Customer Reviews for Temmerman, Cilley, Kohlmann & Norcia, LLP
-
Hired Law firm 2025These people are thieves. They know they are representing a criminal who took advantage of my demented mom and are too greedy to care
-
Hired Law firm 2014I requested assistance in preventing my sister from removing my elderly father from the bay area without discussing it with family members who cared for him on a daily basis, this was after she had taken the original Family Trust and was dragging (literally) him out the door to the bank. My phone were never returned, the issues that should have been made a priority were completely dismissed by the attorney. Then billed me $64,000. This is a true fact.
