George Oliver Aljoe

I hired this lawyer to help establish Power of Attorney (POA) for my mother, who was in a mental health facility. Unfortunately, my experience with George Aljoe was disappointing. During our first meeting, Mr. Aljoe was over an hour late, which resulted in my mother missing her initial chance to sign... the POA papers. This delay had a significant impact on my mother's care, as it delayed important decisions regarding her treatment. Instead of proceeding with POA as I had intended, I felt pressured into pursuing guardianship without a thorough exploration of other options. Guardianship was presented as the only viable solution, and I wasn't given enough time or information to fully consider the consequences. The entire process felt rushed, and I was left feeling uncertain and overwhelmed. As a result of these issues, I am now involved with probate court, which has added even more stress to an already difficult situation. Thankfully, after sharing my experience, another attorney at the firm, Mr. Hickman, reached out and offered to help me move forward in a way that aligns better with my mother's needs. I truly appreciate his concern and willingness to step in, but my initial experience with Mr. Aljoe left me feeling unsupported. I hope that the firm can improve its communication and ensure that clients are fully informed and given adequate time to make the best decisions for their loved ones. The pressure to pursue guardianship without considering other options caused unnecessary stress and challenges, and I would advise future clients to seek clear guidance before proceeding.
