I would recommend Mr Lord for any business services. Although I have not hired him as of yet, I most certainly will be. He spent time talking to me and explaining some things that other attorneys will not discuss until you have hired them. His initial advice was sound and professional. The review titles used for his other 5 star reviews are exactly what I would use to describe Mr. Lord.

I'm dealing with two issues with contractors. It's our first time having to go to court. We're not quite sure if our case should be in small claims or in district court and trying to find a lawyer which handles what we're dealing with has been trying.
I'm sure there are plenty out there but you're going to have to pay $100 to $200 to find out if a lawyer is a fit for you in most cases.
Everybody other than Harrison, only would say come in and pay our fee and we'll see if we can help you.
Harrison asked us to type up the details of our issue. It was probably a good 2 or 3 page email. He read through it and called me. He spent 15 minutes on the phone advising to first go to small claims and if that didn't work out to file an appeal and how to do so.
He is not the cheapest but gave a truthful answer as to why. It's not clear if we'll need his services before all this plays out. I don't usually write reviews unless I have a problem. However, in this realm it was refreshing have somebody care about doing the right thing without taking your money first and seeing if they can help you with what's right for them.
Thank you Harrison. This is stressful having somebody like you take 10 minutes to listen and give us honest feedback helped a lot.

I HIRED HARRISON LORD, TO HANDLE A MATTER INVOLVING A REAL ESTATE COMMISSION OWED MY FIRM. I FOUND HIM TO BE ETHICAL AND FORTH -COMING IN ALL OUR DEALINGS. ALTHOUGH I WAS OFFERED A SETTLEMENT BY THE DEFENDANT, HARRISON ENCOURAGED ME TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION AND HOLD FOR A BETTER OFFER. WITHIN WEEKS HARRISON SETTLED THE MATTER FOR A CONSIDERABLY HIGHER AMOUNT. I AM PLEASED WITH THE FINAL RESULT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES FOR ANY LEGAL DISPUTE THAT COMES YOUR WAY.

I originally emailed 11 attorneys on this site. Mr. Wells was one of two that responded. The other attorney wanted a consultation fee and an additional fee for going over my paperwork. He has the caring-can do attitude that everyone needs. It is very hard to find a good attorney, I know. But look no more because he's your guy! :)
And no I did not get paid for this. He is just that awesome! :)

Unsatisfactory experience with Heidi as a parent coordinator. Listens to react and not to understand. In a year as PC she has been unable to resolve any issues and lacks the organization to keep track of or manage any outstanding issues. If you question her billable hours she will falsify statements in her motion that she knows to be untrue. Would not recommend as a PC and certainly not to represent as an attorney.

I have worked with family law attorney, Heidi Risser, for more than a decade. She is very professional, knowledgeable of the law and thinks collaboratively as she works with her clients. You will be glad you reached out to Heidi for your collaborative divorce, as a parent coordinator or mediator. She is exceptional in all fields.

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. Despite multiple attempts, Matt Malone has not responded to my emails or phone calls. They made an error on a deed, and now they are refusing to correct their mistake. The lack of communication and accountability is extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend their services—save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

The WORST experience after more than 2 years still have to beg for information about my daughter case . When I was looking for a law firm to handle the car accident my 15 years old daughter was involved a read a review from another person and she was complaining about the same thing and didn't believe it. But please believe me is truth.

Little John was very knowledgeable answered every time I called even after work hours. I’m very satisfied I won my case. Best lawyer hands down. Did not take him long either

The legal consultation was a profoundly positive experience. Micheal L. Littlejohn Jr.'s reality-driven approach, clarity, understanding, and adherence to his brand promise collectively contributed to a consultation that was both informative and reassuring. For anyone seeking legal advice that is rooted in facts and delivered with a personal touch, this consultation comes highly recommended. The cost maybe a little higher but he's worth it.

Although the results of my case were not favorable. Attorney LittleJohn was very kind, courteous, knowledgeable and straight forward.
However, I am hopeful that he will find a way to bring justice to cases that are similar to mine.
It's not fair that employers can mistreat and mishandle good employees and get away with it!

Paid 3,000 up front for a child custody battle. It was 6,000 total. Natalie was my attorney was cordial and cold all at the same time. They charge $40.00 per email per call.
They do allow you to make payments for the balance. Which was $500.00 a month.
Once paid the $3,000.00 I never heard from them for about 30 days. They did informed me that they email me but it went to junk because they don’t normally email me. But they allow 30 days to pass and had said nothing. They say they were waiting on me but in 30 days they never followed up to make sure I got the email. The assistant was explaining this while at the same time missing my opportunity to get on the court calendar since I haven’t seen my daughter in a Year and half and asking for another $500.00 dollars payment.
I had to do dispute for the funds back because they would not refund me the funds back. That takes 60-90 days. So now my money is tied up until that clears and I still don’t get to see my princess.
In short they were second biggest waste of time and money coming close to first to my Ex-wife!

Seems like reviews are everywhere. I read them to try and gain some insight from the voices of the many. Every now again, I even try my hand at writing one. Then there are the moments that it is absolutely necessary to share your experience with others and this is one of those times. While there is not enough time to take you through all the twist and turns that lead us to the doorsteps of the practice of Phillips & McCrea, PLLC and ultimately Mr. Phillips, it proved to be out of the many things that were not going in our favor, the very one thing that did and it made all the difference in our outcome.
We have a special needs child and needed help with his disability case after some experiences that we will just describe by saying that we wish they were not a part of our story. If you live long enough you know the road bends and it turns and what becomes certain in this life is that nothing is for certain.
But there was a ram in the bush and if you know what that expression means, then you know the importance of the job Mr. Phillips rendered unto us at a professional level that not only is uncommon today; but you could make a strong argument if it even exist. Our experience with Mr. Phillips takes us through multiple years where even we wanted to surrender because we had nothing left in the tank; and I’m not talking about our tank was low, I mean notta, zero, zilch! Yet if not for Mr. Phillips encouragement in the face of what seemed insurmountable, his willingness to be patient and steadfast, and his professional acumen, our path would have been altered in ways we could not explain.
If anyone may have any doubts, unanswered questions or any reservations as to whether you have found the right attorney, I would ask that you stop what you are doing immediately and call Mr. Phillips on the phone NOW!!! Not only do we highly recommend him, drop the mic here……….
I will end this review by leaving you with a very important question. From personal experience I know how important it is to choose the right attorney to guide you through legal matters that a high level of expertise and sophistication is not only required, but demanded, why would you trust anyone else in such a time as this?

Just had another seamless closing with Hunter & Chandler. This time it was for a super complicated estate situation. The communication was second to none. I've been working with Rinda for YEARS and was so glad when she moved to Hunter & Chandler. Super convenient location, and everyone that works there is so welcoming and helpful. But then you have that one paralegal who truly carries the entire deal and treats it so personally every time. Never an issue that Rinda can't calm me down on. Truly... she always makes me look like a rockstar to my clients. Thank you Hunter & Chandler and especially Rinda!

Recently closed on the sale of our home this week. Rinda, the paralegal, placed an order through Homewise for our HOA payoff and incorrectly input the property address, and only notified us of the “processing error” two days before closing. Homewise will not refund us the full amount of the first fee we paid because of the error. Rinda became immediately defensive and claimed that Homewise made the error, but Homewise as very clear on the fact that they rely on the information supplied to them during the placement of the order and cannot modify it. Then, Rinda even had the audacity to blame me for paying for the order and not catching her error. But, she’s “been doing this for 20 years” and “knows what she’s doing”, so I guess she never makes mistakes and owns up to them. Very unprofessional behavior. We do a lot of real estate business and will never use this firm on either the buy or sell side.

Our firm consulted providence Law and had a very bad experience. Lets start with basics. The law firm required basic information, what is your firms name, what is the owners name, what is the address etc. and why are you requiring our services. We provided. 2nd step, make payment. Done. 3rd step is for Providence Law to execute. Well guess what, nope. Providence Law repeats step 1. and sends you an invoice for step 2. Well, here comes time for step 3... Nope not again, another one of their representative will call you and repeat step 1 and step 2 and send you an invoice for it. In step 1 and 2 you end up paying $6k in fees. Yes, they did file something, finally they did something, a filing of about 2k’s worth. And then they send you a termination letter when you don’t want to repeat step 1 and 2 any longer. When you try to call and call for an explanation they DON’T ANSWER but send you a legal letter stating representation is terminated. LOL, WOW... I am trying to warn anyone out there..
Well Guess what providence Law. I am not asking for any additional legal services, I’ve been calling you NOT for additional services, NO sir, all I’ve been calling, calling for our original documentation but you guys don’t respond. I will now publicly ask for our original documents filed. Which NEVER previously provided, NO, NO, NO.. Do not say you have originally provided the document. That will be a lie.. after many calls you finally after me proving you never originally gave us documentation, you sent original filings. But there has been lot more documents missing. If you called me Mr. Craig Morgan I could have explained, but you never returned our calls, not even to explain why termination. And I’ve been calling and calling to ask for original documentation but no response. Legal letter you sent saying copies of our documentation will be sent for additional cost. $8k later... WOW...people this is called a legal robbery. Be careful everyone. Don’t Call Providence Law. Do Not seek their consultation. You won’t get anything but a bill for What is You Name.

Purchasing a franchise is an intimidating process. But Craig Morgan, with Providence Law, was able to walk me through the process and explain all the lawyer jargon, making me much more comfortable. This firm is a must if anyone is contemplating entering into the world of the franchise. Knowledge is power!

I hired the firm in December 2023, I was really excited at first but as the months went by I started to feel as if they were incompetent to handle my auto accident case. I would be told one thing and then 1-2 days later I would be told something else. Noone seems to be on the same page. I was given a date that the case would be settled only for that day to come and be told something completely different. It was always "we're waiting on this paperwork, once it was received it was well we have to wait for this paperwork " very unprofessional and indecisive. Going on 5 months and I'm still waiting for case to settle. I was told it would possibly be another week to 2 months. At this point just drop me and my claim. For a fee of 33⅓%, I had higher expectations! truly disappointed 😞 and stressed at this point. I feel like I did more work than they did.

I have had to deal with attorneys before but they are pretty much cut from the same cloth....except for Atty Joe. From the moment that I met him, he was easy going and sincere. He wasn't pompous or try to talk down to me. He patiently listened to my concerns and helped me to think through some tough decisions... He didn't mind sharing personal experiences that helped me to feel better about my choice to file BK. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good BK attorney. You won't go wrong.

Mr. Bochiccio was not forthcoming about my Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. Assured me that ALL my property would be protected. Image my surprise when my car was repossessed late one evening. When asked if I could reclaim my vehicle, Mr. Bochicchio toldd me it was not possible. Finally, I sought a second opinion. I was surprised to learn that my car could have been returned.

He clearly explained how it (my case) would be handled and what I should expect. I was very satisfied with his experience in this particular field and how he took care of my business. I hope i stay on this guys good side. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr. Bochicchio!

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law.
