Tuve un accidente de auto donde un auto mientras caminaba en el parking de la escuela de mi hijo me golpeo a mi hijo y a mi para septiembre 2 de 2014, al sol de hoy mayo 28 de 2015 todavia el caso no se ha culminado, segun la ultima llamada de conferencia que tuve con la persona encargada de mi caso ya todo estaba en proceso y se encontraba en contabilidad para la preparacion de los cheques, el dia de hoy 28 de mayo de 2015 recibo tres cartas de cobros de gastos medicos. Que han hecho nada?
My mother hire this law firm after a car accident, after a year my mother passed away it been 9months that my mother passed away. When I pass by the office to drop death certificate the girls that work at front desk are very unprofessional and clueless of what their job is the where hiding behind a door looking at me and whispering to each other. After that the paralegal call me 4 months later asking to speak to my mother when I told her that she has passed she ask me when it happened
We truly care about you... Lou Pendas TV commercial. Beware people who "care" about you and have not met you. This law firm will NOT call you back. It has been 7 months for me, I have never met or spoken to my attorney. They will ring your phone once and hang up, so they can "register" a call to you. They want every question on a conference call so they can charge you additional. They received my check months ago-- and are just holding it. I was stopped at a red light and was rear ended. BEWARE
I am speechless to see people who posted great reviews. I even got chest pains with this "law firm". I had an accident a year ago, it took place in Puerto Rico. I gave them my case and trust they said the case had potential since was injured and it was negligence. Since January and calling every month, I was told the case was fine and trust them. In September 4th I called was told everything was ok, but I got a letter on sept 5th telling me they will not take the case. I find this irresponsible!
Poor costumer service, they never answer any call or call you back !

Hired Law Firm
The Pendas Law Firm handled my case very poorly since October 15 2012, where a car ran a red light and destroyed my vehicle.Not until 01/31/2013 where I was contacted to settle the case for 4600 because according to one of the attorneys,the opposing insurance company would not pay more.After I signed the settlement they refused to give me the money because they said that a new law was passed that all medical bills had to be satisfied.The Pends Lawfirm were negligent in informing me of the change
MY INSURANCE COMPANY PAID $75,000 IN 2011 AND AFTER 16 MONTHS THEY GAVE ME A $10,000 CHECK FOR THE CASE SETTLEMENT, AND THEN 3 DAYS LATER TOOK IT BACK SAYING IT WAS A MISTAKE AND HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME SINCE OTHER THAN SAYING THEY ARE WORKING ON THE CASE STILL - VERY BAD COMMUNICATION WITH ME THE CLIENT -NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ASKED FOR A WRITTEN STATEMENT OF THE STATUS OF MONEY PAYOUTS TO MEDICAL PROVIDERS OR STATUS OF PENDING PAYMENTS AND THEY DO NOT RESPOND TO CALLS, EMAILS OR FAXES FOR THE REQUESTED INFORMATION.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
