Matthew Talbot was my lawyer in my Financial Elder Abuse case. After paying him over $80,000, he…read morewas disqualified by Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Virginia M. George. Mr. Talbot failed to disclose to me that he previously met with the person I was suing and discussed my case with her. Mr. Talbot said the he misspelled the other persons name and therefore, she did not show up on his client file. After Judge George looked at the evidence provided by the person I was suing, the Judge determined that Mr. Talbot did in fact discuss my case with her and therefore, she disqualified him. I hired another attorney, but after spending another $20,000 on the new attorney, I realized I did not have the funds to get the new attorney up to speed. Mr. Talbot did offer to only reimburse me for $20,000, but later rescinded his offer. Although my being a disabled first responder injured in the line of duty and a senior citizen, Mr. Talbot displayed no compassion or remorse for his error. Nor did he want to make things right. Please feel free to get Mr. Talbot's side of the story should you decide to interview him to represent you. My Contra Costa County Court case number is P22-01239. Mr. Talbot's disqualification is noted in the court records.

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!
