Mr. Robinson has been my lawyer for the last 5 years. I have a very difficult case and he leads me through all process throughout the court system. When I don't understand something he take the time out to explain it to me in layman term. Mr. Robinson have been with me from the beginning even when I go through challenges he calm me down and tell me what the next steps will be.
So if you looking for someone that will all ways put his client best interest first and fight for you to the end that Mr. Robinson and his team

My wife contacted Mr. Robinson's office to see if he would be a good attorney for a matter involving a bank breaching a settlement agreement since he advertises that he specializes in consumer law. We were scheduled for a consultation, but when I emailed him to ask about why his initial consultation fee of $300 was so high and explained to him that no other attorneys I have spoken to or used in the past have ever required an exorbitant fee for an initial consultation and asked if he offered a free consultation, he emailed me back telling me that he closed my file because of my question and said that I could certainly seek free legal services if I wanted free advice. I emailed him back to explain that I was not asking him to close my file or seeking free legal advice, but just wanted to know if he provided legal advice during the consultation and asked for an explanation of the fee. His response was that he can no longer provide me with help with the matter which my wife initially contacted him for or any other matter. He told me that I'm not the type of client that he wants and he's not the type of attorney I wish to engage and that my question was previously answered by his paralegal. I had never spoken to or emailed him before. My wife had only spoken to his paralegal. I asked my wife if she had asked the paralegal why the fee was so high and what services he provides during the consultation and she said no. When the paralegal mentioned the consultation fee, she only asked if that was something we could handle, but she never explained why the fee was so high or what we could expect during the consultation. Mr. Robinson's response was rude and uncalled for, especially since this was his first and only communication with me. A potential client should be able to ask questions for clarification. Mr. Robinson came off as arrogant which was unexpected since he claims to be a consumer advocate.

Dear Andrew,
I want to take the opportunity to write to express my appreciation for the assistance that you provided by representing me during my real-estate lawsuit.
Firstly, many thanks to you, Andrew, for working around the clock to help me secure a fair and acceptable outcome for my case. Not only did you make all of the necessary arrangements for the legal proceedings, you even personally served the papers.
During the entire process, you were constantly available to answer my questions, calm my fears and guide me in the appropriate actions that needed to be taken for the best outcome. All the while, you were compassionate, yet fair to both parties involved. Andrew, this sense of fairness impressed me greatly. It was a relief for me to have this level of service available to me. Your professionalism along with your empathy for my situation certainly helped to relieve some stress that I was going through at the time.
Lastly you stayed in touch with me on a daily basis and you continue to do so, now that I am in the collections stage of the court’s ruling. These actions certainly reinforced the quality of your firm, the quality of you, as a lawyer, and your personal commitment to the well-being of your clients.
With much gratitude!
Sincerely,
K.C.

I hired Mr. Pavlinski to file an application for a visa for me. I provided him with payment and the necessary documents months in advance, and then didn't hear from him for a while. Whenever I asked him on the status he told me to "relax". He ended up filing my application a day late, which required me to leave the country. That was after I called him 5 times a day and emailed him every day for three days.
He then offered me to seek counsel elsewhere, and offered to refund me the money I had given him as a filing fee. The attorney who helped me afterwards told me that the initial step of my visa application (a Labor Condition Application) had been done incorrectly, which explained why after three months nothing had changed about my status and the Labor Condition Application was denied three times.
I am still waiting to have the fees ($2,500) refunded. I absolutely do not recommend Mr. Pavlinksi - not only did he clearly not have the experience to file my application and was dishonest in portraying his skills to me, he also made no efforts to make himself available or to correct his mistakes. His conduct was not professional.

Tony is a very caring lawyer. He puts himself in his client's situation and tries to help them as much as he can. I feel that he listen to me and work with me and put all his effort into our case.

Anthony Delas was such a horrible Attorney to deal with and here is why. Besides taking 2 years rather than 6 months to go through my bankruptcy process he always kept me in the dark of what was going on and what I should expect. He would always give me a days notice for meetings or important appointments which would get in trouble at work. His emails are very hard to understand and he would always have me resend attachments because he would "lose" them. I wouldn't recommend this attorney. He was such a headache to work with and made this process even more stressful. I honestly felt like he wasn't on my side. I was already very stressed and upset that I had to go bankrupt and he made the experience even worst.

In my case, the law, as written in the law books are being by passed by judges as they are pro banks. Melodie has her hands full in situations such as mine. She has found the proof that shows the Judges are in direct violation of the Law, and imposing their own interpretations of the laws, which are violating people's rights, and stripping them of their properties. Yet Melodie is there, fighting against all odds . . .

A company had referred us to her because she had worked with them in similar cases before. I don't recommend her only because she did not give us clear answers and we ended up paying her for more services because she would say we would have this option and that option if this appeal failed.
She had left us in the dark--didn't notify us of hearings or court notices. We had tried calling her to get verification and information on how the case was going and received vague answers. Because we weren't familiar with the legal jargon and processes we had a very hands-off approach and would call to check on the progress.
While we received the referral late in the case, it would have been nice to be kept updated instead of being told that things were filed or processed against us that we were unaware of. We didn't receive notices in mail or email and so we thought things were going well. After some time we'd call in with whether we'd be able to do something and she'd return saying that wouldn't be possible because this was filed against you. She went on to say this was filed at this date, but she had not notified of this. We felt like there was a lot of pertinent information necessary to our daily lives that we were not made aware of.
She would have been able to solve our problems if she had done her due diligence and gotten her paperwork ready prior to speaking in court. We found later that her defense used paperwork she didn't have and so instead, our case became a long drawn out process with more money having to be paid out.

From Beggining to end the process was a bit long but definitely worth all the wait. My mortgage payment has gone down from 4500.00 to 2200.00!! That's an incredible savings!! This will help us take care of our other obligations.
Thank you so much!!

From the beginning, Attorney Broyles proved to be a top notch lawyer. I had a dispute with my landlord,and was very unsure of the tenant - landlord laws and my rights in relation to them. I needed advice quickly. I searched the internet, and to be honest, I chose Attorney Broyles because his website offered a consultation whereas you could send his firm an email describing your issue and promised a speedy response. To my surprise, Attorney Broyles himself responded within 30 minutes if my request!!!! Without asking for any fees, he gave me excellent advice, which included quotes from the laws pertaining to my situation. When I asked him for his fees for sending a letter to my landlord, and for representing me in court if the matter went further, I was even more impressed!!! His fees were extremely affordable which also showed me that he cares about helping others.... it’s not just about making money!!! Ultimately, we did end up having to go to court, and he was absolutely phenomenal!! When I arrived, he had already spoken with the opposing counsel in the days leading up to our court date, and the decision was already made in our favor!!! Our appearance was pretty much just a formality. Since then, I have emailed him for other various concerns with the same landlord, and Attorney Broyles has ALWAYS been very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional with his FREE advice. With his help, I successfully fulfilled my lease with a difficult landlord, AND received 100% of my deposit. If you are looking for a great Attorney, I promise you that you will be extremely satisfied with Attorney Bruce Broyles!!!

Jamie Robyn Graves-Haslam helped me obtain an order of protection. She was very professional. She was extremely helpful in answering my multitude of questions. I was impressed how timely was in her responses to me and not only did she provide superb legal assistance and representation she also showed me she truly cared. Her compassion towards me and my case made going through the process much less stressful. Anyone that has her as a lawyer will be very lucky because she is great at what she does and she is compassionate about helping others.

As a long distance Co parent who is disabled and unable to travel, I consulted with and subsequently hired this attorney to do a writ of habeas after child was kept from returning home. That was 3-2016. I still haven't seen my child. She could have been the key to getting an autistic child home but now his location is unknown. She took the case, left out of the country a week later for a week, came back to my panic over new information (allehe'd and false) but refused to check info. Instead withdrew and stated they were too busy to take me on. Since that time I've been unable to gain confidence to go pro se or hire another atty due to severe anxiety and fear.

Mr Dannemeyer was unhelpful, unprofessional, unresponsive to inquiries. He had no compassion whatsoever for my case. It was if he was hoping that I lost my case (which I did because he forgot to notify me of an important legal matter)
I found him to be untrustworthy and unreliable. I feel bad for anyone who isn't wealthy and needs his help, he will ignore your calls. In my opinion, He is extremely unethical.

Used Mr. Dannemeyer a few years ago in a landlord-tenant dispute that went to trial. Mr. Dannemeyer had great trial presence, superb sense of humor, and a keen insight into the landlord's extremely dishonest tactics. We prevailed. A true professional.

I have hired John Salcedo to manage many of my claims, I was doing bsuiness with hom for around 3-4 years . I hired him again for one of my customer's claims because it was denied by the insurance company. It took around 3 years to have it settled. My estimate was for $53,482.72 and he got without never ask me $25,000.00 only.
Not only that, but he NEVER call me , NOBODY from his office call me. They have my cellphone number for so long, they have my cellphone numebr in the estimaye that they were using everytime thet were talking to the insurance company. On top of all this, the check didn;t have my company's name on it, anf now 3 months after John Salcedo sent the check direclty to the customer, my customer spend the money.
My email was full of stoarge and waht of a coincidence that they said they coudn't communicate with me on that month.
Now, I have $0.00 of a job that cost me more than the $25,000 , the customer got free money ., $25,000.00!
NOBODY CALLED ME . I would never use this firm and I'm going to make sure that all my Colleagues know about it so they don;t hire him.

I have no feedback for his work as a lawyer, but his personal skills are beyond horrible. After my initial inquiry and multiple attempts to confirm receipt of my fax, he called me and yelled at me non-stop and lied about his calling me back multiple times (I got 1 call 4 days later). He would not let me say a single word for well over a minute. He then hung up on me and when I called him back, he told me to NEVER call his cell phone ever again. He did not return the emails I had sent, and he waited 4 days to tell me he did not receive my faxes and then complained that this all would be blamed on him because I didn't send the document! (Why would I NOT send the documents and then ask multiple times if you received them?!?!)
What a horrible representation and initial impression he gave us. Even if I were in the wrong completely, this is no way for reasonable humans to act. Engage this man with caution. He may be a wonderful lawyer, but I would never trust him.

Ms. Grasso has always responded to our requests in a timely, accurate and supportive manner.

We highly recommend her for family law issues.

Sharman represented me in a family law matter and was incredibly opinionated and unprofessional. Heard more about her personal critique of my character before court than the situation she was there for. Felt like she was representing my Ex and not myself. I resent ever having dealt with this person. Clearly she did not want to be there and clearly made her judgement of me well known.

When I was being investigated by at least two prosecuting agencies, I immediately contacted and hired Sharman. She guided me through the process, and allowed me to have my sanity when I felt that everything was crashing down. She gave me the peace of mind to know that my case was being defended in the best way possible. If you are ever charged with a crime, or are being investigated for a potential one, then you will know exactly what I mean. Sharman is highly skilled, but most importantly, trustworthy.

Very Unprofessional! This firm hired me to serve a 30 day notice on a tenant. First, they try to haggle me with my fee, then after I make 2 attempts and mail out summons to tenant and submit an affidavit (notarized) to the office, the owner(Robert) insults me, tries to make excuses not to pay me, wanting me to re serve the papers again. Rather than arguing with him, I just left the office. He follows me outside, harassing me, cursing at me, that I slammed his door. I do not recommend this attorney or this firm. I had a feeling all along that he was going to cheat me out of my fee.

I have been represented by Shawn French for over 4 years on a wrongful foreclosure brought by a bank not even associated with my home loan. I am a victim of the dreaded robo-signed documents. Mr. French is extremely knowledgeable, very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of foreclosure defense. So far, my case has been stalled in the court system for over 4 years. I am well defended and well protected by this attorney. In addition to my foreclosure defense, Mr. French has also helped me with successfully defending against collection agency efforts. I cannot recommend him more. He deserves 10 stars!

this attorney has the rudest front desk male rep. He kept losing my file and couldnt remember my payments or things we talked or done even a day before. I was able to speak to the attorney only 1 time. she wasnt receptive. She behaved as if she was too important for me. her front desk toldme last minute that she said that she couldnt take my case. later i found out the reason she stated for not taking my case was was totally OFF. OVER 5 other attorneys during FREE consultation gave me better information about my case. when i called back to let them know my findings her front desk started yelling . The divorce process is very stressful and the interaction with this attorney making the situation 100 TIMES more stressful and she has not even started the case! therefore i am looking for another attorney. smh

Kathleen Donnelly is the only bankruptcy attorney I would ever recommend to my family and friends. I fell into a financial disaster over the last few years after an ugly divorce. I had no idea what to do or what to expect. My wages were being garnished and the hardships were piling. Kathy was so patient and understanding with me though the process. She was very easy to reach and answered any of my questions quickly. I highly recommend Kathleen Donnelly.

I consulted with Ms. Freel-Sparks regarding our case and felt she was honest about her professional opinions. She made some assumptions about our case without having a clear picture of certain issues and not reviewing the information we were willing to provide. She didn't feel it would have made a difference, I totally disagreed with this assessment.
Overall, she is an attorney that claims to be a very good negotiator, but not a fighter or one to take a firm stance. This is someone to bridge the gap, to discuss issues that specifically deal with special education, but feels there has to be a real need to retain attorney.

Been a homeless Vet for the past 5 years. Finally in the final steps of buying a home. (This has to come off for approval) I save up all of my money for a whole year to pay off a collection. I send the money and almost 2 months later I call Navy Federal and still they haven't sent the payment over to them. Effectively making me homeless again. Thanks for the sense of urgency I was very polite and I noticed and something was off the whole time.
