My elderly mother needed a trust. She paid $3,000 for the trust up front. She had a one hour meeting with them with me present, so I witnessed everything. Trusts are complicated and my mom isn't an attorney so she relied on them to give her solid advice and she told them what she wanted. The meeting was about an hour and it was with the owner of the firm and one of his associate attorneys who was female. By the time it was time for my mom to sign the trust a couple of weeks later, it was not what she expected. I was in the room and expressed my concern at the outcome. There was a big problem with the trust that was not explained to her beforehand. She asked for it to be fixed and this is when the female attorney started blaming us for wasting her time. She didn't use those exact words, but she blamed us for the mistake, which seemed odd because it was something they should have warned us about or explained to us. She was making it all our fault and then saying she didn't have time to fix it. She had another client right after us. The trust would have to be completely redone and this time it wasn't a packaged deal...meaning more than $3,000....lots more. My mom was very upset by this and I was trying to help by pointing out the issues but the attorney kept interrupting her and I and the next thing you know, she's yelling at both of us. At this point, we asked if we could just meet with the Mr. Dallara himself but she said that wasn't a possibility at all and she was offended by what we wanted...because it was clear we did not find her professional at all. That's when it went completely off the rails. More yelling and turning the tables on us. By the end of all this, my mom is very very upset, and she gets up to leave and I go to get her walker and by that time this attorney is telling us she doesn't want us as a client anyways. I literally had to hold up my hand to motion for her to stop yelling at us as we were leaving the room. How completely rude! My mother is elderly and disabled and this was completely unprofessional. If something is not done right, you should fix it. You should not be blaming people who don't even understand the law...that's what the lawyer is for! We were not unreasonable. We were not rude to her. Both of us were shocked by the treatment we received. She's simply not the type of person who likes to be wrong and she was and was embarrassed by it and make it OUR fault instead. [Even though this review is in my hand, my mother has read and approved what I've said. She has a broken hand from falling the other day and cannot type on a computer. I was also a witness to everything that happened. ] read more

Excellent attention to detail during a very trying time. Their professionalism assisted me in navigating my journey. Thank you, Dallara Law! read more

Fast responses, knowledgeable, helpful, and understanding. Would recommend and use again if needed.

I met with Ken and Larissa and left feeling like I was in good hands to start my divorce journey. While I do understand my situation sucked to begin with and I was the one with everything to lose, I was hopeful. This experience was nothing short of a nightmare. I wasted 10K to have to start all over as I had zero faith in what was happening. Being fully transparent that I had very little interaction with Ken as I mostly dealt with Larissa and Kiana. The proposal they came up with was fully based off calculations (which I get) but they didn't hear anything I had to say and was offering it all to my ex from the start. They asked me for the same information multiple times and I was charged for it. They followed up on stuff I had provided and I was charged for that too. Larissa is rude and never made me feel like she had my best interest, just getting the job done. I truly hope this saves someone the money and stress that is never needed while going through a divorce or something hard. read more

staff is rude to get a plan that covers the trust and that I wanna fulfill it even after speaking with the plan company all they use is a program you'll never meet the attorney read more

The worst decision I've ever made. A simple change of Guardianship uncontested cost me 8k, I fired all of them before our first hearing.

Do not go here. They try to overcharge, they do not do the work on time, and they quote you a low fee to get in the door, and then flip the script and start charging you double or triple. Run away, most dishonest thing I have seen. read more

Horrible lawyers. They will take you for a really long ride, charge you more then any other firm and never, keep on driving and never get you to your destination. Go elsewhere! read more

Not good service. I was charged some request for order and then it was not even used in court. They charged me for some form and then change strategy. I do not recommend. In my opinion they overcharge even for the simplest things. read more

I'm a single mom in the lower economic bracket. I was referred to Ken Dallara by a younger lawyer and trusted the referral. After making it clear to them that I did not have the money for a lawyer but desperately needed help, I got a $5,000 dollar retainer donated to me. When I called and e-mailed to ask about my case, to figure out what they were doing, his paralegal Larissa stonewalled me and then charged me for the e-mails in which I stated I didn't' understand what was going on. I'd already filled out the legal paperwork and written a response to my ex's claims and all I needed was for Ken's firm to work from what I'd done and then help me file the paperwork. They lost the info on my USB that I hand delivered, then claimed what I mailed had no USB, wouldn't speak to me, treated me like a number and when all was said and done, they drained my $5,000 to $1,636---without having done anything for my case. It appears he does not specialize in family law. My daughter and I were treated like numbers on a file and what was turned over to me in my file box did not match what was e-mailed to me. Larissa gave another excuse, that an IT tech guy had to look at their computers and some stuff had been erased. Do not go with this firm. I was treated horribly because I have a ton of tattoos; Larissa did not like me and appeared to be jealous-not sure what's going on with her and Ken Dallara but do not risk custody of your child with this "car salesman" type of firm. They'll tell you everything you want to hear in your initial meeting and then what Ken tells you will not match up with what Larissa tells you-they've got a good cop bad cop duo going on. I have multiple jobs and it broke my heart to have gotten the good fortune of a retainer donated to me and then to see it used for nothing in return. More importantly, I lost valuable time and energy in regards to my case about my daughter, the love of my life. Shame on this firm. Shame on Larissa and shame on Ken Dallara; wealthy people not cognizant or caring of the less fortunate. I waited until my case was done before leaving this review because I did not trust them, feeling worried they might do something unethical. read more

I was motivated to reach out to Dallara Law because of their comprehensive online description of Special Needs Trusts. Sadly, I had to learn just now that the firm will consult with you only if you go to their office in person. The person answering my call (Ms Apperson) informed me that this is their company's policy. Strikes me as overly restrictive considering commuting times/virus situation (Apperson said that all were vaccinated) and the fact that I don't even know how much they will charge and if I hire them. read more

Do not go here!!! Ken Delmarva is a scam/fraud. My best friend paid $10,000 for her to only get $121 of child support. He showed up late to several appointments and even was late for the custody hearing and was calling her daughters name wrong when speaking to the judge calling her daughter "Billy" which is not even close to her name!! He was going back and forth between 2 court houses at the same time. Charging her for a full hour when he was 15min late and full days when he wasn't with her hardly at all, And even was trying to ask for more money after the case ended. This is bullshit!! read more

Dallara Law helped me with my elderly mother's estate planning! They set up her trust with all of the legal documentation needed for me to help her in her elderly years! I carried the beautiful notebook in my car at all times and it was beyond helpful to me and my mom! In the end when she passed, this notebook was a lifesaver on too many levels to list! Dallara Law wants to help, they keep it affordable and fair, and they are very caring! I can't say enough about them! I knew nothing about estate planning and they were top notch! Larissa was patient with my mom and Ken was awesome! Call Dallara Law first for your needs, they are professional and great to work with. I highly recommend them! read more

Ken is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients! He went above and beyond for my son and I. My sons safety and well being was as much a concern of his as it has been mine. He's always available and has great plans of action. He's extremely professional and literally went through like a million papers to make sure that when we went to trial we were all prepared. Ken helped the judge to see the extreme circumstances of my situation and everything planned out just as we had hoped for. Ken isn't just amazing at his career but he is an incredible person. I will never trust anyone with any legal matters from here on out. There is no one better. I promise you that!! read more

I am beyond upset with this law firm and do not like leaving negative reviews but do not want others to end up in my situation. Take your money elsewhere. I paid $2500 to set up my trust last March with Larissa Massetti who's not an attorney but a paralegal. I did not like her unwelcoming attitude from the time I met her but decide to continued setting up my trust with her anyway. BEWARE because they will not disclose their fees when you meet with them. A year later she tells me it is $2500 to AMEND a section in my trust because she has to "re-do" the whole trust all over again. That's what I paid to create the trust. WHAT PARALEGAL/ATTORNEY CHARGES THAT AMOUNT TO AMEND A TRUST? NONE. I've talked to two different estate attorneys, and a handful of my clients, and every single one of them said that, that fee is absolutely ridiculous and most places charge a small amendment fee. She stated that she has to re-draft the entire trust all over again instead of just amending a section which is all that she really has to do. The problem I have is that she did not disclose this before I decided to hire her and this firm. Go to other estate planning attorneys that are upfront about their services. Should she have told me from our first meeting that there were retainer fees, and amendment fees that cost $2500, I would have never gone with this firm. Apparently they are doing you a big huge favor by responding to your emails and answering your questions. This place could care less about you, questions or concerns or the decisions you make in your trust, they just want your full payment upfront and want you on your way. There are other estate attorneys that charge less, honest and do great work if you do your research. I should have read the negative reviews on lawyers.com before hiring this place because those statements from others are accurate. read more

Fantastic experience for my husband and I in getting our Trust/Will/Power of Attorney and Health Care Directive completed. Loved everyone in the office. What a team! Each person, Larissa, Cynthia and Ken each have a great personality, and work well as a team. It made what could have been a mundane, yet important experience, more fun and interesting for all of us. Definitely plan to use this law firm again as needs arise. Pauline & Brian Hill read more

Be prepared with your check book. At the end of every correspondence, it is written that it will cost you more. Big mistake hiring them for family law. Don't do it. Dallara law are not specialists in this field and don't know all the ends and outs. They wasted 14 months on a simple case that ended terrible and cost thousands of dollars. We also had to pay the O.C. fees. None of which was mentioned when we hired them. Vote of no confidence in Dallara Law. Do not hire them. read more

We needed to update our trust after our marriage in January 2020. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were concerned that the process would take a very long time. We contacted Dallara Law and were immediately impressed by Ken and Larissa's professionalism and quick response to our needs. The process was thoroughly explained to us (over the phone) and the final signing process was seamless. We would highly recommend Dallara and will definitely call upon them in the future for any additional legal matters we have!! read more

I felt extremely confident after meeting Ken and Larissa. I presented a terrible divorce agreement and they explained to me how they could help. So I went ahead and hired him. Now, my main concern for starting this process was over a vehicle my ex has but is not making payments therefore negatively affecting me. We went to court Ken did help me get a few items back and helped me get monthly payments for some debt my ex put me in.. this was great.. huge relief for me. However, the big issue was the vehicle. On the judgement day it was ordered for my ex to refinance under his name after a certain amount of day but there was nothing written if he did not comply... which of course he didn't. I reached out to them for some guidance but was told I'd need to rehire them. Pretty bummed since I spent 6k only to be told to rehire them. Ken was kind enough to email me and said I could file for contempt. Well I filed contempt but took a pretty big loss because the final judgement didn't mention there would be any consequences to my ex if he did not comply with the refinance so there wasn't a contempt case against him. So I'm back to square 1. Filing another RFO.. spending more money and still going back and fourth to the courthouse. Things I had difficulty with while working with this law firm is speaking to anyone on the phone. There's always an excuse about someone being in a "meeting". I get it. We're all busy but I mean every single time I called it was the same response, a "meeting". The only way you get through to someone is by email and you get charged a pretty dime for that as you can imagine a lot of back and fourth that happens in emails. To spend all this money for email responses... I don't know.. I wouldn't do it again. So I'd just take that into consideration. What I've learned from hiring this law firm... do not sign anything unless you're completely satisfied with what YOU want. I specifically remember Ken telling me "if he (my ex) does not refinance the truck is yours" I felt confident with what he said but again it was not written down. They're all nice. Shannon in specific is amazing. Again, they did help with a few things but the main issue was the vehicle and I'm still having to deal with the headache and stress of that. Lesson learned. Don't sign anything until everything being told to you is WRITTEN down. read more

Dallara Law offices are thorough and follow through with their commitment to their clients.

We went to Dallara Law for estate planning and they made everything really simple. We had tricky schedules to sign the documents, so they opened for us on Thanksgiving week (when they weren't seeing clients) to accommodate us. I'd highly recommend. And they were all very nice too! read more
