I was in a very serious motorcycle accident and I called the James Alexander Law firm. The first…read moreperson I spoke with was the son, Jack Alexander. Right from the get go I could see how detail orientated he was. I have never met him at this point so I felt like an idiot explaining what happened and answering all of his questions (and for some questions I had no answer too) and I even told him that, but he put me at ease and continued to make me feel comfortable with the process. I'm not going to bore you with details of my case and how long the process was but my wife and I were so very pleased with James Alexander himself, his great son Jack and with all of the staff that we personally dealt with. All were professional, kind, calming voices when I needed it and the back and forth communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend his law firm if you are looking for a Personal Injury Attorney.

Just to relate 1 story; I contacted them after closing time on a Friday and left a VM. Within 30 minutes they had fired off the needed requests from 'the opposition'.

I just wanted to leave a post about my experience with Karp Law so far…read more I was referred to their offices from a friend because of their own positive experiences so I gave them a try. I talked to a polite professional lady over the phone and during the call she listened to my problem and made me feel like she was concerned and wanted to help me. We ended the call with her telling me id be hearing from them in a day or two. The next morning I was contacted by a nice gentleman that listened to my problem and offered suggestions. When we ended the call I asked if I owed him anything for his time, he told me he's not like that and I said thankyou. I feel like I can trust them to be fair and help me through this. Thankyou

We just encountered the worst experience with this attorney, Christopher R. Smith, Esq. on our…read morefirst home purchase. He was referred to us by our realtor and our mistake is that we never researched him before proceeding to seek his legal services. We asked him his legal fees for a new home purchase and he categorically charged us his flat fee for his services. Later on we detected that he had indicated an entirely different amount in our closing disclosures without discussing anything with us. Also, although we had clearly communicated and told him that we were not interested in homeowners title insurance, he went ahead to get it for us again without consulting us. On researching him, we found out that he sells title insurance, and is an examining counsel for the same title insurance company from which he purchased ours without consent despite saying "No, thank you!" When we drew his attention to these, he quickly got belligerent towards us. Although we had sought his legal services, he never contacted us to familiarize us with the process or give us directions on what to expect through the process. Rather, we had to do our own research on what to expect every step of the way. The issue that broke the camel's back for us: at our final walkthrough the house, a problem was detected that we requested fixed before we close on the house. This is a basic right of every home buyer. Although it is common practice for sellers to offer credit for detected problems on a house, it doesn't erase the buyer's right to request a fix instead. As our legal representative, we expected Chris to be on our side and work in our favor as all professional attorneys do. Instead, he began mounting pressure on us to close on the house despite the detected problem. This is violation of a buyer's right. If the buyer prefers the problem fixed instead of receiving credit, this right should be respected without any intimidation whatsoever. He wanted us to accept credit for this problem and close quickly (because we had exposed him on the earlier issues and he wanted to get done with us) and we preferred getting the problem fixed instead before proceeding to close. I could not believe the intimidation and threats this attorney hailed on us in attempts to frighten us and to compel us to rush to close. He is the most unprofessional, uncaring, and unethical attorney I have ever seen. He has no interest in, and certainly has no respect for the rights of his clients. We are considering launching a complaint with the bar on our experience with him. He completely mistreated us and had zilch interest in defending our basic rights as his clients.

After getting severely injured in a car accident and was unable to work I decided to find a lawyer…read moreand see if I had a personal injury case. I originally went with a different law firm but was very unhappy with their service. My husband had used MCV Law for workers comp and we found out they also work with personal injury within the firm, we decided to make an appointment and see what they have to say about my MVA. After speaking with Patricia Stegeman for over an hour we decided right then and there to transfer the case over to MCV Law and for the next 4 1/2 years I have not regretted that decision. Alicia Loomis, Patricia and the other attorneys on this case worked diligently over the last several years trying to get me what we all thought was deserved. They kept me informed every step of the way during this entire head pounding process and in the end cheered for me when everything was finalized. This law firm is one of the best low key law firms in Centeral NY and I would recommend them to any family or friends that ever end up in a predicament like mine!
