From the initial consultation to the final paperwork, Heidi was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. She explained every part of the process and, patiently, answered every question that I had. Throughout the entire process, she provided the status and explained to me what would be next. I would not hesitate to recommend Heidi to any of my friends that need similar services.

Heidi is so easy to be with and explains everything so clearly. She is thorough and professional and also extremely honest about what she can and can't do if we agree to go through a collaborative divorce. She was incredibly communicative, always did what she said she was going to do in a timely manner and made what is naturally a very difficult situation that much easier. I didn't have to worry about anything.

David is by far the best attorney I've ever had he is very smart and has so many clients and still managed to keep me and my mother beyond informed. He devotes his entire life to his job more than most attorneys do. He also managed to solve my case of 9 felonies for selling heroin to an undercover detective to just 22 days in county jail and basic probation with just 2 convictions. I would recommend David as your next lawyer he is the best at what he does and to this day I will still call him for legal advice and he is always right! Thank you David!

David not only represented us for traffic violation, he also kept our insurance from going up and handled due to an error by the clerk of court David took the time to drop what he was doing and run up to handle issues out of his control on our behalf. Most attorneys do the one job and then are done with you, not David! He went far beyond measures every time I called in order to get things done at a fraction of the cost mind you! He then followed up after each issue to be sure it was handle! I can't even say enough to thank him!

I approached the Law Office of Kelli Allen in about February of this year ( 2023) to help me submit my Green Card Application. I was assigned to Berna Chacon- a bilingual specialist in data accumulation for Green Card submissions. Thank G-d I was. She was absolutely outstanding. I mean truly- it took me a while to accumulate the necessary data ( necessary being whatever Berna told me to put together) and we submitted my application in June of this year. Today is November 24, 2023, and guess what- I have my Green Card Truly great work by Berna -what a help she was! I couldnt have done it so seamlessly without her!. Prices at this office are reasonable to. And nice, and accomodating people! I would go out of my way to recommend this law office and Berna to handle anybody's immigration matters. What a great job they did and I am one happy camper!

When our family needed legal help Chris Fialko and Taylor Goodnight of Fialko Law were counselors in the truest sense of the word.. They helped us navigate the legal system with knowledge and experience, kept us up to date on any changes in our case and advised us as to what they felt were the best options for us and these things made them remarkable lawyers. But the fact that they were there for moral and emotional support, more than once, makes then remarkable people. I would recommend them to anyone.

Got over $$3,500 stolen from my attorney. He promise to take our case to sue a company and every time we asked for updates he will have an excuse. It’s been a year (12 months) and no work was done, we have ask for our money back and he was failed to provide an explanation on where the money is. He said he has to deduct his hours which no work was ever presented to us. In the whole year NOTHING was ever done. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
Update:
Ms Andrew provided me with an invoice where he charged us $250 for just REVIEWING emails, this means he DID NOT REPLY, he did not do anything but received it.
Emails that he decided to ignored, he wants us to sign an invoice for a check when he is not even acknowledging the $200 that Mr River promise to add to our fund. He is also charging us more than what we had agreed on.
The agreement was that he was going to charged $250 for every HOUR Working on our case. He is charging us $250 for emails WE send asking about our case! EMAILS he decided to ignored. And unless he has a disability I can’t understand how long it took him to read my email.
We got over $3,250 for him LOOKING at our emails.
Please be careful because if that’s not stealing money idk what is.
In the refund the wants to give us is only for $375 back and asking us to sign a disclosure saying “we are happy with his service and all charges are accurate” IF THATS NOT STEALING PEOPLES MONEY, I DONT KNOW WHAT IS!
Funny you claimed we didn’t dispute the charges when we are asking you to send us the drafting work you claim you did. And NOTHING HAS BEEN PROVIDED. WE ARE DISPUTING ALL THOSE $3,250 that you did not work, you ignore emails.
I dispute those charges as soon as you sent them.

Andrew was 45 minutes late to our first court appearance. I was sent multiple reminders from his firm to appear at the correct time, and I was getting more and more stressed when he did not show up. I called his office and they had no idea where he was and assured me that they would contact him and find out. Finally he showed up 45 minutes late. I did not get an apology or explanation for why he was late.
Andrew was representing me in a tenant eviction where the tenant was living in my property without leaving for 6 months. This is the first time that I have ever gone through an eviction so I hired him. He was supposed to check the rent bonds each month so that we could remove the tenant any time they did not pay their bonds to the court. He failed to check the October rent bond because we were attempting to negotiate with the tenant. Instead he waited until November and then realized the tenant hadn't paid in October and we could have filed to remove her weeks earlier. This inaction lost me 1 month of income. He will probably reply here that he didn't check the bond because he was negotiating - but I fail to see why both tasks are mutually exclusive. I am literally paying for his time (retainer paid for his hourly rate so it's not like I asked him to do this for free), so why were the tasks I asked him to do not done?
When I asked Andrew to acknowledge this mistake or provide me with a discount on his rate for the income that he lost me, he sent me the following reply, direct quote: "I have 100 other cases going on besides yours. The rent bond information is publicly available. So, it is also something that you could have checked just as easily." If he has 100 other cases and can't give my case the attention it needs, maybe he should take on less cases. And obviously if I was a legal expert and could have gone through this process on my own, I wouldn't have needed a lawyer in the first place.
EDIT - He was absolutely 45 minutes late. To deny that would be an absolute lie. I sat in the court room by myself while the judge skipped over me and went to other cases, and she directly said that we can come back to mine when my council shows up. And I did bring this up to Andrew by asking him to state clearly (by email) exactly what time he would be at court for the next court appearance.
As for why I said "Thank you" in emails??? and didn't call out the issues immediately it's because I was afraid that if I call out ineffective work during my case, that I would be retaliated against and the work wouldn't be performed at all. There's a reason I had to follow up over 100 times.
You are also misrepresenting me here. I NEVER once asked why you didn't file the writ of possession while we were negotiating. I understand ethics very well. I only asked why you didn't VERIFY that the tenant paid her bond. Isn't the saying "knowledge is power"? When the tenant flaked from turning up to sign the negotiated paperwork, we should have been able to file the Writ of Possession Immediately. Or even immediately after our court date. Instead because you never checked this fact, we had to wait weeks!!

Service - 0 stars
Quality of work - 0 stars
Any type of case resolution - 0 stars
A waste of my entire fee that was paid.
Mr. Gordon -
It seems all your time trying to prove to my cc company that you did the work I paid for was most of the work you did, because that's more work than I ever saw for myself.... Which is what I told them, and the reason it was in your favor was because one of the deadlines of my cc company to reply to your response expired and I was not aware. As I explained to them, all the paperwork you showed them were never provided to me, and the reason I asked for a refund in the first place was due to your lack of communication, professionalism, and any type of quality of work (or lack thereof). It's the only logical explanation in the first place, since I have paid money for services which I have never received, and I have no resolution of the case you were hired to perform. Presumably, if it took you “several hours” to refute my claim, you didn’t start out with enough evidence to disprove it in the first place. And my “audacity” comes from being the fact that I am the one that ended up wasting every penny I gave you, with nothing to show for it. I think that you are the audacious one, to think that I am not deserving of any refund, because you had to spend time to manufacture evidence of your work you did for me.
Edit to respond to your edit:
I'm responding so that we stick to the facts as opposed to manufacturing hyperbole and you misrepresenting what happened, and taking no responsibility for your actions as a professional.
To reiterate, I lost the chargeback because, as the bank told me multiple times, we went past the deadline required by the bank to respond. In addition you showed the bank "evidence" of work you had done for the case, which I had never seen before, and could have easily been manufactured after the fact.
And to keep facts straight again, I never disputed the fee charged for the consultation, only the fees for the case, which was never performed. Way back I asked for a refund from you when there wasn't even any work performed yet, and you offered me a very small fraction of my fee. It was then that I realized you were not going to be reasonable and I initiated the chargeback. Throughout the time of the case I had to continuously do my own legwork for the case and emails to you went unanswered for days at a time. I was also extremely dissatisfied with your attention to my case, and knowledge of procedure, which is another reason I asked for a refund. I had to hire different representation for my case due to your lack of attention and resolution. I find it interesting in all of your responses you never claim to have represented me or found any resolution in my case. I think if you had finished the case, and then I initiated a chargeback, that would be a scam, not me trying to get some money back before the case was started because I was dissatisfied with your service. You offered me approximately a 25% refund of my original fees, which was before anything was even started for the case. If I had been represented to my satisfaction, or you recovered any damages in my case, I would have not asked for anything back, obviously. In this case the scam seems to be accepting my total fee with no resolution or progress to my case, and I find it preposterous that you expect you should be compensated for time responding to my dispute, when I was dissatisfied with my service in the first place.
Also I think we should leave anyone accepting credit card payments from me out of the equation, since you have zero knowledge of the subject. I hope my fee is worth it to you, since you seem to have a business practice of accepting funds for work not done, which seems like more of a scam to me.
Merry Christmas

Worst law firm that I have ever dealt with. I would totally recommend someone else. Southpark family law is unprofessional on all levels. They will not take time for you nor your case but will take the time to collect or ask about there money over and over. They don’t follow their own contracts. You can never get a hold of Meg and then you have multiple people in your file when you hired only one lawyer. I really don’t understand how any of them have there License to do this. I’m telling yall to stay away from this law firm, they will totally disappoint you.

I paid this firm over a month ago to complete a simple deed transaction for me. We had a call to discuss exactly what I needed and was assured this was not a problem. They would never respond to me by phone even though I was told I would be called back by the receptionist on multiple occasions. Over the month I never received details on the process. At the end of the month they sent me an email to tell me they were not experienced enough to handle my simple deed transfer and refunded me my money. Throughout the process I simply needed follow up or a call to discuss the status. I don't like to leave a bad review but this was very disappointing.

I hired Elspeth Crawford in March of 2015 for a hit and run and a DUI. I consulted with Elspeth the following Monday of my arrest. I hired her for a fair price. She and her partner immediately got my drivers license back from the court house. She told me exactly how she wanted to handle the case, including which witnesses to bring in. On the 4th court continuance, all of my charges were dropped.

My wife and I were named in a lawsuit due to a breach of contract. Our roofing contractor didn't pay his roofing materials supplier, so we were being sued by the supplier also. I hired Elspeth to handle this legal matter. She was very courteous and professional and assured me that this lien on our house and lawsuit would be taken care of.
I gave her copies of the insurance checks cashed by the contractor and also checks cashed by him for our portion of the contract such as insurance deductible. With in a few weeks, Elspeth had this matter cleared up and the opposing attorney removed the lien from our house.
I would definitely use Elspeth Crawford again if needed!

Herrmann and Murphy do a great job of managing their cost structure and hourly rates to optimize effectiveness at the lowest possible cost. I was very satisfied with their approach and could not be happier.
Kevin was my lead and Sean sat in to present a fearless front to our foe. Not only was I completely satisfied with the outcome but we also had quite a bit of fun on what easily could have been a stressful event.
If you want serious legal representation from extremely capable attorneys who do not take themselves too seriously, feel comfortable aligning with Herrmann and Murphy.

Chelsea Gajewski is an absolutely stellar attorney. Beyond being in a position where I needed her services to handle custody, it was a wonderful experience working with her. She consistently did a wonderful job informing and guiding my decision making. I can imagine it can be difficult to tell clients when something is unrealistic or unlikely, but I was most grateful for the hard advice. It gave me confidence in knowing that I was being advised on my best interests, as opposed to just being told what I want to hear. As emotionally taxing as the process can be, I was appreciative of the kind words of encouragement she offered. It may seem minor, but just hearing "You are a good Dad" can make a world of difference. Chelsea is competent, judicious, honest and empathetic. I sincerely couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Divorce is painful but with his team, the pain was eased. His rates are very reasonable and he will work within one's budget.
All I can say is Thank you Matthew and Missy with helping me thru this process.

Our daughter is going through a separation and divorce and we needed correct information on how to advise her of her rights and the rights of her 2 children under 7 ! Ms. Hartley was very helpful and instructive. Our understanding of the laws were reinforced and underlined by Ms. Hartley ! Reassuring and knowledgeable is definitely the description I would put on her cordial assistance. Thank you very much.

Tia came highly recommended to me from a close friend that had retained her services in the past. Life changes of this magnitude are always very hard to cope with and being stuck in a legal mess does not help the situation. That’s where Tia came in; she is knowledgeable, professional, and broke things down in a way I could understand them. She is responsive, personable, and provides the information needed to make a decision without pressuring to do one thing or another, truly a valued consultant during a very difficult time. Plus she has a great assistant!
I wholeheartedly recommend Tia’s services to anyone that is faced with the unfortunate reality of the need to retain them. I consider her office a first stop for all things legal so she can either assist or refer to someone she trusts and I would advise anyone that needs solid legal advice in her field of specialty to give her your business. I was not disappointed and I believe she has the experience and expertise to handle anyone's situation.

Michael Hoard has been our family's attorney for over 10 years. He has handled many closings for several members of the family and each person was always completely satisfied with his work. When my husband became ill and we unable to attend a closing, I knew that Michael would and did handle this matter and he made sure all of our questions were answered. Whenever I contacted Michael and he was unavailable, I was confident that he would get back to me at his earliest convenience. Michael set up a trust for my husband and me and he explained the necessity of everyone protecting their assets no matter the size of their estate. I have always been able to contact Michael to ask legal questions and he never made me feel like a bother. He was always patient and informative about each topic we discussed. Michael would be an asset to any law firm, as I know you have learned. He will always be the attorney my family calls.

I couldn't be happier with the result Bree from Arnold & Smith obtained in my family law case. Before retaining the firm, I was with another attorney who closed up shop with virtually no notice. From the moment I stepped foot into Arnold & Smith's offices, I was treated with respect and told what our likely outcome was and what the best strategy would be. I was kept up to date regularly and was kept in the loop on all communications. Best of all, when it came down to crunch time, our main objective was achieved. I couldn't recommend the firm, and in particular Bree, more highly.

Bree not only handled a lot of the behind the scenes grind on my custody case, but also took the lead on another important issue for me. She was always very responsive to my emails, called me even after-hours to discuss my case, was on-time to court, and her court room presence was awesome. She made my case look almost too easy, even though I know it was a complicated issue. I walked out of court with what I needed, and it was a great experience.
She was also instrumental in resolving my custody issue, handled really tough negotiations, and brought the case to a great conclusion along with her colleague Matt Arnold. She may not tell you what you want to hear, but she will tell you the truth, and that is very important in these types of cases. She is clearly experienced, and that experience equaled a more precise attorney, which in turn reduced costs. I know this is something on everyone's mind that has to get an attorney.
I have no doubt that anyone that works with Bree will know immediately they got the right person for the job. All you have to do is *follow her instructions*, give her the facts, and do your part, and I believe Bree will get the best possible results for your situation.

I met Bo as a 3rd recommendation from other attorneys. They told me he was the man for this case. I retained Bo and right from the get he was in my face honest and told me a likely outcome. He's a regular guy that explains the law jargon in plain English. I was involved in a suit case and I only had a certain amount to settle the case. His tactics were hard for me to understand at times but in the end case settled for the amount I told him was available to me. HE NAILED IT! Hard worker cares about his clients and takes time to explain processes. Hard to find someone like Bo these days that actually has the motivation, knowledge and drive to solve my problem. I would recommend Bo, and as a matter of fact already have, to anyone with a litigation issue like mine. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Mollie and her staff are what we call a force to reckon with. They work as a team to provide clients the results they need. I am so, so, so grateful for Mollie. From day one, I knew she was the lawyer for me. I went in for child custody matters and she listened and jot down every concern or question I had. She would break down every legal term in the lengthy and complicated custody order so that I would understand what was written. What I adore about her is her attention to detail. She asked if I had any questions and she would explained every step of process that she took to ensure we were on the same page and made sure that I was satisfied with each decision. She is a skilled negotiator who kept my best interest at heart for my child and to benefit me having the time with my child while moving across state for military relocation. Mollie is someone you want by your side, she is not just a lawyer, she is more than that, she has a charm about her and she does care about your best interest and what she can do to make her client get the results they need. Another thing is that she is flexible with my case, she worked around my schedule because I was back in forth from VA and NC and was moving across state during the time of court. Mollie was always easily within reach, whether it be by email, phone, or meeting. I am so pleased with her go-getter attitude and making the impossible to possible. Mollie makes things happen and I can’t ask for a better lawyer and if I have any future issues she will be the lawyer I will call. Finally , Mollie is brilliant, kind, compassionate, passionate in her profession, realistic, efficient, pleasant, and accessible: all the qualities you want in an attorney who is helping you with family law matters.
