My husband and I moved to Williamsburg, VA in 2015 from Northern Virginia. We are an older couple…read morein mid 70's and early 80's. 2 years ago we finally decided it was time to put our estate in Trust. We attended several talks from local estate planners. Met with 2 local firms that have excellent repetitions. After all this we finally met with Trey Parker and Victoria Bowling at Carrell Blanton Ferris & Associates. My husband (who practiced law until he retired) and I finally found our law firm and lawyers we felt would represent us in every way we needed. They instructed us through the process. Every question and concern we had was met with clear and helpful responses. They guided us through what we needed to know about creating a Trust, what we needed to consider about our estate, discussed our future and our family needs. We learned to follow and trust their suggestions. We hired them. There was an agreed upon cost and it was clear what we would receive in return. We occasionally have questions regarding how to handle certain things, we always receiving a response to our emails. Most recently we were considering hiring a financial adviser firm which we didn't feel quite comfortable about using. We received information that gave us options to consider. With the most recent stock market decline we are again pleased we had their recommendations. I know Trey and Victoria are always there for us now and as we age. Their age, professional knowledge and honesty brings comfort to my husband and me. I was disappointed to see a one star review and felt I needed to share my thoughts about our experience.

I only dealt with Ms. Six. She went through four paralegals in less than two years. No one would…read moretell me why. They provided me with a phone number for confidential texting between her paralegal(s) and me. Most of my correspondence with her paralegals went unanswered until I contacted them two or three more times. I was not kept up to date on my case all the time. Apparently information I gave to one paralegal didn't get passed down to the next and so on. For questions I asked, I was met with an attitude. I realize Ms. Six is used to cases that are going to bring more money but there was no need to treat me as "less than." From day one, I told her that the state trooper drew the diagram wrong three times. He had me going in the opposite direction all three times. The position of the truck that hit me changed though and they were wrong also. I got t-boned. The way in which it happened was not a failure to yield on his part but that is the ticket he got because the State Trooper was either confused or didn't believe it happened the way my witness and I explained. She told me, " Well, I can't make them change the ticket." I told her, "That is not what I am asking for. I am asking you to listen to me." I had an eye witness who wrote down what happened and gave it to the State Trooper. Her account was exactly the same as what I told the trooper. Ms. Six never contacted the witness. She never contacted the trooper. I think it would have been helpful to ask the trooper for the written statement from the witness. When the other driver had his hearing for his ticket, I was told by her first paralegal to meet Ms. Six at the court house. I called that paralegal once I got there. I asked her where to meet Ms. Six. She said, "Oh, she's not there." I asked her why she told me Ms. Six would meet me. She didn't have an intelligible response. Ms. Six belittled me. I have physical and mental impairments. Apparently she believes those are good reasons to treat me the way she did. I would have gotten another attorney if I had known I was going to be treated like this. If she didn't want a small case, she shouldn't have taken it. It got to the point where I would not see her in person. I would not have a video meeting with her. She was cruel enough just over the phone so I limited that. She tried to make me feel badly about myself. I didn't before and I don't now. Maybe she'll realize that trying to make others hate themselves is not the solution to making people love themselves. I'll keep her current paralegal and future ones in my thoughts. I hope someday someone stands up to her. I didn't because my inner peace is more important. I hope to never see her or hear from her again.

Yes defend myself. She wasn't able to review the information I had for her prior so we both looked like idiots compared to the other well prepared attorney.

She apparently has too many cases & not enough time. Always an excuses as to why she couldn't meet with me although I was still paying her to represent me.

We had swapped from another attorney, also known in the area, to try a chance with Mr. Pugh after using the services of his partner, Mr. Karpov (who's equally impressive), and it was the best decision we could have made. Our previous lawyer was very hesitant and submissive in their advice to us each time an issue occurred which was frustrating. In contrary, Mr. Pugh was straight to the point and confident while seamlessly rolling with the punches in action. He advised us realistically and in a style that matched my husband's needs and made us feel secure walking into the court. Mr. Pugh won our case, allowing our family to move on from stressful times in a fair but satisfactory manner.
