I'm involved with the Androgel testosterone replacement therapy lawsuit. I was prescribed this medication by my doctor about 5 years ago, and used it as directed. I like many others suffered a heart attack. I selected an attorney on the internet after learning that the pharmaceutical company knew this was a risk with this medication, but neglected to share that information. I suffered a heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery at 49 years old. To make a long story short, it appears that my attorney has done little to nothing in my case. I recently received a settlement offer, that was really more an insult than a serious offer. The attorney's letter stated that if I rejected the offer, that I would have to pursue the case on my own, or find alternate legal representation, as they would represent me no further. I'm not an attorney, and I don't know the legal definition of extortion, or client abandonment, but it certainly has left me in a difficult situation. They've cleverly stalled it seems, as I spent a day online, and on the phone, and could not find alternate representation, apparently due to the lateness in the game. I don't negotiate with terrorists, nor extortionists. A phone conversation with my lawyers revealed no answers to my question, why did my case suddenly become worthless? Do I have a case for legal malpractice? I've been denied justice, and my day in court.
