I cannot thank Attorney Michael Gatien enough for his handling of my personal injury case. He was very detail oriented, and provided a very accurate accounting of my injuries, costs, loss of wages and suffering caused by the accident. Michael was easy to talk with, he explained the process throughly with me, and encouraged me to ask questions to help keep me comfortable with the whole complicated process. The final settlement was fair, and I left the situation feeling I had been represented well. Thank you once again. I would recomend Michael to anyone who has the need.

I was in wreck caused by a police offer. Due to terrible laws not lining with logic, I could only go after others who hit me. I contacted this guy. At the time his reviews were a little better(cough). I see they went down. Anyway, he had to go after my own insurance company since the girl who hit me didn't have insurance. Laws, got it great. Unfortunately my other half didn't put a good amount on our insurance policy for idi0ts without insurance. Long story short, we finally come to a close. He has me sign at his home (pretty ballsy in my opinion) to sign the papers that the case is closed and I was excepting $8k ( give/take a few bucks. I'm Rounding) for pain and suffering. 2 months later I receive an email from the this guy stating I owe the chiropractor office little over 1k for the settlement. This isn't my first rodeo, unfortunately with being rear-ended.
Everything should have been finalized when signing. I talked to the chiropractor and here this lawyer didn't pay attention to his math. Then I received my ambulance bill of $700 and little over 1k for my christal clinic bill. This guy missed mathed almost 3k, I needed to settled after the fact things were "closed". Luckily my health insurance covered it, except the chiropractor. I had to take care of it myself. Last I checked i had my career. If i mess up, people die at my job. I simpky don't mess up. I shouldn't have to fix others career mistakes. Unfortunately, this guy has a clause in that final paper work that covers his mistakes. Sad when you mess up enough, you need to cover your own mistakes. I call it deliberately done. He gets 1/4 of the OVERALL settlement. He gets the settlement as high as possible. Gets that 1/4 then you get the remaining he " miss calculated". Good snakey deal huh? His excuse was I was lucky to get his rate at 1/4 and not 1/3rd and I had a pre-existing condition. A deal doesn't mean you get to do a terrible job. My condition was a c5 to c6 herniation of 1 mm. This wreck was a c5 to c6 to c7 herniation. C5 to c6 became 3mm. I have never suffered so bad with constant pain. I do NOT recommend someone who gaslights and underminds people. Wouldn't be suprised if he didn't try to sue me for posting FACTS. At least post a bs comment trying to justify his actions. Ps my dude, I can get all kinds of law info from the chiropractor, my other halfs dad who is a sheriff and my sister who is in law. Unfortunately doesn't do these kinds of cases. Otherwise I would have picked her. Just do better.
Answered the bs on the pre-existing condition. So did the chiropractor. Clearly you don't understand a what a herniated disk is. That a 3mm is bigger than a 1mm. A new disk being herniated is not pre- existing. There goes that gaslighting again. Blah blah blah. Comment. It is okay i finished doing your work for you. I did the foot work for you and submitted the rest of what you didn't. I submit them several times. As I should not have had to.
