Posted by Matt | February 28, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A less-than-stellar experience

My family hired Attorney Low for a consultation to discuss estate planning options for our elderly father. It was not a good experience. We paid $450 for a 90-minute consultation. Attorney Low was 25 minutes late for the appointment, and ended the session after 65 minutes. There was a specific, c...rucial legal point that she said she would look into as a follow-up to the session. After two weeks of silence, I emailed asking whether she had looked into the issue yet, and noted that this was time-sensitive for our family. I got no response. After another two weeks, I emailed again, asking if she had looked into it. Again, I noted that this was an extremely time-sensitive issue for our elderly father. Again, I got no response. It appeared during the booking process and in the actual consultation that the office --which is a small practice-- was extremely understaffed, and undergoing some turnover. That happens. But the bigger issue is that Attorney Low was disrespectful -- disrespectful of our time by starting late, disrespectful of our finances by ending the consultation two-thirds into the time for which we paid hundreds of dollars, and disrespectful of our needs by failing to follow through at all -- and ignoring multiple attempts to follow up. It was unprofessional.

Estate Planning

We had no prior knowledge of Julie so we took a chance and retained her to look after our estate planning - based purely on her impressive web site. We are very happy with the attention and service we received. She was patient with us and explained each phase of the process. She even went above and b...eyond to settle some problems we were having with our banks. Thank you Julie.

We needed a Lawyer now.

Ms. Low was recommended by our Financial Advisor. We needed to get affairs in order, my Husband was diagnoised with Parkinson. Ms. Low was very professional. Easy to contact. Returned phone calls in a timely fashion. She came to our home and explained all the legal moves to our Children. They were ...very pleased that she had taken the time to care so much for our family. Before we knew it, our cares and legal concerns had been handled quickly. She is a smart,and a lovely lady. I felt that I had known her for years,she makes you feel very comfortable in her office, she is a delight and knows her business. We are glad to have her as our Attorney.
