Easy to talk to and they know their stuff. Have helped me multiple times with my business and personal things. Great job!

I hired Mr Jordan to represent me during a pool construction claim. My initial meeting with Michael was towards the end of the statue of repose for the pool contract, which Michael never informed me about. Instead he advised me to try resolve case through a letter to contractor, which went on for a few months. As it became evident that the contractor was not going to make good on issues, Michael put together a plea and filed our case with court. I was in the process of hiring a forensic engineering firm to discuss my case and they questioned the time and statue of repose and advised me to speak with Michael about it. When I asked Michael about this, he stated that he didn't feel this would be an issue and that he could overcome it based on his experience. The case was dismissed eventually, the judge ruled that we had missed the deadline for the statue of repose. I asked Michael for a refund of my fees paid since he essentially blew the case. He merely offered me a 50% refund or the opportunity to go to mediation. I countered with a refund offer request of just over 75% to which he said he needed to consult with his attorneys. He has been consulting with them for well over 50 days and when I emailed to ask what is going on with my refund he simply states to be patient and that he will get back to me.nnAdditionally, during my time with him as a client, he never provided me with an invoice of time spent while working on my case so at the end he actually gave me a bill for an additional 50% more than I had provided in my retainer.nI would highly recommend not using him or his firm based on my experience.
