McKone & Unruh

Reviews

  Just something to think about before I say what I feel would be extremely helpful to anyone making the difficult yet vital decision on who to choose to represent you, the review before me, is the only negative comment, and in general, if they are ignorant, then their opinion mat not be influential or the truth. He asked who put Unruh through law school, well he misspelled through. Just a point to think about when reading reviews However, in my opinion, there is a huge difference in just going through school, and one who has years and years of experience. It's kind of like being BOOK smart, but then learning how to, and when to put that information to use in order to represent someone to the best of your ability. I would like to tell you my experience, as a woman who has not only years of formal education, but also years of experience and worked hard so every time I made a mistake I worked double to not make the same mistake, and the only way to learn is through trial and error. First, Mr. Unruh has many years of experience and is well respected for the knowledge over the years and has developed great knowledge of who and what you are up against in your individual case. I had a traumatic incident occur, where I felt the police were wrong in their decision and felt like I had plenty of documentation to prove who was at fault. I chose to call every single attorney that I have ever dealt with, whether through meeting in social circumstances or past private attorneys I have paid for representation as well as public fenders who had been hired to represent me. One, shot me an email two days later and said they could not help me, good luck. Later, the one whom I have known the absolute longest, has represented me twice privately and once publicly as well as referred a high dollar case to his office after my word that he was to trust with their 5,000.00, was the absolute rudest. He was quick with me and said I can't give you any advice, and I don't represent cases like this. Then hung up. Didn't even offer advice or guide me to who can help. So, I, too, had to make the scary decision to get one who I had no knowledge of and I was terrified of choosing a bad attorney. So, I spoke with several of my friends and acquaintances around town and Unruh I heard often, and if they had him, they loved him, and those who were up against him, said they lost. So, I called prepared to leave a message and a gentleman answered the phone and I couldn't believe I just got straight to him! So I tried to as quickly as possible facts only as well as my thorough documentation and evidence, and he simply said that I would be wasting a neck of a lot of money on this to hire someone...so I asked eagerly, so that means you would be willing to take on such a case??! He said yes, then he asked me a few questions to determine my knowledge of what all was expected of me. I told him that I wanted to represent myself as I had prior paralegal experience in Atlanta, but it was extremely important for three reasons to have an attorney. Then one concern at a time, as I wrote step by step instruction carefully, he told me how to handle it, but by bit, each need, all by myself. Well I told him I would do my very best, but I felt like the demand letter would get laughed at coming from me, then he helped me through,and I did EXACTLY AS HE ADVISED me, and I absolutely was so prepared, had all my ducks in a row, and easily and confidently won my case hands down and it felt like a movie script because everything just fell into place so smoothly, so I never had the time to get nervous or mess up a statement. Of everyone I called, and I didn't even mention those that didn't even bother to respond, he not only gave a free consultation immediately, he gave me very expensive legal advice so thorough that I won. He never asked for a dime, and he didn't know who I was in the slightest yet still gave me his full attention, time and concern. So, I surprised him with flower and gift delivery with a sincere thank you card!!
