    Jeff Sayre is the man. He also happens to be the boss. Not in some mafioso kind of way, but of…read moreSayre Law Offices. But you'd never know it, because when you're in trouble in a civil or business matter, he'll make you a deal you can't refuse -- great legal work at a reasonable price. You might think that the "Sayre" in "Sayre Law Office" is named after Jeff, but it is actually named after Jeff's father, also a lawyer, who started the office years ago. He has since retired, and this father/son "team" is now just Jeff and his several associates. Ok, so our small business (also father/son) was in trouble. There's no good guys or bad guys, really, more like a sad situation where the ex-partner of the business became a debilitating alcoholic, and eventually died of it. So years later, his daughter brought suit against the ongoing money that was sent by our business to this ex-partner's ex-wife in residual payments. The daughter was seeking her daughterly share. Fair enough. I'll spare you the sordid details of misinformation, accusations, and heated arguments that ensued. But in short, a settlement was finally reached, and now all parties can move forward with our lives, thankfully. It's time. I happen to be an attorney who works in this business doing non-attorney work, but I have a very good idea of when I am dealing with the REAL DEAL attorney, or not. Let me give you some "insider" advice: The REAL DEAL attorney is NOT: 1. The "PIT BULL" -- this breed of attorney is aggressive, but not usually very bright, so the more patient, brighter attorneys just wait for them to make mistakes that they take full advantage of. Often, the Pit Bull doesn't even realize they've screwed their own clients and themselves after it's over. 2. The "GENERALIST" who can "do everything". This used to be the way it was, when laws were much simpler. But today, this attorney is a dying breed, and for good reason -- maybe they can sort of do everything, but they will do nothing very well. 3. The "SLEAZEBALL". This guy will break every rule, ethically, to get as much money in their pocket as they can, as opposed to giving any kind of shit about their clients. This small minority of attorneys will lie, cheat, and steal for their own ends -- often screwing over their own clients, and give every other attorney a bad name in the process. The REAL DEAL IS: Kinda boring, really. BUT... an ethical attorney who treats you and other attorneys with respect. They search for positive outcomes for you, the client, take time to reflect, do their research, and think out of the box. The REAL DEAL does not base decisions made on your behalf, on how much money they will get out of that decision. And they have experience in some specific subfield or fields of law. Ideally, they will also have relationships with high-quality professionals in related fields, such as accountants, or investigators, who's work can be indispensable in succeeding with your case. Jeff Sayre is the REAL DEAL. He handled our case ethically (unlike the opposing attorney, who hid key information which, once found out, ultimately benefited us). Jeff is competent, respectful, and in the end, I believe he saved us a bundle of money. He provided us with... VALUE! (ooohs and aaaahs.) If we ever find ourselves in trouble again (heaven's forbid! knock on wood, salt over shoulder), or just need advice on a business matter, I will definitely go back to Jeff Sayre's office of skilled and ethical attorneys. Highly recommended (and that really is saying a lot coming from me). (Note: This office moved last year from Jefferson Street to 1320 University Street)

He at first disappeared for almost 2 months after receiving $45,000 from me, he didn't reply any email I sent him. Then, one time, he yelled at me on the phone out of no reason ( maybe my accent irritated him?). When I tried to say something, he said he didn't understand what I said, and started saying what he wanted to say. Another time, I emailed him I felt too depressed to call him, and right away I got his call. ( Is this some sort of abusive behavior? Or he doesn't know what respect is? Weird thing was he hanged up in the middle of conversation, and emailed me he tried to call me back, but I didn't answer the phone, while I still had my phone in my hand, and no call coming) He always did his work at last minute, and never sent me drafts for comments or feedback before filing to the court. ( he seemed to forget that's my appeal? Or he just doesn't know what respect is?) When the appeal was denied, he said he didn't have much time to prepare petition for review. So he would file a motion for reconsideration, which would be denied for sure, but it would give him more time to prepare for petition, and of course, I had to pay for the time he spent on the motion which was going to be denied for certain, that's about $8,000 after I got the invoice. In the end, I paid him $44,000. I was glad I finally fired him because I really didnt know if he wanted to help, or he just wanted my money, and "pretended" to help. I have been treated with disrespect and abuse by this lawyer. I actually felt at the 2 time meeting he didn't seem to want to help after talking to former lawyer Anna Tolin ( Tolin law firm) who has tried to persuade me to give up my right to my appeal. But I didn't know why he decided to take my appeal, if he didn't want to help.

Months later in his waiting room, I pondered Christopher's vintage photo of a train wreck. A jaded metaphor for my once-hopeful marriage? -- no, this was about what I still had coming. Christopher presented his credentials. Graduated from Harvard... specialized in game theory... leader of the county bar association's family law section... he's in my neighborhood... How could I go wrong? After I retained Christopher, I learned he'd recently fallen out with his legal partner (hence the name change from "Rao and Pierce"). In the transition, the support staff were in flux and disarray. Early on, his team neglected to file critical documents. They made an embarrassing factual error about my son. To my repeated requests they were often nonresponsive. I harangued them to complete my will. Throughout, we let opposing counsel drive a simplistic narrative. "We're keeping our powder dry", Christopher would tell me. He did object to the judge about OC's page counts... Our court orders? all drafted by OC. We lost and we lost, and each time Christopher declared some small victory. And he'd regularly criticize me. "I'm tough on my clients", he'd tell me. Regularly I wondered if I'd hired an adversary, not an advocate. From other reviewers I'm seeing I'm not alone in this. Two years and about $100K later we withdrew, and Christopher's long-suffering assistant wrote me, "Thank you for being you, for being kind, caring and never being afraid to express your emotions. You will always be one of my favorite clients." Divorce is already too traumatic. Much as I empathize with his staff, I suggest that you avoid Christopher Rao.
