Upon our first meeting with Simon we could tell that he is a very down to earth person that takes what he does very seriously and showed sincerity in his way of explaining the process of estate planning and making our trust reflect everything we wanted it to be done upon our deaths including medical wishes.

I am writing this review to provide a warning to anyone looking for a good estate attorney. Since…read moremy mother's death, matters with siblings have become adversarial due to the great deal of money Involved, and personal dynamics. Because of this, I've needed to find a very adept attorney to represent my interests as a trustee/beneficiary with An executor who refuses to provide me nothing in the way of accounting, etc. I was referred to Mr. David Knitter by a great attorney who practiced further away, to possibly intervene if my interests. I called his office immediately explained the situation and afterwards the assistant answering the phone was so curt, telling me I couldn't even speak with Mr. Knitter unless I paid him $600 upfront without knowing if I even like him or vice versa. I would then be $600 an hour after that and she would have to speak with Knitter first and call me right back. She didn't and I had to leave, so I called back only to be rebuffed this time by saying that Mr. Knitter was in depositions (?) and would call tomorrow. i never again heard from that same person or anyone in the office, so right off the bat this law office lied for whatever reason, and then didn't have enough class to just call and let me know that they didn't want to take the case. i would think that any firm that wants to maintain a good reputation in this area of the law, would have more empathy and sensitivity with every client.

I filed for bankruptcy in March, and used David Ritzinger as my attorney. Initially he was great to…read morework with. Once he had my money, and I had questions, things changed. Anytime I asked a question, I got a short, stern, and/or sometimes downright rude response. He filed my case incorrectly which he had to re-do and of course it caused delays. There was an issue with my vehicle redemption loan that I did through the bankruptcy and my vehicle ended up being repossessed because he entered the wrong lender info when filing the case. When I asked for his help in resolving it he wanted to charge me even more money ($1500-5000!!) when it never would have happened if he would have entered the correct lender info. He is rude and incompetent.
