Pryorlaw

Two years ago I had a car accident. I hired this Lawyer's office to represent me. They did a so so job with the representation. Because the case wasn't moving fast enough for them, they began to start pushing and harassing me to take really low offers from the insurance that represented the driver that hit my car. I continuously refused to take the offers. I am really hurt and will suffer for the rest of my life with pain, so I want the full amount the other person's insurance paid out. After I pushed to get the amount I wanted, I found out that Mr. Pryor had the check with the full amount of the law suit I requested. Yet, they wanted me to take a lesser amount that was given by the other insurance. They want to keep the remaining balance of the amount that I wouldn't receive if I took the low offer. I finally received the offer I wanted and, of course, the lawyer's office took a quarter of that amount. In addition, they claimed that the amount they had to charge me for getting copies of my medical file, any other accident paperwork, stamps, envelopes, gas, mailing to me paperwork, going to court and anything else they needed to win the case added up to $5,000.00. I've only had two accidents during my entire life of driving, and this was the second one. How much paperwork would've been needed? Meanwhile, all this money is coming out of the money I'm getting from the lawsuit. When you hire a lawyer, make sure you ask lots of questions. Never sign anything without reading it first. Take your time and don't rush to hire anyone. Make sure you are involved in all decision making. The lawyers are conniving and money hungry. DO NOT TRUST THEM. They are not for you; they are for their pockets. Be smart. Watch every penny they're claiming they are spending "on your behalf". I felt manipulated by this lawyer and, even though I won the case, I feel I still lost.
