Stiffed

This firm asked our attorney to cover a case in Lewiston NY, which we did, and they stiffed us on our fees.

NOT LEGIT! I have gone to this court and always conduct my business properly. Possibly a competitor or disgruntled person but definitely not a legit review... Update: The firm who wrote this unjustified review is the Law Office of Patrick McLaughlin, located at 55 Koenig Rd., Suite 101; Ronawanda, NY 14150. They were paid for a case for my office which they assisted but ZERO CHANCE I will ever use recommend this firm again. They went out of their way to hurt my business and have cost them thousands of dollars going forward because the senior lawyer is either a drunk and writes things impulsively or just an asshole which what I will state Patrick McLaughlin clearly is. This firm was compensated for its services and will never have the privilege of representing a client from my firm again!!!

5 stars all the way

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service I received from Attorney James Medows! After battling my case for over a year, I received the amazing news yesterday that it was dismissed. His expertise, dedication, and relentless support throughout the process were beyond impressive. Attorney Medows... made sure I was informed and confident every step of the way. I couldn't be more grateful for his hard work and commitment. If you’re looking for a top-tier attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than James Medows! 5 stars all the way!

Extremely Disappointed with Legal Representation

I wish there were an option to give 0 stars, as even 1 star is far too generous. I had an extremely negative experience with James Medows and “his Law Firm”. They delayed progress on my case for two years, during which time I often had to handle tasks that should have been their responsibility. Th...ey failed to respond to the court's requests, ignored opportunities to negotiate a deal, and did not appear in court on my behalf. Additionally, getting in contact with James Medows and “His firm” was nearly impossible, making the situation even more frustrating. James Medows is incompetent. This lack of reliability and communication forced me to request a refund. I STRONGLY ADVISE against using this firm for any legal matters. I ultimately decided to fire James Medows and handle the case myself, which led to everything being dismissed. The situation almost resulted in my license being suspended. If I hadn't received notices from the court and acted quickly to resolve the matter, I would have been driving with a suspended license. I have evidence to substantiate my claims. "It’s all or nothing”… and unfortunately, in this case, it was nothing but a disgrace." You may boast about your '1000+ reviews,' but if potential clients saw how you handled my case, I assure you, no one would consider hiring you as their lawyer.

This troll wrote a one star on Yelp, Google, Findlaw and Justia as well. Please look at my thousand plus positive reviews and don’t be dissuaded by an angry client. Just to defend myself, this person was partially correct as my office contacted this court multiple times, however, the court never received our notices. I can’t control civil servants/government entities from doing their job, but my office was on top of this from beginning to end. I gladly refunded this client and here I am defending myself because this nonsense.

James is amazing

James and his team were amazing. Honest, experts at their craft, and methodical in their follow up. They tracked my case as it took 3 years to make its way through the legal system and then got the case dismissed. Could not have been easier.
