Charlie Crist's Morgan and Morgan Problem
If Charlie Crist wants to run for governor it would be best that he unattached himself from Morgan and Morgan. The law firm has been accused by State Farm of overbilling.
A former paralegal at Morgan and Morgan turned into a whistleblower last fall and gave State Farm information to investigate the billing practices of Dr. Ara Deukmedjian, the president of the Brevard County Medical Society, with regards to his dealings with the law firm, according to the Orlando Sentinel.State Farm is accusing Morgan and Morgan of filing bogus medical claims in auto accidents.
Central to the allegations: Orlando-based Morgan & Morgan, which considers itself the nation's largest personal-injury law firm; Dan Newlin, a 10-year Morgan & Morgan lawyer who left the firm late last year to open his own office; Dr. Ara Deukmedjian, president of the Brevard County Medical Society and a volunteer assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of Central Florida School of Medicine; and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., the nation's largest auto insurer.In 2011, a former female Morgan and Morgan employee sued for sexual harrasment. The employee accused the law firm of sexual battery. Morgan and Morgan have a C+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB has closed three complaints with Morgan and Morgan in the last 12 months. There is also the infamous penis incident.
A U.S. District Judge in Miami has tossed two attorneys from the famed “Morgan & Morgan – For the People” law firm from a case after the opposing counsel complained that, one of the lawyers drew pictures of male genitalia and unashamedly played Angry Birds during depositions, the blogs miaminewtimes.com reports. Richard Celler and Stacey Schulman, representing a class action complaint against Ventura Limousine & Transportation Services, Inc., were the two lawyers booted from the case. The Limo company allegedly violated the Fair Labors Standard act, and an ex-employee had enlisted the services of the mega law firm, Morgan & Morgan.Morgan and Morgan is a serious liability for Crist.

They are NOT for the "people" as they advertise! They allow their clients to lie to help their case. They are money hungry low life Attorneys who have NO problem doing whatever it takes to win a case. They DO go after the poor not just big companies. And I devote my future to expose them!! I'm educated and they will find out soon that it only takes 1 person to bring them down and I am willing to do what it takes. I have all the time in the world to be detective.

I agree, Morgan & Morgan is not for the people. They also do NOT get you all the law will allow. They push for a fast settlement so they can move on to the next case. My son was hit by a 16 yr old in front of his school. Morgan & Morgan dismissed my suggestion to obtain witness statements, which we had, in order to make our case stronger. I ended up firing them & hiring REAL attorneys.
