We just encountered the worst experience with this attorney, Christopher R. Smith, Esq. on our…read morefirst home purchase. He was referred to us by our realtor and our mistake is that we never researched him before proceeding to seek his legal services. We asked him his legal fees for a new home purchase and he categorically charged us his flat fee for his services. Later on we detected that he had indicated an entirely different amount in our closing disclosures without discussing anything with us. Also, although we had clearly communicated and told him that we were not interested in homeowners title insurance, he went ahead to get it for us again without consulting us. On researching him, we found out that he sells title insurance, and is an examining counsel for the same title insurance company from which he purchased ours without consent despite saying "No, thank you!" When we drew his attention to these, he quickly got belligerent towards us. Although we had sought his legal services, he never contacted us to familiarize us with the process or give us directions on what to expect through the process. Rather, we had to do our own research on what to expect every step of the way. The issue that broke the camel's back for us: at our final walkthrough the house, a problem was detected that we requested fixed before we close on the house. This is a basic right of every home buyer. Although it is common practice for sellers to offer credit for detected problems on a house, it doesn't erase the buyer's right to request a fix instead. As our legal representative, we expected Chris to be on our side and work in our favor as all professional attorneys do. Instead, he began mounting pressure on us to close on the house despite the detected problem. This is violation of a buyer's right. If the buyer prefers the problem fixed instead of receiving credit, this right should be respected without any intimidation whatsoever. He wanted us to accept credit for this problem and close quickly (because we had exposed him on the earlier issues and he wanted to get done with us) and we preferred getting the problem fixed instead before proceeding to close. I could not believe the intimidation and threats this attorney hailed on us in attempts to frighten us and to compel us to rush to close. He is the most unprofessional, uncaring, and unethical attorney I have ever seen. He has no interest in, and certainly has no respect for the rights of his clients. We are considering launching a complaint with the bar on our experience with him. He completely mistreated us and had zilch interest in defending our basic rights as his clients.

After getting severely injured in a car accident and was unable to work I decided to find a lawyer…read moreand see if I had a personal injury case. I originally went with a different law firm but was very unhappy with their service. My husband had used MCV Law for workers comp and we found out they also work with personal injury within the firm, we decided to make an appointment and see what they have to say about my MVA. After speaking with Patricia Stegeman for over an hour we decided right then and there to transfer the case over to MCV Law and for the next 4 1/2 years I have not regretted that decision. Alicia Loomis, Patricia and the other attorneys on this case worked diligently over the last several years trying to get me what we all thought was deserved. They kept me informed every step of the way during this entire head pounding process and in the end cheered for me when everything was finalized. This law firm is one of the best low key law firms in Centeral NY and I would recommend them to any family or friends that ever end up in a predicament like mine!

Their staff is incredibly hardworking, trustworthy, and attentive, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring regardless of the situation. I would especially like to recognize Aimee, who is always a pleasure to work with. She brings a positive, personable energy to every interaction while remaining highly effective, knowledgeable, and driven in everything she does. No matter the size or complexity of the case, Nave Law Firm approaches each situation with the same level of care and professionalism. I am truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and dedicated legal assistance.

Extremely Disappointed With This Representation…read more I paid this law firm $5,000 for representation, and I honestly feel like I received little to no value for that money. Throughout my case, there was so much miscommunication that I was left without a clear understanding of what my sentence would actually involve and what would be expected of me. I repeatedly felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, my questions were not properly answered, and important details about my plea, probation, and license were not clearly explained to me. I often had to chase down answers myself and do my own research just to understand what was happening with my own case. When I did speak with my attorney, I often felt talked down to and treated as though my questions were a burden. I expected professional communication and patience, especially considering the amount of money I paid for representation. For $5,000, I expected someone who would communicate with me, prepare me, explain my options, listen to my concerns, and actually advocate for me. Instead, I felt like my case was treated as though it wasn't important. Quite honestly, I feel I would have received the same level of attention from a free public defender--and at least then I wouldn't have paid $5,000 expecting personalized legal representation. This experience has left me extremely disappointed and dissatisfied. I would not recommend this firm to anyone who expects their attorney to communicate with them, treat them with respect, answer their questions, and genuinely advocate for their interests. $5,000 is a significant amount of money. I expected significantly more than what I received.
