"I am deeply grateful for the support and representation my son received from The Law Office of Julian M. Hall. From the very beginning, they treated us with respect, compassion, and professionalism. They explained every step of the process clearly, kept us informed, and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to their expertise and commitment, the charges against my son were dropped. This was an incredibly stressful time for our family, but their guidance gave us peace of mind and confidence throughout. I highly recommend The Law Office of Julian M. Hall to anyone in need of strong and caring legal representation."

"Unfortunately, their billing department isn’t upfront with the cost of sessions. I received a massive bill and was essentially told that if I paid out of pocket it would be cheaper. They have contracted rates with insurance companies . I can’t wrap my head around how a session can cost $668 dollars. My insurance company confirmed that since it’s a contract, that’s what they can charge. Highway robbery at its finest! The therapist is amazing — no doubt — (Hillary) but the about of money it’ll take to see her just isn’t worth it. If you’re considering this place, I recommend calling billing and asking about the contracted rate with your insurance company. You will regret it otherwise! Do not recommend this place!!!!"

"My wife works with Springfield Psychological for medication management.... Great Psychiatrist, she loves her..... but she never gets a call back from the secretary. Doesn't matter what time of day she calls, she will only receive a message back on the portal multiple days later.... hope it's not an emergency, because the secretary will not answer to get you scheduled. I get being short staffed, but over 24 hours to answer is horrendous customer service!"

"I've been jumping around between therapists here for a few years now. Most of the therapists either don't take me seriously or just don't seem to know what to do. Some are straight up questionable in their practices. I get the feeling they are just trying to make money, not really trying to help me, just trying to get through the day. Same with the psychiatrists. I had one who wouldn't listen to my anxiety problems at all (Dr. Dattu) telling me I seemed like a "pretty chill guy", until finally he relegated me to Alison who actually listens. One of my least fav things is how they can cancel within hours of an appointment just like that, but I have to give 48 hours notice no exception or I get charged. Some of the secretaries are very nice and helpful. But overall I'm extremely frustrated."

"Kevin Frankel worked with me in settling my husband's estate. He was extremely thorough in explaining how matters were to be handled. Everything went as he said and I was extremely satisfied with his work. It is important for me to mention that Kevin was extremely kind and considerate to me during the entire process. I hold him in the highest regard. C D Jenkins"

"KEVIN FRANKEL shared his knowledge of trust formation, wills, durable power of attorney and asset protection at no charge. It took two sit down sessions with Kevin to explain it and answer our questions. We could have walked away but instead chose Frankel Estate Planning for our estate planning. Professional, helpful, and friendly is what we found at Frankel Estate Planning. Kevin made it easy to understand and we had fun along the way. My wife and I highly recommend Frankel Estate Planning & Elder Law."
