I literally just created this business on Yelp just so I can give this business a…read morebelievably-mediocre review. This is a rage-review, so admittedly, the 2 star may not be an accurate assessment of their actual competency as a law firm; I don't wanna be one of those reviewers that gives a business 1 star just because I don't like them. (So 2 is better, right?) My boyfriend and I decided to schedule an appointment with this law firm for Tuesday, September 12. We made this appointment on September 8. It had to be a law firm in Montgomery County due to jurisdictional issues, and we live in Fairfax County about 4 hours away. That means we drove down 4 hours on Monday night, stayed at an Airbnb, and were on the way to our 10am appointment, when at 9:35am, they called and cancelled. "Something came up." They even knew we came from northern Virginia, and we would have to stay another day to consult with them--I would miss another work day (at the end of the FY too) and he would miss another day of class. The BF asked if there's any way they can reschedule the appointment for later that day (as opposed to the next day), and they said they can move things around and do 4:30--aka the end of the day when Montgomery Court is already closed. Way to waste our time. The consultation is among the cheaper of other law firms at $100, and a lot of people did refer us to this firm, which must mean they do something right (unless they're referring to us to them because they need help with getting business lol). However, the firm we went with--Robertson Law--ended up meeting with us after just a quick phone call within 15 minutes, and he didn't even charge us for a consultation fee! Robertson Law is the one I would recommend. Connors Law also said they're not likely to take on cases unless they make $1500 or more off of it. Not sure if that's standard or not, but it still turned me off: Seems like Connors went into law for money, whereas Robertson went into it to actually help people. Edit: The administrative clerk ended up calling me after I created this business on Yelp and posted this review to apologize--I guess they got notified of this review from Yelp. We appreciate the apology. And I know emergencies and unforeseen dire circumstances happen (not sure what the case was this time though). It's just frustrating on the client's part to have potentially wasted 8 hours of driving round trip for nothing.

I've never had an attorney call me back as soon as Matt Schottmiller does when I leave a message. He has helped me with contract negotiations for my business, along with legal advice for several issues that have arisen. Recently Matt helped my family with estate planning for my grandmother. My grandmother is very hard to please. Matt took the time to explain everything to her and my mom, making everyone comfortable. My grandmother raved about him. My mom was extremely impressed and liked how he made sure my grandmother's best interests were top of mind. Highly recommend Matt Schottmiller and his office.

I called back within a week to the day of making the first phone call, and was told I was rejected for being "too young". I am also in my 30s. Not only was I not even remotely considered, I was spoken to very rudely, and never received a vocal rejection, nor by email. I should've went with my gut when I read the horrible reviews beforehand, but instead of I gave them the benefit of the doubt, because I was in desperate need of help. Do not consider this law firm. If that's how they handle business, then they obviously don't care. Do better.
