Uneducated

Marc is money hungry, no good had no clue how to handle tenants, he actually was afraid of simple tenants. Just wanted more money, dragged his feet and slower than molasses to get anything even started. His hired help didn't know how to submit documents, had to always ask marc first as they were not... trained either.

Expensive Lawyer, painful refund process

I hired this attorney to handle a eviction that I had already started, the tenant filled for bankruptcy so I pay twice Bankruptcy+eviction for $1850 each (no flat rate), after a week the tenant left the property, after that lawyer filled eviction termination and that was it, it took me +4 months of p...ainful back and forth asking for refund to have my money back, refund came for 2K only (I was told delay was for covid), I won't hire this lawyer again.

Not Happy

I spoke with Mr. John Porterfield of Girling firm. He described services the firm could provide. He said he would send a contract for me to review and sign. They provide services and charge for them only after the contract is signed, and by the way, what credit card would I be using. He said don'...t worry, they would not charge it until I signed the contract. The mistake I made was giving him my credit card information. After reviewing the contract that evening, I decided not to use the firm. I told Mr. Porterfield that the next morning. I was surprised to find my card charged $1,750. I called him to discuss, but he will not return my calls.

Hired w $1250 over 6 mo ago. Won't return phone calls/email. Called BBB

Hired for a simple case of tenant eviction in October 2018. Did little to nothing to assist with eviction. Called and emailed multiple times to get refund of retainer but will not respond. Secretary says he is "aware of the situation" and has "given him urgent messages". Better Business Bureau has go...tten no response from him. So disappointed that I hired him and am having such difficulty now. I would not recommend this company.

Extremely Dedicated & Committed

I bought a foreclosed property from a county auction. As soon as I found out the people that are living there will do anything to hold down to this property, I made a smart decision of calling Girling Law Firm. Mr. Girling was very patient and worked really hard to get me my property back from the fr...ee loaders. I really appreciate Mr. Girling's efforts and his knowledge.
