Overcomplicated and Excessively Expensive Estate Documents…read moreWe hired Alan Dickerson to prepare a straightforward will and trust for my husband and me. Our needs were simple, but Mr. Dickerson produced an almost 100‑page trust and a 36‑page will filled with dense legalese, irrelevant clauses, and redundant provisions. The result felt like "word salad" and created documents that would be difficult for any executor to follow or administer. We were charged thousands of dollars, which we believe was excessive given the simplicity of our estate. We provided Mr. Dickerson with a Maryland will and trust that were drafted to our preference for simplicity and asked him only to revise them to be compatible with North Carolina. The Maryland attorney's documents were readable, about one‑tenth the length, and cost roughly one‑tenth of what Mr. Dickerson charged. Pros: If you put your trust in Alan he will push you through the process. Documents are thorough (if you need a highly complex plan) Cons: Unnecessarily lengthy and complicated documents for a simple estate Excessive fees Many provisions did not apply to our situation and added confusion Did not simply adapt our Maryland documents as requested

Instead, at my review before signing, he speed-read parts of them to me so fast that I couldn't tell what they were referring to or what they meant, although I was able to spot some important errors. When I asked for a copy to study, I was told that they do not provide copies to clients until they are finalized and signed. Why? Because "clients would have questions that would take too much time of his time to answer"! I lost my deposit, which was half his fee and nearly as much as I paid for the original documents.

First and foremost, it's not one of those companies that market hard to get your business. I found these guys by word of mouth. The place seems to be run by mostly family. The lady at the front desk is beyond kind, friendly, and helpful. People have to retain legal services and the people in this place take the edge off the stress you have. They don't nickle and dime you. They charge you a fair price and that's that. They also take genuine interest in your case. I like this place mostly because it seems to be the first firm I've visited that doesn't look like a "luxury apartment complex." It's decorated classy and traditionally. Makes me feel like I'm being charged for their services and not for their furnishings. They are also really good. Beyond professional and smart. They stay on top of everything. With my paper work I have copies of everything. They answer emails timely and spend a decent amount of time with you. Mostly mid to older lawyers with a lot of professional experiences in multiple fields.

Last year I asked NicholsonPham to help me with a name change. They provided me with a long list of…read moredocuments to obtain and paperwork to fill out. I struggled with this. I have a neurodevelopmental disorder. I found the list overwhelming and the whole point of hiring a lawyer was to minimize what I was going to need to do myself. I was also seeking a name change to remover my former abuser's name from my identity and dealing with this was triggering. I tried to explain this to their legal assistant but that didn't make any difference. I would have paid for additional help, but none was offered. No empathy was available. In fact, their legal assistant was rude and hostile with me, and with the friends who signed my legal attestations. My experience with NicholsonPham was horrible. Their assistant at that time made me feel awful. What should have been freeing was instead re-traumatizing.

Mrs Patrick dismissed my case intending to refile and did it WRONG. The opposing attorney told her TWICE that she was doing it the wrong way. As a result my entire case was dismissed. I had to allow her to fix her mistake . The NC bar has already agreed she did indeed mess up. She lost the appeal and Rule of 60 (do-over) cases. As a result...I got nothing- no child support, alimony OR retirement. She has the least amt of liability insurance an attorney can get (100k) and NOTHING is in her name. I paid her over 50K- she had to do an appeal and rule of 60 for free. She now has several attorneys representing her, and their attorney fees are paid by liability insurance. She refused to settle or discuss a settlement. I never felt she had my back, intentionally put things off, and was a terrible advisor. We never had a meeting before mediation, she was never prepared, and always seemed lost when appearing in court, and was dominated by the opposing attorney. I do not recommend using her !

Do NOT hire Tommy Maiolo as a private investigator, Period !…read more When you try to interview him questions on the phone, BEFORE you give him his $2500 retainer fee, he is VERY defensive and he is very hesitant on answering your questions. One of the principle questions on hiring a PRIVATE Investigator would be "Do you have three(3) references you can give me?" Tommy Maiolo became VERY hostile & nasty on the phone, and said to me "Of course I am NOT going to give you ANY references!!, I've NEVER had anyone ask me that question in all my years!!" That was the first and only time I asked Tommy that particular question. I then asked Tommy Maiolo "What hours do you work?" Again Tommy Maiolo responded in such a impatient, defensive and nasty voice "I am NOT going to tell you what hours I work!!" I followed-up with "Do you work 9 to 5 ?" Mr. Maiolo answered with "Look you do NOT tell me how to do my job !!" Again, that was the ONLY time I asked Tommy Maiolo that particular question. I asked Tommy Maiolo, "Do you have a license to practice as a Private Investigator?" he responded to me, "Look, you are asking me too many questions, you are being very needy!!" Again, I only asked Tommy Maiolo this question only one time. If you look anywhere on Google, you will see the advice on hiring Private Investigators in regards to an Investigator providing work References. This is what you will find --- probably the Number #1 FIRST question you need to ask is " Do you provide references?" "These references should include past clients who can attest to the PI's ability, professionalism, and success" "If your PI does not provide references, it's a red flag that probably means that they are either inexperienced or are often unsuccessful". "Be sure to look into private investigator's references to make sure they have a proven track record of success." "In this way, future clients can make an informed decision" Not only would Tommy Maiolo NOT answer if he had any references, But Tommy, in his response is hostile, defensive, impatient and a good indicator for the disregard on having any productive relationship on working with this guy.
