Rip off

I obtained hufflegal through legalmatch. Greta called everyday, everyday, everyday telling me how great Michel Huff is. How he is an ex-police officer and knows all the judges. Once I agreed to a consultation, a different lawyer calls and says I have a case. Then Sherry starts e-mailing you daily to ...get your retainer. They say my attorney will call you in 2-3 days. Once you pay your retainer, silence. No more calls from them. Then when you start complaining, they start billing you. Then they tell you you don’t have a case and refund you $500. This is the way they conduct business and they get away with it.

Dear Ken, We are sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience with our firm. However, your review does not accurately reflect the circumstances of your case or the work we performed on your behalf. You retained our firm, and we immediately began working on your case once your payment cleared, as is standard practice to ensure all financial transactions are secure. We met with you multiple times to thoroughly review and analyze your documents and evaluate your claims. After careful consideration, we determined that the documents you provided did not support the facts as you initially represented them. We take our responsibility to provide honest and ethical legal advice and representation seriously, and when it became clear that we could not move forward with your case, we withdrew to ensure that you were not billed unnecessarily for services we could not deliver. Sincerely, Attorney Huff

Almost no communication with me.

In December of 2022 I retained Michel Huff to handle a case in which a Costco tire center released my car to an unknown person under suspicious circumstances. An out-of-court settlement with Costco was the goal. Other than the initial phone call, after paying him a $5000 retainer, I never again he...ard back directly from him. I had several phone conversations with his PI, and some messages on his Clio website. Between February 2023 and April 2023 I phoned Huff's office three times to ask for a status report. Each time I was told my message would be passed along. Each time I did not receive any communication from Mr. Huff or his office, and was told that he was very busy. This pattern led me to believe that my case was being ignored. So, I phoned his office and told them so, and asked for a refund of my retainer. They did issue me a check, and an itemized statement listing services rendered and their cost of which were deducted from my refund. The problem is that I was never informed that these services had been performed. Had I known that they were actually doing something, I may not have released Huff. Based on my experience with this attorney I would not recommend him.

Professional and organized!

Huff helped me 3 hours away from where he resides and the entire process was so smooth even without working this case in person. He has a large team and they’re all working towards the same goal, to get you the client, heard and understood. Might I add that while I spoke to a few different individual...s throughout this case, the communication remained intact and organized. Someone was always available to listen to me and emails were always answered. When it came time to be presented in court, Huff brought his A game and again, demonstrated professional communication with the judge, especially in comparison to other attorneys who were having their cases heard. Everything went according to plan with Huff and our case was won! Would definitely use Huff and his team again if needed in the future and I will recommend him to everyone seeking an attorney!

4 year legal battle settled in less than an hour

I was fighting a case for 4 years. Without legal representation, I was belittled and battered by the plaintiff and the judge over and over. Once I hired Attorney Huff, he went to court and walked in the courtroom and it was over. Cases closed! I would recommend this Attorney highly. Having leg...al representation makes the world of difference. Attorney Huff is the best!

Attorney Huff is a lifesaver!!

We hired Attorney Huff when my child had violated probation with underlying felonies. My child was facing a serious prison term. It was a very frightening time. Attorney Huff convinced the judge to reinstate the probation and give my child a chance at building a healthy and productive life. H...e even went above and beyond to connect us with the right people to get my child into a residential program for rehabilitation. Not only did he fight for us and prevail in court, he gave us courage and peace of mind. He kept us from feeling desperately lost in unfamiliar territory. While this was such a scary and trying time we are so grateful to have had Attorney Huff as our champion and advocate. I highly recommend his services to anyone considering on hiring him.
