Very disappointed

In August 2022, I retained Andrew Gorman for an estate matter. Shortly after, he became disinterested and unresponsive. It became increasingly difficult to schedule meetings with him; and meetings that were scheduled, were often missed or postponed. During the meetings that were actually held, I foun...d myself routinely having to cover ground with him that was previously discussed, causing unnecessary delays and expense to me. Andrew also routinely missed deadlines that he set for himself to complete on my behalf. By December, Andrew was unresponsive for four weeks after missing another deadline, at which point I decided to terminate his representation of me. In doing so, I asked for a final accounting of charges against my retainer. In seeking a final accounting Andrew provided me with two different billing amounts against a substantial retainer that I had posted. This dispute over billing required intervention by the Arizona Bar Association and took approximately 8 months to resolve. I felt that Andrew’s representation of me was extremely inefficient due to the fact that I found myself repeatedly having to reschedule meetings that he missed; remind him of the basic details of my case; and enduring needless delays stemming from a lack of follow through on his part to do what he said he would do. My overall experience with Andrew was poor at best.

Did not get what I paid for

Ignored calls emails did not complete the probate. Cost me thousands of dollars do not use this firm.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on our firm. We are very sorry to hear that you feel you did not have a good experience. Unfortunately, firms are often at the mercy of the Courts timelines which can make the probate process feel longer than clients anticipate. If you would like to discuss this further, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Professional & Caring

Andrew and his staff are always professional and friendly. Andrew handled my family trust, and even though we only have a small estate, we were always treated with full respect. Thank you Andrew and the staff of Gorman & Jones!

Gorman & Jones saved my inheritance

If not for Andrew Gorman and the entire law firm, my inheritance would have been lost due to the greed of another. I am forever grateful for their representation, attentiveness, kindness and competency.
