I hired Elizabeth Manzo from Lindabury, McCormick, etc. firm. I needed assistance during a very…read morechallenging time in my life - needed to obtain guardianship for someone near and dear to me. This firm states they are well versed in guardianship - could not be further from the truth. They are a scam! (In my opinion.) They will bill over and over again and bill for a bill. For example, send a bill for looking over a document and then a bill for the cost of writing the bill.... WTF! This added unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. They will look for any reason to send a bill (especially Elizabeth Manzo...again, in my opinion. I should also say allegedly to cover my a**).- I hope this feedback serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical practice in law. Everyone should stay away from this firm.

If one is looking for assistance with elder care, DO NOT retain Lauren Marinaro…read more She makes promises on which she cannot deliver, blows by deadlines and is nearly impossible to reach. Some emails were answered, but rarely did they address the questions posed. One can beg for a phone call, which I did many times, and one will receive nothing. During an exceptionally emotional and difficult time, she only added to the stress. I would plead with her to respond and answer the questions I had posed. For three Fridays in a row, she did a document dump and then was unable to speak. No guidance, no advice. This would spiral me and she knew it. She has, what I perceive to be, a sadistic streak. On one particular Friday, another document dump with an email which read my changes would tank the deal. She emailed this at 8:20 in the morning. I spent the rest of the day emailing and calling. All I wanted was to know was what specifically did she find objectionable so I could reread and reevaluate. Nothing. No response at all. She had ALL day to send an email and chose instead to leave me worried and wondering all weekend. She also seemed very concerned with opposing counsel's reactions. On more than one occasion she was hesitant to relay what I instructed her to write. On several occasions, her ONLY concern was that she did not want to upset the other attorney. She was not advocating for me. We finally met in person and had a very productive discussion. I walked out of her office convinced she was clear on what I would accept and what was a hard pass. Well, I come to learn the new proposal was submitted to opposing counsel without sharing it with me, her client, prior to sending it. This new agreement, written by my attorney, included releases which she understood I was never going accept. All she did was rewrite opposing counsel's requests which, had I signed, would have released the individual from being held accountable for the possible malfeasance in this individual's role as Co-PoA. This was my lawyer, assisting the other side. She literally took the clauses I objected to and simply rewrote them. She was advocating for everyone but her client. Additionally, her demeanor is mercurial. One never knows which version one will get. She had the nerve and disrespect to SCREAM at me twice and once at my husband. (I know we should have dumped her, but she kept telling me we were so close.) She screamed in a manner that if one saw a parent yell like this at a child one would be concerned. The screaming was unbelievable and unwarranted. She also send disrespectful emails written in all caps. Now one of the worst parts. We were hoping to wrap this up this week. I was very clear with her that I had a busy Thursday and plans from Friday to Tuesday. I shared with her that my only hope for this weekend was to spend time with my children. I begged her not to delay. I begged her not to wait until Friday. All I wanted was to avoid a fourth weekend of torment all done at her hands. Well Thursday comes and I cancel my appointments for nothing. She did not email or call. Friday morning she quit. She quit on the day we were meant to finally end this email. Sadistic. She is sadistic and truly appears to enjoy spiraling her clients. She used to threaten to quit often and also asked if we wanted to fire her. So very professional. Unprofessional, unethical, disrespectful, overwhelmed, and downright unhinged. Stay away. Unfortunately for the practice, she is now lead partner. I cannot see this firm continuing on with the lead partner treating clients as if they were less than. Save your time, money, and sanity and find another attorney. Happy ending nevertheless. Once she quit, opposing counsel reached out to our family attorney and wrapped up the agreement. It took a couple of hours to complete what Lauren could not accomplish in seven weeks. One can find a much better elder care/estate planning attorney.
