Thank you for replying, but your response doesn't address the specific issues I raised, so I want…read moreto clarify several points for accuracy. 1. Neither contract I signed authorizes absorbing my trust balance. I reviewed both the original hourly retainer and the later fixed‑fee agreement. There is no clause allowing my remaining trust funds to be "absorbed," "rolled into," or "applied toward" monthly installments. When I asked for clarification at the time, no section of the contract was cited, because none exists. 2. I was told to pay an additional $9,500 to replenish the trust. At that point, I still had $5,039.50 remaining. When I explained I couldn't pay another $9,500 upfront, the fixed‑fee monthly plan was then offered as an alternative. 3. I only learned I was being charged monthly regardless of contact after requesting an accounting twice. When I finally understood I had been paying for months of no work, I asked for the remaining trust balance to be returned. Only then was I told it had been "rolled into the installments," despite no such agreement appearing in either contract. 4. The fixed‑fee contract itself was contradictory. It used "installments" in one section and "monthly fee" in another, without clearly stating that I would be charged monthly whether or not any work was performed. That lack of clarity is exactly why I had to request an accounting multiple times. 5. I ultimately had to file a federal FERPA complaint myself. After spending six hours reviewing the records the district sent to your office, I identified multiple critical documents that were missing and brought those omissions to your attention several times. Because those issues remained unaddressed, I had to pursue a federal complaint on my own. That was not the outcome I expected after two years of paid representation. My review is based on contracts, billing statements, and written communication. Your reply does not dispute any of these facts.

During the sales process, he provided Invaluable guidance on property line and other technical issues. After reviewing several offers, Mr Aron guided our final contract agreement and arranged a same day closing with our North Carolina attorney / Home purchase . Our NC attorney made an error at closing, not pro-rating property taxes for 2025. Once again, Mr Aron guided us on how to insure the omission was corrected. In addition, Mr Aron, offered his Tax Practice to assist in preparing 2025 IRS, Connecticut and Maryland tax filings. Mr Aron advised my family on how to proceed and file all three state filings, without retaining a tax preparation service in each state.

**Caution Advised Before Retaining This Firm**…read more Based on my experience with Maya Murphy, LLP, I cannot recommend their services. My full story is below if you care to read on, but here are alternative firms to engage in CT and NY: **Connecticut** * Lucas and Varga, LLC: [https://lucasvargalaw.com](https://lucasvargalaw.com) * Richard L. Pate Law Offices: [https://www.richardlpateconnecticutemploymentlawyer.com](https://www.richardlpateconnecticutemploymentlawyer.com) **New York** * Granovsky & Sundaresh PLLC: [https://g-s-law.com](https://g-s-law.com) * Phillips & Associates: [https://www.newyorkcitydiscriminationlawyer.com](https://www.newyorkcitydiscriminationlawyer.com) While initial consultations were promising and the firm appeared engaged after I paid a \$5,000 retainer, the quality of service quickly declined. Communication became sporadic, and billing lacked transparency--there were long stretches with no updates, followed by a sudden, substantial bill. After partial payment, they indicated they would no longer negotiate on my behalf unless the outstanding amount was paid in full. At several points, it appeared the firm prioritized their fees over my case. Promises of strong representation and an optimistic outcome did not materialize. In fact, the handling of the matter ultimately weakened my position, and the final settlement amount covered mostly legal fees--with little benefit to me as a client. Key issues I experienced include: * Long periods with no attorney contact * Last-minute reassignment to a different lawyer with little context * Missed or delayed meetings * Poor communication and apparent lack of case familiarity * Settlement pressure with little room for discussion These concerns mirror those raised in other negative reviews. I urge potential clients to research thoroughly and consider alternative firms before proceeding. This review reflects my personal experience and is intended to help others make informed decisions.
