Hired Law firm 2020This law firm was inept in handling my condo sale, and unable to communicate with me. First, two days before my closing day, I had still not received a Settlement Statement from them. I called them, did not receive a call back. Instead, they emailed me back and told me (in incomplete sentences and using zero correct grammar) that they had not reached an agreement on prorations, could not get a payoff letter from the mortgage company, and had received a low appraisal. My closing ended up being delayed for twenty-one days. Also, Laine is unable to communicate at an adult level. Many of my emails went unanswered, and she does not write in complete sentences and usually does not use any punctuation - this is unacceptable coming from an attorney's office. I also had to remind her that I had sent her my banking account and routing numbers to set me up for direct deposit. She also asked my permission to share my contact information with the buyer's mortgage representative - even though the buyer was also represented by an attorney. Lastly, there were many times that my calls to their office were unanswered, and I never received a call back. Lastly, I had mailed them a priority envelope with my original signed POA and Deed before the closing was delayed the first time. Even though the delays were of no fault of mine, and even though I did what they told me to do, Harvey refused to reimburse me for this expense ($9.73). This business is petty, unprofessional, and not a reputable law office.

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.
