Pros
1
Efficient and effective legal services
“Brian assisted me and resolved an ongoing tenant issue I was having trying to evict my tenant. Brian kept me in the loop with all what was going on and worked diligently to resolve the issue and stayed on top of situation.”
2
Knowledgeable and professional lawyers
“They are totally professional, timely and keep the client first in all their dealings. Joe Bellinghieri and Keriann Richmond are a clients dream team.”
3
Excellent communication and client-focused approach
“My lawyer, Leo Gibbons, was an absolute life savor. It takes a certain skill to be able to break down legal terms in ways that the general public can understand and Leo was the best. The team had great communication and updated me every step of the way. I never doubted that they had my best interest in mind.”
Cons
1
Lack of responsiveness and communication
“Never returned my call." and "Very bad at returning calls and emails. Emailed and left several voicemails with a particular lawyer at the firm. Even if they did not handle what I needed, a call back to let me know that would be the professional and decent thing to do.”
2
Incompetence and mistakes
“Got parent's name very wrong on the actual trust document and parent's date of death wrong, and then telling us, when we brought it to their attention, that it did not matter, really, and that if we wanted to, my siblings and I could fix it ourselves in six months!" and "MacElree missed important deadlines - some with possible, significant tax consequences- and then attempted to lay blame with my siblings and me for the missed deadline. Unconscionable!”
3
Lack of transparency and accountability
“MacElree advised we could not put real estate in the trust, then said, 'Oh Wait! Yeah, you can!'" and "When we asked to advance the trust alternate to the primary on the trust, MacElree said that since our parent had died, that the trust ended, and we could not make the change. The change request was due to the primary's significant stress and mental health issues. My siblings and I were in agreement, but MacElree was untruthful and denied us.”
