My husband and I used Dan to write up our wills. I didn't know what to expect, since this was our…read morefirst time doing this, but Dan explained everything very clearly, and was very friendly to boot. I also liked that he has sort of a will "package" that also includes POA and healthcare proxy, so everything is covered all at once. Cost was reasonable and work was completed in a timely manner. Dan definitely made this somewhat grim task easy and understandable.

And - they file incorrectly with the relevant County Surrogate Court. This firm has held up Probating my Father's Estate from his death June 23rd - was returned to their office on Oct 29. Filed incorrectly. oh - they never actually FILED until 10/24. Really? they created the Will AND the Trust!!! Today is 11/12 - Safe Harbor has NOT YET notified me that the Probate Petition was returned to them on 10/29??? Hmm.

I just wanted to leave a post about my experience with Karp Law so far…read more I was referred to their offices from a friend because of their own positive experiences so I gave them a try. I talked to a polite professional lady over the phone and during the call she listened to my problem and made me feel like she was concerned and wanted to help me. We ended the call with her telling me id be hearing from them in a day or two. The next morning I was contacted by a nice gentleman that listened to my problem and offered suggestions. When we ended the call I asked if I owed him anything for his time, he told me he's not like that and I said thankyou. I feel like I can trust them to be fair and help me through this. Thankyou

We just encountered the worst experience with this attorney, Christopher R. Smith, Esq. on our…read morefirst home purchase. He was referred to us by our realtor and our mistake is that we never researched him before proceeding to seek his legal services. We asked him his legal fees for a new home purchase and he categorically charged us his flat fee for his services. Later on we detected that he had indicated an entirely different amount in our closing disclosures without discussing anything with us. Also, although we had clearly communicated and told him that we were not interested in homeowners title insurance, he went ahead to get it for us again without consulting us. On researching him, we found out that he sells title insurance, and is an examining counsel for the same title insurance company from which he purchased ours without consent despite saying "No, thank you!" When we drew his attention to these, he quickly got belligerent towards us. Although we had sought his legal services, he never contacted us to familiarize us with the process or give us directions on what to expect through the process. Rather, we had to do our own research on what to expect every step of the way. The issue that broke the camel's back for us: at our final walkthrough the house, a problem was detected that we requested fixed before we close on the house. This is a basic right of every home buyer. Although it is common practice for sellers to offer credit for detected problems on a house, it doesn't erase the buyer's right to request a fix instead. As our legal representative, we expected Chris to be on our side and work in our favor as all professional attorneys do. Instead, he began mounting pressure on us to close on the house despite the detected problem. This is violation of a buyer's right. If the buyer prefers the problem fixed instead of receiving credit, this right should be respected without any intimidation whatsoever. He wanted us to accept credit for this problem and close quickly (because we had exposed him on the earlier issues and he wanted to get done with us) and we preferred getting the problem fixed instead before proceeding to close. I could not believe the intimidation and threats this attorney hailed on us in attempts to frighten us and to compel us to rush to close. He is the most unprofessional, uncaring, and unethical attorney I have ever seen. He has no interest in, and certainly has no respect for the rights of his clients. We are considering launching a complaint with the bar on our experience with him. He completely mistreated us and had zilch interest in defending our basic rights as his clients.
