It's been a while since I thought about this woman until I saw quite by accident some YELP reviews…read moreof her practice while browsing. My experience was the same as those of a few negative posters. Ms. Quigley asked for a $5,000 retainer to help me recover about $25,000 from an unscrupulous contractor I hired to build a summer home in the Berkshires. The evidence was clear cut against the contractor. I had documents and testimony from his secretary. This attorney showed up once in court to make the case. The contractor never showed up. From then on I was not able to get Quigley to continue pursuing the case nor would she return my retainer either in full or in part. I got her name from a friend where I should have done my own DD on her. Use this woman at your own risk. Maybe she has seen the light on integrity. But why take the chance? One doesn't forget easily a $5,000 swindle.

This is a great office if you want a lawyer that will not do anything for you. I met with the…read moreattorney several months ago. Told them my story and provided my credit card information and thought I was all set. I followed up with them periodically to see what the status of things were and was always told they are working on it, they are checking with the court, they had to wait to hear back from the court. Here we are from July until the middle of November and they said, we were told we have to file the paperwork. I was like, that's what I told you in July. So from there I was told just wait to hear from them as they will call me to setup an appointment for me to come in and complete the paper work. I completed the paperwork before, it took me 20 minutes. It's now been 2 weeks and I am still waiting to hear from them to set an appointment for me to come in to fill out the paperwork. I am not happy with the run around, at this point I am just doing this myself and I'll wait to hear back to see how long I would have had to wait. David, you need to find a replacement for Chrissy, based on my experience, she is only hurting your business. No communication until I reach out, keeps putting off clients, gives crappy excuses, and if you want to hear my interactions with her, let me know, I have audio for you to listen to.

He flew off the handle when I used the terminology "$1800 bid" and flat out hung up on me. He then wouldn't take my call, so I called from an alternate IP phone and got ahold of him to apologize. He was very short with me, finally reiterating another attorney that might be able to help before again abruptly hanging up. I don't think I would do business with this firm if this is the way they treat the majority of their prospective clients. I'm just a home owner trying to close on a foreclosure, so I understand I'm a small client but there is no reason for politeness and civic candor to be thrown out the window. I am not your legal opposition in the court of law -- I'm a human being making an inquiry without wasting your time. The total time elapsed on the first phone call was 31 seconds and the second phone call approximately 21 seconds, yet Syd Smithers flew off the handle both times. Time to restructure the firm and get some level heads answering general inquiry phone calls.

This was potentially going to impact my means to travel for work (for me and my wife's) while further negatively affecting my family's already difficult financial situation. I needed legal help so I searched online and found Atty. Kleinbaum's contact information. I couldn't be more grateful for him representing on my behalf. The $350 retainer was well worth it! He and his team is super experienced, very knowledgeable with the process, transparent with all the information, and there was always prompt communication throughout the handling of my case. I want to personally thank Atty. Kleinbaum and his team who did a phenomenal job in helping me find resolution on the matter. From what may have turned into 6 points to my license, it was significantly reduced to a 2-point non-speeding "disobeyed traffic control device" violation and a $193 fine. To everyone who may need legal assistance/representation, don't hesitate to reach out to him! Highly Recommended!
