    This firm gave new meaning to the words "we will fight for you" as they poured hours upon hours into pursuing justice for me in my IUL case. They did not stop fighting even when I gave up hope of any recovery. That determination paid off and my investment was recovered. I know you can trust them to fight just as hard for you!

    It's hard to believe that we were victims of a financial scam. We trusted our financial planner and had it not been for the excellent job Rikard & Protopapas did, we would never have been able to recover any funds from that horrible time. They worked tirelessly to overcome so many obstacles and legal hassles. We are so thankful for their tenaciousness and resourcefulness in getting this lawsuit ended so that we could recover funds that we lost through this IUL debacle. They are the best at what they do and we are so grateful for them.

    I have heard great things about this firm. I have interacted with there, paralegal Zoe Anderson numerous times and she is a great asset to this firm. I'd recommend them to anyone. 5 star...

    My mother has a clear case of medical neglect and delay of care and my case was denied because Charles Usry didn't want to out the money or time into the case. The nursing home was found negligent by DHEC and will be going to the federal level. Furthermore his medical expert is a nurse. You can become an RN with a two year degree. He's not even using a physician as a medical expert. Now I have to rush and try and find an attorney that will take the case. Absolute laziness and unwillingness to actually work for a case!!!

    Delores, their administrative assistant, is ableist. I contacted them to see if they could help me, and while on the phone gathering info, I disclosed I am disabled and needed more time to get the info they wanted. She told me I could email it to her and sent me an intake form thing. Then, she sent me a response saying they will not take me on because I hadn't replied yet. She tried to cite statute of limitations for her reason for doing so. No. There is no statute that is forcing you to deny extra time for disabled people to fill out your intake forms. That is an excuse and a poor one. The case I would have been asking about is directly related to me becoming disabled. But their office couldnt even be bothered to listen to me say I needed more time AND when told this, Delores blamed me instead of admitting the office uses ableist policies and she didnt care to remember who I was or what I already told her. Do not hire ableist lawyers. They will not help you. They will work against you like this.

    Do not waste your time giving your personal information to Dolores and explaining your case unless it involves personal injury. She will just make you explain your whole situation and then tell you that she'll get back to you, but she's already telling you that they only do personal injury. She did that with me, and I asked her why she didn't tell me that before wasting my time. She said, oh, because sometimes we can do other cases, so I'll let you know but send you recommendations if we can't do it. RIIIIGHT. Well, the next day, she sent me an impersonal canned email, without even her name on it, stating that they could not take my case. I already knew that. So why not be honest and upfront from the minute I told you what it was about? So disrespectful and unprofessional! I'm so glad I'm not dealing with this law firm because if they can't even handle intake professionally and with respect, then I want nothing to do with them. Oh, and her "recommendations" were just basically contact the SC Bar Referral Service (something anyone can find with a 2-second Google search), so they can charge you for a consultation/rejection for $50. Thanks, Dolores, but I can get that for free, like I did with you.
