Cons
1
Some attorneys may not be as effective or engaged as expected, leading to poor outcomes
“The lawyers assigned to me did no research, ignored the piles of evidence I brought from previous cases, and were so passive and reactionary that they basically handed the other team the ball and let them run with it.”
2
Concerns about high legal fees and a perceived lack of value for money
“Do not employ these lawyers. Do not trust them. Your family is worth more than Barnes and Diehl. They will take your money and do nothing for you. This law firm is a scam.”
3
Inconsistent quality of service and communication across the firm
“Cathy Patton is amazing with providing guidance for your next steps. Also, I called and left a voice mail, and I was called back within the hour! These qualities let you know if a firm actually wants to take care of clients or just drain your bank account.”
