Gets flustered with anything that requires him to do some work. Shows up barely in time for court hearings. Avoid this lawyer and find someone who cares about his clients and understands who he works for when a client hires him. He deserves zero stars, but that is not an option. At least my son found a competent attorney with a spine who knows the law so well, she didn't get flustered by opposing council's tactics as this guy did.

0/10. Absolutely do not hire this law firm!!…read more We hired Uri to handle our adoption, and instead of personally handling the case we paid him for, he passed it off to another attorney who, to our understanding, had never handled an adoption before. From that point on, communication was basically nonexistent. We had to constantly chase them for updates, answers, and basic information about our own case. Now, more than a year after the adoption was finalized, our child's birth certificate still has not been changed. We were told the attorneys should have submitted the required paperwork to the state, but apparently that was never properly handled. So not only was the communication terrible, the job we paid them to complete still appears to be unfinished. We are also dealing with a serious insurance-related issue tied directly to the adoption. Finding another attorney has been nearly impossible because this firm handled the original case and has the full history and documentation. When we reached out for help, we were told they are "not accepting clients." Excuse me? We are not new clients. We are previous clients asking them to fix issues connected to work they completed only a year ago. They had no problem accepting our money, handing our case off, barely communicating, and leaving important paperwork unresolved. But now that we need them to stand behind their work, suddenly they are unavailable. Their attitude has basically been: we got paid, the case is closed, and your problems are no longer our concern. Save your money, save your time, and save yourself the headache. Hire a law firm that actually communicates, completes the work it was paid to do, and does not abandon clients the second a problem comes up.

Thabet represented me in a lawsuit against a restaurant in which I fell off an unlit corner of an…read moreoutdoor stage and broke my leg. He quickly gained my trust (no easy feat) and never complained at the amount of times I called with questions or a need for reassurance. He took the time to get to know me as someone more than just a client with a broken leg, and always surprised me with his patience and empathy (I've heard too many lawyer jokes). He was always straightforward with me, and was well-versed in the laws of the county in which I live, even though at a distance from Tucson. He never pressured me, and he let me take all the time I needed to make all the hard decisions these cases seem to entail. Best of all, he made it possible for me to settle with the restaurant in a way that satisfied both the owner and me. I recommend Thabet without reservation to anybody looking for excellent help with a legal problem.

Thabet N. Khalidi of Khalidi Law Firm, PLLC is my neighbor and was recommended to me by a lawyer…read morefriend in September of 2021. I found Mr. Khalidi to be duplicitous, perfidious, unorganized and lacking knowledge of the financial aspects required in dividing community property. Additionally, Mr. Khalidi and the opposing council Mr. Robert Lewis III erroneously tried to utilize 2005 superseded case law Biddulph v. Biddulph (1985) to massively overvalue community property in favor of the petitioner. My goal was to settle as quickly as possible, and Mr. Khalidi made this process very difficult for them. I provided Mr. Khalidi with evidence and expert witnesses, which he dismissed. I also tried to hire a different attorney, but Mr. Khalidis peers refused to take over my case or were busy. I gave Mr. Khalidi one star because I couldn't give him a lower evaluation.

I have had such an amazing experience with this office and its lawyer's, that I had to make time to write a review. My mother's dementia moved so quickly that she was unable to care for herself in over a period of a year and half. However, she thought she was fine, that put me in such a bind where I couldn't legally help her and she couldn't help herself. She was being scammed left and right, adult protective services had 5 different claims on her and I was hitting a point where I felt incredibly helpless. This office has lawyers that can handle a variety of such issues. They helped me get guardianship over my mother so I could legally move her to safety and have since helped me with every court proceeding I have had to date, to include the intricate details of her trust and finances. Additionally, I was helped with issues that had to deal with me and the stresd level i was dealing with. They care and it was a blessing that I came across this office. DAVID KARP AND SHANELLE SCHMIDT are amazing.

I hired Mr. Castillo in June to represent me. He successfully completed sending a demand letter and…read morecreating a draft complaint at the cost of $3500. In Sept, I was expecting an updated draft complaint with edits I had sent to him. Instead of contacting me regarding my updates to the complaint; Mr. Castillo instead contacted the city I live in for documents I had already supplied his office in June. He then, using the same documents, claimed my case was weak and said he wanted to change my complaint. However, the email and letter he sent gave no indication about how he wanted to change my complaint, nor did he provide me the updated draft copy I had been waiting 10 days for. He did provide a photograph of one side (there are two) of an inspection record which he called a 'document' in later correspondence with me. Another document that he alluded to in his Sept email I didn't receive until 4 Dec; It took leaving 2 reviews and 3 more emails to his office. His reasoning for not providing the document sooner was I told him to "standby." However, he alluded to this document on 10 Sept and I told him to standby on 24 Sept. Now I'm told that document was "inadvertently not included" in his 10 Sept email to me. When I received September's Invoice, I was charged again for "reviewing" documents- including the ones he had already received from me. I first asked him about the billing and the fact that he had not provided me any additional documents than what I already had received from the city. When Mr. Castillo responded to my initial questions he did not provide the documents, nor did he elaborate on how he wanted to change my complaint. I tried again to point out to Mr. Castillo that, a photograph is not a document and the secondly I did not receive the missing document, I believe it is My directness in conversing with Mr Castillo that caused him to decide "this relationship isn't working out" and quit, in an email, on Wednesday before Thanksgiving at 330 PM. In that email he offered to "refund" me $700 for the work he did relating to the city's documents. I believe this was offered because I have a valid Arizona Bar complaint for over-billing and abandoning a client. However, in order to receive my retainer and refund I will need to make the 4-hour round trip drive to his office since he won't mail it- but his office encouraged me to mail-in rather than drive up my last deposit? Overall, the majority of my costs were incurred though correspondence with Mr. Castillo with little actual work on my case. I am dissatisfied with the lack of communication from Mr. Castillo regarding his desire to change my complaint without any clarity about how he wanted to change it until the email where he quit. I was also informed by Mr Castillo he will sue me if I do not remove my review; claiming it's defamatory. In order to protect myself and freely express my unhappiness regarding Mr. Castillo's professional performance I edited this review. I received a second correspondence from Mr. Castillo regarding my previous yelp and google reviews. Considering I have nothing positive to say about Mr. Castillos handling of my case, I am not surprised he is unhappy with my review. Now, I believe he is trying to intimidate me by threatening a lawsuit. However, my perception of my professional interactions with Mr. Castillo is not defamation. He failed to perform his duties to my expectations. I've said nothing of his personal character, only my personal disappointment with the service he provided. Since Mr. Castillo is sending private correspondence directly to me regarding these reviews, instead of addressing them publicly leads me to believe that he has used the same threats and intimidation in the past to have negative reviews removed. I received an email from an attorney's office claiming to represent Mr. Castillo with a demand letter stating that he is going to file lawsuit on 16 December if I do not remove my review- free speech is not illegal and Ive stated nothing false. Also, it's been three weeks since he QUIT ON ME- and the $10,000 I deposited for retainer has not been refunded to me.
