Unprofessional and Terrible Work Ethic

I found this practice to be very unprofessional. Deadlines were rarely met without an extension. I would recommend finding an attorney who is professional in his or her practice management, who conducts himself or herself with dignity, and who is respectful to clients and their employees. These are j...ust a few failures of this practice. I would not recommend this firm at all.
