Foul
Made the sad mistake of hiring Rintoul and RIntoul to represent me. Got a lovely speech about how when their clients run out of funds, they continue to be committed,, blah blah blah, As the high fees piled on, I ran out of money, their representation was unsuccessful , and they hauled me into cour...
I am disappointed that any client is unhappy with representation received from a firm where I worked. Rintoul & Rintoul, the firm the client is reviewing, closed in 2001, so the representation this client is complaining about occurred twenty years or more ago. Because the review is anonymous and deals with events that happened so long ago, I don’t know anything about what the client is complaining about or whether the problem involved me or my partner. Also, neither my former partner nor I can recall ever suing a client for fees, so the person leaving the review may not have the right attorney or accurately remembered the facts. In any event, I hope the reviews from the past five years posted on this site demonstrate show my commitment to effective and responsive representation of my clients.

Very negative experience
I never write reviews, but I believe it is my obligation to do so in this case. I hired Mr. Rintoul to file an appeal concerning a medical claim denial by an insurance company for my father. At that time, we had almost 4 months to file the appeal. Mr. Rintoul asked for a deposit of 4500 USD, which...
Whenever a client has a concern with my representation or my fee, I urge the client to speak with me by phone or in person, at the client’s choice and without charge. Once the client shares any concerns, I can respond to the concerns and discuss different options. We can then reach a mutual resolution once both sides have fully discussed their positions. The client says in his review that I offered to me meet with him, but that he didn’t see any reason for it. As you can see from my other reviews, communication with clients is the cornerstone of my practice. I am confident that we had sat down together, he and I would have been able to reach a resolution that both of us would have been satisfied with, and would have addressed his concerns. I am sorry he declined to take advantage of this opportunity.
