“We hired a law firm that handles a wide variety of legal matters and advertises heavily in our area, to deal with one, a former employee who violated our non-compete clause, opened his own shop and solicited our customers — the lawyers said they could shut him down in less than three months; and two, ‘Terri,’ my wife, was in an auto accident caused by the other driver, but their insurance company denied liability. Our attorney said, ‘We will have a very good settlement within six months of filing suit.’ It has now been over two years, and it is one delay after another for both cases!
“This has caused us considerable distress. Had we known what to expect, we would not have pursued these matters in the first place. But the lawyers gave us little information. Is this a common or a rare situation to be in? What can we do? We are getting bills for all kinds of ‘costs’ and are in the dark. Thanks, ‘Frank.’”
