"Very horrible, unprofessional service! I called to schedule a free consultation with an attorney (the lady that answers the phone is very rude). Anyways, I spend 15-20 mins with her cause she has to ask 50 questions about your case when you’re about to tell the attorney the same things. I get scheduled with attorney Aaron for the following week. Surprisingly I never got the consultation call that day when he was scheduled to call me. I sent him an email and never heard back. I called today (a week later) told the same lady I never got the call, she tells me he’s out of the office. I proceed to ask why didn’t anyone tell me or call to cancel it, etc? That would be the right and PROFESSIONAL thing to do. She starts to raise her voice and says I can reschedule you blah blah, I told her no I’m not rescheduling, I’ll look elsewhere for an attorney. Call was ended. Very very rude lady/front desk, whoever she is."

"Aaron and Rachelle helped me quickly file a protective order the day after Christmas. Not every lawyer would have jumped so quickly and gone out of their way to get it done. They have really secure systems and and a great team."
