Legal Question
November 26th, 2012 @ 2:43 pm

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 […]

Calling Steve
November 26th, 2012 @ 9:07 am

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 […]

Re: Status Update?
November 15th, 2012 @ 2:32 pm

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 […]

Kevin B. Wilson Law Offices
November 13th, 2012 @ 10:15 am

I found a collection letter sent to mom from Kevin B. Wilson Law Offices dated July 24, 2012. The bill is for $2,712.30 and shows Florida Hospital Deland as the payee. There is a “debt number” on the bill that matches the one on the bill from North American Credit Services, Inc., the place I […]

Communication Breakdown?
November 1st, 2012 @ 11:20 am

As of today, November 1st, 2012, it’s been a full three weeks since I last heard from Steve Phillips, the attorney from Pincus & Currier LLP who is helping me deal with mom’s case. I sent him this email just now, and in it I included my previous two (unanswered) emails:   Hey Steve, I’m […]

A Long Process
October 25th, 2012 @ 11:45 am

As of October 25th, 2012, I hadn’t heard anything from mom’s lawyer, Steve Phillips of Pincus & Currier, LLP, since he replied to an email two weeks before that. It’s really nerve-wracking to have no idea what is happening, or to feel like nothing is happening. I sent him this email on the morning of […]

Autopsy Bill
October 16th, 2012 @ 8:16 am

I called Dr. Wolf on the morning of October 16th, 2012 because apparently she was concerned about the status of my bill with her for performing the autopsy on mom. I explained that I had unfortunately completely misunderstood Steve Phillips, my attorney; I had thought that his law firm was going to remit the other […]

Status Update Request
October 9th, 2012 @ 9:06 am

Here is an email I sent to attorney Steven Phillips at 9:06 AM on October 9th, 2012: Hey Steve, Has there been any progress at all with my mom’s case? I am becoming increasingly anxious that as more time passes, it is more and more likely that records — especially ones from Woodland Terrace — […]

Autopsy / Brain
September 18th, 2012 @ 11:56 am

In the middle of September I remembered how cold Dr. Caliendo sounded when he told me that there would be no way to tell what (if anything) was wrong with mom’s brain until she was dead and we performed an autopsy. So I sent this email to my attorney this morning: Hey Steve, This is […]
