Unresponsive, No Case Update…read more *NOT RECOMMENDED I retained services in late 2017 and paid the service fee in full at time of retainment. In Jan 2018 I received an email from Laura Darling Law PLLC stating that I will receive a fine in the mail, with no explanation of what the fine is for. Since January I have attempted to contact this law office via phone and email many times. I have left several voicemails and sent several emails, all are unanswered. To date, there has been no contact from the lawyer and we are entering the 4th month since the lawyer received full payment for services.

It has been a relief to have her attend on my behalf and use her wisdom and experience to guide me through the decision making process on my child-support case for two daughters. I wish I had met her 10 years sooner. After almost 20 years of paying child support, I have a few months remaining and I am super appreciative of what she has done to contain the situation and keep the peace without having it be too costly for me on a monthly basis. Also her bill amounts are reasonable and I do believe that she charge is a fair price for the time and energy that she is putting into the case. For any of you, I pray to God you don't choose the wrong attorney. It will be the 2nd most costly decision of your life. The first most costly decision is unfortunately who you wind up having kids with. Thank you for everything Joanne and you know that your help has been immeasurable for me and thank you for also having the human side that most lack.

Dear Greg, I wanted…read moreto thank you for the tremendous support and legal guidance provided by your firm through our Son's dis-enrollment board and subsequent appeal. From the very first phone call with you, and after several interviews with other military law firms, it was clear that you and your team were truly our best course to arrive at a positive outcome. We had the great pleasure to work with Wayne Roberts who immediately created a strong rapport with my Son and our family. His legal expertise and calming demeanor brought great confidence and reassurance as we navigated through the initial board hearing. Even though we received a favorable recommendation from board, it was not accepted by the PMS nor the Brigade. We were left with one final appeal if we chose to continue the fight to allow our son his dream of obtaining an Army Commission. Our second consultation, you presented the opportunities and hope we could successfully overturn the initial denial and arrive with a recommendation to commission. I am happy to say, I am glad we stayed with it and worked with your team. I am confident your preparation and presentation of all the facts, allowed the careful consideration and ultimate commission by the Department of Army Headquarters. Thank you again for your fairness throughout and great legal representation to arrive at this outcome.

My husband is a combat Veteran 82nd airborne with two tours in Somalia. We purchased our NNY…read moreproperty with a VA loan. We experienced immediate issues with a property easement where we are the servient estate. The dominant estate was/is creating an undue burden with an out-of-code hazardous utility panel. Not only is there a burden to the property owners (the Veteran family), there is also an infringement on the property title. We hired the Latham NY office of Tully Rinckey and they gave our case to Carol Crossett (Partner, Manhattan) who is perhaps the most obnoxiously arrogant, rude, unethical, shrew on the face of this planet. In addition to her terrible demeanor, she was lazy and her grasp of property law is apparently so piss poor that she tried to convince us, her client, the Veteran family, to pay for all of the costs to resolve the overburdened easement and infringement. Opposing counsel admitted in court documents that she told him that we didn't have a case. Further, she drained the $15k retainer by pretending that she couldn't understand the difference between a utility panel, a utility meter, and a utility pole. She feined ignorance to elicit explanation emails so she then bill us for responses to her nonsensical questions. It was one big grift. Luckily, another firm stepped in at no cost to us to resolve the civil dispute, and at no expense to us. Tully Rinckey doesn't support Veterans, they exploit them.

They always returned my calls and emails, the entire team was empathetic and on point thruout my entire case.

I asked a basic question on his process over the phone, and he began screaming, literally screaming, about how the officers are "c***suckers" and the court system will tell you to "**** off" and that if you have any questions you should go find a "country club" lawyer who will charge me $595 and tell me to give up. These are verbatim words after he took my credit card details. I called back to calmly let him know I will be going to a different attorney, and he said "**** off" and hung up and blocked my number. I wish I was making this up but I am not. I haven't seen my credit card charged yet, but wouldn't be surprised if he tried to do that.

Max patiently reviewed the case, and explained that between his costs, and the net worth of the seller, I was unlikely to ever collect a judgement, and to best walk away. This earned me instant respect because Max chose the path that was best for me instead of the path that would have earned him the most money. I then used the law firm again when I was going to have a tenant move into our house, and Max patiently went over all of the legal requirements to be a landlord. Most recently, I used the law firm for selling a property, after I spent hours reading the forms and instructions myself. Max was able to do everything in 15 minutes. Sometimes, it's worthwhile to pay a professional, and Max is someone I've learned to trust.
