Cons
1
Rude and unprofessional behavior from some attorneys
“He was extremely condescending and unhelpful. Instead of listening to a potential client to develop an understanding of my needs as a client, he jumped to conclusions about less important background information and then very boorishly stated obvious information that was largely irrelevant to the matter I called about.”
2
Lack of communication and responsiveness from the firm
“After contacting the office several times with a secretary taking my name and number only to not have anyone confirm or call back for three different days on three different occasions I definitely was able to see how the Company operates. Very unprofessional and a bad example for someone who claims they are there to help.”
3
Ineffective representation and failure to advocate for clients
“I had Barrie as my lawyer and while he was nice I didn't feel he argued my case with much enthusiasm and he was quite wimpy against the opposing lawyer. I felt I had to step in and argue my own case in court as Barrie wasn't effective.”
4
Overcharging and poor value for money
“I payed all my fees with them in advance so no issue there. I'm not a rude or disagreeable person so no issue there. I just don't get it.”
5
Lack of attention to detail and mistakes made by attorneys
“Tom Tanimoto was more concerned with handing the opposing party what they wanted than fighting for a fathers rights. His lack of communication is painful. I am now cleaning up the messes he made and doing a better job.”
