If your legal matters can get in line and move at the pace of a "one-attorney law office" then…read moreyou'll be in good hands. If you have an urgent matter, you're likely to be dismissed by their office staff. Four Pillars is a "one-attorney law office" which is what I was told by the "office manager" when she explained they would not assist me with an updated trust certification document. They charged me and my wife over $3,000 for our trust agreement, but couldn't be bothered to open a document, change the dates, send it to a printer, and bill me. Apparently, Ms. Shovelin was "preparing for a month long vacation" and was not available to help me and my wife. Unfortunately, we needed the document within ten days for the title search so we could to complete the sale of our home. The office manger advised me I could schedule a new consultation in October (she knew we needed the document sooner, so that was dismissive and disingenuous) when Ms. Shovelin would return from her vacation or take a referral to a new attorney. When I asked her if she thought it would be more expensive for me to engage a new attorney than it would be if Four Pillars assisted me, she replied, "yes." Finally (and if you've read this far, thanks for "listening"), when I made the mistake of asking if they had no empathy for a a client in need, the office manager made it very clear that I was not a client. I was a former client. So yeah, no empathy. Contrary to the lack of empathy demonstrated by Four Pillars for a former client in need of assistance, we were referred by a friend to another Wilmington based attorney who understood our situation, her reply to the request was, "I can easily prepare the document for no charge, it will take me ten minutes." If you're looking for a competent and caring attorney, check my reviews for information about the Wilmington lawyer who cared enough to stop in the middle of a Friday to help two strangers.
