Red Flag! Sketchy practices! Want money before providing retainer agreement for review.

I conquer with other bad reviews. I Asked to disclose charges and fees for contested eviction 4 times, and asked to review retainer agreement prior to hiring. Attorney kept refusing to provide full disclosure of fees and charges, have not sent agreement to review and stated: “Retain our office 1s...t, pay the fees and then we will send you retainer packet to review, and if you don’t then have a good day. “ Lol. Sketchy practices at best. RED FLAGS all over. What are they hiding? I don’t know, but surely don’t want to find out, and surely don’t want to get screwed by sketchy law firm, who want payment prior to providing full disclosure of fees she charges.

Disappointed

I was very disappointed. Finally got ahold of him since January when I hired him for eviction of non paying tenants. Never told me how my case is going until today at the end of March. Very rude

AMAZING STAFF

Lauren and Kent two people who belong in customer service! The team is great. Caitlin the receptionist is so kind and helpful, Ms. Mango was on top off everything when it came to my eviction and Mr. Wickersham went above and beyond with getting my tenant out in a timely manner. Thank you firm!!!!!...

Scammed

I hired this office to evict a family member. I specifically told them I was in the middle of a divorce and that my soon to be ex was not in the house but is on the deed. I asked if that would be a problem. They told me no. They said it would take 6 weeks. At 6 weeks, I get a call from one of the law...yers claiming I did not tell them about the divorce or that soon to be ex is on the deed. That they cannot do anything about the eviction because of it. Then said they talked to the main attorney and that he said he’s willing to get involved in my divorce for a fee of $3500. They got $800 from me for doing nothing and then wanted to try and get me for another $3500? Yeah, no. I would not use them or recommend them. And by the way, they have evidence that I told them everything in the consultation as they told me it was being recorded.

Not Honorable/Lack of Professional Ethics

Hired 03/20/2023. Returned signed agreement, paid fee, and requested Documents to Janice Price on 03/20/2023; called 03/21/23 to verify receipt of documents: NO RESPONSE. Followed up 03/22/2023 with email: NO RESPONSE. Called on 03/22/2023 in the afternoon and reached a receptionist who advised 6 ...- 12 weeks for eviction and no one will call unless need something; never answered my initial inquiry actually only a simple inquiry and hung up the phone. I was discouraged by handling and wrote a letter canceling the agreement and requesting a refund and was sent the following two emails. """" The issue with communication has not been us. Your expectations are not reasonable. For $500 we kick your tenant out, we don’t double-confirm every email we send or receive to you, that’s not something we do. We don’t do a bunch of explaining or hand-holding, which we told you at the outset. We we’re upfront about that it takes 4-6 weeks. Nobody here told you 12 weeks. As stated in the fee agreement, the attorney’s fee is non-refundable. If you wish to go another direction, we can give you a refund of unexpended court costs only. Or you can be patient for the 4-6 weeks we told you, and we’ll have your tenant out in the time we gave you. Let me know what your preference is. and I haven’t said anything untrue, you’re just having a mini-meltdown because we won’t double-confirm every communication you have back and forth with us, which is because: obviously. That’s silly. If you don’t get a bounce-back then we got it. This level of angst is unnecessary, we do 500-1000 of these a year, and we’ve got this. We don’t need you stressing over it. All we need is pay us, send us the documents we requested, and we’ll get your tenant out in the time and cost we agreed to. If we need anything we’ll call you. We have lots of satisfied clients. That’s all there is to it. It’s not complicated, and there is no need for you to worry about it, let alone to this extent. Just be patient and all will be well. Sent from my iPhone""""""""

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Feb 22

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris strongly advocated for his client while maintaining a high level of professionalism. This is one of the toughest balances an attorney can face, and Chris was admirable in both regards. Chris ultimately prevailed for his client in the case, but handled all steps including the end with grace and courtesy. While we are in different parts of the state, it would be my privilege to have further cases with Chris on same or opposing side."

"Chris is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers I have ever met. He fully understands and comprehends the law and the strategy that goes along with litigation. His diligence and commitment to justice for his clients is second-to-none, and his legal work product is superior."

Family lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Working opposite Mr. Wickersham is a pleasant experience because he's easy to get along with and does his best to keep an accommodating attitude toward scheduling. That being said, he's firm in his legal position and won't back down when he believes the law supports his client's position. I don't believe he's foolish with his client's money either, as so many attorneys can be."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the opportunity to work with Chris several times and he is an intellectual powerhouse coupled with boundless energy and tenacity. I have trusted and will continue to trust Chris with high profile and complex matters. His ability to get to the core issues, to grasp the law and pull it all together in a meaningful resolution is second to none. My advice to people considering him as a lawyer? Get on his client list before he becomes one of the country's legal elite!!! No joke."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Christopher has extrememly effective trial skills, and is one of the best research and writing attorneys I have encountered. In just two short years in practice, he has already created new jurisprudential precedence in the area of HOA liens, and I continue to marvel at his ability to get to the heart of a legal matter as efficiently and effectively as he does."
