It’s been a pleasure working with everyone at the Gori Law Firm. We’ll always appreciate the kindness, compassion, and “hand holding” we were given during a very difficult time in our lives. I give them the highest of recommendations.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, I had the pleasure with working with Megan Kolosieke. My case was a rough one for me I had endless questions I was frantic for the entire 2 years the case lasted. She always fought for me, always had the time to talk to me and calm me down. I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else to represent me, she was a friend, therapist, and lawyer for me at times truly a great experience with an amazing person.

I should have fired the Edwardsville firm when I had the chance! But, now I’m stuck with them. At one point it felt like they had switched sides somewhere along the line. And I’m not to sure they haven’t. Once you’ve settled, be prepared for emails or voicemails to go unanswered. If they do respond & you have a question, the answer is usually “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask your state attorney about that. I’m not familiar with those state laws.” Seems kind of funny since their video states they are knowledgeable in all 50 states. Don’t ask for a time frame when you settle, they lie about that too. I’ve been given a number of days so many times, it’s ridiculous. Their communication skills are questionable. I would think they would want to be as transparent as ethically possible. But, they’re not. My advice would be to become familiar with your state and federal tax/trust laws if you decide to proceed with a case. You won’t get any help from them. I would look at multiple firms and ask A LOT of questions before proceeding with anyone. Wishing I had never began this process with them.

**UPDATE-(09/22/21) My 1 star review is bumped up to a 3 star review now. My settlement was finally finalized and I highly recommend communicating with Amy Gabriel at this firm as she was the only person I've talked to in the whole 4 year process that actually cared and followed up with me and answered all of my questions. **UPDATE- I got a quick phone call back right after posting this finally! I finally got answers and communication! That's all I wanted the whole time!! Now if my settlement is finally done within 10 days as promised then I'll edit/update my review! *** NOTHING but the run around since I opened a essure lawsuit with them back in 2017!!! The lack of communication is outrageous and I've got nothing but the run around from them. I FINALLY got a settlement letter in November of 2020(which I wish I would of got a second opinion on since it was so low). June of this year I FINALLY received an email saying checks were being dispersed and thank you being a client. July rolls around and I still hadn't received mine so I emailed Elizabeth Onken back, only to get a very vague response. It's like pulling teeth with them but they are "on your side". Anyway long story short it's now almost September (tomorrow) and I've been ignored and still no check as promised. STAY AWAY! VERY VERY FAR AWAY.

Good Staff

Fine company for someone seeking a lawyer, but DO NOT work for them. The Human Resources woman there is extrordinarily unfriendly, rude, and never returns emails, and will then give you a write up for going to her office to speak with her when you aren't able to get in touch with her! Also, anytime an email or other written document discussing policys within the employee handbook mysteriously disappear from employee email accounts. Trust me, anytime that an employee challenges something quoted from the handbook that was incorrect or not stated in the document, all of the proof that HR or your supervisor gave you false information will vanish. Then it's your word against theirs and guess whose side they take? On top of that, the atmosphere itself functions like cliques in high school and is uncomfortably racist. The few non-white employees there are paid significantly less, get passed over for projects that given to less experienced employees, get hounded by the HR witch over policy infractions that never have proof of having occured, and are just overall treated poorly. Extremely dissapointed in this firm's team.

My mother’s asbestos case was going well until her passing. Now Medicaid has had a hold on everything and nothing has been released since her passing in May! Seven months. While we’ve notarized and mailed back over a dozen offers. Nothing. Me and my two sisters are suffering in poverty while it could easily be dissolved under hardship as it’s the only asset we have from her and we are all living in poverty awaiting it.

Used them for the 3M ear plug suit. After they asked me to provide logins to my VA medical record account, which is insanely unprofessional if not illegal, I told them I was no longer interested in their representation and asked them to stop contacting me. They continue attempting contact, harassing me for information I have refused to provide when telling them I'm not interested in their representation.
