Despite providing substantial documentation to support our claims, our concerns have been consistently disregarded by State Farm Fire and Casualty, leading us to contemplate submitting complaints against the attorney representing State Farm Fire and Casualty to The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct and The Office of Disciplinary Counsel. State Farm's actions have demonstrated a pattern of bad faith practices, including a failure to conduct a thorough investigation into our corporation and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential policy information to a third party without proper authorization. These actions have not only hindered the progress of our insurance claim but also infringed upon our rights as a small African American-owned business.
Specifically, we would like to highlight the following grievances:
1. **Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation**: We contend that State Farm neglected to conduct a comprehensive investigation into our insurance claim, focusing erroneously on individual personnel rather than engaging with all relevant stakeholders as required by Ohio regulations.
2. **Lack of Personal Contact**: Despite my pivotal role within the corporation and clear documentation listing my responsibilities, State Farm failed to make any direct contact with me during their investigation, breaching standard investigative protocols.
3. **Allegations of Discrimination**: Our status as an African American-owned business raises concerns of potential discrimination in State Farm's handling of our claim, with actions suggesting bias in their decision-making processes. Additionally State Farm Fire and Casualty company disclosed policy information to an unauthorized party without any consent from any officer, partner or shareholder of our corporation. (Attached evidence) Please view the attached sworn under oath statements attached specifically answer number 7
"7. Please admit or deny that you, Deborah McSurley, were given notice that on or about
August 16, 2022, Claim Number 35-29N7-27R had been denied.
ANSWER: Admit. I contacted State Farm’s corporate office and they advised me I was
not a named insured and that the claim had been denied."
4. **Engagement with Black Lives Matter**: In response to perceived injustices, we have reached out to the Black Lives Matter organization to seek support and potentially raise awareness of our case within the community and beyond.
5. **Attempts to Resolve the Issue**: Multiple efforts to engage with State Farm's attorney, Lori Thomson, have been met with silence, prompting us to explore alternative avenues of addressing these issues.
6. **Potential Legal Actions**: Considering the gravity of the situation, we are prepared to pursue further legal actions against State Farm for their alleged misconduct, including filing formal complaints with relevant regulatory bodies.
Sincerely,
Mr. Marquis L. Kimble
Director of Operations/Co-Founder

To the distinguished members of The Ohio Disciplinary Counsel,
I wish to express my gratitude for the valuable services provided by your esteemed organization, which enables consumers to address professional misconduct. I am writing to share my experience regarding State Farm Fire and Casualty's attorney, Ms. Lori Thomson.
I have personally experienced violations of my rights, including racial discrimination and defamation of character, at the hands of State Farm Fire and Casualty. Additionally, the rights of our protected class organization, The HCV Distribution Corporation, have been consistently disregarded by Ms. Thomson. The attached document provides evidence of State Farm Fire and casualty's breach of our company's private policy information by sharing it with an unauthorized third party. Despite clear violations of my rights and those of our company, Ms. Thomson has failed to respond adequately to our requests for resolution. She has also instructed us not to contact State Farm Fire and Casualty regarding these violations, yet she continues to disregard our attempts to seek a resolution.
In February 2024, we sent a certified letter to State Farm Fire and Casualty seeking a settlement for these violations. Although it was received and signed for, it was ultimately disregarded. The response from Ms. Thomson included personal threats of criminal charges for our attempts to address these violations. I am reporting Ms. Thomson to the professional board of conduct due to suspected racial discriminatory actions, which parallel the treatment we have received from State Farm Fire and Casualty.
Despite providing sworn evidence of the violations and rights infringements, Ms. Thomson has ignored our requests and resorted to threatening me personally with criminal charges, despite her client's violation of my personal rights and those of our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation Inc. We are urgently seeking your involvement to address these violations.
I would like to emphasize that I am a registered minister in the state of Ohio and a sworn public servant notary in Lucas County with a clear background and record. It is both unprofessional and a violation of my rights for Ms. Thomson to threaten filing a police report against me for seeking answers and a resolution.
We have filed complaints with various authorities, including The Ohio Department of Insurance, The Ohio Civil Rights Commission, The Ohio Attorney General's Office, The Ohio Supreme Court, The Ohio Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the Better Business Bureau, The Office of the Honorable Governor Mike DeWine, The Consumer Protection Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission, and the Office of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown.
I kindly ask for your immediate involvement and appropriate actions to address these actions committed against me personally and against our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation. I have attached relevant documents for your review and appreciate your assistance in addressing this serious and ongoing matter.
Sincerely,
Minister Marquis L. Kimble
Public Servant, Co-Founder, Director of Operations
The HCV Distribution Corporation INC.

En ese lugar hay una bola de mafiosos que te van a extorsionar legalmente si firmas un contrato con ellos.
Altamente recomendable que no se acerque a ellos, te van a endulzar el oído al principio pero cuando ya tienen tu caso te tratan como la peor cosa te van a estar fregando cada mes por el pago. Siempre contesta la o el asistente lo que dura una llamada te cobra la hora del abogado, te llaman, sin resolver y te vuelen a llamar por la misma cosa dos o tres veces y la cuota sigue subiendo por cada llamada y no recuerdan para que te llaman total te mandan una factura bonito $$$$ por por el miserable trabajo que hicieron lo que por 30,40 horas quizá solo sean minutos de invertido por el abogado todo lo hacen los asistentes decirles mediocre suena bonito. Por les queda bien un bufete de mafi oso
Es lo que es cuando te cobran por nada.
Y lo que dura tu caso ya te habrán dejado votado 3 a 4 abogados total nadie sabrá llevar tu caso cómo se debe.
Mi deseo es que de verdad algún día sean más conscientes y razonables que ellos también son seres humanos.

This man was my attorney on a criminal case and he would not listen to a word I had to say. My first time ever getting in trouble and was told the whole time I would not get incarcerated then day of sentencing I was given 2 years and after the bailiff arrested me and we went in the back he said your a bigger guy you will be ok!! My family always tried to contact him and couldn’t get ahold of him!! I my own judicial release from prison and he had no idea because he wouldn’t return phone calls!! So I wrote my own judicial release and got it filed on my own and day of my judicial release hearing he randomly showed up and had no clue because I did everything on my own then after it was granted from the work I did I sat in Cuyahoga County jail another 7 days because he didn’t make sure judge signed off on all paperwork so I finally got released 7 days later on Christmas Eve when my family went to the judge and explained I was still in county!! So stay away do not waste ur money even if you’re life depended on it stay away from this crook!! If he is your court appointed lawyer ask for a new one or you will get incarcerated and told you are a big fella you will be ok it will all be a lie he doesn’t help you just looks to get money!!! Never shows up on time or if at al!!! DONT DO IT STAY AWAY trust me

Fantastic. Got the job done on multiple traffic violations, a will , and an eviction. And fascinating to have lunch with after court.
Was no longer covered under my lagak insurance but was worth every penny to have confidence in him at full price.

Unprepared and ineffectual, and then sent his senior partner when we appeared in the Lakewood municipal court, who was even less prepared. Forgot we even had a lawyer during the hearing. Phoned it in. Hope my parishioner didn't have to pay too much for this non-representation.

David Abromowitz was the lawyer I hired to help set up my IV Hydration and Vitamin Infusion business. He charged me quadruple what was discussed (quoted me 3.5-5K - charged me over 20K and I paid a final amount of OVER 12k - astronomical amount) and took 3 times as long to complete the job. Three other nurses in my coaching group (NursePreneurs) had similar experiences with him and another nurse, coincidentally, came forward today from a different IV Hydration/Vitamin Infusion business reporting the same story. RNs - be warned! He is dishonest and will overcharge you! I notified the BBB but his response was "I'm sorry she didn't understand". You and I both know the truth, Mr. Abromowitz. You were intentionally dishonest. It's people like you that give lawyers a bad name. All these RNs trusted you, I trusted you. Despite your lawyerly response to this review - you and I know the truth.

Very unprofessional. I paid Jessica $350; all she did was eat her breakfast, and she gave me some paperwork. She was too rude even to answer any questions and never answered my calls after the original consultation . She then claimed to have sent me several emails and demanded that I answer her (her way to get rid of me as a client) to sever her services; at this point, I realized it was best to cut my losses and get a lawyer who cared. Please don't waste your time with this one; she is a high-priced waste of your time.

Avoid these attorneys at all costs. I was a customer for 10 years, my original attorney left and we decided to stay. The new attorney makes me extremely uncomfortable. We asked him to help with a simple lease assignment. He ended up bringing on an additional attorney, charged us almost $10,000 for a very common/simple review. We did not ask for 2 attorney's to review this. When communicating with the attorneys they go out of their way to drag out conversations, they act like they don't comprehend what you say and then draw out the conversations to make it look like they actually were getting work done.
Most recently, we were potentially acquiring another unit in our franchise. I specifically told them NOT to file paperwork or work on this. Today, we received a bill where they want to charge us for the work I specifically told them not to do. And to top it off, they are claiming that both attorney's put work in on this when they were told not to.
I would not trust this company, it seems like have lost their principles, lack transparency, and are deceitful in their practices.

GET THERE BEFORE 3:45pm OR GET A DOOR SLAMMED IN YOUR FACE.
I just had a terrible interaction with one of the clerks that works there that shut the door in my face, literally, I could have stuck my hand out to stop it, but I didn’t. So I knocked. I was informed they close at 3:45. “I don’t get paid after 4” is what she told me.
Their website says nothing about closing at 3:45pm. The person I talked to on the phone this morning said they’re open 8am - 4pm.
This has been a negative experience made especially awful thanks to an incredibly rude worker. I hope you can find better staff in the future.

My Deceased husband has been a client for 15+ years at Kelley Ferraro. Over the years I have dealt with many professional employees from attorneys to secretaries to probate, etc. I have two employees that have stood out over the years one being Bidea Kelly. I met Bidea through a business that I had had and she had turned me on to Kelley Ferraro. At that time she worked in probate and always was very personal. Bidea would give you as much information as she could or turn you on to another employee that would be able to answer your questions. The other employee is Valerie, the settlement coordinator. sometimes in a large law firm It's almost the luck of the draw what employee you get to speak to and for the last eight months I have been blessed to get Valerie. When speaking with her whether it's a question or she calls to give me information it's almost like she takes it personal as if she understands what I'm going through. I have gotten more information from Valerie in eight months then I have in the 15 years that I've been dealing With this law firm. There is much protocol / paperwork dealing with a lawsuit, as well as different departments. I always felt in the last 14 years that my case had been Unintentionally lost in the shuffle. NOT with Valerie, she knows exactly what chain the protocol has to take before a settlement and never hesitates to explain why a settlement would take as long as it does! Valerie has worked very hard on my case and I'm sure she does this for other clients as well. Of all the employees I have come in contact with I feel confident in saying Valerie enjoys her job and takes pride in being the best she can be for Kelley Ferraro !! She's a keeper!!!
Thank you , Linda Messina

I gave her phone numbers fir witnesses and she never wrote the correct numbers down and nor did she contact anyone. They only want easy money, they don't care about thier clients. They only want an easy payday.

I highly recommend the offices of Sebaly Shillito & Dyer, particularly Mr. Brian Muenchenbach for any of your legal needs. I hired Brian to represent me and my children in a particularly difficult divorce and an erroneous criminal matter. If it wasn’t for his diligence, consideration, professionalism I’m very certain the outcome would have been very different for me and my family. I would hire Brian again in a heartbeat and with no hesitation. He is an excellent communicator and was always available when we needed him. As far as I’m concerned, he is an absolute best value attorney. If his performance is any indication of the level of excellence of the firm, then I truly believe you’re in the best hands with Sebaly Shillito & Dyer.

Mr. Gill, at first was my Johnny Cochran, but as the case progressed he just seemed to loose interest in the work. He is very witty, smart, and knowledgable about the law. He needs to take a break from the stress of the work and recollect himself and come back in the Johnny Cochran mode. He is a very good person, and will do anything to help you, but right now he is not on his game. Much love goes out to him for his efforts, and dedication. Get it together and come back as a stronger, more competent,voice for the people you represent.

Ms. Sellars was my attorney in a criminal case. I desperately needed her to file one Motion that was very significant in the case. She ttok an eternity to actually file the Motion and then she did not follow up properly. Mrs. Sellars would never return my phone calls, was very rude and unprofessional. She always spoke to me in a very condescending tone..despite the fact I am college educated. Having Ms. Sellars as my attorney was a horrible experience.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
