I walked into McAlister, McAlister & Nicklas about two weeks ago and cannot stop thinking about the…read moreexperience. I had just lost my mother and needed a five minute timeframe to ask one question regarding the need for probate help. I was referred from the downstairs bank to this law office to ask this question. The bank told me the law firm upstairs, which is McAlister, McAlister and Nicklas would be able to answer my question because the bank could not answer it. I advised the receptionist of this law office upfront that I had just one question and shared with her the question after she asked me what it was. She was not compassionate about the loss of my mother at all and told me it would cost $350 to ask the question and that no one was there for me to ask. I told her someone could call me but she again, reminded me it would $350 as well as a retainer fee. I understood needing to charge, what I don't understand is the reply she gave to me after I shared my question with her and my reply to her asking for $350 up front. Her reply was this: "a doctor would not see you for free so why would you expect a lawyer to see you for free". I left there and cried. I just needed to ask a question and probably would have retained their services. Needless to say, I retained another lawyer's service who gave me the time to ask the question. That lawyer is now doing a lot of work for me. McAlister, McAlister and Nicklas' receptionist reflects the entire business practice because they are the ones who trained her to talk to me the way she did with zero compassion. I would never and I would think no one would want to work with uncompassionate people like what I experienced here. Truly, it's hard to give even one star.

We didn't know what to do, but thankfully I called Oklahoma Estate Attorneys. When Joy heard his entire story, she and Terrell took the time to help us. I was so thankful that they were always available to answer our questions. They never put us off, and always responded quickly. They were able to solve the issues, and my uncle was so relieved. Joy, I've dealt with other legal assistants, but you are truly the best I've ever worked with. We highly recommend Oklahoma Estate Attorneys. Thank you so much! Carmen

One attorney tried to drag us through multiple court cases and drain our pockets. Lacey was very honest about what we can and cannot win. Also, what is worth fighting for.

I really enjoyed our talk and looking forward to her representing us. Thank you, Lacey!

Lacey Egbert with Hartsfield & Egbert, PLLC has been helping our family since June 2017 with oil &…read moregas issues. My family inherited these mineral rights when my father (petroleum engineer) passed away - but no one in the family knew how to oversee these assets! I found H&E because of their positive reviews online. Lacey is upbeat, knowledgeable and never patronizing, even though we are clueless about these matters. She works quickly & efficiently to resolve problems and achieve the desired outcome. Miraculously, in 2019 she was able to find a company to buy ALL of the family's oil & gas holdings - a tedious & time consuming process! I cannot express enough our appreciation for her expertise, patience and friendly attitude. She has been wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her and her team! Elizabeth J.
