We contacted RMO not knowing if their firm was the kind of attorney we would need. Karen Sameyah responded to my inquiry quickly and was so helpful in explaining that what they do is not what we needed help with, and she even provided names of a couple of other attorneys who may be able to help us. It was reassuring to speak with someone in the legal field who listened and answered with compassion, and who didn't ghost us after we reached out. Common courtesy and respect go a long way and Karen embodied that in our conversation. If we were to ever need this kind of legal help, we'll reach out to RMO, LLP based just on this interaction. read more

Spoke to their intake person. She got general information on my case. Proceed to tell me the deposit amount is 25,000.00 and charges were 450 an hour and up. Ask me several times did I have the money for the deposit. I tried to explain they hadn't even look at my paper work. She ask me how much am I looking to get. I told her (x amount) or more...there was questionable things I need to discuss with the attorney. She told me they don't normally handle cases so low.. She could recommend me to someone else. I told her I didn't need her recommendation. I had a list of attorneys I was calling.. Really pushy about that deposit. I do not recommend them... read the other reviews. read more

This could be the most unethical law firm I've ever done business with. There isn't an honest attorney there. They will bilk you dry with NO results. They will assign your case to the lowest attorney in the firm. They handled our case for 8 months with NO results and a bill near $100,000.00 that I had to contact the California Bar association to get in down to a reasonable payment of only $40,000. BTW none of their work moved our case forward. Got results, a settlement in a few months with another firm for over $1,000,000. Stay away from them and don't believe their PR hype. read more

Our experience with RMO Lawyers has been one of the most discouraging and disheartening experiences of our lives. From the very first call, we were transparent and gave every single detail of our case so the firm could determine whether they would take us on. We were told our case was promising and that they would represent us, and based on that assurance, we moved forward. We paid a $25,000 retainer in good faith during one of the hardest times in our lives. After we began working with them, we continued to provide even more documents and sensitive personal information. Only then did they suddenly tell us that, based on what we had just given them, our case was not strong and did not appear to be in our favor. This was incredibly upsetting because all of that information had already been disclosed in detail before the retainer was paid. They knew these facts upfront, yet still accepted the $25,000. What followed was mortifying. After receiving little to no meaningful support, we were forced to fight to recover our funds. It took multiple calls and persistent follow-up to finally get $19,700 of the retainer returned. However, $5,300 was kept by them--and we are absolutely mortified that over five thousand dollars has now been taken away. The initial call is supposed to be the time when a law firm evaluates whether a case has merit. Instead, it felt like RMO used that call as bait, making us believe we had a strong case only to take a substantial retainer and deliver almost nothing in return. From our perspective, this is less about advocacy and more about making quick money. At a time when we needed honesty, integrity, and guidance, we were met with the opposite. No family should ever have to go through what we did. I would highly advise staying away from this law firm altogether. read more

Excellent - nothing short of amazing! I'm an attorney myself but I certainly do not practice in the probate litigation field - I reached out to them for one of my cases that had a probate crossover (even though I was defending a client in an employment defense case) and they were quick to respond and answer all my questions. Due to their sage advice, we won and got our client out of the matter without having to pay a penny. I'd highly recommend them; they are excellent. read more

Dealing with Intake "Marsella" is the most unpleasant experience I've ever had! I have worked as a paralegal for 50 plus years! Her behavior and lack of kindness and compassion is unbelievable! She is an example of how this firm unfairly treats survivors of greedy family members who are attempting to seek fairness and justice. Marsella is not a licensed attorney. She is tasked with filling out a "very complex form". The law firm I work for would be horrified if I treated our clients like this woman treated me! By the way the videos are educational and helpful. It's too bad Marsella is turning away legitimate legal matters the nature of which requires a licensed attorney to assess. The only services I received as the privilege of releasing personal information and then being told point blank this is a large firm who cannot take my case! Their website that offers a free consultation is misleading. Justice Delayed is Justice Denied! I will seek legal counsel elsewhere! read more

They over charge for the work they do. Terminated our arrangement before the matter was complete. Not satisfied at all. Found another firm that was more attentive that charges the same rate but gets the work done twice as fast so they did not over inflate the bill. read more

The nice people at RMO guided me through the issues I was having with my mom's estate and were helpful and professional. I highly recommend them." read more

Karen Sameyah spoke my language... the language of the heart! Both legal and loving-kindness. She understood the matter was sensitive, but also knew I was in the legal profession and took great care to ensure all my legal questions were thoroughly resolved by the attorney. She is a representation of the care and legal professionalism this office provides. Megan, the attorney handling the matter, reviewed the complicated legal questions pertaining to real estate and after untangling it, she was able to provide direction and invaluable guidance; which Karen meticulously relayed to me. I am forever grateful to RMO LLP. read more

Karen responded immediately and was very kind in taking my information. Then a lengthy conversation about my dad's death and his trust challenges. Scott is very kind and knowledgeable. He listened without interrupting and knew the kind of family members I was dealing with. This is a very reputable law firm that will take your matters seriously and win for you. read more

There are not enough words in the dictionary for me to properly describe just how wonderful Scott Rahn is, not only as an attorney but as a human being as well. He handled a trust/probate nightmare for me a few years ago. He is incredible. He is the most brilliant and compassionate attorney I have ever known. If I ever needed to, I would hire him again and again.... and again. read more

This group came highly recommended but I needed someone licensed in Virginia. Within a couple hours of my call, Stephany had a referral for me. If I ever need someone local I will reach back out to this firm. Thank you for great customer service! read more

Terrible!!! No empathy especially after being willing to pay 50,000 retainer I will never refer anyone to this unprofessional firm

I had a phone consultation with Scott to explore legal options following my father's death. His paralegal reached out ahead of time to ensure that he had all of the pertinent documentation and a clear understanding of my questions ahead of time so we could make the most of our time. Scott was prompt and very pleasant; he asked excellent, incisive questions and provided me with thoughtful advice. Scott is clearly well-versed in dealing with the emotional upset that comes from handling such sensitive family matters and he was exceptionally kind and compassionate while discussing my case. I never felt pushed into making a decision I wasn't comfortable with and greatly appreciated his candor. I would absolutely engage Scott and his firm again, should the need arise - thank you! read more

This place is more interested in ratings and NOT helping/working even if offered to be paid. Provide wrong information and excuses. Do not show knowledge. I'd strongly recommend NOT to do any business with this place. read more

I gave RMO a call Monday as my current attorney took another job offer and is leaving his family firm. The assistant Karen was beyond helpful in writing down all my notes about my case to make sure she passed along the information to the attorney I would be consulting with. She quickly set up an appointment with attorney Sean who was extremely helpful in guiding me towards what next steps he would take if I decided to move forward with him. I appreciated how knowledgeable he was and how honest he was about the fees his firm would have to collect if I decided to move forward. Unfortunately a 25k retainer fee was beyond what I could afford at the moment as I just closed in escrow. I am rating them a 4 not due to to their attentiveness but because they were definitely on the higher spectrum of retainer fees. I will be giving them a call in the future if there is a smaller case I may need help with, but unfortunately for now it just wasn't the right fit. Who knows, it could be for you though! So be sure to give them a call read more

I called RMO because I was helping my elderly dad with a trust issue that was very unique, especially because of timing. I wanted to find out if we had case or whether it would be worth pursuing legal routes to rectify the situation since a lot of time had passed. It turned out we probably didn't have much of a case, but I appreciated Scott Rahn's candor and his willingness to give some tips on how to best handle the situation without having to hire an attorney. I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again if I have another legal issue. read more

My estate planning attorney referred me to Scott Rahn because he felt that he couldn't fulfill my estate planning goals. I spoke with Scott Rahn after sending all required documents for his review and in 10 minutes on the phone he identified how to accomplish our goals that my estate planning attorney felt he was unable to solve. Scott Rahn referred me back to my attorney and said that my attorney could actually handle my case and told me to tell my attorney how to apply the power of appointment to change the distribution of benefits in the bypass trust that seemed irrevocable. read more
