After a very, what I would call pleasant consultation over the phone, it seemed this lawyer group was going to fulfill my needs for an attorney. It wasn’t until I showed up where I felt completely discriminated because of my skin color. After being led-on to believe I had a case, one of the attorneys had a sudden change of heart. I’ve never once in my life felt discriminated for my skin color, my visit here has changed that. Very condescending

I wanted to bring to your attention a concern regarding the service at your office, specifically regarding the secretary, Maritsa. The level of service provided by her is below satisfactory. It is challenging to reach someone in the office, and when phone calls are finally answered, there is often a noticeable negative attitude.
I believe that Maritsa's behavior and attitude may deter potential clients who were considering hiring Mark Thiel and his law office. It is important to address this matter promptly to avoid losing potential new clients.

We don't know how this attorney is still practicing law.
Client has been the subject of potential stalking; being disallowed from communicating or asking questions. Allegedly, this attorney has breached "The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealings--breaching the contract of attorney-client representation; has attempted to coerce client to to sign a substitution of attorney to show that client terminated the contract when it was the attorney who communicated that he was withdrawing from the case, because the client called him outside of unreasonable time parameters that attorney had recently enacted within much less than 30 days. Attorney has committed so much more maleficence, committing harm to client's conscience with evil intentions and hate, but client will defer.
Any fees that this Guy would try to collect from client, if the court deem proper, would be "Unconscionable Fees".

I couldnt find a lawyer who would talk to me but Guy met me right away and explained in detail why I wouldnt win my case. I didnt think I would but my other lawyer told me to try. He looked over all my med info and explained why I didnt have a case yet but after I turn 55 to get back with him. He gave me papers to have my Dr fill out and talked to me and answered all my questions. He didnt rush and didnt charge me anything. It might not sound like he helped me but other lawyers had me wasting my time! He didnt.

When I hired Guy, I had been fighting the insurance company on my own for about 1 1/2 years. When asked how much the insurance company was paying me, he immediately knew I was being underpaid. He asked for a hearing, and I was awarded back pay in tune of 14,000!!. I was so grateful. Guy knows his stuff and I highly recommend him!

As soon as you walk in there is an elderly white gentleman that works in the library displayed acts of prejudice. He kept staring at us and watching our every move. When we asked him questions he was rude and abrupt. Would not assist us with elevator. But when other people of his color entered he was cheerful and pleasing to them. I will never go again

My father suffered a debilitating workers comp injury last year. Upon recommendation of friends they hired Steve as their lawyer. After the contract was signed Steve mysteriously became unavailable. My father has tried daily with phone calls and emails to reach Steve. But Steve never calls back. This has been going on for the past 2 months!!!! In the meantime everything is falling apart with my father's case, hence the reason he has been trying so frantically to get ahold of Steve. If you are looking for a worker's comp lawyer run away from this guy! He will sign you up, take your money, and watch you suffer!!! Probably laughed the whole way to the bank!

I have a cumulative trauma injury to my neck and have chronic pain. All I wanted was treatment for my injury but kept getting the runaround from the insurance company and dead end visits to their preferred doctors. I sought out help from Steve. He was empathetic about my pain and frustration. He was patient and explained my options and help me find a provider that had MY healths best interest. Thank to Steve for helping me when I couldnt help myself!

I dealt with him during my Chapter 13 in 2015. I had totalled my my car and needed to purchase another. This required court approval. His lack of response and follow up delayed my purchase over 30 days. During this time, I had to pay for a rental car. Involving his boss was the only way I could get anything done. It was so bad that the law firm reimbursed me for the month of car rental.

First of all, this entire practice has been useless. I have had the absolute worst customer service when it comes to phone calls, emails, and communication, in general. John first came across as knowledgeable, strong minded, and helpful. That was short lived. That persona ended as soon as I left the building after our first meeting. Once he had my retainer, his communication was lack luster and basically non existent. I asked countless times for explanations on just how this process actually worked, as it was my first time needing a lawyer at all. He never answered questions directly, and the couple times he finally returned an email, they were short, terse, and rude. Because of him and his late responses, my case took over a year, for a simple divorce. His email responses were over a month in between.
He clearly just saw me as a nuisance and not worth his own time. My case wasn't going to render him much money, as it was a simple case to settle, so I gathered he dragged it out as much as possible to charge me as much money as he could. His "assistant" never returned emails or calls. John McKinley is exactly why people have a distrust of lawyers and a general dislike of them. He epitomizes the term lackluster. Do yourself a favor and use an entirely different practice.

I hired McKinley to do my divorce and custody battle in 2010. He comes across as confident, knowledgable, and aggressive, of which he is all three. However, as shortly after the case started, I found him to be abrupt, not forthcoming, and completely unhelpful when it came to strategy. He would gather facts, but would not advise me on how to come across, nor how the system worked. He would answer questions tersely, with the least amount of information possible, which would naturally lead to more questions from me. This information-hoarding created a cycle in which I would rack up billable hours unnecessarily. it also led to mistakes on his part which cost me thousands. At times he was flat-out rude, which i did not appreciate from a hired contractor at all. He was a poor listener, thinking he knew best in all circumstances what information was needed; however, his performance in court was hit-or-miss, as the only times I came out favorably was when the laws were clearly on my side. Otherwise, when it was up the the judge's discretion, I usually came out on the losing end, even when the other party had inferior lawyers. Thinking his familiarity with my situation might help, I re-hired him for child support. What a mistake. He was a no-star lawyer here, and was a complete waste of money. He divulged no information on how to present my situation to the court, and offered zero insight on how the amount was calculated. It was obvious he took the case just to bilk me of more money, as he put little effort into it, just showing up with nothing. I could have had no lawyer present and ended up the same, save the undeserved lawyer fees. This guy is the epitome of what gives lawyers the poor reputation they have, with high fees, no insight for the paying customer on how to come out the best way possible, and a good-old-boy attitude in court with no appreciation for the seriousness of the situation the the client.

Mr. Chan is very personable and has great analytical skills. He had represented my daughter in a case that her high school altered her gpa information on her transcript up to the final week of her high school. Mr. Chan during the meeting was very energetic. He had accomplished nothing but to compromise with her school administrator to help her high school to persuade my daughter to accept the co-valedictorian status they had already offered to my daughter. All my daughter had wanted was to stop the school administrator from messing with her transcript. She needed an accurate and consistent final transcript to submit to her college. He had embarrassed her for compromising with the school administrators. My daughter had made it very clear to Mr. Chan during the meeting that she was not concerned about her ranking.

Not a very good attorney as I hired him for two months and then let him go because the office refused to let me speak to the attorney and his assistant that knows nothing about the law gave wrong information and then tried to cover. Came to collect a portion after 5 years when I turned the case from zero to hero, can't believe he collected a fee after doing nothing on the case five years later. case was worth 4k when he had it and settled for 89k on my own
