Marshal Alan Oldman

I would never recommend Marshal Oldman or his firm to anyone seeking a lawyer for trust litigation. My case was mishandled from start to finish. Most of the work was passed off to his associate, whose written discovery responses on my behalf were poorly written and contained serious errors. Those ...mistakes, combined with poor communication and expensive billing, left me with more stress and costs instead of peace of mind. I ultimately had to hire new counsel just to repair the damage and get my case back on track.

Stay far away from this guy, he is way over priced, breaks the rules of Professional Conduct. On many occasions he charged me $90.00 to answer some questions by e-mail with one liner answers saying basically " I m working on it" completely avoiding my questions. He is very arrogant, and even had th...e audacity, after I had informed him of something I had done, to say "Nope never happened". Unbelievable! I am sick about the amount of money he has been able to get from me to my detriment. If I could change things he would not have gotten 1 dime of my money.

Marshal is a nice guy but a terrible attorney. While representing me in a trust dispute he neglected to include stipulations for both the estate increasing or decreasing in value. As a result I was protected only for an estate that remained the same or increased in value. Unfortunately it decrease...d. My adversary was protected in either scenerio by a more experienced attorney. In addition, Marshal recommended using a conservator, without explaining the "true cost." I would have been better off accepting my adversary's initial offer and never hiring Marshal! This was a VERY expensive lesson. Don't make my mistake!!
