Reviews of Keith G. Blazek, Attorney (Attorney)

I was hurt pretty bad in a work accident this week that has resulted in me requiring surgery to repair my knee. I've never had anything happen like this before, so I wanted an attorney to help navigate the process. Mr. Blazek was referred to me by another attorney in town, and he was able to see me the following day. I wasnt told to bring anything, and this was only about 48 hours after the incident, so not a whole lot had happened to this point. I arrived for my appointment 15 mins early and filled out a 1 page "about me" type of form and the paralegal made copies of my DL and insurance cards. Before Mr. Blazek even entered the room, I could hear him complaining "This is all he brought?". When he did make it into the room, I told him that I also had several emails between the claim adjuster and myself, as well as the initial injury report. He had me give him a quick rundown of the incident, repeatedly stopping me for clarification (which I can appreciate). He asked me what I would specifically like help with, and I have been doing reading on the matter the entire day, so I had a general understanding of the direction I wanted to go. He seemed upset and almost a little wary that I knew anything about the process. Mr. Blazek then proceeds to hand me several forms to sign. One was a completely blank medical release form. He was very adamant that I just sign everything and leave everything else blank. I politely say that I had only been to one provider and I didnt feel comfortable signing a blanket form. He asks why, and i tell him I've been in medicine the majority of my adult life and would just feel better filling out the providers section. He replies: *************"I dont think you trust me"*********** I met this guy 10 minutes earlier, and he wants me to sign over 34 years of medical history, ssn's, etc.... and is actually OFFENDED that I had the nerve to question his process. He says "We aren't going to be a fit". Stands up and walks out. I dont know if he was just having an off day, or if this is his demeanor, but my personal meeting with him only lasted 10-15 minutes and doesn't speak well to his professionalism or his practice.
