Several months ago, I was in the unfortunate position of needing to find a divorce attorney. I made…read morefour appointments with various area law firms (based on Yelp and Google reviews) and then I met with Alison at Bates Family Law. I immediately felt a sense of relief despite the incredible emotional stress I was experiencing. Throughout my divorce case, I was impressed with the efficiency I observed with Alison and every person in her office. Whenever I emailed or called with a question; I received a very quick response. Unfortunately, my case was incredibly complicated for a 15-year marriage without children. Despite the complications, Alison was able to manage my case successfully but I believe it required a professional with her depth of knowledge. Also, the final cost of my case was significantly less than I had estimated, and I am very grateful. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I am confident the result could not have been achieved if I had signed with a different firm. I highly recommend Bates Family Law.

I've worked with other attorneys before, and Marilee got me an outcome that was not only better than I expected but also better than anything I've ever experienced in the past. She's sharp, compassionate, and always communicative, which made a stressful situation so much easier. I cant thank her enough!

*** Tully Rinckey's response to my reviews is disingenuous. We already addressed this matter…read moredirectly with the firm. The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. ** Richard Brister is highly persuasive during the initial consultation. Unfortunately, his impressive phone manner is where the competence at Tully Rinckey ends. What Mr. Brister promised us during our consultation bears absolutely no resemblance to what the firm ultimately delivered. He explicitly assured us that our $4,000 retainer would cover a robust, comprehensive demand letter and active negotiations--even discussing specific enforcement provisions to hold management accountable to critical safety measures. We relied on those professional representations when we signed and paid our retainer. What we received was a weak, inaccurate and completely unusable draft. It was addressed to an individual who no longer worked for the company, contained a false timeline, failed to include our core claims, and completely ignored the evidence we had provided. It was a sloppy, careless rush job that caused our household and my 88 year old mother additional distress. The worst part? When we pointed out these glaring, objective errors, Tully Rinckey did not offer to correct them without further depleting our retainer. They never denied that we would be expected to pay additional legal fees simply to obtain an accurate and usable version of the document we had already retained them to prepare. To anyone considering this firm: Do not be fooled by Mr. Brister's polished sales pitch. Get every verbal promise in writing before you hand over a single dime. We trusted Tully Rinckey with thousands of dollars and a highly sensitive matter, and we were left with zero results, a bigger headache, and a nearly depleted retainer. Shame on Richard Brister, and shame on Tully Rinckey. Stay tuned for more TR reviews.

What truly sets them apart is their honesty and integrity--if they are unable to assist with a particular matter, they take the time to guide you in the right direction and connect you with the appropriate firm or resources. Their staff is incredibly hardworking, trustworthy, and attentive, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring regardless of the situation. I would especially like to recognize Aimee, who is always a pleasure to work with. She brings a positive, personable energy to every interaction while remaining highly effective, knowledgeable, and driven in everything she does.

Extremely Disappointed With This Representation…read more I paid this law firm $5,000 for representation, and I honestly feel like I received little to no value for that money. Throughout my case, there was so much miscommunication that I was left without a clear understanding of what my sentence would actually involve and what would be expected of me. I repeatedly felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, my questions were not properly answered, and important details about my plea, probation, and license were not clearly explained to me. I often had to chase down answers myself and do my own research just to understand what was happening with my own case. When I did speak with my attorney, I often felt talked down to and treated as though my questions were a burden. I expected professional communication and patience, especially considering the amount of money I paid for representation. For $5,000, I expected someone who would communicate with me, prepare me, explain my options, listen to my concerns, and actually advocate for me. Instead, I felt like my case was treated as though it wasn't important. Quite honestly, I feel I would have received the same level of attention from a free public defender--and at least then I wouldn't have paid $5,000 expecting personalized legal representation. This experience has left me extremely disappointed and dissatisfied. I would not recommend this firm to anyone who expects their attorney to communicate with them, treat them with respect, answer their questions, and genuinely advocate for their interests. $5,000 is a significant amount of money. I expected significantly more than what I received.

End result was an agreement that was comprised almost entirely of my ex's demands.

The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. ** My 88 year old Mom and I retained Tully Rinckey after a year and a half of fighting dangerous snow/ice, blocked ADA access, egress aisles, repeated maintenance failures, and misleading "100% maintenance-free" representations in our 55+ senior community. We hired the firm to advise us regarding breach of contract, fraud, discrimination, and landlord retaliation under New York Real Property Law § 223-b, and to prepare a strong demand letter. Attorney Ashleigh Rousseau billed $1,815 to review our materials, research ownership, and draft the demand. Despite having the necessary information already directly in front of her, the draft was a complete failure. She addressed it to a former employee, mishandled basic ownership and recipient details, misstated our timeline, and omitted major facts and claims. Instead of forcefully addressing the retaliatory non-renewals, rent increase, ADA and egress issues, misleading "100% maintenance-free" representations, and serious impact on our household, Rousseau's draft merely asked for clarification, future procedures, and meetings. The demand read like an invite for tea and crumpets rather than the powerful legal demand we were promised. The necessary information was not missing; Rousseau simply failed to accurately reflect the facts we paid her firm to review. Between her subpar work and the "supervising" attorney's billing, a majority of our $4,000 retainer was consumed producing a defective draft. When the firm expected us to continue paying to correct Ashleigh's errors, we refused. As a result, we lost the majority of our retainer and walked away with nothing. I absolutely do not recommend Ashleigh Rousseau or Tully Rinckey. Run.
