Great Service for an excellent price

Zollie and his staff were very responsive to my needs. Ultimately, I got a great deal AND the results I'd hoped for. Kudos to Zollie and his staff, especially his paralegal Cari!

Posted by anonymous | July 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Family

Waste of time and money.

Do not hire this attorney unless you have time and money to waste. I hired Mr. Steakley on a family matter, and 7 months later, he finally started on my case after I said I wanted a copy of everything that had been done on my case. Because of his slow response time, he has cost me several thousand do...llars that can't be retroactively paid to me.
