Just no

While they tout themselves as the expert in spa and aesthetic office set up, I found them to be disorganized, repetitive, and ineffective. I spent thousands of dollars and walked away left in the same spot. It seemed they cared more about billing for hours rather than actually just getting each item... completed. They were supposed to help with every aspect of my business getting off the ground but every piece of work was delegated to someone different and none of them completed any of the basic items we agreed on (lease agreement, business assistance, and development). I had to start over after spending significant money with them and wasting several months of time. I do not recommend at all.

Wonderful practice with integrity

recently had the pleasure of working with Sara Shikhman on my case, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cared about my situation and was willing to fight for the right outcome. Sara and her team were not only knowledgeable and profession...al but also took the time to explain every step of the process, making me feel supported and informed.

Not the best experience

I hired her for help with getting my new spa up and running. Her and her team blew through my retainer and charged me for numerous hours but failed to give me quality work. It was inefficient and when I questioned it, there was no apology or acknowledgement. We went in circles over certain topics. I ...think they care more about billable hours than efficiency and doing the job right. Don’t know where all the five stars are coming from,

Amazing Service, Great experience working with Sara

The experience selling my medical spa with Sara and her team was EXCEPTIONAL. Her knowledge of the industry, responsiveness, and quality of work was more than I expected. If you are looking to sell, grow or just need sound advice for you medical practice, I highly recommend Sara and her team at ...Lengea Law.
