Ms. Saraniti is a very detail oriented attorney who performs collections for our organization. Ms. Saraniti has been able to collect a significant amount of funds that had moved to collections for our Homeowners' Associations allowing the HOAs to minimize their bad debt each year. We are pleased to work with her as we know her involvement in Community Association Institute keeps her on top of any legislative concerns and case law precedents. In turn, this enables us to be on the forefront of HOA collections.

Casey threatened our management firm after notifying a venue not to book our client without our permission. The threats of a lawsuit trying to coerce us to remove a negative review caused us great harm of free speech. We told them all was needed was a simple confirmation of our notification to their client but instead they persisted in strong arming tactics to try and intimidate us.
Very unpleasant and unwanted communication

Felt overwhelmed about speaking with this attorney. I needed some legal and being from South America, it was very nerve racking trying to explain my situation to this woman. I felt ignored and patronized as though I was a child. I did not feel I could trust this persons ability in understanding and relaying my situation in court.

We used him for a probate. from start to finish it took much longer than it should have because Mr. Frishman, kept "going to trial" and never had time for us. when we would call would would leave messages with a secretary but were not sure if he got them. If he returned the call they were curt and he would say he does not do business by phone, and would reply to the emails the same way. yet when we made appts. found it very easy to cancel for other commitments.

THIS 'LAWYER' REPRESENTED ME IN 1978 WHEN I WAS A YOUNG TEENAGER OF 18 YRS OF AGE. ALTHOUGH I RECEIVED A COURT ORDER GRANTING A NEW TRIAL AND DISMSSING ALL CHARGES, VOSS NEVER FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH THE EXPUNCTION THAT WAS MANDATED BY THE COURT. AS A RESULT, NOW 31 YEARS LATER, I AM HAVING TO FILE THE EXPUNGEMENT PROCEEDING MYSELF. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT VOSS AND HE SIMPLY BLEW ME OFF. IN SPITE OF VOSS' FAILURE TO DO HIS JOB, I BECAME A SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL PLANNER AND AM WORKING ON MY MASTER'S DEGREE TODAY, AND HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED BUSINESS OWNER FOR 20 YEARS NOW IN HOUSTON. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY AS HE DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAST ACTIONS, TO REMEDY ERRORS.

This attorney has serious ethical issues! She failed to serve us with documents! We were never able to respond without knowledge of her court actions against us! We have called several times after we got a garnishment and she ignores us and hangs up on us. DO NOT ever use her for any services.

I had the horrible pleasure of coming in contact with Mr. Edmond O'suji through a referral. In all my years I never seen such fraud, deceit and misrepresentation so much before in my life. This attorney has been deemed negligent, he failed to allow or advise me on proper process or ethical process of my case, he accepted a plea without my knowledge, he entered into a financial arrangement regarding my case without communicating anything to me. As a result my integrity and my case has been compromised. Future word of advice to any future prospects that are considering retaining this gentleman. Please do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache of dealing with dishonest attorney that will make provisions and accept pleas without your knowledge. He does not care about the consumer and has been known to misinform clients for his own gain.

Once Mr. Rossi found out I was a member of the Texas Legal Protection Plan he was no longer interested in representing me. He is listed on TLPP's website as a provider of legal services to their members.

Dishonest, manipulative, low professional standards. Bad manners in the Court room. Lacking of understanding and consideration of other people’s opinions and feelings. Arrogant. Takes advantage of other to achieve
his own goals. He doesn’t even deserve a star. Does not send documents properly and that
jeopardize the case.
His office clerk is rude
Would NOT recommend to anyone!!!!!

Peter Juran is the most inept lawyer I have ever experienced. Repeatedly I took him key files for the case and he lost them or misplaced them. He could not keep up with the files of the case much less have any comprehension of the case!e

Hired to resolve a business problem and she fumbled royally; just let it fester and the whole issue got worse. No plan of action, takes no positive action.
Hides out, does not return calls or emails when you try to get an update on your case. Ms. Callaway does know how to send bills.

DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR 1 STAR TOO BUT THAT IS THE LEAST ONE CAN RATE!
Mr. John Trexler – Very unprofessional! Does not care for client's time and urgency. Worst experience ever! I reached out to Mr. John Trexler's office multiple times and spoke to front desk and requested to take a message for me and as they informed me that the only way to reach out to him was to leave a voicemail. So, I indeed left a voicemail. Also, called the next 3 days to follow up and left a voicemail couple of times since 10/14 and until date waiting for help and yesterday, I get a response that he never got my voicemails and also by email he informed me that he is not available for next 2 weeks and finally today he has asked me to seek help from a different lawyer. Of course, he offered to setup a conference call on 10/25 and 10/26 to talk but when I requested to have a quick call as those dates are too far out, he did not even care reply. Instead in the last email he claims that I did not avail that opportunity, however I was waiting for him to accommodate my request to advance the appointment date and help out. My tenant vacated abruptly without paying rent and damaging the house. The issue is this lawyer is subscribed to MetLife (not many handling tenant problem cases) through my employer and there are not many that handle rental tenant issues. It is unfortunate that these type of unrespectful attorneys get a chance to participate in employer sponsored programs and able to capture huge customer base with great ratings online and when approached disrespect clients by not even having the basic courtesy to return a client's phone call. Avoid this stubborn attorney and he does not deserve to be rated highly. Possibly it is all rigged and he is writing his own reviews. I will look for another helpful attorney. Thanks.

Attorney Gohil represented me on a speeding ticket and a seat belt violation. After the initial call to the office the assistant let me know all of the information they needed. I email back information requested...driving record, etc. The legal assistant emailed back telling me we would plea to IMPROPER EQUIPMENT and get the seat belt throw out. On the court date, I received an email from the assistant saying Attorney Gohil represented me that morning and I plead to IMPROPER EQUIPMENT and the seat belt was thrown out.....just as I had expected from previous emails. I got to the courthouse to pay the fine, to find out I plead to 5 over the speed limit, not IE! I called the firm and left a message. I got a call back and a lady tells me sorry for the miscommunication, the assistant that I dealt with doesn't normally contact clients and at least the fine was less...for now.

Was in for a meeting with him over a family divorce and he puts people down, talks down to people. Very rude and disrespectful. Most unprofessional lawyer I’ve ever met. He is on a high horse because he’s a lawyer and thinks he’s above you. He will try to trick and screw you out of money if you don’t know what you’re doing so be prepared if you hire him. I would not recommend this guy as your lawyer. Complete jerk. Please be careful..!!

She was to guide us through a revocable trust. We had a first meeting with assignments to get appraisals for all sides. When we met in the second meeting she obviously did not read the trust document and presented only part of the trust document, She didnt even read it with us. She made a blank statement that caused a deep riff between family members. When she was called on the mistake. She admitted she was incorrect and then stated since there was now a disagreement she should recuse herself and we should get other attorneys. The disagreement was just repeated written and verbal requests to please show us in the trust were she found certain intentions. She would not and did not ever do this. This was part of what she was to do i.e. guide us through this sad process. Her original misreading caused an irreparable disagreement that may now need to be litigated. This I believe could have been a civil negotiation prior to her statement. She admitted the mistake and apologized but still recused herself leaving us all in chaos. I believe she should have brought out the trust and read through it with us. I had to beg several times for her to give us all the file copy, which after a month she did via e mail. Our new attorney is night and day far more professional and thorough. I find Karla a nice person, but would not recommend her for this type of law.

Going through a divorce for 15 months now. Staci charged a 20,000 dollar retainer. She was very hard to communicate with. When she talked to me she told me to answer in “yes or no” to her questions. She didn’t want to know the background of the divorce. It took her 22 days to file a motion that was time sensitive to the divorce date. The motion was finally filed. At that motion she called the court the day before and piggy backed on the motion to withdraw 6 days before my divorce trial. She constantly threatened to withdraw several times through our relationship. She extended my divorce trial and left me high and dry with the expert witnesses that were arranged for court. She also did not ask for discovery that I requested through the case. I never received my wife’s discovery. She ignored requests and her duties as my attorney. She did not put the time in and was not concerned about being prepared in hopes the divorce would be settled out of court. I would not recommend her to anybody. Going through a divorce while your lawyer treats you like a number was offensive and frustrating. She managed to get me for 12,000 dollars essentially for a discovery request and filing a motion to the court in an untimely matter.

I came to Jake on insistence from his staff that he knew what the court would do in a divorce. To quote them, Jake bragged about being able to call the award by a few hundred dollars. Jake avoided this question directly with answers like, I have handled 2500 divorces in my time. My impression Jake shoots from the hip. The first conversation he had my my spouses attorney was on the topic of how much this was going to cost me. Where I work this action would have created an ethics investigation and I was even billed for this call. Another huge mistake made involved me asking if working OT would affect the out come. Jake told me it would not. The outcome would be based on income before the separation date. Knowing I was going to get stuck with the majority of the bills I worked as much as possible after he gave me this legal advise . Jake was absolutely wrong with his advise. My OT was used in figuring the maintenance figure. In all, Jake's advise cost me close to 100K in extra Maintenance. Divorce is a hard undertaking. When confused and asking Jake questions he would start yelling. I came to him for advise not abuse. Looking back Jake offered very little advise in mediation. I was lead to believe he had my back. Jake didnt even know the tax consequence, but the spouses attorney sure did. Jake will pass that off as he is not a CPA. I ended up getting screwed. I asked Jake to get me to Mediation as fast as possible this ended up taking many months and costing 27k. This was settled in mediation and didn't go to court. If I had to do it all over I would find a younger attorney that had been divorced and knows the current law. Keep in mind all men's divorce guides state is an attorney doesn't know what the court will do is not worth their salt. Jake obviously doesn't .

A family member hired this attorney under the impression he was a worker's comp attorney and after 5 years he has yet to get her case resolved. He never returns her calls and his secretary is left to answer my relatives calls and at times doesn't even allow my relative to go inside the office. Unprofessional! I am baffled that it has been so long and he has yet gotten anything resolved. If he is not a worker's comp attorney, why would he take a worker's comp case???? Isn't this unethical?

Very disappointed in the services rendered. This attorney does not update in a consistent nor timely manner. The settlement I received was inadequate, as people usually receive more money for far less inconvenience than I experienced. I would not recommend his services if you at the very least expect to get a dollar amount that matches the worth of your situation.

I am not going to waste your time with a sob story, In my opinion, it is best to just use another company.
This rating is not rectifiable, so please don't ask again.
Rest assured, I am a legitimate customer that paid Mr. Levine for his services. They can play the semantics game and say that I am not their "client", but again, I absolutely used his services, thus, I am leaving a legitimate review of my personal experience, to suggest otherwise is misleading to say the least.
Mr. Levine did contact me to rectify this situation but we are at an impasse.
He is suggesting that clarification of a mediation agreement that he authored is considered legal advice, and I disagree.
It is important for mediators to be aware of the line between clarification and advice, especially during mediation.
He seemed to understand this point during mediation.
As I understand it, as a mediator, he was never allowed to provide legal advice but he was, and still is, allowed to clarify what is written in the mediation agreement that he authored.

I was appointed Mr Hoffmeister in a child support case in Montgomery county Kansas. Not one time has Mr. Hoffmeister returned one of my calls or tried to contact me in any way. I've called multiple times some days only to get a secretary that offers to pass along a message or she can put me through to his voicemail. The first time I called she asked if she could tell him who was calling, which led me to believe I was going to get to talk to Mr Hoffmeister. When I said my name he was in a meeting which I believe happened quite serendipitously. I continue to leave my messages and call with not one hint of a result. And what's even more lovely is I now have a warrant due to the lack of communication by Mr. Hoffmeister. I have tried calling court clerk and the child support enforcement but (and just wait this is the exciting part) because I have an attorney which they appointed me nobody can talk to me. So where I myself could normally clear this matter up with child support enforcement do not have any hope other than going to jail with one thousand dollars in my pocket (which is the bond money for my case) or just play what will eventually be a losing game of hide and seek with the authorities. And all this could have been avoided with just a little communication. Now I'm sure he's a busy man but I think we can all agree that in our professional lives whether if be McDonald's or plant manager at Cessna aircraft if we refused to ever communicate with the people we are working for I'm sure it would not take long to not be in that position any longer. That being said my case is not a one off. The mother of my son has Mr Hoffmeister for a criminal case and has had the same experience. I could go into all the conspiracy theories about how the courts do this on purpose just to put people in jail or they have some personal vendetta against me but I truly believe this is just the kind of business man Mr Hoffmeister is. The evidence shows that. It's really tragic that people's lives get toyed with like this all because mr Hoffmeister is either taking on way too many cases to ever be able to give anyone of them proper attention or he is incredibly incompetent to do his job. I do however think he has an amazing secretary. She has to be one of the best at making sure her boss is never bothered by anyone. Absolutely skilled at deflection. I've even tried to fire mr Hoffmeister and she said I should really talk to him about that and guess what took a message for me. Lol. She got me there. I mean a true talent. So I'm sure I'm going to jail over this but until that time I figured if I can help this from happening to one other person then, maybe I won't be the villain in everyones story.

I don't normally post negative remarks or reviews but this one stayed with me. On the recommendation of a friend I went to see Mr. Reinstein regarding a business issue a few months ago. Although, I knew there would be a charge for the initial consultation (most attorney's don't charge for this) I felt offended. Thinking that was the norm, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and went to see him. He offered no real options and was rather negative about my situation. I felt ripped off. Luckily I subsequently found and worked with a wonderful attorney. The moral of the story is you should consult an attorney for free and walk away feeling empowered about what they can do for you.

I asked my divorce attorney for a referral because the case was not in her normal realm of work. She reached out to her network and Mr Begley came back expressing interest. I was not comfortable with him during the first call. I thought he came across a bit crude and a braggart. He didnt feel we had to meet in person - This was a fairly simple insuance claim. The decision was made to hire him. It is still not settled after 4 months, but more disturbing is that Mr. Begley has gone MIA. He's not returning calls, emails or texts. I am leaving messages asking for a final bill/ accounting of what was done so we can terminate the relationship. The lack of communication and sloppy communication when he does is my main reason for rating him so poorly.
