Gilliam Law Group

This Law Firm is the worst! They went into my bank account and frozen ALL my funds because I owed them. Mind you they NEVER sent me anything in the mail or did I received a phone call. My account was on hold until they received their money. No one should have to deal with such scrutiny and ridicule. They do not care about no one as long as it benefits their needs. I recommend you do not deal with this law firm. You will have lots of regrets. Do your research first. Check with the Better Business Bureau they're not even listed. Smdh

This a deceitful law firm. Communication is a major problem with this firm. I was on a payment plan and paid late as I needed a replacement HSA card. I was allowed to pay late without complications or comments regarding the payment but when I called back just 10 days later to pay the current payment I was told I could not payment because garnishment was pending with my employer and it was initiated before I made the prior payment. Why wasn't I told this when I called and made the prior payment? The account handler told me that she was not obligated to tell me anything. Her manager and the fellow managers are away at conferences for a full week and my concern can not be escalated. I offered to pay in full and was advised that cash or cashier check is only accepted now and that their Ironbridge location is no longer an option to come make payment. OrthoVA (OrthoOnCall) is in business with a predatory law firm that sets the payer up for failure by not properly delivering notices of debt and not properly communicating with payers even when speaking with them directly. If you do no value your clients and the recommendations of your clients, Gilliam Law Group may be great for your collection needs. This being said the bill will get paid in person, a receipt will be handed directly back to me and I will not ever utilize services from any OrthoVA (OrthoOnCall) practice or recommend an OrthoVA (OrthoOnCall) practice again as were not thorough with the initial billing to begin with; I don't even recall receiving one from them.

this law firm and the attorneys in it, break the law to try and get money. I brought to their attention that they sent a warrant in debt to an address my brother lived at 10 years ago, not to the address the creditor provided them. They cannot and will not provide proof that they even sent proper notices prior to legal action. I asked how they got the address, she stated a skip trace. Why the hell would you use a skip trace when the creditor provided you with the CORRECT address. After speaking with the creditor it was found that they sent bills to the child's mother, the child's mother ignored the bills (father never got the bill) so the account was turned over to collections. Father was the one sent to collections since he holds insurance on the child. Creditor also provided proof that they provided accurate info to the law firm. The law firm acknowledged that they dont know why they did a skip trace and doesn't care that they NEVER followed proper legal procedure to file a warrant in debt but says to take it up in court. Your office should be ashamed and you have been reported to the BBB and Virginia Bar Association. It appears your practices are consistently fraudulent and I have provided all reviews to the BBB and the Board as well since we are clearly not the only ones.

My wife had to have surgery, which was conducted at OrthoVirginia. Our insurance was slow to pay one bill, and that bill was turned over to the Gilliam Law Group for collections (with no notice or conversation from OrthoVirginia, but that's in another review). They, in turn, never contacted us about the balance. Our initial contact was a summons to appear in court. Again...not a letter, not a phone call, but a summons. The judge did actually listen when we explained that insurance was still reviewing it, and decided to allow us more time to resolve things with the insurance company. After conferring with the insurance company, we were told it would be paid and all was ok. Fast forward one year. I checked my checking and savings accounts, and saw that both were empty (despite having plenty of money earlier that day). After investigating, I discovered that the Gilliam Law Group had asked for our accounts to be frozen. Again, we were not notified at all. There was no bill, no phone call, no letter...we moved straight to garnishment. We now have had our accounts frozen for nearly a week, and have been told that our accounts will not be made available again for several more days (even though we paid the debt in full several days ago). This, by the way, is the first time this has ever happened to either of us. We are very diligent about paying our bills. I do not know why we received no notice from this organization before they took the extreme measure of freezing our assets, but I find the practice reprehensible. We literally cannot put gas in our car, buy groceries, or pay our bills because this firm couldn't be bothered to send a bill or make a phone call. The only saving grace is that we have friends who are willing to help us. I can only imagine how hard it would be for people who didn't have the ability to pay immediately...they'd be starving with no hope in sight. The prevailing attitude among the people at the firm has been that it's our fault, and that the fact that we went to court was our notice (despite that happening more than a year ago). Legally, I'm sure they are correct. Ethically, I find this disgusting and predatory. I'd be ashamed to work for this organization; I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I was responsible for people not being able to even buy groceries because I froze their accounts with no notice. All my wife and I want is to be able to have a fair chance to pay our bills. That's all we ever wanted. Too bad the individuals at this law firm appear to have had a different agenda.

How is it even possible to leave 1 star? I should be able to leave 0. This law farm took legal action with 0 notification in advance. They charge all kinds of interest and fees day by day so that I have to pay back in a larger amount than expected. Unless you don't pay a qualifying amount, you will only be paying for the interest and fees.
