Dear Cesar,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience with DLG was not satisfactory. Unfortunately, this seems to be largely a matter of miscommunication — specifically managing your expectations.
Per the pictures you sent that are in your file, you suffered an approximately half-inch (1/2) cut/nick to your pinky finger from the dog bite. We took on your case hoping to get you some financial compensation for the incident, but had no way of knowing that the dog owners did not actually have insurance when we filed the claim on your behalf (that is, unfortunately, how the civil law process works). Additionally, we had no way of anticipating that they would hire a defense lawyer.
As a result, the settlement offer we received was below the at least "$40,000” you indicated per your Yelp review that you were expecting. In fairness, we probably should have managed your expectations from the outset given the severity of your injury. But when we attempted to explain that small claims court would be your best option if you wanted to try and recover more than what the defense lawyer offered as a settlement, you became angry, excoriated our attorney over the phone, and then left your negative review. Again, we are sorry that this experience was not what you hoped for and that your expectations were not better managed. But please note that small claims court continues to be the best option for you, and we have forwarded your file to you as requested. We wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
The DLG Team
