for the people! They are for themselves and themselves only!
Please feel free to give your opinion.

Any company that over self promotes themselves, be wary...This company are everywhere in Orlando, , and when they actually are hired to do their job. They are almost invisible and unattainable for professionalism, followups, staying in touch with the client. And dont seem to want to help if its a small case..if they dont think its worth their while. NOT ADVISABLE

Looking for a review about Morgan & Morgan and John Morgan. Well John Morgan was arrested for drunk driving according to an Orlando newspaper - Orlando Weekly. The article says that according to the arresting officer, Morgan became enraged upon arriving at the Seminole County Jail, called the officer a "fat #er" and "baldy," twice headbutted him, and hit him in the face with his left hand. So, in addition to charges of DUI, failure to provide insurance and two other minor traffic offenses, Morgan was charged with battery on a police officer, a third-degree felony calling for up to five years in prison. Talk about a lack of integrity. Even if you excuse the DUI, you can't excuse what he did next. Personally I would never use this firm, as his conduct shows a complete lack of integrity. There are a number of comments on the web asking how many times this guy has been arrested for DUI - and several comments say 5 or 6 times, but that he manages to minimize the consequences since he is a lawyer. read about it yourself: http://www2.orlandoweekly.com/news/story.asp?id=252

I had a slip and fall accident at a resort as a guest and the attorney dropped my case when they found out the company let their insurance lapse and the hotel is still making money by re nting out part of that business. I have poor credit and now lost my job of 9 years. The attorney waited over a year to try to serve them papers to get them to pay the doctor bills and now the owner cannot be found and the hotel is for sale. I guess you can't put a lean on their property in the state of florida.

Morgan & Morgan are nothing but crooks themselves. They agreed to take my case 5 months ago on 10/24/2011. They told me i had a case after i explained to them how i sustained my injuries.

I will file a complaint with the Georgia Bar. The Bar doesn't "Tolerate" Georgia Attornies leaving their clients out in the cold. Why did they "TAKE" my cause to begin with. It has been almost 6 months since i sighed a contract for them to be my attorney. I signed it on "10/24/2011". I just would like to know "WHY". I have sustained permanent injuries from the other parties negligence. Thanks to Morgan & Morgan ### Attornies. I will never get compensated.

But this isn't over yet not from a long shot. I am reporting their actions to the Georgia Bar.

This is to "Morgan & Morgan. I have told nothing but the truth i would not file a complaint for the hell of it unless i had a problem with your firm. I have a major problem with your firm for being treated "Unfairly". Your attorney's used to for the ### insurance they still DO!. You can't claim "Defamation Of Character" because i haven't "LIED" about what your attorney's have done to me.

I have lost all faith in attorneys know. I don't know how to proceed in getting damages. I have lost my job i am unable to work because i am on pain medications everyday. I would advise people to stay "AWAY" from this law firm. On lawyers.com they have a 3.7 rating the negative comments are more then the positive comments. I wish i had looked online before i hired these a**holes.

I am filing a complaint against Morgan & morgan for there exceesive fees over and above their 33.3% Fees for "costs" copying, photo copy, fascimile totaling 900.00 is outragious.. They wind up with close to 50% of my settlement. Their explaination is "well, it was in the contact you signed." reasonble fees might be expected but theirs are way out of line. Most of these fees would not have been incurred had the paralegal done her job correctly,
also, actually getting to speak to an attorny instead of the paralegal happens only after you complain to one of the Morgan's directly. from my research I am only one of many that I have found. how does one fight this?

I recieved a phone call at 0756 on 18 June 2011 from this company Morgan & Morgan in California stating that I am being named and social securtiy number are being named in a law suit for a payday loan from a company called US Cash Advance. The paralegal's name is Shawn Woods. This company will not give me any information about this matter other than the name of their law firm, the company that I am suppose to owe and that on SUNDAY 19 June 2011 they will be filing the suit in court, if I did not take care of the matter. Mr. Shawn Woods stated that the loan was taken out in the time frame of LAST YEAR DECEMBER 2009 AND JANUARY 2011. When I corrected him on tomorrow being SUNDAY he stated that he meant MONDAY and when I told him that last year would have been DECEMBER 2010 he got upset and starting yelling at me telling me that he was not going to put up with me correcting him. I asked for some type of documentation, verification of bank account used, verification of signed contract or any information that would substantiate this claim. Mr. Shawn Woods stated that he did not have to verify or prove anything to me so he was going to go ahead and file the suit and call my employer, then I would have to answer to the court. This company is obviously a SCAM and needs to be dismantled. I see from this website at one other person has been targeted by them with the same scenerio. Is there anyone who can help in this matter. If so please email me at [protected]@yahoo.com. Last I checked Bush took away the option for MILITARY PERSONNEL to take out payday or cash advance LOANS!

I was a dog bite victim and really had no intentions at first of doing anything to collect for expenses or lost income. I was finally convinced that I should do something. I decided on hiring Morgan and Morgan. It appeared they would get the job done. They sent an investigator who took my information about the incident. I was assigned an attorney and at first it appeared all would go well and be over quickly. Well when the owner of the dog home owner insurance denied the claim due to an exclusion which was announced three to four months after the attack another story came out that I was at fault even though the dog was loose in the platiff's front yard, which violates a dog at large ordinance in our state. Because the plaintiff said he had three witnesses that I trespassed onto his property even though I was in the street when the dog came up from behind and bit my leg, my attorney decided at that time to believe them since I was alone and had no one else to corroborate my side of the event. Even the animal services report which placed the blame on the dog's owner was not enough for my attorney to pursue the case on my behalf. The settlement offered was an insult and I turned it down. Basically I met my attorney face to face one time. All other communications were primarily with his assistant via e-mail or phone. I firmly believe because my case was not going to produce what I guess would be five or six figures, my attorney just tucked his tail and ran. He did not depose anyone from the other side to make sure their story was factual. I felt I being the victim was placed at the at fault party even by my attorney. I even complained to John Morgan with no response. I felt having a lawyer would aid in my situation. It may have, I just picked the wrong firm to represent me. I tell everyone I know, if you are looking for a lawyer do not hire Morgan and Morgan because they are out for themselves not for who they represent.
