Pros
1
Experienced and knowledgeable lawyer with a strong track record of success
“Paul is the WORST lawyer ever. DO NOT HIRE HIM! He will steal your money and pretend that he did work. I've been working with Paul for the last 3 weeks and he never even filed a notice of appearance for me but then charged me $1000 for his services.”
2
Dedicated to achieving the best outcome for clients, especially in family law cases involving children
“Serena is so dedicated to making sure that the best thing for the children happens. I was going to lose my son to my husband due to false accusations. She uncovered his lies and helped me, now I have my baby boy again.”
3
Responsive and communicative, keeping clients informed throughout the legal process
“If she didn't answer when I called, she was very responsible about either returning my call or emailing me in a timely manner. Also, she kept me well informed about any updates throughout the process.”
4
Personable and caring, forming good relationships with clients
“Serena genuinely cared about both me and my case throughout the process.”
5
Flexible and affordable, providing quality legal services at reasonable prices
“I needed help with a family/custody case and knowing could be a 'standard' but long and extremely costly process, I contacted Mr. Gifford's office and he helped to through the process just like any other and more expensive attorney. You can get the help you need without having to go broke.”
Cons
1
Potential for unethical behavior, including overcharging and misrepresenting work

3
Possible bias or discrimination, as evidenced by racist comments

4
