Hired Attorney 2024-2026I am a veteran and I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs. This has been the most unprofessional legal experience I have encountered. Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle and attorney Gregory Barry have been responsible for administering my deceased grandparents’ trust. Over the past two years, there have been repeated and concerning issues that raise serious questions about professionalism and competence. On multiple occasions, Mr. Barry has sent correspondence addressed to the wrong individuals, including documents containing sensitive personal information about beneficiaries and trust matters. This kind of error is not only careless but also a significant breach of privacy. In addition, despite formal legal requests made through counsel over the course of two years, Mr. Barry has failed to provide basic transparency regarding the trust’s assets, distributions, and financial activity. These requests have gone unanswered, leaving beneficiaries without clarity on the status of the trust or how funds have been managed. Communication has been consistently poor. Mr. Barry has been unresponsive, dismissive, and at times openly rude, even when addressing legitimate legal inquiries. I strongly advise others to avoid Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle and attorney Gregory Barry based on serious concerns regarding their integrity, professionalism, and overall competence.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
