Maggie is the worst paralegal and the most unprofessional person. Every time we had a phone call or meeting she would "choke" on the food she was eating or her drink and wouldn't respond to my questions or concerns. She barely communicated and filed many things without my knowledge of what was being filed and for the original filing of my served papers, THERE WAS INCORRECT INFO that I didn't see until asking for my case file to give to my new attorney... because she NEVER kept me in the loop when filing things on MINE and MY SONS behalf. She was always interrupting me and almost every in person meeting would talk about other clients and their cases (Bobby Barina also did this multiple times I was in the office-walking around spreading clients business). Almost every single appointment I had, I would show up to the office or be waiting for the phone call and it wasn't until after my appointment time had passed did I have to question her and was told that my attorney was out sick or had to go to a hearing etc, yet never could I have communication prior to. All of the emails I asked to be forwarded to my attorney, she never did. Actually she hardly filled my attorney in on anything because when I finally saw him at the hearings, due to never getting an appointment with him, he would have no clue what I was talking about. One of my last missed phone call appointments, she hung up on me when I was upset due to taking off work and never even having my appointment with a hearing a couple days after and didn't know what to even expect and her lack of communication yet again. She was rude, lied to me MANY times, and in my opinion, should not be someone you have on your team representing your name. I can't tell you how many times I had to call up there or email (to which there was many she just didn't respond to and then essentially called me a liar because 'she responded to all of them') just to get info on my case because she severely lacks communication skills but I've found it was a way to rack up more money on my trust because she could do whatever and not have to answer for it. And not just her apparently. The whole office is like that. Melissa could never give me an answer on my concerns with appointments or anything general office related, as if she had no knowledge of how to do her job, and lied to my face many times and acted as if I was stupid. When my attorney was no longer at the firm, I had to inquire about it and about my case before they would tell me. Then when I decided to hire another attorney due to that and also because they've done nothing I've asked, they sent me a bill that took over half of my trust money out, to rescan things and a bunch of other bs made up things to take more of my money, things they've already done (they scanned my original copy stuff in months ago) and then when I emailed and told them that was ridiculous and I will not be charged for that, they had no care in the world. They actually didn't even respond until I had to email again about getting my money. And that was Bobby Barina and Brittany- charging me for bs things to take more money. I could go on and on, in depth, of every single issue I've had. This is by far the worst "attorney firm". Unless you want to keep spending money for bs and have nothing done on your case, never have appointments to actually talk to your attorney, have your case sh!t talked about amongst everyone, and then not get your money back because they're greedy people with money that's not even theirs... do not hire anyone from Barina law. Do not keep money in your trust if you're already with them. The people that work here should absolutely be ashamed. You reap what you sow and God is always watching!!

From the very first phone call, they were quick to respond and so accommodating when our moving company's schedule changed. They adjusted without hesitation and still managed to come out for a walkthrough and provide us with a quote right away. On cleaning day, the team was professional, kind, and hardworking. We were there for a few hours doing some touch-up painting, and they never once made us feel in the way--they were so friendly the entire time. They worked tirelessly, and the results honestly blew us away. I never thought our stove or stovetop would look new again, but they somehow made it spotless. Every detail of the house was cared for, and it truly felt move-in ready for the new occupants. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and thorough cleaning company, I can't recommend Ruth & Naomi Co. LLC enough. They exceeded every expectation! Well worth the money. If we were not moving away from Temple, we would use them again, and again, and again.

I would have given them an average/3 had it not been for their responses over text. Similarly, I had told them ahead of time I would be waiting to pay the electronic bill until after the day of the service. They also sent the invoice for incorrect charges twice before the correct one. So for me the end of my work day is 7pm - however, today after the service was completed they responded that the bill would be due at 5pm (and this had never been communicated before). I always check the service before paying so would not have agreed to that stipulation. This part is all business logistics things though and I'm sure something that could be easily fixed and not a deterrent for future customers.

Mr. Beatty comes in the room looking like I interupted the company picnic. It was a 1pm appointment and he strolls in about 1ish. All of this could have been handled over the phone. His office could have taken the time to tell us they weren't equipped unwilling unstead of having me drive all the way down there. I also found it odd I never got a call to confirm my appointment and when I get there I have to ring a bell. He doesn't know what a potential client went through or their mental state. He wasn't concerned. He was focused on getting us out his door like we were bothering him. He already had his mind made up before walking in the room. He lacked any sense of compassion or manners. Go to a lawyer who is going to listen and fight for you instead of fight against you.
