DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! kristin le clair zurowski does not know English. Our company…read moreasked her to write us a lease contract for our apartment building, she was protecting the tenant more than our company/the owner. She kept switching lessee and lessor. When we gave it to another lawyer to review he said much was put in which was not necessary. Any time I left a message on her voicemail or sent her an email she charged us a minimum of $68.75, this was even if it was a statement i wanted to make sure she puts in the contract. SHE IS NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH, nor is she a nice woman. STAY FAR FROM HER!!! We had to pay real lawyer to write us the same contract, one who was going to protect us and our asset and also knew the difference between a lessee and lessor.

Scott from B&F has been our small business attorney for a couple years. We utilize his services to…read morereview contracts and our company documents, and to help us collect on delinquent invoices. We've been able to collect almost $100k in delinquent payments with a few letters and one filing. He and Jane have been extremely responsive and gets our requests turned around very quickly. My only "complaint" is the cost of services, but he is no higher than any other ethical attorney and less expensive than many. It's just the cost of doing business. I certainly recommend Scott and Jane from B&F.

Selected law firm at random to handle brother's estate - which was a HUGE mistake. While we did…read moreinterview law firm associate, process was significantly more expensive than our "all inclusive" quote and experienced multiple clerical and filing issues with simple details like addresses and names (received emails addressed to our deceased brother!) among others. Initial cost was $5000 - which had to be paid out of pocket, up front, and probably was a red flag we ignored. Got hit with another $2000 court fee that I don't remember hearing about, for a total cost of $7000 to file the 6-8 documents that the court required. At nearly $1000 per page of information - which we had to already provide, seems a steep cost for their efforts. Not only was this was a lengthy (over 18 month) and expensive endeavor dealing with the additional legal issues was very draining.

There is no way we could have found better legal advice here in Annapolis. I most strongly recommend him to you.
