Several months ago, I was in the unfortunate position of needing to find a divorce attorney. I made…read morefour appointments with various area law firms (based on Yelp and Google reviews) and then I met with Alison at Bates Family Law. I immediately felt a sense of relief despite the incredible emotional stress I was experiencing. Throughout my divorce case, I was impressed with the efficiency I observed with Alison and every person in her office. Whenever I emailed or called with a question; I received a very quick response. Unfortunately, my case was incredibly complicated for a 15-year marriage without children. Despite the complications, Alison was able to manage my case successfully but I believe it required a professional with her depth of knowledge. Also, the final cost of my case was significantly less than I had estimated, and I am very grateful. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. I am confident the result could not have been achieved if I had signed with a different firm. I highly recommend Bates Family Law.

Victoria King made a bad divorce much worse, take longer, and cost more than it should have. Not…read moreonly that, she mistakenly included her personal and friendly chats to the opposition lawyer in an email to me. That, along with conference calls with the court made me wonder whose best interest she was looking out for. She fought me on reasonable settlements and continually urged me to give up most of my self created wealth to my cheating ex. She did not respond to calls, and I even caught her sneaking out of her office shortly after telling her assistant to tell me that she wasn't there. Unprincipled, unprofessional, and unkempt. An all around horrible person who should be disbarred. Go hire a bum off the street. You will get better advice and they will likely communicate and dress better. A damn disgrace to every other lawyer. She is why people hate lawyers.

Victoria was super professional, not only that, she was very organized and on top of her cases! Victoria made me think we had a personal relationship the way she went hard for me!!! That alone says so much( let's be realistic, especially for a public defender!!!!!) and it gave me the security I needed at such a difficult and trying time. I gave her 5 stars because she deserves every single one truthfully she's 10 out of 5!! That's how impressed I was with her performance! Best advice I can give anyone that's looking for representation, call Victoria L. King! Professional, organized, dedicated, and doesn't mess around, if you're looking for that kind of service, then look no further!!!

*** Tully Rinckey's response to my reviews is disingenuous. We already addressed this matter…read moredirectly with the firm. The only options presented were to continue paying them to correct mistakes in their work--despite their already having the necessary information and documentation--or to close the matter and receive only the unused portion of the retainer. They had the opportunity to resolve this privately and chose not to. ** Richard Brister is highly persuasive during the initial consultation. Unfortunately, his impressive phone manner is where the competence at Tully Rinckey ends. What Mr. Brister promised us during our consultation bears absolutely no resemblance to what the firm ultimately delivered. He explicitly assured us that our $4,000 retainer would cover a robust, comprehensive demand letter and active negotiations--even discussing specific enforcement provisions to hold management accountable to critical safety measures. We relied on those professional representations when we signed and paid our retainer. What we received was a weak, inaccurate and completely unusable draft. It was addressed to an individual who no longer worked for the company, contained a false timeline, failed to include our core claims, and completely ignored the evidence we had provided. It was a sloppy, careless rush job that caused our household and my 88 year old mother additional distress. The worst part? When we pointed out these glaring, objective errors, Tully Rinckey did not offer to correct them without further depleting our retainer. They never denied that we would be expected to pay additional legal fees simply to obtain an accurate and usable version of the document we had already retained them to prepare. To anyone considering this firm: Do not be fooled by Mr. Brister's polished sales pitch. Get every verbal promise in writing before you hand over a single dime. We trusted Tully Rinckey with thousands of dollars and a highly sensitive matter, and we were left with zero results, a bigger headache, and a nearly depleted retainer. Shame on Richard Brister, and shame on Tully Rinckey. Stay tuned for more TR reviews.

I highly recommend Finger Lakes Mediation for your Business Mediation Needs as well as Finger Lake Mediation for Divorce Mediation. I will be using her again.
