This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mrs.

I never felt he had our best interests in mind. He was always clueless on our case which caused misguided responses on his part and ours - our bankruptcy has been drawn out for months because he doesn't listen or review anything. He will send you an email a mile long but hates to answer the phone and... he never reaches out first, you always have to pester him to get an answer and even then he steers you in the wrong direction. He makes it seem like bankruptcy will be an easy process, even after reviewing our information and completing the forms, he made it seem like it would be cut and dry, it definitely hasn't been and we don't even know if we will get a discharge now. Never once did he prepare us for what we are going through now, so frustrated. He may have been a good lawyer but he must have lost his touch. Impersonal, Unreliable, Incompetent.

Nice Guy, That Knows His Stuff

Mr. Darish was very professional. When I first contacted him, he was quick to respond and we had an appointment schedule that week. Issue was, when I moved out of state we tried to sell our house, the house did not sell so the bank foreclosed. We started to get collection calls after twelve years. T...herefore, I contacted Mr. Darish. During the consultation, he explained the process of a foreclosure and answered any questions I had. After the consultation, Mr. Darish did some research and contacted me. I was extremely happy with the results. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer, look no further. Thanks, Mr. Darish

Great lawyer, even better person!

Mr. Darish is very professional, yet still maintains a tender, human side. He even laughed at some of my dumb jokes. Overall, he made me feel very comfortable and supported. I was worried about filing bankruptcy in that I thought I would be judged, but this was never the case. I picked him out of... the yellow pages, because he just "looked" like a good man. I stayed with him as an attorney, because he IS a good man. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is trying to find someone to represent their case that is fair, compassionate and who will work with you in a timely manner. Thanks so much Allan!

really good guy- knows his stuff, cares for his clients, more than I can say about most lawyers

Cheerful, ok a little bit of a control freak about his work but you want that in a lawyer, he cares about his clients, and gets the job done timely. If you deal with lawyers, you know that sometimes you just have to fire them and move on to someone who will do the job. THis guy is the guy you can m...ove to do get the job done.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I whole-heartedly endorse Mr. Darish. He is the best! I have known him for 30 years and anyone who has him for their attorney is very lucky. I recently got a call from a man in Mr. Darish's area who was in a bad legal position. He calld me on a Thursday night and was beside himself because a home that he owned was going to be demolished the following Monday. I referred the case to Mr. Darish. Unbelieveably he went to court and prevented the demolition while he found a buyer for the property. If Mr. Darish had not done that the man would have lost the house and then been liable for the cost of demolition. In the end Mr. Darish saved the house, arranged for its sale, and ultimately obtained a great sale price for his Client. Few attorneys could or would have undertaken such a "lost cause" but Mr. Darish never hesitated and turned it into a "winning cause." And if all of that is not enough, he is kind, considerate, and compassionate. He is the total package."
