John was a pleasure to work with, very professional and knowledgable with his responses

John V. Rafferty is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and sharp! It was a pleasure to work with him! We will be using Gawthrop Greenwood for all future needs!

Work with Attorney Lauren A . Nehra on an eviction filing. The professionalism and speed is outstanding on how Lauren handle this matter. Will definitely work with this law firm in the future.

Emailed me about my condo association. And never emailed me back. Was told by board and management to ask the lawyer if I have any questions.... Mr. B.. doesn't care.

My husband and I engaged Gawthrop Greenwood for a personal matter and had the pleasure of working with Attorney Patrick McKenna. He is extremely detail oriented, attentive, responsive and straightforward (all things we truly appreciate). Highly recommend him and this firm.

John Rafferty is an exceptional attorney who truly exceeded my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and dedication to my case were outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone seeking legal assistance.

Was referred to Ellen Koopman by Chester Bar. Ellen was engaged, conscientious and responsive out of the gate. Although she could not represent me due to a conflict of interest, I felt confident that she would have worked very hard on my case

Cannot recommend enough! Lauren Nehra was incredible to help me solve a very challenging contractor dispute. Lauren and the full legal team were professional, knowledgeable, and super responsive. They were able to help me successfully resolve my dispute with a good outcome. Thank you!! Highly recommend.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, nothing has changed since the original review. While a partner did reach out quickly in response to that post, the promised K-1 took three times longer than promised. Numerous calls and emails since asking for the status and estimated completion date for finalizing the estate have been completely and consistently ignored. This process has been ongoing for well over two years and so again, our experience indicates that if you want a responsive and timely law firm, you would be well advised to look elsewhere. Original Post: If you want a firm that rarely responds to calls or emails, can't (or won't) provide progress updates about what remains to be done and when it will likely be accomplished, regularly misses legally and financially significant deadlines (e.g. closing out/transferring accounts, probate and estate tax filings, preparing K-1s, etc), and takes significantly longer to complete an estate closing than usual, this is the firm for you. If not, then you may wish to look elsewhere.

This review is written on behalf of John Rafferty. The rating of 5 stars is appropriate given his legal expertise, compassion, patience, ability to listen and communicate, and creativity to seek resolution. Throughout the process, John demonstrated a value of my time and investment ensuring that periodic updates were provided in a timely manner. The confidence, perseverance and professionalism demonstrated by himself and the firm's staff was appreciated. I highly recommend John Rafferty for legal services.
