Reviews

We regret choosing this firm to prepare our trust. It has been 7 months and it is still not finalized. They do not respond to emails in a timely manner, if at all. I question their competence, professionalism and ethics. I strongly recommend finding another firm.

I wish I had read the review from Kent P before I even called this firm. When I first called and spoke to someone regarding my case I was encouraged when i was told that I would be able to do a video chat with an attorney. I did the chat with Margaret Graham on the pre arranged video call. I discussed my situation with Ms Graham. She advised me to write a letter to my brother before I went further, primarily because I expressed to her that I was not sure how to proceed because my father is a 92 year old purple heart veteran and I did not want to stress him more than my brother had. This was a case of exploitation. My older brother had taken steps to take control of my parents estate which included falsly claiming I was stealing from my Dad so he could gain control. In his process he not only removed me as POA but he got my father to sign documnets making him a joint tenant on the properties. He has also kept me from seeing my Dad. I told Ms Graham I was not interested in the property but wanted to be able to see my Dad. Ms. Graham advised me if I was unable to resolve this with the letter I could call her back and she would file. Since I was unable to resolve the issues with the letter. I called her office letting them know that I was unable to resove the issue and upon her request I was calling back to hire her to file and help me move forward. I was given an appointent for Oct. 10 @ 1:15. Today Sept 25 I received a phone call from intake to let me know that they wanted me to know that I did not have an appointment and that the firm was no longer accepting any new clients. When I told the young lady about the video call with Ms, Graham and the pre set appointment she proceeded to tell me There was no record of my having the video call nor did I have an appointment on Oct 10. What confused me, is why call me to tell me they wanted to make sure I knew I didn't have an appointment. And where did she suddenly come up with my name and number. If this never happened why call me? I am so upset because I have not seen my Dad in a year now because I have not been able to find an attorney! I Was so excited that Ms. Graham had given me advise (free consultation) and agreed to help me if the letter did not work. I don't know how much longer my Dad has and I am missing out on his last years. I am so sad that I am being told I never had the teleconferance nor did I ever have an appointent. I was told that it could not have happened, yet I fully recall what Ms. Graham looks like. I know it was not any other firm because I double checked the web page and found the photo of Ms Graham. I know I did not make the call up. I now have to start all over again to find and attorney with the clock ticking on my time with my Dad. I am so very upset especially at being accused of not ever having had that conference call. I was also interested in having this firm handle my estate plan. I am prepared to pay a retainer and hourly fees if it gets my father back before he passes. I just don’t understand how this could happened when I did as Ms. Graham instructed. I even had to wait because I couldn’t get an earlier appointment. I now have learned I have to start all over again. Why was I not notified sooner they couldn’t take me as a client. And why did they give me an appointment in the first place?

PBWS helped me so much when my mother passed away. Thoughtful, professional, thorough, keeping me up to date all the way. Their advice was invaluable. Now, I will take my own legal paperwork to them for review.

Great place, the staff is attentive and professional. After looking almost everywhere, I have found that the legal staff here is responsible, caring, and willing to take the upper ground when addressing issues, even when I felt I was in the right they were able to help me understand bith sides of the issue and if I was incorrect they were upfront and were able to help me understand. I will continue to use this law firm and continue to grow due to their honesty. We used a GAL named Margaret, and she was more than amazing and fair in her actions and judgment.

Peggy Graham represented us during a very difficult time in our lives and she was compassionate, knowledgeable, and very professional, despite dealing with a very challenging and frustrating situation. We could not be happier with her representation of us and we will always consider her a friend. Anyone looking for an attorney to help them navigate the complexities of the legal system would be fortunate to have Peggy by their side.

I relied on Marcy and PBW&S for establishing my trust documents and handling my estate planning. I was pleased with their work and would definitely call upon them again.

I’ve relied on PBW&S Law Firm for several matters pertaining to my estate and my Special Needs son. Margaret Graham is a delight to work with. She is easy to talk to and provides a clear account for all her actions, as well as the requirements of the State and NM Law, in an easy to understand manner. She is open and informative about any legal action required, and details every procedure so that I’m comfortable with the process. Everyone that I’ve dealt with at PBW&S has shown professionalism and support that ensures I’m comfortable (and happy!) with my choice of legal firms, and I would highly recommend them.

Marcy Basinger has represented me on two separate personal legal matters and I must say that I am greatly impressed with her professionalism, expediency of service and her ability to ask questions and make good decisions that affected me in a very positive manner. If I ever need legal advice or representation I will certainly be in touch with this wonderful Law Firm. Thank you Marcy!

They returned my call and email promptly with relevant information.

Appointment was easy enough to make and get. During the consultation all our questions and concerns were addressed and we never felt rushed or hurried. Service was great and our lawyer was attentive to our needs, knowledgeable, courteous and seemed to take genuine concern to and issues and informed us of the law involved and the options available to us. Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend Pregenzer Baysinger Wideman & Sale PC.
