They made another terrible mistake by sending me a false picture of the person that I paid for them to locate. Please do not ever use Blackman Private Services.

After contacting several law firms Lanier Law firm was the only firm that believed in me. They never gave me false hope but instead were very direct and professional they were the only ones that said we want to help you we will try. They ultimately won my case and I was fully compensated! Sue N., Jason M., Johnathan M. and of course Ms.Lanier were a pleasure to work with. Very professional, on time, and respectful! I gave them a 5 star rating would give 10 but not an option. If you need a personal injury lawyer please give them a chance because they did with me and I am very pleased and will always use Lanier Law firm for my future needs should it arise. Thank you again to Sue, Jason, Johnathan Ms.Lanier and all that I didnt mention!

As a Philadelphia based Machine Shop Owner with literally no ties to NC I found myself contesting…read morean idiotic business suit in North Carolina after another lawyer failed to have my matter dismissed for obvious lack of jurisdiction. To compound my predicament, after firing my seemingly deficient council, I answered the plaintiff's complaint and levied a counterclaim acting as a pro-se defendant for both my person and my LLC which was also named in said suit. With the plaintiff's lawyer fighting for a default judgment against my LLC (who I can not legally represent pro se), I enlisted Joe Howell who was highly recommended to me by a fellow machine shop owner I cold called out of a Yellow pages listing. That the individual thought enough of Joe to return my voice mail days later to vouch for Joe's character says a lot in my book. With Joe firmly in my corner, an arduous and drawn out fight ensued that ultimately culminated in the delusion plaintiff PAYING ME a low five figure sum to settle the matter. Joe's considerable trial experience and knowledge of the law were invaluable, particularly since so much of my case and the plaintiff's conduct was downright bizarre. If I had another business dispute in North Carolina I would hire Joe Howell immediately.

I have worked with Jim on two different occasions, and each one was great. He filed my separation…read moreand divorce paperwork for me (back when he only did divorces), and even refiled paperwork with the judge at no cost to me, because he wanted to be sure the dates of my filing were correct (my case was extremely time-sensitive). Most recently, his new practice focuses on family estate planning, which is what he handled for me and my wife. Jim put together a family trust for us, a pour over will, powers of attorney, and advanced directives. Our family is now fully protected, and I thank Jim for that. He's very friendly and easy to talk to. He understands your needs and works with you to meet those needs. His fees were up front with zero surprises. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking at getting a will, or any other estate planning done.

Beware of this law firm! I signed on as a client for a few months and learned things the hard way -…read moreafter spending a few thousand dollars! The owner, Jim Hart, is all about marketing his business with internet blogs and mass emails. He effectively does so and exudes a sense of great knowledge and skills. But once he collects the retainer fee and the client signs on, he produces no results and drags on the process month after month. Communications to him were largely ignored but he's very quick to collect payments. Often, he charges the client all kinds of nonsense administrative fees. If these fees were ever questioned, then he'll charge additional fees for his response. The disruptive cycle drags on while very little attention is devoted to the actual case. It's this type of irresponsible and selfish practice that gives many lawyers a bad name.

Do NOT hire Tommy Maiolo as a private investigator, Period !…read more When you try to interview him questions on the phone, BEFORE you give him his $2500 retainer fee, he is VERY defensive and he is very hesitant on answering your questions. One of the principle questions on hiring a PRIVATE Investigator would be "Do you have three(3) references you can give me?" Tommy Maiolo became VERY hostile & nasty on the phone, and said to me "Of course I am NOT going to give you ANY references!!, I've NEVER had anyone ask me that question in all my years!!" That was the first and only time I asked Tommy that particular question. I then asked Tommy Maiolo "What hours do you work?" Again Tommy Maiolo responded in such a impatient, defensive and nasty voice "I am NOT going to tell you what hours I work!!" I followed-up with "Do you work 9 to 5 ?" Mr. Maiolo answered with "Look you do NOT tell me how to do my job !!" Again, that was the ONLY time I asked Tommy Maiolo that particular question. I asked Tommy Maiolo, "Do you have a license to practice as a Private Investigator?" he responded to me, "Look, you are asking me too many questions, you are being very needy!!" Again, I only asked Tommy Maiolo this question only one time. If you look anywhere on Google, you will see the advice on hiring Private Investigators in regards to an Investigator providing work References. This is what you will find --- probably the Number #1 FIRST question you need to ask is " Do you provide references?" "These references should include past clients who can attest to the PI's ability, professionalism, and success" "If your PI does not provide references, it's a red flag that probably means that they are either inexperienced or are often unsuccessful". "Be sure to look into private investigator's references to make sure they have a proven track record of success." "In this way, future clients can make an informed decision" Not only would Tommy Maiolo NOT answer if he had any references, But Tommy, in his response is hostile, defensive, impatient and a good indicator for the disregard on having any productive relationship on working with this guy. SAVE YOUR MONEY, look elsewhere
