    Amir was wonderful to work with during a particularly hard time after my mother passed…read more Amir was highly communicative, responsive, knowledgeable, efficient and overall a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

    He is quick on turn-around, as others noted. If someone wants a quick, adequate trust and ancillary…read moredocuments, he will be able to provide them. He uses a service that provides four types of trusts, and he explains the difference between each one in simple terms. We had a trust and all of the related documents completed by the top firm in the area. Upon an independent review, one issue was pointed out to us. The firm that had been working with us was swamped so, based on all of Amir's reviews, we decided to have him make the revisions. We told him why we were there and that we would have his documents reviewed before we signed. He was given the existing documents and told the points that were especially important to us and the part that we wanted changed. We got a draft very quickly. Great turnaround. But, he missed some key points. It was also frustrating that he sent them in a format that couldn't be converted to Word or PDF and set the link to expire in 5 days. When asked about it, he said it was the platform and necessary due to the size. First, I edit books and size isn't the issue. Second, we checked on the platform and the user controls the parameters. We finally got the documents printed and hand wrote notes on them. We were irritated and frustrated by how little attention he paid to our requests to port over sections from the existing trust. He was hurt by our comments. For someone with his CV, I would expect him to know that business is not personal. But, he wanted us to apologize in order to move forward. Because he appears wedded to his forms, he didn't draft the sections that we specifically requested up front. When we pointed it out several times, he asked us to write it. What we wanted was not unusual or difficult, but it didn't fit his forms. He couldn't copy it from the existing trust. That was mind blowing given how many hours he billed us for reading our trust. When the documents were finally at a stage where we were satisfied, we told him that we were sending them for independent review, as we had previously stated. This seemed to upset him. Two last issues: first, my husband thought he was sexist and dismissive of me. I am used to men looking at other men when answering my questions, so I didn't notice it. Second, I wanted to pay via electronic payment. Amir said he took Zelle. I accessed the app and asked him to put in his information. I asked him to double check it. My bank sets a limit on daily transactions. He said that was because of my credit score--others had higher limits. I took affront to this. My credit score is great. I sent the money to the info he provided. It bounced. I had to work with the bank to unwind the transaction. I asked Amir to send me his Zelle QR code. Instead, he sent not one but two demands for the full amount to my Zelle account. Since a Zelle demand for payment in excess of the bank's limit cannot be made, I had to reject both. I tried to send him a payment for the allowed amount, but the flagged his request and my attempts to pay him as fraud and froze my account. Because Amir refused to follow simple instructions, I had to spend hours with bank fraud investigators to have my account restored and verified. I have had my account at the same bank since I was in kindergarten and we were encouraged to save. My husband was counsel for banks and has banked there even longer than I have. Because we have joint accounts, his were frozen. This meant that our quarterly tax payment, health insurance, and other vital payments were being held. All in, Amir turned out documents quickly. Was pricey compared to the firm we regularly used, and appeared to struggle with either taking directions from a woman, or drafting documents and following instructions.

    I worked with Blacksburg Law on my estate plan and had a great experience from start to finish…read more Michael was thorough and detailed in the intro calls, walking me through the whole process, and later scheduled a wrap-up call to review the trust funding strategy and answer any remaining questions. Natalie, Stephanie, and the rest of Michael's team worked fast, kept me on track with regular follow-ups, and were always available to answer questions via email and phone. Highly recommend if you're looking for an estate planning firm that's responsive, organized, and genuinely helpful throughout.

    Updating my estate plan had been on my To Do list for over 10 years! My original estate planning…read moreattorney retired several years ago and I just kept procrastinating until I finally committed myself to this important task in early 2026. I scanned through Yelp and discovered Blacksburg Law and found the reviews very encouraging, and appreciated how robust and informative the firm's website was. I submitted an inquiry via Yelp and we were off to the races! The entire process was excellent and seamless, from first contact to final delivery of my estate plan. The team was incredible - professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. I greatly appreciated the team's use of technology -- from the intake questionnaire, Zoom meetings, client workspace portal, and remote notary. These tools made the entire process frictionless and allowed me to complete my "homework" even while traveling. I highly recommend Blacksburg Law for either creating your first estate plan or updating one that is overdue for a revision. Thank you Michael and Team!

    My business had to close because of the Pandemic and we were, to say the least, devastated by it…read more The commercial space we occupied came after us with a vengeance but little did they know we had retained SuperMan, PHILLIP DIAMOND, from the Lerman Law Group. Phillip is a master at his craft (LAW) he responded with detail and strength he kept us apprised of our case and calmed all our fears. We believe that if it had not been for Phillip we would have had to pay a huge sum of money. We not only have gained a trusted reliable lawyer but a true friend I recommend Phillip Diamond of The Lerman Law Group for all your legal matters Superman will get the job done.

    We were so fortunate to have happened upon Phil Diamond by chance after we'd moved out of state…read moreonly to have a contract dispute arise from our home sale. It is an emotional, frightening process but Phil will floor you with his meticulous preparation and attention to detail throughout your path to resolution, and it's remarkable for your representative to actually have such an elevated bedside manner, too-- we needed it, and upon resolution of the matter we consider him a friend. He's been around the block-- you'll receive incredible insight into likely options and phases of the process, and it meant the world to us to be able to have some expectations set as we sailed into foreign waters. We marveled at the quality of his communications with us and the other party, and he brings exemplary advocacy for your interests, with a wealth of stunningly clever and wise protections that will preserve your rights and seek only fair, advantageous compromises (if amicable closure is what you seek, that is... I wager if we'd wanted to draw out a protracted battle that Phil would've been the bulldog you'd always hoped to have in your corner). We can't recommend him highly enough, and welcome inquiries on his behalf if that would help your decision.
