Basch & Keegan

Was injured in a bike accident on rte (Dover Plains, NY) hitting a trash can that had fallen into the streetLate Mayx-rays and an MRI and I was told by a hand specialist (Simon Chin of Brewster) that surgery would probably be futile and the injury could be permanentIt's my right hand, I am right handed
Called B&K to set up an apptto meet in DoverAtty never showedSent xrays to his officeAsked him to confirm receiptNo responseAsked him for release to get records of MRINo responseFinally he admitted that he could not find themThis is about half way through the statute of limitationsI was hoping it would healIt has not
The trash can is a hazard because of the traffic on rte I was headed north (trash can on east side of Tried to get around it without getting hit from behindCaught a handlebar and fell, breaking my fall with my right hand
Told BK about the accidentThey though enough of it to send a an atty from KingstonBut he never showedCalls went unansweredTexts about whether the xrays were found ignored
Finally I called the office to complain to a superior) and spoke with a male voice (my lawyer, I believe, because he was well versed in the facts of the case), who blew me offWrote a detailed email to Maureen K*** who apologized for getting back to me late and said I had raised important issuesHave copies of all, which I also sent to the Grievance Committee for the 9th DistrictReceived a two sentence response attached to an e mail that basically said "go find another lawyer; my partner isn't isn't interested in this case." Too lazy to mail it, too arrogant/gutless to callAnd a great suggestion: find a lawyer in Dutchess CountyDid they think I'd be looking in Texas? Did the statements on their site about covering the surrounding counties mean anything? Did the fact that the accident occurred in front of the office of a lawyer much more powerful than they scare them off? I'll never knowI know this: six weeks after accepting the assignment and losing evidence they decided to blow me offUnprofessionalAnother telling thing: their site is littered with star reviewsWhen I put up a one star review it disappearedWhen I posted it again, it disappearedIs this the firm you want repping you when you are hurt? A self-grading pack of no shows who spit the bit? Maureen K*** boasts on her profile she isn't afraid of the tough casesThis wasn't even a tough case and she ducked itDespicableSo now I have to start all overThanks BK, nice jobAnd Basch's self serving video, where he brags about taking care of the injured? So much pufferyThey grade themselves, dislocate their own shoulders from patting themselves on the back, and back away like sneaksThis is why people don't like lawyers
