hello I would like to start this off by saying three years ago I was shot in the face while reposessing a car. I received extensive damage to my face and my jaw was shattered in part leaving me on my deathbed eventually to have my mouth wired shut for months on end and in excruciating agony for years. I contacted dunnion law firm and had him handle my case, I received $100,000 on the first law suit while he charged 45% from sitting at his desk. I could say Connell did well getting the first case with homeowners insurance resolved. Then I went after another insurance company covering the reposession bond. Connell informed me that he had to take a bigger valued case and would be assigning another attorney. I then was introduced to Jenny De La Campa, who was really sweet but you have to understand that she is working for Tom so she has to do what he says while they are going after this insurance company. They let some good offers pass about a year into the case, put my family through grueling depositions, friends were harassed by process servers for opposing counsel with Dunnion doing nothing to put a stop to the harrasment. During all this they hired a back yard attorney who I couldn't find but a few (negative) reviews on. I only had one phone conversation with this attorney,Michael Whittaker, in which he called me a liar about my career experience and my education. needless to say I let him go which dunnion did NOT LIKE ONE BIT. They did not want to have to personally go to trial.I then contacted them numerous times and got the run around. when it came down to going to trial for a case valued at $3,000,000.00 dollars they backed off and bullied me into signing papers and said if I refuse to sign I will have all these costs to pay. What happened to their flat rate charges? If we dont win you dont pay, to me that's a bunch of lies. I was bullied into taking $10,000.00 and they sent me a check for $2,135.69 it should have been over $5,500.00 I didn't get a fee break down but even then I should have been charged 45% as stated in the original contract and I would not be responsible for any other fees. This firm doesn't care for their clients, They look for fast and easy money. If they have to dance in front of a jury they refuse.THEY DON"T GO TO BAT FOR YOU.I have battled this case way too long now and to be treated the way they did? I am now left with medical bills totaling over$500,000.00 not including further costs for reconstructive treatments. I live every day in pain and discomfort while the members of this firm sleep well at night knowing they get taken care of before their clients. They use the name to scare most insurance companies into paying out before a trial is necessary but when an opposing attorney calls their bluff they put their tail between their legs and hire outside trial lawyers. I don't see how they could do this to a lot of people knowing these people have families to support and are unable to work due to injuries, are left with huge medical problems and high medical debts While Tom moves on the the next payday laughing all the way to the bank while his clients are left depressed, incapacitated and trying to figure out what to do next. I have read nearly a hundred negative reviews in recent weeks and wish i would have looked into this more 3 years ago. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FIRM FOR ANY HUGE INJURY CASE MAYBE A DOG BITE OR SMALL FENDER BENDER BUT ANYTHING ELSE MOVE ON TO SOMEONE WHO CAN BETTER ASSIST YOU AND STAND BY YOUR SIDE AND BE LEVEL WITH YOU AND YOUR DECISIONS REMEMBER YOUR THE CLIENT THAT HIRED A LAWYER NOT A LAWYER HIRING YOU BUT SEEMS THAT WAY WITH THIS FIRM AND WHAT EVER THEY DO TO SCARE AND THREATEN YOU. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW OR YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON YELP TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS THANK YOU... DO NOT HIRE CONNELL OR THE DUNNION LAW FIRM UNLESS YOU GOT A INSECT BITE OR RAN OVER BY A REMOTE CONTROL CAR ANYTHING ELSE TAKE TO SOMEONE BETTER DUNNIONS COMMERCIALS ARE FALSE ADVERTISEMENTS
