It's uncomfortable to think about awful possibilities, but the wonderful GLG team got us through it. We feel confident and secure, knowing we are thoroughly prepared for the unexpected. A recent serious illness rocked our family, but one worry we didn't have was "what if" because we have a plan. We can't recommend the firm enough!

The Geller Law group hides and reports comments that are not in their favor. I believe Yelp allows…read moreus to add reviews when you have had direct experience with a business, which I did with Geller. The attorneys try intimidation tactics, and do not keep the child's best interest in mind. It is also true that other law firms do not have a good opinion of this firm and it is not because they "win". It is because they try low tactics instead of fighting using the merits of a case. As you will see most of the negative reviews here have been archived or removed. This is them trying to control free speech. I'll be working with Yelp directly to ensure this doesn't happen again.

I called again in Jan 2026 which was still within the 4-year point. Never called me back. I visited the agency in Feb of this year to inquire as to why they weren't returning my calls. Never gave me a straight answer. They did inform me, however, that my four-year plan had just expired.

I highly recommend the Farr Law Firm for eldercare planning. I rapidly needed to make decisions…read morefor my mother's long-term care, as she had just entered a nursing home in Pennsylvania due to dementia. Because of the expertise, professionalism, and compassion of the Farr Law Firm I was able to meet with attorney Farr quickly and be apprised of my options. In short order, the firm, through Jeannie, helped me place my mother in a nearby, highly rated nursing home in Virginia (NOT an easy task) and supported me through several Medicare appeals regarding the initial part of Mom's care. Other members of the Elder Law Team, paralegals Seresa and Grace, provided total support for a successful Medicaid application, complicated by a claim for a Medicaid Caregiver Exemption for my brother. Grace continues to provide exceptional service on all matters big and small. She is professional and expert in explaining and implementing the steps in the process of qualifying for eligibility and protecting assets. She is knowledgeable and reassuring in examining the what-ifs of different complicated scenarios. She was stalwart in responding in those rare instances of nursing home billing errors when the corporate "tone" became unnecessarily adversarial. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for her help whenever needed. My mother's estate is modest. With the help of the Farr Law Firm her assets are protected to the greatest extent permissible, far more than I imagined and that I could have achieved on my own. Most importantly, because of attorney Farr's expertise my mother's wishes regarding my brother were able to be honored. The fees of the Farr Law Firm are extremely fair given the results they are able to achieve. I continue to retain their excellent services.

Unresponsive My wife…read moreDenise submitted a detailed inquiry via Farr Law Firm's website seeking a consultation regarding an aging parent with dementia. We provided our contact information as required. Over a week later, no response (no phone call or voicemail and no email, and yes we checked our spam and promotions folders). Attached is a screenshot after submitting the webform showing it was received and "We will get back to you as soon as possible!" It's obvious by now they are not going to respond. The professional thing to do is respond even if they don't feel they can help us, instead of simply ignoring the inquiry. And there are no excuses such as: "We never check inquiries via our website." If that's the case then remove the webform from your website. "We prefer that inquiries are made over the phone." If that's the case then again, remove the webform from your website. "The employee responsible for checking the online inquiries forgot to do it." The employee should be counseled about the potential loss of business to the law firm by such inattentive behavior. "We read your inquiry and decided we can't or won't help you, for whatever reason." The professional and responsive thing to do in this case is to simply communicate that to the person who submitted the inquiry.

As someone with a law degree myself, who grew up in a family with four generations of lawyers, and who has worked closely with many attorneys from multiple firms over the past 50+ years in a variety of business arenas, I can tell you with confidence that if you retain George Peterson, you have yourself strong, solid legal counsel.

He takes no responsibility for the bad experience I had and told me the lady I spoke with - Ms. Moorad was not even an attorney. So basically she lied to me when I thought I was speaking with an attorney. He further tried to poke holes in my review without even getting the facts right. Hey buddy - instead of getting defensive and trying to imply I'm lying, why don't you show some customer service by finding out what happened and then seeking to address it instead of trying to deny everything. Terrible customer service yet again from this firm.

I was in the process of purchasing my parents' home from my family's estate. I felt the appraisal I…read morehad received was too high compared to online market values, so I reached out to Rick Phillips with Appraisals Guaranteed for a second opinion. I explained that I simply wanted an honest, factual, and professional evaluation of the home's worth. From the very beginning, I was amazed by how professional, meticulous, and thorough Rick was throughout the appraisal process. When he noticed a discrepancy between the home's square footage listed by the city and his own measurements, he didn't just accept it--he sent his team back out to remeasure, then personally followed up with the city. When he couldn't get answers over the phone, he even went down to the city office in person to clarify the details. His dedication to accuracy and integrity was truly unparalleled. Once the appraisal was complete, Rick took the time to walk me through every part of the report. He explained how he chose comparable properties and how those influenced his valuation. He made sure I fully understood the findings and felt confident explaining them to my family. Rick's professionalism, honesty, and commitment to excellence gave me complete peace of mind. His passion for his work, dedication to accuracy, and unwavering integrity ensured that I could trust the results without question. Thank you, Rick Phillips and Appraisals Guaranteed, for going above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for an appraiser who truly embodies honesty, professionalism, and care for his clients.

However, if you have thorny legal and/or tough title problems with your real estate settlement, Howard Birmiel is the attorney to trust. With over 40 years of law experience, real estate buyers and sellers are well served by Mr. Howard Birmiel. I met Howard over 20 years at a settlement with ridiculously tough title issues. The seller hugged Mr. Birmiel at the conclusion of settlement as she was so happy that all title issues were resolved. I have never seen a buyer or seller hug a real estate attorney since then. I think that says it all.
