"If I could give less than one star I would. If you want an Attorney who will not look out for your best interest, file paperwork incorrectly, or not even bother to file necessary paperwork to support you etc, and still take your money, then this is the office for you. Spent 7 months with them and got nowhere except out of my hard-earned money. They should be ashamed of themselves."

"I would not recommend this firm. The strategy recommended and execution of that strategy in my case resulted in a poor outcome for me. And I am not happy with the communication I received, which was inconsistent. I did eventually switch to another firm that I am pleased with."
