I got to pay for my lnew lawyer to research a case that was already research resulting in double dipping. Should have told me they were not able to help me with the specific needs of my case because medical staff issues and the nuances of the medical field is not what they do and then they will keep you to juice you for billable hours. Not at all happy and I feel like they could care less about me. I was just a dollar sign. If you can hire them on contingency or for a set retainer with % of settlement fine but do not pay out of pocket or they will run up those hours.

Title: Seth Rosenberg Is Not On Your Side -- He Works the System, Not for You…read more Seth Rosenberg controls his office, controls other attorneys, and manipulates clients into trusting him while quietly protecting himself and the system he claims to fight. He talks tough about challenging the government, but when it's time to act -- like filing a Motion to Vacate -- he backs down. He delays, redirects, and stalls. Everything is performance. When pressure mounts, he doesn't confront the system -- he hides behind it. In my case, after three years of paid representation, he suddenly demanded another $8,000 and a brand-new contract -- at the most critical point in my case. That requirement had never been mentioned before. I paid the money. Then he stalled. Again. The new contract wasn't about clarity -- it was about setting up a technical excuse to withdraw without accountability. Worse, another attorney in his firm (David) had originally been helpful -- until Seth intervened. After that, David stopped communicating entirely. That is not legal service. That is internal sabotage and client abandonment. Seth Rosenberg is not standing up to the government. He's performing for it -- while billing you on the way out. If you are in a serious case, under real pressure, or fighting injustice: This is not your lawyer. He will not stand with you. He will stand aside -- and let you fall. I'm filing a formal complaint and demanding a refund. I will speak the truth, because lawyers like this depend on silence.

I appreciate he took the time to talk to me as I…read moreunderstand it's a small firm and they're busy, but during the 5 minute consult, I explained my legal situation and in my opinion Jason was very cold and short with me. I feel he also came off demeaning and made me feel stupid and embarrassed. I was not looking for free legal help, I was looking for clarification and if my case was under the scope of his practice. I was not upset that he couldn't take my case. I work in the legal field and understand how the process works. I learned additional information and asked Jason if that was under his scope of practice, and was not looking for additional legal advice or any advice, just asking if he could take on my case. Again, my issue is not that he couldn't take on my case, my issue is that I felt he came off demeaning and how I was treated. I will not be reaching out again for any reason.

He didn't allow me any negotiation room, neither did he make any negotiation efforts himself in the mediation against other party's greedy proposals. Then he rushed to finalize the cr2a within 12 hours in the midnight of the mediation day, by signing on behalf of me when I was sleeping, without my review or consent of the final version of cr2a. He e-signed it within seconds the final version was sent to him by opposing party's attorney. Two years after being retained, he still wasn't familiar with the Case that I had to prepare and draft paperwork myself by collecting/organizing all evidences. He didn't care enough and allowed the cr2a to include additional term in other party's favor which were not brought up in the mediation. I felt betrayed and do not recommend him as a defending lawyer, but only for simpler legal advice.

They advised us on what to do or not do. Once they were involved, the tenants were gone in just over a month. We did not have to go to court. We did not have to negotiate with them; they got scared and left. And our life got so much better. If I have a similar situation in the future, I will just make one call. Holmquist and Gardiner are worth every cent. Thank you, AK2 Properties LLC

John Groseclose is a rare kind of attorney -- deeply ethical, sharply strategic, and relentlessly…read morededicated to doing what's right. I've been represented by John in a long, high-conflict custody battle, and I can say without hesitation that having him as my attorney changed the entire course of my case -- and my daughter's life. From the beginning, John demonstrated unmatched patience and professionalism. My case involved repeated violations of the parenting plan, medical neglect, travel disputes, safety concerns, and emotionally draining communication patterns from the other parent. Through all of it, John remained clear-headed, responsive, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to understand the full picture -- reading through timelines, messages, medical records, and incident reports -- and he never made me feel like I was alone. What sets John apart is how grounded and strategic he is in court. Despite aggressive tactics and misinformation from the opposing side, he stayed focused on the facts and the law. He doesn't play games -- he builds a case methodically and ethically, and the judge saw that. He never made false promises, and he didn't have to: his work speaks for itself. When it came time to challenge a GAL report full of inaccuracies and bias, John didn't back down. He brought in expert witnesses, therapist input, and hard evidence that ultimately led the judge to reject the GAL's recommendations and rule in favor of protecting my child's best interests. That alone speaks volumes. Throughout this process, I've leaned on John not only as an attorney but as a guide through some of the most overwhelming moments of my life. He treated my case like it mattered, and it did -- because it was about my daughter. He always remembered that. If you're looking for someone who's experienced, no-nonsense, child-focused, and genuinely invested in doing what's right -- John Groseclose is that attorney. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Hourly rates are in the $400+ range. High cost, zero benefit. I'm happy to answer questions about my experience--just message me.

Jeff Sayre is the man. He also happens to be the boss. Not in some mafioso kind of way, but of…read moreSayre Law Offices. But you'd never know it, because when you're in trouble in a civil or business matter, he'll make you a deal you can't refuse -- great legal work at a reasonable price. You might think that the "Sayre" in "Sayre Law Office" is named after Jeff, but it is actually named after Jeff's father, also a lawyer, who started the office years ago. He has since retired, and this father/son "team" is now just Jeff and his several associates. Ok, so our small business (also father/son) was in trouble. There's no good guys or bad guys, really, more like a sad situation where the ex-partner of the business became a debilitating alcoholic, and eventually died of it. So years later, his daughter brought suit against the ongoing money that was sent by our business to this ex-partner's ex-wife in residual payments. The daughter was seeking her daughterly share. Fair enough. I'll spare you the sordid details of misinformation, accusations, and heated arguments that ensued. But in short, a settlement was finally reached, and now all parties can move forward with our lives, thankfully. It's time. I happen to be an attorney who works in this business doing non-attorney work, but I have a very good idea of when I am dealing with the REAL DEAL attorney, or not. Let me give you some "insider" advice: The REAL DEAL attorney is NOT: 1. The "PIT BULL" -- this breed of attorney is aggressive, but not usually very bright, so the more patient, brighter attorneys just wait for them to make mistakes that they take full advantage of. Often, the Pit Bull doesn't even realize they've screwed their own clients and themselves after it's over. 2. The "GENERALIST" who can "do everything". This used to be the way it was, when laws were much simpler. But today, this attorney is a dying breed, and for good reason -- maybe they can sort of do everything, but they will do nothing very well. 3. The "SLEAZEBALL". This guy will break every rule, ethically, to get as much money in their pocket as they can, as opposed to giving any kind of shit about their clients. This small minority of attorneys will lie, cheat, and steal for their own ends -- often screwing over their own clients, and give every other attorney a bad name in the process. The REAL DEAL IS: Kinda boring, really. BUT... an ethical attorney who treats you and other attorneys with respect. They search for positive outcomes for you, the client, take time to reflect, do their research, and think out of the box. The REAL DEAL does not base decisions made on your behalf, on how much money they will get out of that decision. And they have experience in some specific subfield or fields of law. Ideally, they will also have relationships with high-quality professionals in related fields, such as accountants, or investigators, who's work can be indispensable in succeeding with your case. Jeff Sayre is the REAL DEAL. He handled our case ethically (unlike the opposing attorney, who hid key information which, once found out, ultimately benefited us). Jeff is competent, respectful, and in the end, I believe he saved us a bundle of money. He provided us with... VALUE! (ooohs and aaaahs.) If we ever find ourselves in trouble again (heaven's forbid! knock on wood, salt over shoulder), or just need advice on a business matter, I will definitely go back to Jeff Sayre's office of skilled and ethical attorneys. Highly recommended (and that really is saying a lot coming from me). (Note: This office moved last year from Jefferson Street to 1320 University Street)
