William C. Groh III

Our family purchased a company and later found out that multiple critical accounting entries were either incorrect or falsified. The seller then stone walled our attempts to talk through these discovered large accounting issues and refused to talk. The firm Thomas P Howard answered my Saturday requ...est for consultation email within hours. After the initial free consultation I hired the firm and quickly had Will assigned to my case due to the contract law aspects. The seller kept trying to stonewall the initial filings, but the legal deadlines would very slowly creep up and force answers and eventually resulted in a balanced settlement. Yes, legal fees may seem daunting due to the high hourly rate, but Will always billed the hours correctly. I believe that they bill in 6 min increments. So if we had a very short update call, I would only see 0.10 hours on my bill for those 6 mins. Don't get me wrong, the fees still add up, but at least you know it is fair and at least you know that you are getting quality service. At many points in the litigation Will and I would review the path forward. He would clearly explain risk, costs, and likely results. Will would suggest the path forward he felt was best, many times that was a quicker settlement which would have meant less legal fess but he felt that it was right. They allowed me to perform much of the background research and data finding for my case, but had others that could have performed these tasks. They always had suggested path forward plans, but if I wished to push certain issues, they would progress my path forward. If your reading this review you probably at least need a consultation. Legal issues suck and I would try to work it out on your own. But if a lawyer is needed, you will want Bill Groh or someone of his caliber on your side.
