I hired lawyers to help me recover my inheritance.

They told me they negotiated a $1 million settlement for me.

But here’s what actually happened.

They charged a 40% contingency fee on the entire amount — even on assets that weren’t liquid and they hadn’t even investigated.

Then they took their entire fee out of the cash portion of the settlement.

So out of what was supposed to be a million dollars…

I walked away with about $328,000.

The work they did for me, left me worse off than then before I met them . I was devastated. but because of the arbitration clause, I had very little recourse to undo this bad deal that they got me into. They put their interest before my interest as their former client and this has impacted my life every single day since I signed a settlement agreement.  I was better off doing nothing at all because I was set for life

Sometimes the legal system doesn’t protect the client.

It protects the lawyers.
