UPDATE: In response to the owner's reply on my Google Review:…read more "You are not our client. We represent a trust and you are a beneficiary. The email you have attached relates to a prior case that was completed. If you would like clarification please call the office." The owner explicitly acknowledges that the attached correspondence in which Mr. Langan introduced himself as my legal representation comes from a matter where I was, in fact, an individual client represented by Mr. Langan. The firm's own records confirm this relationship: The attached September 2020 Activities Export shows Mr. Langan logging hours specifically to consult with "the client" to remove the prior trustee under Matter 01051-Hall. While the owner claims this case was "completed," the firm's own ledgers show ongoing activity under that identical matter number (01051-Hall) through at least May 2025. If this matter was closed, shouldn't it have been in November of 2020 when he transitioned to the position of trustee. If that client matter did not close when Thomas Langan accepted his position as trustee, when was the matter closed and where is that closed client file? If the firm maintains that this matter was officially closed, I invite them to email me the formal disengagement letter and complete client file which is documentation I am legally entitled to receive. I expect that the email adheres to my recently requested accommodation per my recent health concerns. Once provided, I would be more than happy to adjust my review accordingly. Until then, however, I must rely on the incomplete record available to me while I await appeal which currently demonstrates continuous, active representation under the same file code while simultaneously administering the trust, suggesting that Thomas Langan maintains his position as my legal representation to this day.

Chelsea was warm, while being direct and honest about my situation and my options. Not only did she support me directly, but she helped me navigate to the best representatives for the legal and civil aspects of my cases, connecting me with other quality attorneys, as needed. She communicated with me continuously during lengthy proceedings, and helped me understand the complicated jargon and insular language of legal documents without being judgmental or condescending, and without losing patience. I wholeheartedly recommend Chelsea as a first-person-to-call in legal or civil matters, when you need a lawyer on whom you can depend and a person you can trust.

No, not ever ... useless attorney. Over charges $9,833.00 for a 3 month…read moreeviction notice. Robert never did get the eviction case resolved. He was hired to file probate papers he never started or filed in any Court filings. Essick is an attorney who is less than mediocre, my opinion. I can't see how he was ever successful, maybe that's why he over charges.

Based on my experience, I would never again use Robert Essick. First, he might offer to not charge…read moreyou if he does not win, so get that in writing because we agreed to those terms and he later conveniently failed to remember that he said it. Second, keep track of time that he bills you and make sure you tell him you must approve everything ahead of time. For example, he was going to charge me for having a deposition transcribed until I stopped him. I did not need, want or ask for a written transcription and he only admitted that he was going to do that when I started asking questions - he did not volunteer that information. Third, when I agreed to a settlement on an inheritance, he did not tell me that the person was allowed to take the settlement amount out of the estate before I agreed and that meant that everyone involved paid a portion of the settlement (including me). I wanted the person who caused the grief to have to pay it out of their portion of the settlement and I would not have settled if I had know the person was allowed to take it out of the estate unless we made other arrangements (so he failed to advocate for me). Fourth, he initially told me we had a good case and much later (and thousands of dollars later) he told me it was going to be my word against the other person to encourage me to settle out of court. This is despite what I considered a damning deposition. Seems like Essick conveniently forgot to tell me several things and misled me several times.
