I first discovered them back in September of 2018 and their service and efficiency was the best I had ever experienced. After my first experience with, Jessica Rossi and the rest of the Shaheen Law team, I gave them all my other deals. I was so glad I did on my latest deal! I was buying 7 duplexes. They had to all close at the same time or the deal would not close. The lender I chose for these 7 deals, provided the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Jessica Rossi provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. It was like a battle of good and evil. The Lender dragged it out for 6 months! They kept finding ways not to fund. meanwhile; Jessica looked for ways to reduce my cost by getting me a better price from within and from other vendors in appreciation of my business. Jessica assisted the lender where ever she could. The second she needed anything from me, she would ask for it. The second I asked for a document or an explanation from her, she would email it to me. When finally, the lender was ready to "Clear to Close" the loan, Jessica worked non stop for 2 days helping the lender get the figures correct. The first day, right after Jessica assisted the lender to get all 7 of the figures correct, the lender delayed for another day causing the figures to change. The second day Jessica took the lender by the hand once again and helped them get the figures correct once again. They were both full days and Jessica was on it! It was typical for the lender to delay and it was typical for Jessica to fight for me, Her customer. I was so nervous because the lender was so awful and I had worked for 6 months trying to close this deal. I was so relieved when Jessica was in complete control of my closing and the lender's hands were finally off my files. Once she was, my 7 deals closed like clockwork. She arranged the notary that I wanted and the time and place. She got me all the copies I needed and asked for. She emailed me copies and offered to send hard copies of all the documents right to my front door. She arranged for me to get all 14 keys from the Selling side. She made sure I got the list of contact info for all 14 tenants at these 7 duplexes. Jessica left no stone unturned and delivered the absolute BEST service possible. If you want pleasant, friendly, and highly efficient professional service for all your real estate needs, Chose Shaheen Law firm, P.C. I know I will! Doug Keefe

Met with 2 local firms that have excellent repetitions. After all this we finally met with Trey Parker and Victoria Bowling at Carrell Blanton Ferris & Associates. My husband (who practiced law until he retired) and I finally found our law firm and lawyers we felt would represent us in every way we needed. They instructed us through the process. Every question and concern we had was met with clear and helpful responses. They guided us through what we needed to know about creating a Trust, what we needed to consider about our estate, discussed our future and our family needs. We learned to follow and trust their suggestions. We hired them. There was an agreed upon cost and it was clear what we would receive in return. We occasionally have questions regarding how to handle certain things, we always receiving a response to our emails. Most recently we were considering hiring a financial adviser firm which we didn't feel quite comfortable about using. We received information that gave us options to consider. With the most recent stock market decline we are again pleased we had their recommendations. I know Trey and Victoria are always there for us now and as we age. Their age, professional knowledge and honesty brings comfort to my husband and me. I was disappointed to see a one star review and felt I needed to share my thoughts about our experience.

I called his office for my scheduled appointment, and his secretary told me that he was in the office with another client, and he would call me back. An hour goes by, I call back to get an idea of when I would hear from him and was told this time that he was out of the office for the day, and that he didn't want to proceed with my meeting or case because his case load was too full. Backstory - we had previously spoken to this attorney about our case, so he was completely aware of our needs and requested more docs once we received them, we received them and sent them in advance, which prompted this second scheduled meeting. I'm just saying if you knew your case load was too full to handle my case, you should have denied it when the 2nd meeting was initially scheduled and not had us pay in advance for it. Even if he couldn't handle the case, he could have given some sort of courtesy direction on what the next step would be, or how I could somehow help myself. ***So, WARNING TO ALL*** if you have something that's HOT and needs attention , dont bet on this guy to even show up for you. SHAMEFUL!

On multiple occasions, I requested that my spouse be contacted. I was told this would happen, but to my knowledge, it never did. I was also asked to spend significant time preparing financial documents, narratives, and other case information. Later, while preparing my settlement, I was repeatedly asked for the same information by phone and text. I was told it was "cheaper for you to just answer my questions," which made the time I invested gathering those materials feel unnecessary. Despite investing nearly $10,000 in legal fees, I did not feel my case made meaningful progress toward mediation or divorce. My biggest concern was the lack of communication. Even after requesting it by phone and in writing, I was never provided a clear timeline, an explanation of the process, or realistic expectations for next steps. Navigating separation after experiencing a physical attack by my spouse was already extremely difficult. During that time, I needed proactive communication, guidance, and confidence that my case was moving forward. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I left feeling disappointed by the lack of follow-through, transparency, and overall case management.
