Early in December of 2012, I sent the following message to the only email address I could find associated with the @FloridaLegal Twitter account. It was a shot in the dark, but I tried regardless. I never received a reply. From: Gagne, David To: jeffrey.kuntz@gray-robinson.com Subject: Twitter Sent: December 5, 2012 11:54 AM Hello, […]
On my way to work on the morning of December 4th, 2012, I tried calling Dr. Barbara Wolf, the District Five Medical Examiner. I wanted to see if she had heard from attorney Steve Phillips, since I have not had any communication with him since an email he sent me on November 8th. The woman […]
I tried calling my lawyer, Steve Phillips, of Pincus & Currier, LLP, again on the morning of December 4th, 2012. He did not return the voice mail I left him on the 3rd, and even after two voice mails and multiple emails, I have not heard from him in almost a full month now. He […]
Despite repeated emails and at least one voice mail, I haven’t heard from our lawyer, Steve Phillips, of Pincus & Currier, LLP, in well over three weeks now. I called him again on the morning of December 3rd, 2012 while driving to work and left him another voice mail expressing my concern about his lack […]
Just before lunch on November 30th, 2012, I sent the following email to Steve Phillips, my attorney: Dear Steve, I’m starting to get very concerned. I haven’t heard from you in over three weeks, though I’ve emailed and called. Is something wrong? Dr. Wolf should have received the final payment for the autopsy today, […]
By the end of November 2012, three and a half months after mom died, I was completely fed up with the lack of communication between me and my lawyer. Finding a lawyer willing to handle the case in the first place was like pulling teeth, and now that I was back in Los Angeles it […]
I called Steve Phillips on the morning of November 26th, 2012 while driving to work. He didn’t answer the phone, so I left him a voice mail asking him to return my call. I said that I was just looking for any kind of update on what is happening, and I left him my phone […]
Today is our first Thanksgiving without mom. One Thanksgiving twenty years ago — maybe twenty-five? — she made a batch of amazing candied yams. I think she screwed up the recipe somehow, added too much brown sugar or left them in the oven too long, something like that. I thought they were the best thing […]
Mom went back to college in 1994, and received a BA from the University of Central Florida in 1998 at the age of fifty. She was justifiably quite proud of this accomplishment, and my sister and I were very proud of her, too. She owed just under $9,000 in student loans when she died. I […]
On November 15th, 2012, at about two-thirty in the afternoon, I sent this email to Steve Phillips, of Pincus & Currier, LLP, the attorney working with me regarding the death of my mother: Dear Steve, Any update? Is there anything at all that I can do to help? I was able to send another $500.00 […]
