Complaint Review: Godsey Martin Law Firm

 A few months after my son passed in 2008 I sat down with Justin Martin and one of his glaring associates. Mr. Martin held my hand and promised an investigation that will result in asnwers after I explained to him the events leading up to and following my sons unexplained death.

He was 4 months and 19 days old, died at his care givers home according to the statemtns I got frm EMS and their report he had been gone for at least 3 hours. She never called 911, untill a family memer of hers stopped my the home no one had called 911 or performed CPR. Even the Dr. explained he was long gone before arriving to the hospital. I couldn't enter the room at the ER, they said "family only and theres already too many people in there) I responded with I'M THE ONLY FAMILY HERE, THAT'S MY SON! Come to find out she called her siblings before even calling me to leave work & see about him. The only one who questioned her was the Medical Examiner, no law enforcement. Needless to say once the funneral passed & I came to some sort of normalcy and had a sense of what was going on, I started asking EVERYONE questions. Once she found this out she fled the state, leaving a fully furnished appartment and a few of her 5 children behind.

There was also the situation with his Dr. Joselita Rodriguez, he was only 4 months old and you see this could never be a SIDS case becuase I had taken him to the hospital 5 times in the last month of him living and complained about his breathing. She gave him medicine for astmah (later found out he never had astmah) also for Bronchitis and I demanded exrays and he didn't have that either. Unfortunatly then I was a single mother at 21 and he was on Medicaid; so this is the care you get. Though the Dr. came on the list from the nursery when he was born as one of the top docs in that area, she had prescribed him a total on 9 drugs to take simuntaniosuly up untill the day before he died. YES, I had taken hiim to her the afteroon befor he dies & she told me "It's just something in that air, it will pass". But when the medical Examiner called her for his records, her office repeatedly told her he was never a patient there & they had no info on him. My mother in her state of shock had to walk in ther & demand them herself!

So weeks turned into months, and months turned into years....no phone calls form these attourneys...I was only ever allowed to leave messages. They were also working on a case for a car accident that involved my mother and when they called her to suggest more treatment for her back she told them she wouldn't do antoher thing for them untill they gave me some information on my case. They confeessed that my file (including all the info I provided them) was lost in storage when they got their new building...that I should just "write the care giver a letter & that should provide closure" and that there could never be a case against the Dr. because she works for the state (accepts medicaid) so its not just a case against her that I am building but against the state too and "way too much to go against".

Later in my mothers suit she was only offered $10k for the hit and run from a drunk driver that totaled her Jaguar and left her in pain....so like I said, NO justice, NO answers, JUST SETTLERS (whether they settle for money, lies or their do nothing approach).
