hired Howard Birmiel for a civil case and paid approximately $30,000 in legal fees…read more We won the case, but the judgment was never collected because the papers were not properly served. As a result, the case later had to be reopened, and I was left having spent $30,000 with no recovery. This was extremely frustrating and financially damaging. Winning a case means very little if the procedural steps are handled incorrectly. I would not hire this attorney again.

"Likely to go out of business soon..." That part of John's 2021 review kind of got to me. Sure,…read moreMr. Howard Birmiel's office is not glamorous and his coffee is bad (he needs a new coffee pot). However, if you have thorny legal and/or tough title problems with your real estate settlement, Howard Birmiel is the attorney to trust. With over 40 years of law experience, real estate buyers and sellers are well served by Mr. Howard Birmiel. I met Howard over 20 years at a settlement with ridiculously tough title issues. The seller hugged Mr. Birmiel at the conclusion of settlement as she was so happy that all title issues were resolved. I have never seen a buyer or seller hug a real estate attorney since then. I think that says it all.

I initially reached out to her for a consult and she took time out of her busy schedule to offer a free consult. I have reached out to several other lawyers before and they would not consider talking to me unless I pay up front. I trusted her to take care of my situation. She helped take the stress off my shoulders. She is very professional and sympathetic to my situation. She made sure to get the best resolution/outcome for me. She helped me learn a lot from the protective order and all the legal processes that followed. She is very transparent, honest, and does not sugar coat anything. She is there for you will work hard to do what YOU want.

If you want the best possible outcome, save your time and Hire Attorney Karin Porter. I learned…read moreabout Karin after meeting her, that her lack of time during our initial call was due to her intense schedule. After we hired her...we quickly learned we made the right choice. She explained all the options more than once and she is very honest. I have worked inside the legal field for 29 years in many capacities and have close attorney friends of which some are considered the best at what they do. I had an opportunity to see Karin, methodically build her case under the radar and by the time all others realized where she took us, it was too late...case dismissed. I sate there with my mouth open in awe. I strongly recommend Karin if you want the best chance of winning & the best possible outcome.

I think he takes too many cases personally. All lawyers aren't great at communicating, except when they are court officers, and that bar is in view. To his credit Matt is fully qualified. He's a decent human being. Having been around numerous lawyers, he might work well for you in a civil matter. All lawyers I've dealt with are space cadets, as they are very bright but not necessarily "all there." Matt is fair, principled, but I've seen better including the two I have on retainer. Do they still drive me batty? Yes. If you're going through the "Big D", I think Matt would be a good choice.
