Pros
1
Knowledgeable and competent lawyers who are effective in handling cases and achieving favorable outcomes for clients
“Howard Stein embodies all of the favorable qualities one would associate with a lawyer. Not only was Howard articulate, perseverant, knowledgeable, cultured and professional, but he mentored me throughout the entire process, keeping me well informed of even the most minute of details.”
2
Lawyers who demonstrate care and concern for their clients, treating them with empathy and understanding
“Cara Starr is an amazing public defender. She made sure to explain every step I would encounter for my case, and fought hard for me to have a pleasurable outcome considering my circumstances.”
3
Lawyers who are professional, responsive, and provide high-quality service to their clients
“What I liked about this interaction: professionalism, responsiveness, value and quality.”
Cons
1
Lawyers who lack empathy and do not demonstrate strong customer service skills, making the legal process more frustrating for clients
“I had a disappointing experience with Cara Starr as a lawyer. Unfortunately, I found that she lacked empathy and did not demonstrate strong customer relations skills to build trust.”
2
Lawyers who are perceived as being too friendly with the prosecution and may not always advocate strongly for their clients
“By far the worst legal experience imaginable. If you are ever assigned them as a public defender do everything in your power to not have Mr. Lotskar or Deweirdt involved at any point and honestly I would ask for another law firm all together. These are the public defenders that are way to friendly with the prosecution and seem to advise clients in a way that benefits prosecution.”
3
Lawyers who are unprofessional, rude, and do not treat all clients with respect, particularly those from marginalized groups
“The firm's attorneys are unprofessional, rude, and regularly misgender their transgender clients without apology, which brings their attention to detail into serious question.”
