It was terrible me and my mom explained everything to this man and we gave him $2000 down to represent my brother then he went and asked my brother the same thing that we already answered then told us he can’t take the case but took half of our money. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this attorney to anybody because he’s not honest until he takes your money 3/2024

This guy is the worst lawyer in Corsicana by far and it’s not even close. All I wanted to do was file a written answer to show I been making legal money on YouTube for years. He was very emotional from the start. I tried to show him that I make legal money from my YouTube, yet all he cares about is himself. He also tried to charge me $300 to file a written answer as well as force himself on represent me. When I told him I didn’t want him as a lawyer he kicked me out without helping me at all. Don’t go to this guy he might drive a Tesla and wear a suit but this dude is a crook.

Ms. Fridie had my case for over 4 years and just sat on it and wouldn't file my motion. She never returned my calls for over two years and I only spoke with her receptionist, that is, if I could get through to someone. If I got their answering service, they probably never forward the messages. I've even used their client portal and still didn't hear from her so I had to hire another attorney. When my new attorney reviewed my case, they said that the paperwork was wrong, and now since it was on record, I will never get relief. Due to her laziness and incompetence, I have lost my case even before I went to trial. She owes me my life and $5000.00! She needs to be disbarred!

Not only did I lose my money, but also lost over 2 yrs of trying to help me with my case, she communicated very good with me at the beginning, after I paid for my case, I was not able to speak with her anymore, only with receptionist and her secretary, I was never on the loop of what was going on with my case, I had to chase them for info and if I did not call every month things were not moving, also answering service is the worst, they would keep me on hold for up to 30 min and passing call around, they treat you very rude and have no compassion for what the client is going through. I mention this to Fridie and secretary but no changes were done with answering service. Overall I would give negative stars but I can only pick one.

I hired this law firm . They came highly recommended. Never met the attorney or spoke to him. The assistant that was working for him was fired after almost 6 months. I have been told lies after lies. I was never told why. On a simple personal injury case it's been almost a year! I have yet to talk to the attorney or his wife other than his new assistant. I have asked on a number of occasions why this case is taking so long, no answer! I keep getting the run around. I believe the insurance company has already issued my check to the attorneys office and they are giving me the run around. To this date this case has not been settled!

I would never use him again. After I hired him and I called his office about a Dr appt, no one called back for weeks. Even the case manager wouldn't even answer my calls. When I called him to make an appointment so I could state my concerns about his treatment he never did contact me and i waited almost a week. After I fax him a letter to tell him I wanted to relieve him as a lawyer he sent information to the insurance company to Sabatoge my case.

Horrible representation. Was told I am a junkie for asking for help with pain , a faker and liar. By my own " lawyer ". I was in excruciating pain and asked for medical help dozens of times. When I have over 7 Drs that have diagnosed me. In the beginning they helped pay my bills for a few months . Then he cuts me off with 5 days to pay my rent when I have no job from the accident and a disability! Mr Patel tells me he thinks I'm faking a 15 year disability. Because of my age ! Talk about discrimination. Got in a accident that Wasn't my fault. Waited over 11 months for life threatening injuries to get addressed. Was not represented on MY best interests. Only cares about making money . The whole case was done backwards. The most important medical treatment was done at the end. Lack of help and support I have had medical complications. And almost died when I had a stroke at work ! Sad world when even money doesn't motivate people to help anyone do the right thing anymore . They had excuses for their laziness and lack of support. Blaming me for not answering my phone. If only there was a way that could leave me a message ... Either voicemail or a text .......we had Important paperwork that had to be filled. But, They called me on the Last day to complete the important paperwork. And wonder why I'm angry that I'm on the phone for just under 2 Hours a few hours before the day ends .... Important paperwork should be done ASAP . And not put on me when Im at the Drs 3 times + or more a week and they can't leave a message.

Ive never in my life seen such poor service. Last year in December I had an auto accident at 5 months pregnant which cause my membrane sac to be ruptured. Which left me on bed rest for several weeks. Every time I call Im told the same thing. Been waiting on documents via email since January which I have yet to receive. I’m a single mom so tried getting a loan to help with bills because I wasn't able to work because I was on bed rest ,in which they suggested I didn’t need. Mind you I was out of work for a month or so. I still have yet to hear from anyone in the law firm regarding my case.

In addition to being exceptionally good at what they do, Rachel and Jeff are compassionate, attentive and caring. My divorce was a 2 year process, and never at anytime was I given a reason to doubt their counsel. They saw me through every high and every low. They willingly fought for all that I was entitled to and exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

This firm has been given to me by my Metlife plan, I have a simple matter for collecting a court order judgement for 8 k . I guess this is not worth their time and quickly say conflict of interest BUT CANNOT tell me what that conflict is ? I am sure their is no conflict as this is a local bodyshop avoiding legal judgement .. I would be skeptical as I don't buy this conflict of interest. If you as a attorney can not enforce a judges order than how successful are you in other matters or this is about not enough money ?

I'm so disappointed with this law firm, I ask them repeatedly while my case was pending, what is your fee? And I was told repeatedly, 25 percent, and after my case was settled, D Miller took 50 percent of my settlement, saying that the extra fees was listed in the agreement document, a document that we can no longer pull up; I felt betrayed, robbed, and deceived by this so called law firm. I had to give a rating to submit this review, otherwise, I would not have given them a star at all.

My wife and I have been working with D. miller and Ramesh and his team for 3.5 years now. My wife was in a nasty car accident that was a hit n run. Our insurance company left us high and dry by fixing a car that had 78% damage to value, and not paying for her medical bills that were in excess of $400,000. Thanks to D. miller and Associates, we have won the case and are currently in the process of getting bills paid. Thank you for all the help! And for those that are commenting about not getting responses, keep in mind that yes you have a case…but you’re not the only case they are handling…plus due to covid-19, they have lost a lot of staff! Please be have some patients…they haven’t forgotten about you!

This lady is the worst communicator. You have to squeeze every ounce of information from her. Even your court date! She can’t let you know unless you ask her. She is stubborn and very rude. Customer service is not a term she is familiar with. I hired her for a devorce case and was thoroughly disappointed in her. She wouldn’t do anything until I pushed her. She would not pass any information along. Not even the court date. When I asked her she said “ I don’t know what you would do with that info”. That was after waiting for a whole month for updates on the case. She misspelled names on my case but still refused to take responsility. She removes you from the picture like you don’t matter in your own case. Please look elsewhere for representation. Don’t waste your $$. I was so tempted to fire her so many times but because of the scarcity of resources I put up with her. Thankfully she completed the case albeit the pathetic, menial outcomes. I sometimes thinks I would do a better job representing myself.

Hired her to represent me in my Divorce. The communication with her was not great at all. She received an temporary court order and did not notify me to attend court nor did she provide me a copy of the signed temporary order. Which resulted in a motion for contempt. She came to court on the motion totally not prepared which resulted in my ex not being held accountable for his contempt charge. I however received the shorter end of the stick due to the lack or representation. She then decided to remove herself from my Divorce case 16 days before trial. The paralegal are oblivious to what is going on as well Total waiste of money.

They will twist the story around and let you do a very very long maximum sentence in prison over a very very very serious accusation that was so dam false to begin with. Even a dummy could read the fine print and have common sense. Beware! Just keep it moving and hire yourself a real good professional. But…“Instead they should be called the criminals and of the state for allowing such behavior of a dirty trial from the officers, detectives, to the jury and then to the judge….not to mention the cross examiners and cross examination they did was very questionable how can you allow such verdict without sufficient evidence let alone a minor was interviewed without permission of a parent. They will violate your constitutional rights from left to right but they will fight to keep themselves standing innocent at the cost of what?? An innocent man’s life. I’m sure this isn’t the first time they do something this dirty but I do believe more proper investigation shall be given in any case given that will jeopardize someone’s impeccable life…to be exact this all happened in the city of Montgomery County Texas to be Exact….

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
