"Receptionist didn’t let me speak and was rude. Couldn’t help me because the case was in Montgomery county which is 25 minutes from Roanoke. Anywho, no wonder the reviews suck."

"I am only giving this place a one star just because they won’t allow you to give any less to make a review. This law firm is ONLY OUT TO GET YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY then they remove representation once you question them on what is going on. MALPRACTICE BEWARE DO NOT USE THIS LAW FIRM. When asked for an update on my case after 2 months of not hearing anything, I simply question them why I have not received an update and Michelle stated she cannot speak with us on the decisions made on my case. And IMMEDIATELY removed representation."
