Let's make a mess!· via Google
Their secretary lied about me causing me to lose the service of my attorney. Absolutely horrible. Would not ever recommend them as their staff is disshonest. Refused to validate with their security cameras.

I spoke with an attorney here previously about what it would take to have them represent me but couldn't afford to move forward at the time. After saving up, I reached back out and then waited 8 days for a response. That delay cost me valuable time on my situation. Since things had escalated quickly. When I finally heard back was told they had "reviewed" my case and didn't have time to take it. So many different circumstances had changed that were essentially important in my case . It doesn't make sense that they had reviewed it because I was never given the opportunity to explain my situation or provide any details before that decision was made. There was nothing to review. The whole experience felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially after I made the effort to come back once I was financially able to proceed.
