We needed somebody who had knowledge of construction, could truly fight in front of a judge, and who understood the devious criminal we were up against. Vida fit the bill!! She is incredible in front of a judge. A true fighter - and her engineering knowledge and skill is unbeatable! She knows her stuff inside and out, is not shaken when someone attempts to sway her knowledge; she knows what she is doing!! Having to hire an attorney can be frustrating and scary, but rest assured Vida will take care of you. I highly recommend!

She is the first attorny I've ever hired personally (have worked with several corp lawyers before) and she impressed us every step of the way. She got me exactly what I was hoping for and even guided me throughout the arbitration and court processes. I can be difficult to deal with sometimes and she was able to push me enough to help me make the right decisions and let her make the expert decisions. My case was for construction law and considering she is ALSO an expert in structural engineering, I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Thank you so much for helping me out.

Let me start by saying if you are looking for Legal --- THIS IS THE ONE!…read more I was super impressed at how incredibly responsive the legal team was. Many times, I got home late at night and sent an email to Mr. Attlesey with a concern or idea and was responded to almost immediately. They were not short responses either - the were full on methodical responses with detail. The verbiage was super clear an easy to follow and understand. This was something that I would not have expected and really was over the top thrilled with. With each step of my case they were in contact at each occurrence as well as telling me what to expect. In all honesty I had never expected in my life to have needed an attorney, but in the end was glad I found this office. With only a simple background in business law from College, I felt that many of my questions or thought may been seen as trivial or just outside of the real world. The entire team was beyond good in helping clarify the merits of my thoughts - both good and bad and were in no way condescending no matter how off base I may have been in my process. On the surface, I had thought I they may have been expensive, but that too was a surprise. They are very efficient and manage to get more done in the time billed then I would have though possible. I really believe that this is their experience shinning though. I was expecting a much high bill than I had received, but in the end they provide a full detail outline of their services and they were totally cool about going over it with me. I could not imaging ever meeting a better more honest group. They were up front in stating that the need 100% transparency and truth and would not mis-represent the law. I will advise you that if you reading this, be fully up front with them no matter what the case -- their is no judgment of you. They get that things happen. Tell them exactly what happened, and if you are looking to save a bit on costs, create an outline to help with a time line and who was involved. I do not know if they would take a case where someone was intentionally in the wrong, was fraudulent, or if there was deceit as they seem to be a group that just wants to do the right thing. So, as you can tell, having retained an attorney and written a glowing review I had excellent results. While I believe that if you are in the right, it should be straight forward. Using this team helps stack the deck in your favor.

If only the initial yelp review for Mr, John Ward was still up. According to Mr. Ward, Susan…read more(Suzanne) Storm didn't want to take down his bad review(s) for some time. I didn't know I was getting Mr. Ward as my primary attorney. This firm is notorious for over billing. They intentionally extended and delayed deadlines to get more money from clients. I have emails from opposing counsel joking about how they intentionally allow delays from other attorneys and that they can't believe cients pay for their lack of any productive case action/activity. It was painful to read when you're being taken advantage of and its acknowledged my other professionals. I continued to pay despite many conversations for fear of starting over with another attorney, because of the financial burden and continued delays associated with any change. I felt stuck. Susan Storm, John Ward and Ellen Zhang shouldn't have taken my case because I could have gotten a lawyer by the state for free. They knew that and didn't tell me. In your monthly bills they will describe the fee and will not send proof of what was documented as completed. They charge for things not in your contract. Excess photocopies, duplicate/back billing, attorney 'fees', and internet research fees to clients. Please note that the YELP reviews with high marks are affiliates, business partners or associated with the law firm. I got a bill for one day with 2 partner charges - Susan Storm, Marc W. Thomas, then associate partner John Ward and paralegal Ellen Zhang. I was told by Susan Storm that they only used additional partners when no one who was working on my case was available. Ha. Susan Storm told me that they only used the 'outside' attorney Marc Thomas for one brief but my bill showed more than 'just one' charge. When I asked for the documentation I was billed for from Marc Thomas (he billed over $2,000.00 and I never met or knew him) -- they didn't give me the brief he claimed to have written. They will tell you they can't send you what he did because the document was 'edited' - but we all know you can track changes made by other individuals. I paid for all services hoping they would at least show me what they billed me for. It is not only their responsibility, but, it shouldn't be a challenge to produce the documents. ATTLESEY & STORM will not produce many of the documents/briefs/research or drafts. If you request to review, they get angry and make you feel bad for asking in the first place. When you are billed for and pay for items/time ~ why can't you review it to understand what is going on with your case? They even billed me for obtaining phone records that they never got. I was charged for photocopies from 03/2018 and 07/2018 in my august 2018 and there was no documentation of anything being photocopied. They claimed to be proficient in my case, but I was billed monthly by both the paralegal Ellen Zhang and John Ward (independently for 'research'). They understood I did not need to pay for representation, but never told me. Even more, Mr. Ward cancelled confirmed depositions and planned appointments. For paying clients, intentional breach of fiduciary duties knowing that you are hurting the client financially is just plain cruel. Attlesey & Storm is not only unprofessional but causes Intentional harm. Besides the extra partner charges and duplicate billing for conversations between partners discussing my case -- they even billed for phone conversations and in person meetings for much longer than they actually occurred. They had already documented and billed for the prep time for the calls and meetings. Billing time should have only been for the actual length. One of many unbelievable charges from Mr. John Ward was for review of deposition documents for several hours. When we met he said that he hadn't actually reviewed the paperwork he had billed for. PLEASE don't use this law firm. I wanted to make this work and gave them the benefit of the doubt. Do not make the same mistake. They will take your money -- and in my case, more than the money I was asking for when I started the lawsuit. THE SECOND you ask for assistance in understanding your bill and their documented charges -- they will intentionally extend your case, harm your case, not complete paperwork needed to facilitate case resolution and WILL cause significant financial harm to your current situation. Adding more salt to your wounds, they make it nearly impossible to afford any other attorney. Before they attempt to recuse themselves they will they will not complete their fiduciary duties and make it seemingly impossible for recovery. The last insult will come when you learn that they will make fun of you to opposing counsel while joking about getting more money. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS LAW FIRM.

A friend from work recommended I call Odine at Simple Legal Solutions. Odine was very patient with me during my initial phone call. She was very professional and calm, she answered all my questions over the phone so I scheduled an appointment to meet in person. Odine made the whole process painless and seamless.

I'm giving Odine 5 stars for her service, professionalism and patience with me during a very difficult time. I wish I could give 10 stars because she definitely went above and beyond the call of duty with my case. One final note. The cost was exactly as outlined with no add ons no hidden fees or fine print.
