Cons
1
Expensive legal fees that may be unaffordable for some clients

2
Lack of responsiveness and communication from the firm in some cases
“Be aware. This firm is completely unresponsive. They're over-booked. I'm on a retainer with them to establish a simple "estate plan" and they've not contacted me for well over six weeks, despite my polite requests.”
3
Concerns about the firm's billing practices and transparency
“Crooked firm. Over charges and incorrectly taxes. And still with what they charge they are swimming in debt and bouncing refund checks. Not to mention they buckle and dime for ridiculous fees, charging them to attorneys when half of the work is performed by legal assistants.”
