Business ProfileforRichard Harris Law Firm

The law firm created phantom charges for copies, fax, telephone, and postage costs in addition to chase card services, policy search costs and demand package services costs that cannot be justified. Additionally, the firm used intimidation, fraud, and deceit in order to secure retainment with respect to my second accident case. In particular, I was given an offer of $10,000 prior to their retainment which I was to accept, but was told that if I did, the firm would not represent me on the first case, and further stated that I was entitled to much more than 10k, and that they could get me more. After one year, not only did the firm not get me more, they ultimately settled for the same 10k I was offered prior to their retainer. In light of this, the firm should not be entitled to any percentage of the second settlement and I demand a refund. Finally, the firm was so negligent and unzealous in connection with their representation that I experienced extreme hardship that otherwise would not have been endured but for their snailpaced representation. Specifically, it took the firm several months to prepare a demand letter and represent this matter. I kept getting bounced around from attorney to attorney (total of 4-5) which stalled my case out for nearly 12 months and during this period I basically did all the leg work myself. On top of that, injury evidence was mixed up by the firm and inappropriately submitted into the wrong cases and it was a gigantic mess. Overall I endured a ton of hardship directly related to the firms failure to handle my cases in a timely manner. I lost my home, my car, and it was literally the worst experience of my life. The firm did not zealously advocate my claims, they did not handle my cases in a timely manner, nor did the firm fight for me as advertised. I demand a full refund. Lastly, the bulk of communications with respect to my claims were via email, and theres no way the firm can justify $1,977.52 in additional charges.
