Baron & Budd

Baron & Budd Corp.
Complaint Description:
We entrusted Baron&Budd to handle a law suit for my father who past away. They have settled several cases& had us to sign releases but no money recieve My father filed a lawsuit Baron&Budd to handle his Asbestos and Mesothelioma case. The first couple of cases went as planned my father was paid on those cases. But in 2002 my father told me that he was waiting an additional settlement for 2 other defendants which would have paid out $ 42,000.00 but my father was in a car wreck right after that and it left him in a coma for 2 months. I called while my father was in a coma and talk to Linda who verified that the next payout would be $ 42,000.00 but they were still waiting to release it because she thought I was my mom she told me about the settlement because me and my mom have the same name. After my dad died and we called them they told us that they never told us that he had $ 42,000.00 pending in one of his claims. They have then since then had us sign several releases but we have not receive not one dime from any of them. Normally when a person signs a release for a attorney means that a settlement offer has been received. But they had us signing away our rights to sue these companies in the future but we never received any money from the releases. I believe for over 14 years they have pocketed the money from dads case and the companies have paid them. They have continue to lie year after year claim that they never received a enough money to pay my family any money but then why if the claim is not really paying are they going after these companies. They have had us sign our rights away with due course to sue the companies at a later date. Then their law office should have let us go after them in court ourselves. But the reason they didn’t is because they have people signing their rights away and the only persons gaining is their firm. They are a crook and need to be made to give back the money they have stolen from my dad. They should be looking after the client and his families because without us they wouldn’t have all the money and big offices they have. I’m hoping by filing this with your office it will shed the light on how Baron and Budd do business. My sister die in 2008 from the same type of cancer that they were representing my dad for and she never saw a dime. This a case of pure fraud and I need them to pay my family what they owe us.
