Had initial consultation and explained case. They said they would take it and then when I went to…read moreset it up they would not respond. Finally after reaching out multiple times they decide to respond and say "they are not taking new clients ". Huge waste of time and back to square one because they don't know what they are doing. Wish I could give them no stars. Do not count on them at all

Attorney Greg Kalpakgian was honest, and when I requested that he not "break the bank" he worked to…read moresave me money. Considering some attorneys will charge you for everything under the sun, this is a rare find. He promised me a free initial consult, and honored it. Though he was limited by my budget, I would imagine that under a hefty budget that he could do some great things in a court room. He even went the extra mile as to send me important documents AFTER my hearings were over, at no charge. As for the firm - no funny business. My remaining retainer was refunded at the end and assessed properly. These people work hard. 5/5 stars.

I contacted family legal in a panic-- facing my abuser alone was impossible and I needed help…read more David Bailinson had me in his office that same day prepping for court immediately. He represented me through a restraining order hearing to protect me from my abuser, family court to protect my daughter from our abuser, and gave me piece of mind through the criminal court process by explaining things to me in greater detail so I understood fully and ensuring my rights as the victim were being respected. I cannot express my gratitude enough for David and the family legal team. Every outcome that we needed for our safety was accomplished with David's brilliant and aggressive approach. He proved to me that he isn't just my lawyer for a paycheck-- but that he truly cares about my family and our safety. If you need a lawyer who is compassionate about the best interest for you and/or your children, is extremely thorough, who is experienced in high conflict family cases with domestic violence involved, representation to receive a restraining order, and/or assistance as the victim in criminal court matters-- David Bailinson is your guy. I personally can attest to that, and will spend the rest of my life being grateful for him-- beyond what can be measured in words.

I reached out to this firm that was recommended requesting a consultation for the exact services…read morethey advertise and received this email response: Good Morning Ms. Palmisano, Thank you for contacting Annis & Zellers regarding our legal services. We have reviewed the information that you provided regarding your situation. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist at this time. The New Hampshire Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service should be able to put you in touch with an attorney who may be able to assist you. Their number is 603-229-0002. When I called (because this was a referral) to get clarification, the legal assistant reported she doesn't know why the firm cannot assist, only that they cannot. When I attempted to confirm that estate planning is within the scope of what they do, she again replied, I can't say why we cannot assist only that we cannot. WHAT??? Shameful business practice.

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM FOR YOUR ESTATE PLANNING…read more Tina Annis is the reason people do not trust lawyers - just about the money; NO real interest in assisting or listening to the client. Tina's office sent a 5-page questionnaire to be completed prior to conducting a consultation call. A call that Tina insisted no one else could be present as she spoke w/ my 86 year old aunt - despite my aunt requesting I listen in to help her capture details/information provided. Assuming a professional consultation would be presented, we abided by Tina's demands. In hindsight, we should have ended the call then, since Tina showed no interest in the client's wishes. We never anticipated the unethical behavior that happened next. Note: We completely understand the concern for family members not coercing the person creating or changing their Trust. However, who protects the person creating the Trust from unethical lawyers like Tina Annis? On the call, Tina never referred to any information my aunt completed in Tina's 5-page questionnaire; nor did she listen to what my aunt said or wanted. Instead Tina used the hour and a half call to badger my aunt with questions (verbatim): Why don't you split your house three ways like you're doing with your other assets, that would be easier (asked 3 times); What if the people you're leaving your house to can't pay the taxes; What if the people you're leaving your house to adopt children & give some portion of your house to these adopted children; And other similar BS questions. All above BS questions, if necessary to ask at all, should have been asked in the questionnaire paperwork sent. They were used to "eat the clock" & add time to Tina's billing goal. Tina never referred to any of the completed, pertinent questionnaire information which was more expected during a "consult call" to assist in the Trust changes my aunt was hoping to achieve. Instead it was a series of badgering, ridiculous questions to keep my aunt on the phone to rack up the billing charges. My aunt asked several times if the call was done but Tina kept on. When the call was finally complete per Tina's billing goal, my aunt stated to us that she felt she was "senior waterboarded" - that says it all. My aunt called the firm the next day to say she was extremely uncomfortable with Tina's phone call and would not be pursuing her services further. Of course, no apology, concerns or questions were expressed/asked. And, of course, Tina immediately sent a bill for $570 - the cost of Tina's professional senior waterboarding - SHAMEFUL. This is a prime example of bad lawyering. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM.
