Disappointing

January 10, our first paid consultation July 6, our request to close our account During almost 6 months, Mr. Williams worked just over 5 hours on our account, according to his statement (which we had to request). He chose to spend most of that time on our #2 priority, and almost no time on our mos...t pressing problem. When we contacted his office during those 6 months, we were told, repeatedly, neither matter “would take much time” to resolve.

0 stars! Avoid this law firm.

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL HANDLE YOUR CASE PROPERLY. I hired this lawyer to handle my grandfather’s estate in Florida. I originally was not going to write a review, but am still finding mistakes that are costing us TWO YEARS LATER! The paralegal was inexcusable on how many mist...akes occurred and continued to be made throughout our case. Her email responses to her mistakes consist of (“obviously one of those checks was payable to”……) on DOCUMENTS sent to CPA's!!! Constant spelling mistakes throughout which now is causing a huge headache when filing taxes. During our case, we were fighting another law firm regarding the estate and another family for the estate funds. Many gross calculation errors in the sum of thousands of dollars sent over. I was told to track things and spent large amounts of time only to be then told “well I wasn’t sure and it turns out we can’t claim those.” In addition, at the end, they divided funds incorrect and people were not reimbursed for money spent out of their pockets. Luckily, our family gets along so it was no problem for us to write the checks correctly to each other. Their response was appalling to those mistakes. Even after multiple corrections throughout the two-year ordeal, they continued to make the same errors on future documents. In addition, this lawyer will NOT fight for your side! It was obvious when we had to stick to our guns and tell them to go back and do their jobs for what was owed to our case. They were not fighting to help us and were merely trying to quickly end the probate which I assume at this point was to collect their money. It got to the point that I went to another local law-firm to check on their work at the end out of frustration and concern. They could not believe what they saw and were out right laughing at their emails jaw dropped. Unfortunately, the probate was done so nothing could be changed without a massive ordeal and money. 2 years was stressful enough for this probate I can’t put my family through anymore or myself. RUN FROM THIS LAW-FIRM OR SEEK OTHER LEGAL ADVICE TO ENSURE ACCURACY BEFORE CLOSING YOUR CASE.
