WONDERFUL ATTORNEY WHO CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS

I had the pleasure of working for Ms. Birmingham about 12 years ago, so when a family member had a complex probate situation they needed help with, I had them contact her. This case was very difficult, and we were not sure if we would come out with even a little "win" but Ms. Birmingham fought hard ...for my sister-in-law and actually won the case for them, they are absolutely thrilled with everything Ms. Birmingham was able to do for them.

Physical angel practicing law, light rules!

My business partner & I had a small claims quagmire with Allstate Ins. that Reba step into when there was no responsibilities for her to do so. She took actions that untangled the bureaucratic difficulties often associated with small claims payments. This small claims payment meant having the abili...ty to receive life saving medical procedures. It was urgent. Reba simply got on it, my partner and I are grateful for her heartfelt generosity in going to bat for us without requiring any compensation, she simply gave and got it done. We are small potatoes who received the services from a Goliath. While it is true that knowledge and skills are important, what is priceless and invaluable is who someone is. Who Reba is lifts the legal profession into the height of service!

Caring and efficient professional, who works hard to meet her clients needs!

If you want someone who will listen to you, and truly do their best to be an advocate, go see her. She is friendly, open and works with clients from all different backgrounds without judgement. Attorney's who are affordable, accessable and hardworking are not easy to find, and she is one of the best!...

Unprofessional

I hired Ms. Birmingham to help me with legal matters after my husband died. I paid her a retainer and gave her the documents regarding the property I own and how I wanted to make sure I could protect my children who are still at home. After that initial visit, I didn't hear back from her for weeks. I...'ve never done any of this before so I thought not hearing from her was normal. Finally, I called twice and the secretary assured me she'd have her call me. I never got a call back. Several days later, Ms. Birmingham sent me an email asking me for the very documents I had already given her. I went over the details again and thought everything was fine and there would be no more delays. Another two weeks went by. I emailed and made one phone call. I was told she was out of town. This type of response went on for several more weeks until I gave up and went to my bank and asked them what I needed to do to form a trust. I do not recommended this lawyer.
