There is a tone of insincerity at this Estate Planning Firms and each time I attended a meeting with them, it appeared there would be new employees hired. The constant turn-over in staff leads me to believe this law firm is toxic to work for. Rumblings around A2 is that Terry is not a 'good' person to deal with, just looks good on paper.

He immediately helped me work through the application which was very extensive, including filing for the missing years that caused the loss of non profit status.

Oooh yea I'm the first review!…read more Seriously I wanted to share how great a service I have been receiving from Ms. Novar. We still have a ways to go but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm a father in another state with a daughter in Ypsi. Ms. Novar really has been working hard so I can see my daughter first Skype than visits. I can only speak on my experience but if you have been getting shafted by foc recommendations and you know you deserve more. Start putting some cash aside and hire Ms. Novar. It's worth the money, and honestly she is less expensive than alot of the other lawyers I called around to. Plus she seemed more receptive to me. She will school you on what you need to do vs what you have been doing. She is very patient (I'm sure I pushed her buttons being demanding ) and will guide you if you are willing to listen. I feel like if you're reading this it's because you need a family lawyer so let me be the first to say I would hire Ms. Novar again and again.

When I got to the appointment I was asked to wait for Mr B. When I said I had an appointment for Ms Fanning, I was told that Mr B often takes her appointments. I was never told that Ms Fanning wouldn't take my appointment. The staff was very polite, however, I made the appointment two months out and talked to the staff several times and each time it was said that it was in preparation of my meeting with Ms Fanning. Never was it mentioned that Ms Fanning would not be meeting with me, or even that she worked with another lawyer. I refused the appointment with the other lawyer and walked out for two reasons. The first because I wanted to see the lawyer that was recommended to me. The second, because it was poor communication at best, deceptive at worst. Either way, it was enough to break my trust. No amount of money would make this a good choice. On a less important convenience note, the office has no marking on the outside and it isn't clear if there is a public door. Although, I was called the day before to remind me of the appointment, no help directions were given.

Very disappointing because the reason I just didn't just use an on line template for about $50 was to have revisions implemented over time.

I left with the impression she'd agreed to be my attorney -- she told me she would take my case and she explained in depth the cost structure and how to leave a retainer. I needed a couple of weeks to work out the money situation, and when I came back to sign up with her, she never responded to my attempts to make contact. I later called and a secretary told me this is common practice for Ms. Sendlebach -- she will charge you for a consultation and then ghost you if she decides she doesn't want to take the case. Honestly, I feel scammed out of $650. She could have just said she wasn't taking new clients and I would have gone elsewhere. Or if she said during our conversation that my case seemed too complicated for the time she has open, I would not have continued sitting there talking to her about my case. This is a very stressful time in my life, and I would not recommend using Ms. Sendlebach until she changes her policies.
