We have used the Poniatowski Leding Parikh Law Frim and have known Mark Poniatowski for over 20 years; we are extremely pleased with the legal advise we have received over those years. The staff is professional, easy to work with and dedicated in protecting our interests. Many of the issues we have asked assistance for are outside "credit/collection/recovery law" and the results have been just as successful. Without the help of Mark and his staff, we know that we would not have had the successful outcomes we have had. We certainly appreciate the knowledge and support received through this law firm.

Kimberly Leding is a wonderful attorney that listened to my concerns and was confident, positive and supportive. She made the experience one that I learned from. I have a new appreciation for a professional who puts in genuine effort as well as understands the unforeseen complications that can arise during a legal proceeding. Kimberly provided insightful information that helped me understand the legal process. She was always available and was consistently prepared when opposing counsel was not. She has acquired a lifetime client and respect and admiration for a job well done.

My husband and I hired Kimberly and her firm to assist us in getting a Contract canceled and return of funds. The firm, and Kimberly specifically, were very professional, prompt and on top of all issues that arose. I was never concerned that our case was on the back burner and all emails and calls were returned in a timely fashion. I would definitely contact Kimberly again if the need presented itself.

Kim Leding helped our family with the Conservatorship of my Sister. My sister has special needs and is not able to navigate everyday life on her own. We met with Kim who came highly recommended and she did NOT disappoint. She was so patient and kind with all of us. She took the time to explain everything to us even when we asked her the same questions 10 times LOL. Every year we have to file additional paperwork with the courts and Kim is always on top of it. If I could give her a 10 Star rating I would. Thank you Kim for taking such good care of us!!

Strongly do not recommend this organization. Attorney did not provide me any useful feedback and there were some clear biases on her end that made our conversation a complete waste of time. Extremely disrespectful.

Such a great resource for families going through divorce, separation, custody, restraining orders etc. definitely recommend! It’s also unheard of to get quality legal help for low income families on a sliding scale. I got help from a student and she was so helpful to review my case and give me suggestions for court.

Hannah is AMAZING, she was very professional, and actually cared about our case as oppose to other attorneys that just look at you as a dollar sign! She was very patient, and answered all of our questions promptly, and understood the stress and how neurotic I am. If you want an attorney that will take care of your case as if we’re her own, make sure that you hire her! Thank you Hannah!!!

We couldn't ask for more in terms of service, advice, cost, and flexibility. We had a trust and other documents that were 14 years old. Of course, things had changed dramatically for our family, including grandchildren. And, we honestly didn't understand our dated documents. We found Hannah through Yelp. She was highly rated. And, her military service, education, and community service sealed the deal in terms of contacting her.
We scheduled our free consultation and brought with us all of our documents. We spent well over an hour with Hannah where we discussed our concerns, asked a lot of questions, and received answers that we could actually understand. At the conclusion of the session, we felt very comfortable that Hannah was the right lawyer to help us update our documents.
We learned about how the laws had changed and Hannah reviewed all of our documents and also advised us on which assets should be included in the trust. She provided us with several alternatives for achieving our goals. She then committed to a timeframe when the updated documents would be ready for review.
We had several email exchanges during the course of her updating the documents. And, once she delivered draft documents to us, we changed our minds in several areas and we provided Hannah with our requested changes. We fully expected her to request additional monies and made that offer, but she declined to increase the bill.
Once the final documents were completed, we met in her office with her notary and signed all of the documents. And, she was patient in answering a few more last minute questions/clarifications.
Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing legal services. She is personable, smart, patient, flexible, and reasonable. Why would you want to go to anyone else when Hannah can meet and exceed your expectations?

We consulted with Hannah Sargent to update our very old Trust documents. She patiently listened to us, and answered our many questions, both in person and via email. We never felt rushed or "talked down" to. Documents were conveniently sent in email for our review.

If she would've been on top of her tasks and duties as an attorney, my court date wouldn't have been delayed. Make sure, you're on top of her, because she's only concerned with her payments and not actually doing her job. Can't tell her clients what they should be and need to be doing, and because of that, the other party suffers. Hire yourself an attorney that's going to do their job not stall for cash.

Having work with many attorneys over the years in my profession I can’t recommend Alan enough. Alan’s attention to detail and ability to talk family through the process, setting appropriate expectations on timelines, is incredibly rare in his profession.

I went to Alan after a few weeks after my father died, Mr West agreed to take care of several issues for me and wanted the money right then. Being distraught I took him at his word and never got what he was going to do in writing. I have called several times to remind him of what he agreed to do and each time he wants me to remind him of what we discussed. I suggested that he might want to write it down. It has been 3 months and still nothing. He seems very nice and helpful, but then doesnt follow through. Im already out 5000.00 dollars and really need him to do what he said he would do.

She was not informative or did she care about what was going in my case. She treated me as just another case number. I would not recommend Ms. Narby to my worst enemy. Not sure why she chose this profession if she wasn't serious about helping others. I feel sorry for anyone who chooses or is appointed Ms. Narby. Its said to say but the lifes of people are put in her hands and she could care less.
