    This firm was in my legal plan network, MetLife legal plan. There were many obstacles that this…read morefirm had to face with us. My loan officer quitting in the middle of the loan process, Chase not informing us of certain things til the last minute, The borrower and coborrower having to live and sign in two different states. Not only were they very professional but prompt in their responses to us. They sent two notaries to our home too in two different states, emails were responded rapidly to questions we had and they had to work with many agents from multiple states to buy our condo and we were still able to close on time. I would definitely recommend them as well as using them again in the future.

    We hired Georgina to represent our daughter in a child custody case. In the beginning she stated as…read moreto how she was going to approach the case and it sounded exactly like what we wanted to hear. Slam dunk, right? Then came the day to meet with her and her story completely changed and she more or less sold our daughter out. Of course this was after we paid her. The agreement she set up with the other attorney was a complete 180 of what we were expecting. It basically said that our daughter was guilty of everything. And then, hear is where it gets worse to the point where my daughter is still suffering the effects of what Georgina did! Georgina sent a court order to the judge for approval without our daughter even getting a chance to read it or approve it. And to this day this is still the court order in place making it nearly impossible for my daughter to get justice or just even to tell her side of the story. I wouldn't recommend and if I could give her 0 stars I would do it.

    They need to learn how to write legal documents. During the divorce there were so many mistakes…read moresuch as neglecting to send copies of settlement offers, sending incorrect information regarding settlement offers, stating monetary figures incorrectly all over the place, listing the incorrect courthouse when writing up the final documents, my name being spelled incorrectly and in different ways throughout the final document (even within the section regarding my name change!) that was sent to the court and completely leaving out a part of the settlement that my ex husband and I agreed upon then denying that it was ever in the agreement in the first place and suggesting it was acceptable to have a large portion of a marital dissolution settlement agreed on verbally instead of in the legal document which even states we signed it with no promises made outside of what is in the document. (Because if it's not in writing there's no way to enforce it!!!) Even before I wisely decided to get my own attorney she was not available when my ex or myself attempted to contact her. I can with no doubt say this was to the detriment of my ex-husband's case because when I retained my own attorney the entire divorce changed it's tone. Now of course this is per my ex-husband, but she informed him that she would represent both of us in the divorce when we filed for uncontested. It is my understanding that there is absolutely zero way that she could give honest and beneficial advice to both of us when he came to her first and paid her because any helpful advice given to me would be against his best interests. She also did not seem to understand how to draw up a quitclaim (which I very much would have preferred to draw up myself because it would have been done in a timely manner) and demanded a copy of my deed, which I would have been happy to provide but did not have due to paperwork being removed from the home. She apparently claimed that the quitclaim simply could not be drawn up without the deed (Not true. At all. Not even a little.) My ex-husband's name was on this deed obviously and he was 100% capable of getting that himself, as was she if she had tried. Then she denied having received a copy of the warranty deed or any other communications from my attorney's office when my attorney secured a copy and sent it to her many days (when I received a screenshot of the email with the attachment it was nine days) prior. This nonsense could very well have led to my ex-husband being held in contempt of court for failing to execute the quitclaim in 10 days as per the MDA. I had to send the screenshot of the email with the warranty deed attached to my ex-husband, which I assume he presented to her, for her to begin doing anything. She was not my lawyer, she was my ex-husband's lawyer and I may be somewhat biased by the awful experience that I had dealing with both her and my ex, but that does not take away from the fact that not only was she regularly unavailable, but she denied having necessary information to draw up documents her client was required to provide and also that the legal documents she filed with the court had ridiculous mistakes that made the frustrating and painful divorce that we were going through even more so. I have communications to show everything I've stated. The craziest thing about it? She charged my ex-husband more than twice what I paid my lawyer. Find someone who won't make that difficult time worse for not just your ex, but your kids, wallet, and definitely yourself as well. SMH.

    Hope Law made filing bankruptcy easy, stress free and affordable. No frills no hassleread more

    Bankruptcy isn't fun, not for anyone. There are so many feelings and emotions involved, even as one…read morenears the point where they begin considering this "last resort option". Not only that, but it can be extremely hard to even know where to honestly begin reviewing your options! This is because of the immense haze, depression, and overall mental fog and fatigue that comes hand in hand with being in such a bad financial position. It's tough to step back and look at things from a clear-headed point of view... especially when every day feels like you're ... DROWNING. This was me about a year and a half ago... Stressed. Depressed. Ashamed. Stressed some more. Living a day-to-day that was mostly spent trying to hide the truth (from myself and others). The truth being the dire situation I had now found myself. A deep dark hole that I had slowly crawled into, created by decisions I made over the period of many years of course. My daily life at that time was one of dodging debt collectors, using payday loan places to pay past due bills, not paying bills in general... even selling things on FB and Craigslist just to "get by". Like a super shitty groundhog day that keeps repeating itself, and during this phase it can certainly start to feel as if there is NO HOPE. That no one can save you, not even yourself. However, this was just another LIE I was telling myself. It's one that "fear-brain" preaches to us pretty constantly because at this point it's was now pretty much running my life. The days get darker and the hole gets deeper. Time seems to go even faster and bills seem to be due sooner. Past due notices, repossession threats, letters and lawsuits in the mail, and a phone that you don't even want to have near you anymore because of the endless calls from robots, collectors, agencies, etc... Lucky (and life-changing) for me; my personal "breakdown" moment came in the form of a letter in the mail. It was from a bank that had now owned my truck and a huge credit line I used with my business (which was now very OUT OF BUSINESS). They weren't the only ones wanting to go courtroom with me, but they were going to take away my only transportation at that time, and seek to start docking my wages to make up for the $30,000 or so dollars I owed them... That day, at some point in the day I actually asked myself -- "Where am I really going here? What are my real options? How might this affect my life, both now and down the road?" etc.. Then, a little later that day I made an appointment that definitely altered the course of my life. Truly. I set fear aside just long enough to attempt to change course, and get help from someone who can (and did) answer these questions. Now, this type of change doesn't happen in a day, but I can say for sure this is what Michelle did for me, and with me. Even in the first sitting my whole perspective, attitude, and feelings about things started to slowly shift. Her offices are small, and comfortable. I didn't feel intimidated at all, or out of place. Even after a few minutes of sitting with her I could feel tension begin to ease. She answered everything so clearly, and I could sense her understanding and empathy for my situation. Also, that she was approaching this from a place of objectivity, reason, and absolutely NO JUDGEMENT. After a few discussions, we began to really move through my options, all of my debts, and the process involved with filing the actual bankruptcy. And when I say move through, she really does do EVERYTHING. All she needed was info on my debtors, and last papertrail, etc, and then she handled them, ALL OF THEM. She quite literally got them all off of my back within what seemed like a few weeks, and this alone was enough to change my daily reality. It's incredible what that barrage of collections does to our mental health, etc. Michelle rounded up amounts, spoke to the right people, and before I knew it we were in a courtroom negotiating my way "out". She sat down with the creditors in a special meeting, and was able to find a way that I not only kept my truck, but developed a special pay plan where I was to pay back only a percentage of what I owed - all with small payments over the course of five years. Also, her rate on the filing was less than I thought it would be. Very reasonable. In the past year my life has still been up and down, but I have been able to finally CLIMB OUT. I have found actually happiness and joy again; enjoying days where I am not haunted by the nightmare I had previously created for myself. Not only that, but she has still been there for me with help and guidance whenever needed (which has been more than a few times!) She always responds quickly, and with such honesty and sincerity. I have never felt put off or like I was a nuisance in any way. So yes, there is HOPE (sorry, pun intended! ;) and since Yelp is now cutting my little novel review off (word limit!) I'll end with a few simple ones from the heart... THANK YOU MICHELLE! =)
