Dealing with a serious legal issue can be terrifying - at least it was for me…read more If you're in that situation, run - don't walk - to Hurley Burish! I initially met with Joe Bugni, who really listened to my story and let me know that I was entirely understood and my case would be a good one for this firm. When I signed on as a client, I was represented by the brilliant team of attorney Cricket Beeson and paralegal Yvonne Geertz; with invaluable additional help from Peyton Engel, Stephen Hurley, and Andy Erlandson. Cricket and Yvonne absolutely worked their butts off for me and, at trial, secured the best outcome we could have hoped for. In the process, they showed tremendous empathy, and I found their explanations of what was happening very accessible and reassuring. They are absolutely my heroes. If you need a lawyer, go to Hurley Burish!

We found ourselves in need of an attorney for our daughter after she was wrongfully accused of a…read morecrime at school. Things went from bad to worse with her school and I quickly realized I needed an attorney. We contacted Skylar Croy. I am so glad we did too because he was absolutely amazing. With almost little to no time to prepare, Skylar and his paralegal, Lucy, got to work immediately. Lucy is a miracle worker and put together a presentation in lightning speed. She was the absolute sweetest to my daughter too. Skylar worked non stop making sure every detail was perfect and nothing was overlooked. We are forever grateful to Skylar and Lucy for all the hard work they put in to help us fight for justice for our daughter. They met us with such compassion and integrity. I absolutely would recommend them.

Glorily Lopez is not your advocate…read more Expect the following: - Inflated billing practices - Excessive fees - Inefficient services provided - Unnecessary, unreasonable, and duplicative work When considering the reasonableness of your attorney's fees, you must ask yourself: Were the results obtained by the attorney generally considered successful, or within the reasonable expectations of the parties? Did the client receive a benefit from the services commensurate to the amount of compensation sought by the attorney? Did the client receive fair value for the services performed? Did the client have a reasonable expectation of a fee that would be charged, and if so, what rate and amount? Is the fee charged substantially more or less than the reasonable expectations of the parties? Did the client have any understanding as to the approximate amount of time which would be incurred? Was an estimate provided? If so, how does the fee sought to be charged compare with the estimate? What are the prevailing hourly rates in the legal community in which the services were performed? Did this representation involve peculiar expertise, beyond the capabilities of an average attorney? Is there any reason to believe that the attorney's services or the complexity of the matter required extraordinary effort or talent to justify a fee in excess of rates customarily charged by other attorneys in the community? Was the client kept reasonably informed during the representation of the services being performed and the charges incurred? The answer to the above in the case? NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NOPIDY NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. F*ck no!

An incredibly underwhelming experience with Glorily Lopez…read more Her hourly rate is $230, for which you expect the level of professionalism and knowledge to commensurate with such a high fee. Incognizant of the sensitivity in the area of immigration law, I was bilked close to $7,000 to file* two forms, I-821D and I-601. *The term file is used loosely because none of the two forms were actually filed or completed. In my opinion, the fees charged were unreasonable, excessive, duplicative, and inefficient. Glorily did not accomplish my goals as a client, there were no results, and I received zero benefit from the services for which Glorily was compensated for. Instead of continuing to pour my funds into an endless pit, I decided to end her representation and obtained another attorney for a fraction of the fee and was able to prevail in my case. For all those unaware, there is a program within the State Bar of Wisconsin where you can confidentially elect to file a Fee Arbitration form to contest the fees. Here's the website: https://www.wisbar.org/forpublic/ihaveadisputewithmylawyer/pages/fee-arbitration-program.aspx The cost is as low as $25, depending on the fee in dispute. I would highly suggest partaking in this program, made available to anyone who has a fee dispute with their attorney.
