5
Effective in resolving complex cases and achieving positive resolutions
“True professional lawyers with a great personal touch that got my case settled without problems. They have an incredible talent.”
Cons
1
Delays and missed deadlines in responding to client inquiries and completing work
“I too hired Minton based on his former reputation for being an advocate of a woman's contribution to the marriage. He may have been good long ago but now e-mails and questions go unanswered…lots of last minute work and deadlines are nearly missed…”
2
Tendency to over-litigate cases and prioritize his own financial interests over client outcomes
“he is not a fan of settling and would rather fight every controversy…that's what is best for his bottom line. HIs invoices are sky high and the results are underwhelming.”
3
Questionable billing practices, including failure to invoice in a timely manner and attempt to collect unauthorized fees
“After having been handed off to one associate/intern after another, re-telling my story, re-writing the emails of concern, reiterating the desired outcomes, and petitioning to correct the errors made by Minton's associates - I should not have been surprised, but was instead knocked shell-shocked by the VERY first account invoice I received - yes 8 months AFTER I agreed to go into debt $5,000 and no more... for another $9000 dollars.”
4
Lack of transparency and accountability in handling client funds and legal proceedings
“He also had me pay for the appraisals and other expenses along the way and kept the retainer. Do not trust this attorney with anything!”
5
Potential for malpractice and mishandling of client cases, leading to unfavorable outcomes
“The outcome was so botched, the case was appealed by another skilled attorney, where the judgement was REVERSED and REMANDED for retrial. In the process, however, Mr. Minton took my equity and I am without representation for a retrial.”
