We have had the pleasure of working with Neal over the last few years, and have been so impressed by his professionalism, efficiency and quality of his work. It has given us ease of mind to know we have him to turn to for all questions related to our General Contractor business.

NOT ACCESSIBLE On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, I needed to attend a public meeting for the Three Canyons Domestic Water Improvement District about imposing user fees at the law offices of Farhang & Medcoff. The public notice stated the law office of Farhang & Medcoff was "accessible" which I assumed meant handicap accessible. When the participants for the public meeting arrived we were asked to sign in but there were no chairs in the room other than the huge black leather chairs for the Board of Directors and their attorney, Meredith Marder. Their attorney, Meredith Marder, announced at the beginning of the meeting, although there were only five of us standing there, that although it may seem rude, we couldn't have chairs because they needed the room for all of the participants. The meeting had begun and there were no more people coming in (the lack of chairs was clearly an intentional gesture.) Neither the attorney, nor the board of directors, after noticing there were only five of us standing , offered to get us a seat. I was the youngest participant and am close to 60 years old. I am used to standing on my feet for hours at a time, but there were 4 other people with a few being quite elderly. Finally after about 15 minutes into the meeting, one of the five attending the public meeting asked if we could please have chairs as some of us were elderly. If you have to attend a meeting at this "handicap accessible" lawyers office, please be prepared to bring your own chair because that is the only way you're going to get a seat!

Love these folks. I was referred to them by a trusted associate of mine and I will always be using this firm as necessary. Top notch!

I have an Employment issue and Tim Medcoff was recommended to me. When I called, I was "screened" by sharing the issues, etc. I was told that this would be forwarded to to a legal assistant and would be called within 48 hours for further discussion. This was on a Thursday, and MLK was on Monday, so Tuesday would be the day to anticipate the call. The call did not come. So today, Wednesday, I called them. After they found my "file", I was told they were not interested in my case. I asked why no one had called and told me this, after I was told there was interest with no explanation. It was very frustrating and unprofessional. If this is how they treat potential clients, I would hate to be a client. Plus, the consultation fee is high.

Farhang charged me 50k to pick up a case he admitted he was not an expert in the type of law. He was paid on time in full, and he missed every court required time line date! He was grossly negligent in keeping up with the case and has left me in great legal jeopardy. He had two different lawyers quit on him during my case for which I was repeatedly charged to get the new lawyer up to speed. 1000'S for his inability to keep employees was charged to me. He spent 2 years with the case and always asked me to settle instead of move it forward through the basic steps and I am the plaintiff. He never took one deposition or met one court required date. When I finally let him go for his negligence I was sent all the emails between the defendant/counter plaintiff and his poorly trained underling newbie lawyer, and in them the defendant not only admits knowledge of wrong doing by her codefendant, the Viva Coffee Zip Tie Guy, but says she "could have helped your clients case" and instead is 'counter suing as self represented to run up his bill and force a settlement!" She is Justine Wadsack who is known for having over 10 frivolous law suits in Pima County. The Daily Star actually wrote a story about her frivolous self representation last month. She self represented and Ali legal argument against her fake counter failed to even address all of it. He literally lost to a high school self represented person on getting her ridiculous counter dismissed and that alone cost 20k for no results. Before letting him go I was informed he missed all court ordered dates for disclosure and interrogatories and I was having to tell his staff what to do. Her self incriminating email not only was never disclosed to me or acted on with the court but when I called Ali out on it after discovering the email and told him what I was now having to do with the judge on my own, I asked him why it was not acted on and his reply was " that is the way I would play it"! Then why was it not 'played' that way six months ago when i was paying him 50k of my hard earned money? I am a disabled former HS classmate of Farhang in a wheelchair that trusted his "image" to be both competent and honest. He is neither. His firm was described as a 'file mill' by a malpractice lawyer in Tucson. I personally experienced this and in subsequent emails where he chose to personally insult me like we were still in HS , rather than own up to his negligence, I was shocked at his out right unprofessional behavior. He is getting a Bar Complaint and a lawsuit if he refuses to refund what he has grossly over charged. Stay far far away from this firm. Its a personal playground for Ali to play football guy on the radio rather than actually practice law. Any Law Firm that has to advertise and have open houses is not about client representation, its about generating traffic and money. 50k of my life savings, in a wheelchair and unable to continue earning, and Farhang took all my money and failed to meet any required dates and lied to me about crucial self incriminating statements.
