My husband and I had been looking for an attorney who offered fair, transparent pricing for estate…read moreplanning services, including our wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death (TOD) designations, and advanced health care directives. We'd had a trust in place when our children were younger but didn't feel one was necessary now that they are adults and our assets have clear beneficiaries and TODs. The first firm we consulted insisted that we needed a new trust, quoting roughly $3,000 in upfront meetings before any documents were even prepared, plus a $500 annual maintenance fee. When we met with Kathryn, the experience was entirely different. She provided clear, set fees from the start, listened carefully to our situation, and agreed that a trust wasn't needed at this stage. She also drafted our wills in a way that makes it easy to transition to a trust later if our financial situation changes. Kathryn was a pleasure to work with--professional, personable, and efficient. Her office had our completed documents ready within two weeks. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for straightforward, reasonably priced estate planning guidance.

Recently I got a scary letter from the IRS indicating a trust was paid to me so we owed more money…read moreon our taxes. However there was no such trust! I had to find someone to sort this out who could tell the IRS this money was never ours but I didn't know where to begin. After careful googling of the address the IRS gave us I found Barbara Dehart's law office and spoke to her secretary. I was very impressed that upon hearing me describe the situation to her secretary, Barbara herself picked up the phone to talk to me. Any lawyer I have ever worked with is often too busy to come to the phone, let alone for someone who was never a client! But she did. And she was very kind and gave me some good advice on how to sort this mess out. I requested she fax a letter on my behalf indicating this trust was never paid to me and she was clear that she could not do it that day but I would have it no later than Monday. She went over the information we should include in the later. Sure enough, Monday morning there it was. I don't live in NH but if you do and you need a lawyer, rest assured you'd get top notch treatment from Barbara Dehart. If she is this kind to non-clients I am sure her client-service is even better!

From our first appointment I had complete confidence and trust in Attorney Brown and felt he had…read moreconfidence in me. In the fifteen years (in my work) I heard a lot of negative comments about attorneys, but my confidence never wavered. In my defense Attorney Brown chose expert referrals, who had exceptional qualifications in their field and he kept them thoroughly informed with all the complicated details related to my case. For over a year his staff worked diligently on my behalf - coordinating endless notes and information. During the trial Attorney Brown kept my wife, family and friends updated. My life verse Proverbs 3:5, 6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. But in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." I believe God guided us to Attorney Brown and is using this course of events for His purpose in our lives. Thank you for this opportunity to share in brief our heartfelt gratitude.

I hired Shaheen and Gordon to help me with a neighbor who was encroaching on my property. I became…read morea little concerned when they made a mistake on their engagement letter and decided to stick with them since I needed assistance and finding a lawyer who could assist in real estate law in New Hampshire has been challenging. I received a draft within approximately two weeks which matched the expectations set during the initial meeting. After week three and requesting a status update, the letter was sent to the neighbor, and my issue was quickly resolved by the neighbor. A new issue was identified with a different neighbor, however after reaching out to the attorney for assistance, this was missed without resolution. I then cancelled the request for assistance and closed my account. Around the time of the second issue, I was asking for assistance with a living trust and a different attorney was recommended. I made an appointment to meet the new attorney and hear what services he was able to provide. When I called the billing department about receiving the balance of my retainer, billing informed me that she wanted to hold on to the retainer for future possible business. I decided to cancel my appointment with the individual who might have been able to assist me with a living trust to receive the balance of my retainer and help their billing team understand that holding on to my retainer balance was not going to be an option for them. My perception is when options are limited quality can be sacrificed due to limitations of options.

I found procedural deficiencies a seasoned attorney like him should have spotted immediately. He failed to provide sound counsel and was a complete waste of money.

As a State Representative, I would never use this firm.

I called to ask his opinion on a legal matter and all I received was a lecture while being talked down to culminating with him quoting an exorbitant retaining fee (because he wasn't interested and assumed I couldn't afford it). When he arrogantly asked "do YOU have $5,000" and was told yes he then said while that's over an hour away I'm not interested it would be too much running around you should find a lawyer in that area. So if you are looking to retain a lawyer dealing with real estate and enjoy being talked down to from a bitter washed up angry old man I highly recommend giving Danny boy a call.
