Replied last December 20, 2016Sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our services. We strive to meet all of our client's needs and encourage clients to contact us directly if they have a complaint rather than post an anonymous message so we can help them deal with the issues at hand. We sometimes find that people we have sued post negative comments posing as clients, so please let us know how we can help you by calling our office or setting an appointment to see us. We also use a client portal cloud based program so all clients can see the activity on their case. We also remind clients at the outset that we do not control the court's docketing calendar. If we did not accomplish what you hired us to do, then let us know please let us know and we will refund any unearned payment. Again, we apologize for any issue you may have had.
