Thanks to the legal team at this firm, especially Christy Bixby, who walked my family through a very tricky and sometimes frustrating process navigating through Social Security Disability process. She was kind, attentive and provided prompt responses to all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone needing help with SSD. Thank you!

I highly recommend Mark T Hurts office. I got a speeding ticket in VA and Frankie was the first person I had the pleasure of speaking with on the phone. She was so professional and very informative. Told me step by step what I needed to do. I highly recommend them and if I need any help in the future I know who I am going to call.

I ran into trouble while visiting S.W. Va and needed a telephone consult. When we talked, Mr. Eads had already researched my situation and was able to explain it kindly and clearly. I appreciate his extra effort, only to honestly tell me; I am likely best served by not hiring an attorney.

Randall took extreme care in the handling of a criminal case for my Mother. He took his time with us and explained options and procedures. He was professional at all times and kept us informed throughout the proceedings. We have used his services again in the writing of a will. We found Randall's advice to be trustworthy and we highly recommend him.

I see the the response from the "owner" of this restaurant. It's lengthy and it is also "lashing out" at a customer who gave an honest rating of their honest experience both with the food and the manager's response.
At No time was I confused nor did anything state a Waitlist feature as the owner indicates. The RESY Reservation system worked and I received updates throughout to indicate our dining reservation at the date and time booked. This is simply untrue of the Owner to state so. I reserved a full 5-6 weeks ahead to ensure the date because our kitchen was dismantled with a remodel. There was nothing at any time on the website that indicated this Restaurant was closed. There was also another patron that got booked for Thanksgiving, all stated by their Reservation manager, who called me at 3 pm on the Mon before Thanksgiving to " spring this news!"
If Summers has the caliber of oversight indicated by this Owner, then they would have known RESY was booking for Thanksgiving BUT this clearly indicates their practices of Reservation Management are not proactive more than checking the week of dining. Additionally, this Owner never had the wait staff ask if we drank Champagne prior to serving. When I mentioned a bottle of wine would have been nice I certainly didn't expect more than we ordered on any past visit which had been a $34 bottle!
Evidently, this type of passive aggressive response to my review by this owner, shown by belittling a customer for something the customer had Zero control over, but was their own internal oversight issues is what to expect if one submits honestly. Our family has been in business for over 70 years and this is Not how you stay in business. A humble spirit goes a long way as well as putting yourself in the customer's place. Whether you agree or disagree, our motto was, " take responsibility to lessen the damage, not flame the fire!"
Additionally, it was I, who told the wait staff, we'll after being seated and mentioning our "Thanksgiving issue." So, if the table had been marked as the owner indicated, " for special attention, " then clearly the wait staff should have been the first to mention something and not me, the customer!
If you dig deeper into other Reviews there are a few others indicating the same negative experience with the food.
We dined at Summers Cellar on New Year's Eve. This was our first visit to the cellar but not to Rooftop. The Cellar provides nice ambiance for a winter evening.
However, the food this time was very subpar.
We ordered the roasted brussel sprouts as an appetizer and they arrived cool. These appeared to have been precooked and then dished out without thought to serving a warm dish.
My husband ordered sea bass, which turned out bland and without taste. It was flaky and not overdone but the paella cake was described as "eating cardboard" according to my husband.
I ordered the sauteed scallops, which one could not enjoy the sear or taste the scallop due to them being served in a massive amount of nontasty "glop", which was also being used to finish another dish on the menu.
The menu hasn't changed from our summer visit. It's really too bad the food offerings don't have the quality, creativity and variety to stand up to the wine list.
We had an earlier issue here around Thanksgiving and without getting into too much detail felt the owner was a bit "chintzy" with us making up for their Big mistake, which caused us to cancel our Thanksgiving meal (only getting informed 2 days prior ). It's evident that their was not much empathy for the spot it put our family in as anyone knows that's hosted, the Turkey, itself won't thaw in two days! Ownership blamed RESY instead of taking responsibility...not even a "sorry" this happened, just a pivot to divert the underlying internal issues, which are management not being more proactive with an advanced "look out" of their Reservation calendar. A nice bottle of wine would have been appreciated.

I retained Ms. Pease for a personal injury case in July of 2022. Ms. Pease was very difficult if not impossible to get in touch with. She never responds to emails (As a lesson never use an attorney with a Gmail address). When I was able to get in touch with Ms. Pease or her ever-changing staff they informed me that the case was moving forward and they were waiting on medical bills. Finally, in August Ms. Pease informed me that after wasting a year she would no longer be pursuing the matter. I asked her to please mail me all documents related to the case so that I could pursue the matter with another attorney. Up to this point Ms. Pease has yet to send those documents (I strongly suspect there are no documents, because she did no work). Overall, I found Ms. Pease to be extremely unprofessional and I certainly wouldn't recommend trusting her with legal matters.

I was a client of Stephanie’s for a few smaller charges, but she was so wonderful to work with. She took care of everything without me even having to set foot in the court room. If you want someone who not only cares about her work but cares about her clients, I highly recommend you going to her.

If I could leave ZERO stars I would! This attorney who is listed as a bankruptcy lawyer is currently assigned to my mother in laws criminal case. I have been by his office called numerous times and can't get him to go see his client or schedule a bond hearing. He doesn't care about any evidence I have to show him. They ignore my calls now when I call cause other people will call after me and someone miraculously answers after my call isn't. If you want to stay in jail, have no defense at all, then you've found your attorney right here! I have dealt with a few attorneys, paid and court appointed, and this one really takes the cake on being the absolute WORST!

I hired Mike to help me work my way through bankruptcy. That was a traumatic enough event, but he was kind and professional, knows his business and set me straight when needed. Exactly the right person to do the work.
Part of what drove me to bankruptcy was a rather draconian divorce settlement. In Mike's words, "Dude, you were screwed."
After the bankruptcy was in place, my ex-wife decided she wanted to go after "optional" monies from the divorce decree. Because of my financial status, I am not able to comply. Undeterred, she pressed her legal council to attempt several methods to secure this extra bit from me.
Mike has handled all of these in his most professional and efficient manner. He keeps me informed and keeps my interests on top. I am so very lucky to have found him, purely by chance and in a desperate time.
I will be his client for a long, long time.
