It was a very positive and worthwhile experience and I plan to use them again in the future. I highly recommend the Macey-Cushman & Reilly Law Firm for Trust and Estate Law planning. 5STARS*****

I needed help creating a formal parenting…read moreplan and establishing boundaries with my teen's biological parent who has proven challenging to communicate with over the last 12+ years. Mr. Savage was able to quickly pick up my case when my former firm/attorney retired from family law. He acted with urgency, making time to review all previous materials and correspondences, to meet with me to understand my goals, and clearly communicated next steps and timeline. It is clear to me that Mr. Savage is very comfortable and knowledgeable when it comes to family law. He was able to catch small things that my previous attorney missed or actions the former firm had taken that were no longer the standard. This keen eye for detail made all the difference in my case and we were able to get a parenting plan in place, despite a lack of cooperation from the respondent, during our first hearing. Mr. Savage was incredibly responsive and even caught an after-hours declaration the respondent emailed hours before the hearing. He notified me right away and advised me of the next probable steps, eliminating concerns I had over the last-minute response. I was also impressed with Mr. Savage's integrity; for example he informed the commissioner of the respondent's declaration despite its untimely arrival and the respondent failing to appear at the hearing. My overall experience was 5 gold stars! Huge thank you to Mr. Savage and team.

Answer a few standard questions, chat about your impending death, and whammo! You've got yourself a legally binding will, power of attorney, health care advance directive, etc. Betsy also told us everything about death we wouldn't have even known to ask. Plus, she and her husband even come to *your* house for a signing party so you get the documents right away. It wasn't cheap, but check to see if your company has a legal plan (ours paid for almost everything!). But it was thorough, painless, and quick. Just like I hope that impending death of mine will be. (FYI: Betsy knows all the good ways to dispose of your body: cremation, burial at sea, composting, being turned into a tree ...)

I paid a $10,000 retainer to begin working with the firm. During the first couple of weeks, they repeatedly misspelled my name and there seemed to be confusion internally about who was responsible for different parts of my case. I had to follow up multiple times just to get basic things moving. Communication throughout the process was frustrating. Different members of the team appeared to have different understandings of what was happening in my case, and I often felt like I had to repeat information several times. I kept extremely organized documentation and provided everything they asked for, but progress still felt slow and disorganized. Another issue was how communication was handled from a billing standpoint. Many emails came back filled with legal jargon that was difficult to understand, which meant I had to reply asking for clarification. Each of those back-and-forth responses was billed time. When we eventually went to court, I was disappointed with how the hearing went and how unprepared my attorney appeared. Afterward I was told the outcome wasn't what they expected. That particular process alone cost around $6,000. By the time everything was finished, about $20,000 had been billed and my situation was actually worse than when I started. My advice to anyone considering this firm would be to ask very detailed questions about communication, preparation, and expected costs before signing a retainer.

I was met with a whole host of promises..... unfortunately, they were just like the others. Every month I received bills (felt like every 2 weeks) for thousands of dollars while actually accomplishing nothing!!! I saved and saved to try to get some justice, hoping and praying I could get something back for my 26 years of service to this country. All I got in the end was bills again totaling in the tens of thousands of dollars over the course of months with zero wins on my end! Not ONE win!! I was just a bill every month after promise after promise. Save your time, energy, money and sanity.... Find another law firm. Garret Filletti and Elise Bleu will NOT fight for you!!

Robert Miller gave me honest feedback and realistic expectations, making the decision to retain him easy. Throughout my case, everything was handled promptly, thoroughly, and professionally. I was blown away with how well Mr. Miller presented in court at each hearing. He is direct, fact-based, and articulate with an incredible knack for saying the things that need to be said without being derogatory. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Miller. I realize good facts do more for one's case than the attorney, but I firmly believe I would not come away with what I did had I not been represented by him. He handles everything with a precision that leaves the opposing counsel fumbling and stumbling. - JD P.S. I saw several reviews that pointed out how "little" he does versus how "much" is done by his paralegal. News flash: that's how it works and it's not a bad thing. I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact that his paralegal is an absolute rock star and just as much a part of my success as Mr. Miller.
