Hired Attorney 2021-2023So I recommended him to a friend who just lost his father. It has now been well over a year and this firm collected all my friends valuable pertnent paper work and appears to have sat on the entire matter?At this point has done completely nothing in the case and will not return anything to my friend. He and his staffTreats him condescending and rude. And has my friends estate completely frozen. I am personally well off and are ready to step in. I am going to start by contacting the bar and the press. I recommend Stay clear of this firm.

Consulted Attorney 2020Based on a recommendation, I called this office interview the senior partner to see if he would be a good estate and family attorney. Boy, was that a mistake. 1. Cole would not stop talking and listen, which made me immediately NOT select him. 2. I was clear this was an "interview" call, not an advisory call. 3. They never sent me a bill, (you don't charge for sales calls) but 2 years later I get a collections call for $100. What? 4. No problem, I call the office and speak to the most rude accounting manager I have ever met (and I'm a CPA). She says she won't reverse the charge in spite of the fact this wasn't a legal discussion but an interview. Bottom Line: This firm is out of date (you'll be paying for an old guy to talk at you), the other partner who is now an elected official won't get back to you, and the business practices are all a scam. I never write reviews, but you need to avoid this firm. I have also heard about the local shady real-estate deals. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!

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.
