BEWARE. They claim a free initial consultation but use the whole time asking you about the case…read moreyou've already told them about in your initial filing with them they should have read before the call, and then they tell you they don't know about this and they don't know about that and then send you an email to say email them if you have any questions. And when you do have another question, they then want to charge you $300ish for an hour consultation or almost $150 for a half hour. My case is unusual and not a cut and dry issue and so I thought that's why I was told I could email them with any questions. But when I emailed Scarlett and told her that I had no problem paying to speak to her, but I certainly didn't want to pay if she was going to tell me she didn't know about anything, I got no response. Absolute crickets chirping So this seems more than a bit scammy. I would have definitely been upset had I paid for the initial consultation, as it was absolutely not worth $139 or whatever the charge and certainly not $300! I had to even ask things from my own research - so instead of them saying "you can file contempt motions", I had to ask can I file a motion for contempt to which she said "you can try". And the judge is hearing the motion I filed, but that is from MY research and MY work! I'm not even certain they would have even thought of it had I not brought it up! Just be a good person and do the right thing! I thought because of her personal story of having landlord issues herself, they wouldn't act like this. Don't offer an initial free consultation if it's not going to be an initial free consultation! Just say right up front you're charging. I understand people need to make a living, however I do a LOT of work for free just to be a good member of society. And I always try to help someone as much as I can. I even asked them if they wanted to help me sue this guy and his insurance company, where I'm sure they could make a lot more money in a settlement than just simple evictions, and of course I did say I would pay her, but I need to get something worthwhile out of it. I am so sick of professionals getting paid no matter what for incompetent or no work. Lawyers here, who seem to not want to work for justice, but just want to take easy cases where they can do minimal work and get paid exorbitant amounts, and doctors are notorious for it. Doctors can treat you terribly and misdiagnose you and they still get paid. I wish I could be wrong in my job all the time and still get paid. The whole thing is outrageous. ChatGPT is coming for your jobs and clearly it is deserved. It has been FAR more helpful (not perfect right now, you still have to manage it). Oh, and FREE. I prevailed in the writ, won the eviction and now the contempt charges. So I guess...karma? You guys should have been more ethical (which you swear an oath to do) and better members of civil society.

Although he was very generous to his widow, she wanted more... Well actually she wanted everything, regardless of what our Father's will had directed. It was very unfortunate that we had to resort to using lawyers, as we had hoped to work together with our step mother, especially as she and my sister were very close for many years--until our father passed and greed overtook rational thought. Our step mother dragged this process out for over three years. Thankfully, we were referred to Mrs. Barnes. We did not want anything that was not rightfully ours; we just wanted our step mother to transfer our assets to us and to stop her from continuing to steal money from us. Most of all, we wanted this ordeal to end. Mrs. Barnes basically became a member of our family throughout this process, in that I believe that she actually cared for and about us, as opposed to just representing a client and collecting fees. Thankfully Mrs. Barnes was able to bring everything to a close, which was no easy task. I give this firm my highest recommendation! If you need representation as a result from the death of a loved one, you have found the right law firm.

After several hours of research I decided to narrow my list to a few different attorneys and interviewed each of them. After speaking with 5 different attorney's it was obvious that Kyle was the right person for us. He was very considerate of my mom's time and would take as much time or as little time needed to thoroughly explain everything about her will. He drafted it quickly and accurately and all for a very reasonable price. He was friendly and kind and understood that sometimes getting a will created can be a stressful event, especially for an elderly person. He took ALL of the stress out of the situation by helping my mom fully understand the importance of the will and each section in it. Her stress level has dropped tremendously and she is happy knowing that when the time comes her family will be well protected. If you have an elderly parent and do not know where to start, I cannot recommend Kyle enough!
