I emailed letter on Jun 6th but have not received any answer yet

Personally I think Oscar needs to hire Ving Rhames for his office:

From Witt???

AWESOME!!!
 

I agree!  it's inspired me to watch the movie again!  Thanks!

Maybe I shouldn't been overly concerned after reading this poster's experience in waiting for a reply from Oscar's defense team. I, too, am anxiously awaiting a reply. I sent my documents July 25, assuming that I would get a response as advertised: "Please allow the staff two (2) business days for someone to respond to your request. If you do not receive a response or need to follow-up on a case, call Oscar’s assistants (Susan, Jeffery, or Jonathan) at 516-741-3222."

I know they are busy, but maybe they need to change the website to a more realistic time frame so we can relax a bit. If it really does take 2 months or more for a response, at least we'd not be checking our email messages so often. Has anyone else had a delay in getting a response? I'm afraid Getty will be calling again and I want to truthfully say I have hired a lawyer. I also want to get Oscar paid, but I'm not sure how to do that.

[Greg Troy (KeepFighting)]

If it has been more than two days I would call the number to make sure they have seen the info and are aware of it.

Hey guys, I have definitely been swamped with litigation this summer -more so than usual for this season- and have even had to delay or postponed planned vacations. That is why we are delayed in getting back to everyone from the digitalimagelitigation email.  As Greg suggests please remember that you can always call our office at 516 741 3222 If I am not in speak with Jeff or Susan who help on the Getty Images issue and can usually address your concerns. Also remember that the deadlines set in the letters are fictitious and don't actually effect the claim whatsoever. Finally, please also recall that I am a NY litigator with a very active practice and that while this is a very  important issue to me, it sometimes has to  take a back burner to other concerns I am dealing with  in my practice.  That being said we always try to response as promptly and efficiently as possible to your emails and inquiries.

True to his word, I got an email from Oscar's office with an application and credit card form and a request to send my documents. I had already sent them with my initial email but just to be safe I printed them and re-sent them. Thank so much for responding and all the help this forum has offered.

You ain't got no problem, Jules. Just wait for The Wolf who will be coming directly.

[Oscar Michelen]

As an aside, the Wolf has the bets line in that movie, which i have used repeatedly with clients when a trial is going well - "let's not start sucking each other's d**ks just yet." Classic Tarantino

I have a similar issue in that I emailed payment and info about a month ago, but haven't received anything back.  I left a voicemail and sent a couple of emails, but haven't gotten a reply.  I'm not upset by any means, but I'd like to get a status update in case I'm contacted again.

How long does it usually take from the time payment is processed until you receive your defense letter?

[Oscar Michelen]

Hey John: email me at my law firm email omichelen@cuomollc.com  You should have gotten the letter by now. I will follow up though I am out of the office until 9-4

[john82]

Oscar - I forwarded the emails to you when I saw your post.  I then sent a follow up email to you as well as sent an email to Jeffrey.  I also called your office and nothing.

I'm starting to get a complex.

Can someone confirm that these people who have not received help, nor contact, from the attorney are now being helped?

The reason I am asking is because I am considering using Oscar also, but won't do so if there simply is no help to be had, if he is too busy, etc. etc.

Can someone provide an update on this thread?

Being as Oscar has been bogged down lately, and none of us work in his office, and we don't know when he'll pop in, you might want to simply contact his office directly.

[mikejody]

I was hoping to hear from people who have used him. It's always good to hear from others how their experience has gone before deciding to be the next in line or not.

[Oscar Michelen]

Hey one and all - please be patient. We are having some tech issues at the office and I have been absolutely swamped of late. However, we always do get to everyone's letters and we do our very best to get to them as soon as we can. Mike - the website has been up for over five years. That should tell you something.  Thanks again all for your patience
