no true representation

2

I was a dog bite victim and really had no intentions at first of doing anything to collect for expenses or lost income. I was finally convinced that I should do something. I decided on hiring Morgan and Morgan. It appeared they would get the job done. They sent an investigator who took my information about the incident. I was assigned an attorney and at first it appeared all would go well and be over quickly. Well when the owner of the dog home owner insurance denied the claim due to an exclusion which was announced three to four months after the attack another story came out that I was at fault even though the dog was loose in the platiff's front yard, which violates a dog at large ordinance in our state. Because the plaintiff said he had three witnesses that I trespassed onto his property even though I was in the street when the dog came up from behind and bit my leg, my attorney decided at that time to believe them since I was alone and had no one else to corroborate my side of the event. Even the animal services report which placed the blame on the dog's owner was not enough for my attorney to pursue the case on my behalf. The settlement offered was an insult and I turned it down. Basically I met my attorney face to face one time. All other communications were primarily with his assistant via e-mail or phone. I firmly believe because my case was not going to produce what I guess would be five or six figures, my attorney just tucked his tail and ran. He did not depose anyone from the other side to make sure their story was factual. I felt I being the victim was placed at the at fault party even by my attorney. I even complained to John Morgan with no response. I felt having a lawyer would aid in my situation. It may have, I just picked the wrong firm to represent me. I tell everyone I know, if you are looking for a lawyer do not hire Morgan and Morgan because they are out for themselves not for who they represent.
