These people are all bloodsucking parasites. They purposefully avoid you in order to rack up legal fees. My HOA (also some dirty crooks) took me off autopay without my knowledge and racked up a bunch of penalties. This group of leeches is representing my HOA and has tacked on a buttload of bogus fees which far exceed the amount of penalty fees we acquired while we were unknowingly not being charged by the HOA on autopay. I truly hope every single worthless scumbag in this office gets a severe butt itch for several days in a row. read more

I had a past due amount with my HOA and they hired this firm. I received a notice from them with total amount due including $450 attorneys fee. I paid the total amount in full on March 6 via bank draft. My HOA has my account locked because this firm has yet to inform them of my payment. I can't access my account or use amenities that require my keyfab. I have called multiple times and never receive a response. Something about this seems illegal or at least unethical. Where's my money? My next steps will be AZ Bar Association, BBB and possibly State Attorney. read more

I have contacted this law firm multiple times. I have left countless voicemails. No one ever returned my call. Extremely unprofessional.

Arizona attorney Scott Carpenter of Carpenter, Hazlewood, Delgado, & Bolen ("Carpenter Hazlewood") filed a notice of claim for $560,000 on behalf of the X9 HOA ("X9"), Vail, AZ. X9 believes the Incorporate Vail AZ violated the law by including them within the boundaries of the proposed Town of Vail. On election day, November 7, 2023, the Proposition 402 was defeated by voters. Whether or not Incorporate Vail AZ violated the law was never brought to court and with the defeat at the polls, it's a null issue. The purpose of this complaint is the Notice of Claim prepared by and filed by Scott Carpenter of Carpenter Hazlewood is based on unknown future events. The Claim misrepresented the truth and unbelievably and knowingly filed for events that had yet to happen. Specifically, the $560,000 was calculated based on "the facts supporting the amount include a reasonable estimate of the taxes that will be owed to the Town of Vail by the owners in the Association for ten years if the Association is wrongfully incorporated into Vail." In my opinion, citing "facts" for events that have yet to happen is a breach of State Bar of Arizona's Ethical Rules. 1) The election for Proposition 402 was 15 days AFTER this claim. 2) There is no evidence that Incorporate Vail AZ purported an increase in property taxes. In fact, Incorporate Vail AZ's 182 feasibility study did NOT include an increase in property taxes. 3) Property taxes can only be implemented by majority vote of the electorate which was not on the ballot. 4) A primary property tax rate assumed by Mr. Carpenter is pure conjecture and clearly not based on facts. It is imperative that members of the Arizona Bar adhere to the highest of ethical practices. Our society relies on jurisprudence to represent truth and the law. For Mr. Carpenter to file a claim stating "facts" for events that have yet to occur does not represent ethical practice, the truth, or the law. read more

This firm was hired by my HOA and added 175% in legal costs to the principal fees due and refused to consider reducing them stating they were reasonable costs. They are the reason people not only hate attorneys but HOA's!!!!! read more

This law firm took what was a simple $1000 bill with a $20 late fee, and turned it into an extra $2000's worth of fees. May they choke on their greed. read more

We have dealt with this law firm, specifically Kaycee Wamsley, and I have nothing but great things to say. She is highly knowledgeable, professional, and above all very open, honest, and fair. She helped us with dealing with a previous property manager and we are satisfied with the results. She wasn't just out to make a quick buck off of us but rather to genuinely help us out in a difficult situation. I would highly recommend Kaycee and have even referred others to her already. read more

I have enjoyed my relationship with this law firm. As a president of a HOA, I have come to rely on the experience and professionalism of Joshua Bolin and Alexis Firehawk. They have guided our board and our community. I depend on their legal guidance to effectively represent my community. I highly recommend this firm and especially Josh and Alexis. read more

This firm contacted me in regards to my HOA payments. I was deployed most of last year and explained this to them and I explained to them that I am stationed out of the state of Arizona. I eventually agreed to make monthly payments starting March. I sent out a check for that month. Apparently, they did not receive the check and was never cashed. I contacted them about what was going on, and they said they have no record of agreeing to the payment arrangements I made to them. So I set up another arrangement with them for the same amount and explained to them that I am in the military. They quickly changed their tone and demanded more money after I mentioned that I was in the military. These clowns present threat tactics and prey on the military and their families in regards to this. read more

RE: Sarah H. Orme, attorney associate Carpenter, Hazlewood. I dismissed this very young and inexperienced attorney within one business day of hiring her. In my opinion, she lacked knowledge of the Code and I was not going to "pay her tuition" while she muddled her way through my matter. This youngster is not ready for "prime time," in my estimation. I strongly suggest, Utah, that you look elsewhere for representation. Maybe she is a good clerk, or is very close to the senior male lawyer. When I was informed of the charges associated with her "services" I sought to reasonably ask that she reconsider them. I offered an appropriate fee settlement proposal to end the dispute. This girl opted to write a five page, single-spaced missive defending her position. I sincerely believe that she considers that by so answering she has "earned" the fee differential in dispute....And how much was that? $120. Short-sighted girl---I have told well over twenty business professionals about my experience in the interim. The name of the firm is Hobbs & Olson Law--Carpenter Hazlewood. Here is one of the best pieces of advice you may receive this year, or in any year: avoid doing business with this firm. read more

Very similar situation; What was a $1500 debt in March 2014, is now (November) $4300, even after paying almost $600 against the debt. $3200 in attorney fees, and $405 in late fees, in 8 months. Even while paying. Gotta be a law against this type of collection tactics!! (?) read more
