When it comes to having to deal with the unpleasant things of life that sometimes happen, it helps a lot to have a law firm that's caring, compassionate and still professional and friendly. Bhatt Law Firm will work with you with no pressure. They were upfront with their fees and were fairly reasonable. I was allowed to make payments towards the balance until it was paid in full. Again, there was no pressure.

Preston Carlisle's office has been very unprofessional and uncaring. He and his office are not responsive to questions. This attorney and his staff have kept me totally in the dark about the entire process and have told me incorrect information and inconsistent information on many different occasions. They have lost nearly every document I have dropped off to them and then accused me of not bringing them. They appear to be not trustworthy at all and their inconsistent and inaccurate information make me question how they have operated in this practice for years. I do not trust them and do not find them knowledgeable AT ALL. They have not put in any real work and I have had to do WAY too much just as a client when all I should be focusing on is getting my injuries taken care of.
Carlisle has told me to "Shut up," hes "not making any money off me anyway," and expressed literal disdain for my appearance of physical discomfort that stems from my injuries. I cannot control the fact that I am injured and I need an advocate not abuse from a person who is supposed to be helping me. I am absolutely disgusted by how I have been treated. Injured people beware! Stay away from this attorneys practice!!!!

If you want an unbiased & true advocate for your child-Taylor is not your attorney. She has denied my attempts to share concerns for my child personally with her, and she has routinely ignored serious concerns of abuse regarding children in a manner that is incestuously workjng wiyh SLCDOSS & is actively assisting in concealing their wrong doings & failures of SLCDOSS affecting children & families across SLCDOSS. Taylor is a cancer is the legal profession, one that thrives in the north country. She lacks expertise in every way of the word. She also ignores ethical rules of her profession & is currently involved in family court with my family, and now has involved herself in my families financial affairs. Save yourself & family, do not hire this person.
