After the recent passing of my parents, I found that I needed a probate lawyer. Jaclyn Patton helped me with my options, prepped me for my probate hearing, and continued to give me advice after the case. She eased a lot of my fears and after 5 months I have satisfied all of the conditions required by the court. My main contact was Margie. She might be an angel or at least she is an angel in my eyes. She promptly returned all calls and emails. She helped me fill out the required paperwork with ease. I knew that any time that I had a question, Margie was there to help. So, my experience with Jaclyn Patton couldn't have been better. I highly recommend talking to them if you are in need of probate assistance. One of the big questions that many have hiring a lawyer is "how much is this going to cost?" Before I went to my initial consultation I had heard that getting a case through probate would be extremely expensive. While it depends on your individual case, I was more than happy with the quoted price.

I trusted as a lawyer he'd do everything to help me and he did everything but that. as the first and only lawyer i have ever hired and im honestly so thankful for you. im about to boss up in a way i never would have without your bullshit and lack of accountability. this mistakes taught me so many lessons: 1. please don't waste your time with a lawyer, you can represent yourself. 2. be sure every single detail your lawyer claims will be handled in your paid representation is clearly numbered or labeled in your contract and obtain more than 1 copy before signing. 3. visit more than 1 lawyer before you decide on who will represent you. your lawyers needs your money. make your money work for you. 4. if you get a lawyer, only pay what you think is an acceptable price; the right lawyer will be ready for you. 5. do not accept the bare minimum, lawyers have too much power for that. you have control. i hope this review helps clear some things up.

SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY AND DO NOT HIRE MARK MALTSBERGER…read more the only reason i stuck with him in the first place was because he told me exactly what he was going to do and i trusted that as my LAWYER he would carry that out. But as you will see, this dude is full of shit. he doesn't return phone calls, he never shows up to appointments that have been scheduled and he's a compulsive liar. when he says he's going to do something, he will not. if i could've rated less than 1 star i would have FEB 2016 : i was arrested, charged & given a court date MARCH 2016 : i was sent a letter of recommendation (from his office) stating how he could help me i had a meeting, in which we discussed the process, punishment and outcome. total was 1500, which i paid on time. my court date was set for the may, then switched to that october. i had questions, concerns, and didnt hear from him til about a week or so before the court date. OCT 2016 : (court date) he was late, his clothes were wrinkled, his breath smelled horrible & I was the only one talking on my behalf. as this is my first offense, i didnt know exactly how all this worked, but bottom line, as little as he did i could have just represented myself and saved my money. APRIL 2017 : i was eligible for early termination of my year on probation but i set phone dates, went to the office, and he was nowhere to be found. this went on until i was actually completely off of probation (OCT 31 2017) and even then, i could only get a receptionist to set more phone dates with mark in which MARK never called, and never once called to say when he didn't call. In november 2017 i set ANOTHER phone appointment and also a meeting. I have not seen or heard from Mark since my court date and my biggest problem is that the offense was supposed to be wiped from my record (which we discussed in our initial meeting) and NOW he's saying (through his receptionist) that's going to be an additional 500$. I am now Looking into suing him for fraud, so i would highly recommend ANYBODY other than him. PSAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY, AND HOPEFULLY YOUR LIFE AND DO NOT HIRE MARK MALTSBERGER.
