Doreen T. Paluch

THE ATTORNEY RETURNED FULL RETAINER BACK WITHIN TWO BUSINESS DAYS OF REQUEST AND WITH A EXPLAINATION THAT MADE SENSE TO ME REGARDING WHAT I TOOK TO BE HER UNRESPONSIVENESS. DUE TO HER FAIR PRICES AND HER SUCCESSFUL AND PROMPT REPRESENTATION WITH AN EVICTION AND QUIT CLAIM DEED IN THE PAST I WOULD ... RECOMMEND HER. I BELIEVE IT IS OFTEN THAT ATTORNEYS ARE REQUESTED TO RETURN THE RETAINER WHEN THEIR SERVICES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR WHATEVER REASON AND THAT IT IS QUITE RARE FOR FOR THEM TO DO SO PARTICULARLY IN FULL. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT FOR THIS REASON AND IN THIS ASPECT I FIND THIS ATTORNEY TO BE MORE TRUSTWORTHY AND ETHICAL THAN MANY THAT I HAVE WORKED WITH OR HAVE HEARD ABOUT THROUGH MY OWN CLIENTS. IN FACT I WOULD RATE HER MORE HIGLY THAN OTHER ATTORNEYS THAT I HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF WORKING WITH THAT ON THIS PARTICULAR WEBSITE HAVE SCORED A TEN.

I am waiting for a refund of the retainer I provided for the creating a trust almost two months ago. I have not received the trust, I was unable to get a commitment on when the trust would be completed. For the last couple of weeks I have received no response to any of my inquiries. Yesterday, I ...sent an email and certified letter requesting my retainer back and notified this attorney that her services would no longer be required because I have had to hire another attorney to do the job due to her lack of responsiveness and unwillingness or inability to communicate what is going on with this matter. I made it clear that this was very important not only to me but to the others involved as well and for several reasons we needed it done on a timely basis. Based on her response to returning my $1,000.00, which I hope will be professional and mature as well as more timely than her other actions on this matter to date, I will try my best to accurately and fairly update this review. This attorney has in the past on two different occassions handled an eviction and a quit claim deed for transfer of real estate in a professional manner and for a fair price.
