I had a nasty accident. Took many months for me to actually walk post hospitalization. And rehab…read more And lost wages. Came here because they were/are close to home. What an effing stupid choice. Showed up hoping to possible recoup some of my expenditures. Greenan, the elder, has me walk up many stairs to speak to him. He has the cool office and perhaps 30 stairs, old farmhouse. My leg, at this point, looked like a well beaten side of beef. Three times the size of my "good" leg. After I literally crawl up the stairs - for real- he tells me I have no case. I am beaten down. And he was pissy.. Got my butt out of there and called Celllino and Barnes - enough later about them...and have decided to never, ever deal with this local organization. Lesson learned.

We sold our house during then first quarter of 2018 (closing was in March). Contrary to the first…read morereviews, they were great, very professional and personable right from the start. The were very transparent and open in their communication, we knew exactly what we needed to do, when we needed to do it... there were no surprises and everything went very smoothly. That was quite the difference from our previous closing experience. To complicate it more, due to my traveling out of state, they worked with me to ensure the timing worked out perfectly for both us and the buyers. Additionally, we chose them is because they were right in our community and are very involved in supporting the community. Overall, I cannot say enough about the Greenan Law offices... they were fantastic, and highly recommended!

I have pretty much stayed away from dealing with the paperwork detailing my daughter's episode with…read morePaul Michalek however today I was forced to re-read and re-live the nonsense. I've pretty much stated my concerns previously however in researching old files...for a new attorney..I came across the "Vacate Order" dismissing all sole custody requests. HELLO!!!! This is what the whole issue was about. After having my husband contact Mr. Michalek - he charges by the hour however I can't stand the criticism, the downspeak and the overall little man vent when he spoke to me, you know, women being stupid and stuff; Mr. Michalek charged me for his error. And his bill came on very lovely stationery, very dense with nicely placed embossment. I would love to delete this last star....but I can't.

I found Jane Harrington, and the rest of the Michalek & Harrington firm, to be excellent. Not only…read moreare they knowledgeable and experienced, but they go above and beyond what is expected of any attorney. They don't charge for every minute of their time either, like phone calls or meetings. They simply charge a flat rate (more reasonable than most lawyers) and give you everything they've got. They are honest, too. Some people might take this as rude, but it might just be because it's something you don't want to hear. For the best possible outcome, I'd go to this firm any day.

I can't say enough about how amazing these people are! From the secretary Amie, to lawyers Dan and…read moreLisa. They were some of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever dealt with !
