I do not recommend working with this lawyer to anyone, a friend advised me and gave me the number, I called and talked and everything was fine, I paid for the services, the first time Pavel Beloglazov worked, then some girl called me and said that they lost my contract and Pavel is no longer working ...with them and wanted to know how I negotiated for my case with Pavel Beloglazov, I told her everything and she sent me a new Contract, but when I read it, I realized that this is not what I agreed with Pavel, and I told her this, asked why it is not what I agreed with them, she replied that I need to find out, she does not know anything, this was repeated many times, they sent me a new contract in the mail and asked me to sign it because my old one is not correct, but I repeated to them that this is not what I agreed with Pavel, they sent me a contract in which it is written about the work that I have already done myself without them, I wanted us to solve this problem, but they always replied that "I don't know anything, you need to ask", at that time I paid them $ 3,500 under the contract, during all this time I asked three times what stage my case was at, and all I heard was: "I don't know, you need to ask" then a letter came to my home that they were no longer working with me, I called to ask what was the matter, no one answered, I asked to give my money back, they didn't answer, no one worked with me, they only sent reminders every month that I needed to pay for the services that I paid for and then they simply terminated the contract and didn't answer!!!

Dear Саня Уманець, any feedback from our clients is important to us. However, what is described in your review does not reflect what actually happened. You are correct that you initially started working with Pavel, and later another team member took over - this is a normal process, as staff changes can occur. Due to a miscommunication with Pavel, the initial contract did not accurately reflect the actual scope of services we were providing, in fact, parts of the original scope were not relevant to your matter. For this reason, we sent you a corrected contract. It is important to note that the correct scope of services was significantly more extensive than what was originally stated. However, despite updating the contract, we honored the originally agreed price, which was substantially lower than the value of the services you were receiving. In other words, you did not incur any financial loss - on the contrary, you received more comprehensive services at the same lower cost. This adjustment did not negatively affect your case in any way; it was simply necessary to ensure that the written agreement accurately reflected the work being performed. Before sending the updated contract, our team member explained everything to you in detail over the phone. Only after that conversation was the contract sent for your review and signature, which is also consistent with the communication shown in your screenshots. At no point did our team member state that they were unaware of your case details or the scope of services - in fact, they were the one who explained it to you. The screenshots you provided reflect communication regarding your payments and account balance. They do not show any discussion where you inquired about the scope of services and were told “I don’t know.” In those messages, our team clearly confirmed your payment history and balances, and there was no disagreement on that matter. At a certain point, you stopped making payments and began submitting documents to the court independently, without consulting our firm. When a client takes legal action on their own while represented, without coordination, it can create serious risks for the case and prevents counsel from effectively managing the matter. In those circumstances, withdrawal is sometimes necessary to protect both the client’s interests and the integrity of the representation. We remain committed to professionalism, fairness, and transparency in every case we handle. Our priority has always been to provide clients with accurate guidance, correct problems when we identify them, and act responsibly when a matter can no longer be handled effectively under the circumstances.
