Terrible Experience
I never even got to speak to Chris Smith. His assistant, Jane, was very rude. I have received better customer service at McDonald’s.
This is an improper review because, as this person indicates, she never even spoke to the attorney, and only the receptionist. We never accepted this person as a client and never performed any services for her. She never paid a retainer. She is hardly in a position to be able to intelligently evaluate our services when she never received any. Perhaps she would be better served by contacting Legal Aid to determine if they can offer her some low cost options. Nonetheless, we wish her well with her project.
