Report
Very Dishonest people.... Don't know what else to tell you, gave all the details, provided all evidence/materials, Mike (the lawyer I spoke with), quoted me around $500 to settle outside of court and $1000 if it had to go to court. Total costs for settling outside of court was almost $1,600. Amount we got back from the settlement doesn't even cover the costs of the lawyer fees (he assured me the $1000 down payment I gave before he started, would cover), Don't even keep your best interest in mind or fight very hard, would never recommend to anyone. They will not help you, they will burn as much
