This firm was hired to work my wife's workers comp case against Walmart. Bill Carr was supposed to be representing her. For months we didn't hear anything. A meeting was set between Walmart, my wife, and Carr. They offered $2k. Carr and GMA didn't do as promised and get a second opinion. Come to find out they didn't even subpoena the medical records. They just took what Walmart's Lawyer had and that's it. While my wife had all the records proving her injury was as bad as it is. They pretty much agreed with Walmart that they didn't believe it was all that bad. Once my wife refused the settlement, it was another three months before hearing from them. And only because she called and complained to Geoff McDonald's secretary. Within a few hours she received a call from Carr. Supposed to be a confidential call between lawyer and client, but she was on speaker phone and others were in the room, which breaks the attorney client privileged. She was told she would get a call back the next day. But didn't. She called several times and left several messages to finally this morning be told they were recusing themselves from the case. She calls Virginia Workers Comp Commission to find out the recusal letter was sent to them last week. The same day as the complaint. These people claim to have your best interest at heart and to be professional and ethical. But all I see are multiple ethics violations and a lot of wasted time. All my wife wanted was for her back to be fixed. Now she is going it alone. These people are worthless. And you only got 1star because you can't put zero.
