This company deserves a zero; however this option is not available. I called the Houston office last August after an encounter with an adjuster (from the insurance company of the driver who rear ended my vehicle). Godsey Martin sent a non-lawyer to meet me a few days later, and I retained them to represent me because I just did not want to fight with the adjuster in a case where the insured was clearly responsible for the damage. Since this is not my first time hiring a personal injury lawyer, I knew what to expect - get a chiropractor, have him treat you for as long as possible. I was adamant that I was feeling alright and did not want to see a chiropractor. They told me that they couldn't help me unless I got treatment. I chose not to take off three times a week to see one when it wasn’t necessary. I did not hear from the law firm for several months. When they did call it was to find out if I had received treatment. When I told them I hadn't, they decided that they would pursue the insurance company based on my emergency room visit. For the next six months are so, I received weekly phone calls to notify me that my case had been transferred to yet another person. It is important to note, I have yet to speak to an attorney in the 12 months since they took my case. Almost four weeks ago, I received a call notifying me that they have reached a settlement. It was during this conversation that I was notified that in addition to the 33% fee, they were also going to take one hundred and eighty-five dollars for medical records and an additional two hundred dollars for administrative fee. So when it was said and done they would receive almost fifty percent of the settlement amount. After paying my medical bills I would be left with around 10 percent. I was so disgusted with them, I told Ms. Natasha to take care of things and close the case so I can move on. I am writing this review today because I haven't heard from any one in four weeks. None of my medical bills have been paid, and they have all been referred to collection. Several years ago I have another case, and the only person I encountered was the attorney and his secretary who answered the telephone. The day this attorney received the settlement check, he went directly to the physical therapist office, paid them, and then he drove directly to my house and paid me. He took what he rightly deserved (33%). So I have an obligation to share my experience with the public. I hope this is enough to persuade you to stay away from this circus that is Godsey Martin. There is better out there, and if you want the name and contact information of the attorney a used several years ago, I will be happy to pass it along to you. I know it’s hard to believe, but there e are Honest, decent attorneys here in the Houston area. Unfortunately Godsey and Martin are not among them!

My rating is acturally -5 stars since I can't do that,1 star is the most they get. This the worst firm in the entire DFW metroplex. Please I am begging you do not hire them. My wife was in an accident and there was a witness who placed the other person at fault. When we called Godsey Martin Law firm they had someone over to sign papers within an hour. 1ST red flag. They set us up with an injury clinic and advised us to keep going to chiropractor despite the fact my wife didn't need treatment. She did all kinds of tests in a bid to "drum up the bill".2nd Red flag. The other party's insurance wanted to settle for a 50% reduction since police report was unclear but our case handler advised us not to. Said we had a case and should send our case to litigation. 3rd red flag. We never ever once spoke to our attorney despite numerous calls for them to update us on our case. It was basically a nightmare. Over the course of the 8 months they had our case we had 4 people handling our case. None of them knew left from right and we always had to call them for updates. From operator all the way to the parallegals they nothing but rude and argumentative. Due to the fact that we hired them the other party hired an attorney and is now suing my wife. We called our attorney again to let them know what was happening and they informed us at that time that they will not be taking our case to litigation.We were so shocked, but really I was not surprised. Please beware of all these lawyers advertising on the radio for your business. I am sure there are some great lawyers but if I were you I would not hire this company for anything, other than teaching you how to be a crook. If you want your time to be wasted hire them. I am speaking from experience. The worst part about it is there's nothing you can do to them, they will keep advertising and surely some sucka is going to fall for their scams. Please take your injury claim case somewhere else!!

I didnt want to give this company 1 star everyone on here must be on their payroll. My fiance and kids were in an accident back in June he broke his arm lost his job and we ended up losing our home, my kids were hurt, scared and terrified. I called only to have 6 different case workers, made a fuss just to find out who my attorney was and only spoke with him once and never heard from anyone again. I attempted to fire them after 3 months and they hadnt even pulled a police report, my mother in law paid for one and faxed it over so that they would start working our case. They still managed to put a lean out for 33 1/3 of our settlement even though they have done nothing for my family. I have called and have not gotten any answers and still full voicemails, and not even a returned call from a supervisor. I wouldnt recommend this firm to my worst enemy. in the end it is my family qho is suffering the most!! Do not trust these money hungry people! They care more about promoting this place than they actually do about working and interacting with their clients!!

My experience with this firm was THE WOREST . This was my first time I had to deal with a lawyer office but it was not a good one. First you deal with case managers. you NEVER meet a lawyer and they never try to introduce themselves to you. and when I told them I was not happy with the care I was getting NOTHING WAS DONE . Still in pain I d/c myself they do not stick to what they say AT ALL . still until this day never knew who my lawyer is . they are playing around with my case . But I beat if I got surgery are something are let them pull on me are if a BIG TRUCK hit me they would have meet me. I NEVER WANT A LAWYER AGAIN BUT THEY ARE IN GOD;S HANDS DOING PEOPLE WRONG AND MISTREATING THEM.

All I can say is, don't change anything. Just keep doing what you're doing. Excellent customer service.

such a fake review under this one... worst lawyer ever
