Whew! The amount of criticism I have regarding misrepresentation from this firm, I’ll politely decline to waste my energy. But, I will say that I detect real Murdaugh vibes.
Very, very, very poor customer relations. I hired them in February 2018, and paid them a higher than usual retainer. The attorney burned her way through it reviewing the case, then abruptly resigned from the firm. The firm reassigned the case to another attorney who appeared disinterested in the case and didn't provide any guidance or instruction to me. When the judge requested the status of the case and was informed of the inaction of all the attorneys involved, she abruptly terminated my contract, abandoning me without counsel with a pending court hearing and a pending mediation date, falsely claiming that I hadn't followed her explicit instructions not to communicate with anyone, which never was communicated to me by her or anyone in the firm either via telephone, email, or US mail. When I appealed to the managing partners, they referred me to their legal representative, who, contrary to what other attorneys reported to me, claimed they were under no obligation to represent me until such time I was able to retain new counsel. I have requested my file and return of my retainer, or an idea when I may expect it, which I have to have before hiring new counsel. They haven't responded to my request.
R. Edward Henderson was hired by GEICO to defend me from an accident where I was not at fault. GEICO paid the wrong-doer passenger $25K. This lawyer is trash. STAY AWAY FROM THIS FIRM
