Matthew Callaghan, who assisted us, was readily accessible throughout the whole process. My mother and I initially stopped by his office, intending to just make an appointment, but Mr. Callaghan was so accommodating that he stopped what he was doing and sat down with us to begin the process. He sent the documents for review, and he answered my questions in a manner that was easy for me to understand. Once a very minor revision was made, we visited the office a second time so my mother could sign the documents. Both my mother and I found Mr. Callaghan to be very professional and personable.

I cannot recommend Kristy Garside enough. When my father unexpectedly went into a nursing home, we…read morefound ourselves in need of a lawyer to help us navigate Medicaid. I spoke to several lawyers and it wasn't until I spoke with Kristy that I finally felt someone understood what we were going through. It was a very stressful time and her understanding and kindness meant everything. She met with me twice before I even hired her, walking me through everything and helping me understand the process. I am on the west coast and was trying to help my mom gather documents for the Medicaid application. Kristy went to my mom's house several times to pick up documents so my mom didn't have to drive to her office. She was always quick to respond and to answer all of my questions. I would hire Kristy again in a heartbeat.

Atty Kristy Garside has got to be the most professional lawyer I have dealt with. I was in a…read moreMedicaid jam and hired her to find a solution. She led me directly to a Special Needs Trust which ultimately fixed my problem. We even got the matter cleared up in a fast/informal way so that I did not need to wait for an appeal. DHS decided in my favor 100%. I would hire her again and encourage anyone considering doing so to go ahead and hire her because your legal problem(s) are likely to go bye-bye after that! -jdc

I didn't think picking a lawyer actually mattered much when performing a normal closing but I was…read morewrong. I'd use another lawyer if I were you Pros: -Answered then phone when I called -The sale did go through at the end Cons: -Its 2018 and they still made me fill out a word document to sign and scan back. Most people who do this type of thing have gone all digital. -Ambiguous and non-existent in communication. Had to initiate to find out any information about when, where, and what I needed to bring. -Lawyer was condescending and rude during closing. While she was TECHNICALLY hired by the buyer, I did pay her a lawyer fee to handle my selling paper work. I'd appreciate it if the person I hired didn't scoff when I asked questions, act like they were in a marathon and tell me to sign things with out explaining. -Failed to communicate properly with my agent and the utility companies forcing me to pay a $1000 escrow account for water and sewer. They claimed they didn't get info in time even though (a) they said I was up to date the entire time and (b) my agent showed proof that we had sent info on time. Very unprofessionally handled. -Failed to bring the commission check to my agent upon the closing. If she had owned this, that would be one thing. However, she blamed it on her assistants for not assembling the package together properly and went so far as to call her out for not speaking up in the meeting. -This all would've been fine but it took 1.5 months to get the escrow money back and was only delivered to me when I called and asked. Again, the firm blamed it on someone else (the sewer company). However, I literally had just gotten off the phone with them and they informed me it had been closed out for several weeks and they had to prompt the law firm for the paperwork. In other words, they failed to own their own failures again. Best case scenario, they forgot about it and were reminded when I called. Worst case, they were hoping to make an extra $1000. Any of these negatives would be whatever on their own and I understand they have a difficult job. However, when added up together it makes for an unpleasant experience. I won't be using them for any legal needs and would recommend others avoid.
