BEWARE of Stachel & Assoc. My dealings with Stachel and his office can be described as a bit of a…read moreshady experience. At the beginning they were helpful and somewhat friendly (the sales pitch) but then became evasive, non communicative and used intimidating language. Their office worked hard and fast selling off my dad's estate and took care of some issues that came up with another character effectively. However, at the end of the sell off -- they did not respect their verbal agreements made to me, were misleading and provided inaccurate, messy accounting in an attempt to overcharge and pay themselves more than was owed. Payments from the estate were immediately made to Stachel that were not agreed to and without any consult with me. A large payment was made to his office the day after a payout on an insurance claim but they never bothered to tell me a check had been received. I found out 6 months later inadvertently. Stachel became uncommunicative when I pursued him for payment on my portion. I had to hire another lawyer to go after him to pay me my portion of the claim. It took over one year to finally receive a check and then he still shorted me. He admitted (to my lawyer) there was a discrepancy that was contrary to the agreement but then manipulated it later so he could claim he did not owe any other money. I took the situation to the AZ State Bar and reported him because I have everything documented on what he did and was attempting to get away with. They (very minimally) tried to intervene but he became passive aggressive and used undermining language to describe and discredit me. In a final attempt to negotiate the bar offered a mediation meeting to which I agreed and Stachel never responded. So, I was eventually ghosted. Shame on the Arizona State Bar for not pursuing a serious complaint against one of their members and protecting the public from deceptive lawyers who are crooks preying on people seeking assistance, support and guidance. Stachel should be reprimanded by the bar, at the very least, for his antics. I believe Stachel is an opportunist who will overcharge and find ways to pay himself more than what is agreed to and reasonably owed. And being a "lawyer" he knows how to get away with it.

I hired Mr. Castillo in June to represent me. He successfully completed sending a demand letter and…read morecreating a draft complaint at the cost of $3500. In Sept, I was expecting an updated draft complaint with edits I had sent to him. Instead of contacting me regarding my updates to the complaint; Mr. Castillo instead contacted the city I live in for documents I had already supplied his office in June. He then, using the same documents, claimed my case was weak and said he wanted to change my complaint. However, the email and letter he sent gave no indication about how he wanted to change my complaint, nor did he provide me the updated draft copy I had been waiting 10 days for. He did provide a photograph of one side (there are two) of an inspection record which he called a 'document' in later correspondence with me. Another document that he alluded to in his Sept email I didn't receive until 4 Dec; It took leaving 2 reviews and 3 more emails to his office. His reasoning for not providing the document sooner was I told him to "standby." However, he alluded to this document on 10 Sept and I told him to standby on 24 Sept. Now I'm told that document was "inadvertently not included" in his 10 Sept email to me. When I received September's Invoice, I was charged again for "reviewing" documents- including the ones he had already received from me. I first asked him about the billing and the fact that he had not provided me any additional documents than what I already had received from the city. When Mr. Castillo responded to my initial questions he did not provide the documents, nor did he elaborate on how he wanted to change my complaint. I tried again to point out to Mr. Castillo that, a photograph is not a document and the secondly I did not receive the missing document, I believe it is My directness in conversing with Mr Castillo that caused him to decide "this relationship isn't working out" and quit, in an email, on Wednesday before Thanksgiving at 330 PM. In that email he offered to "refund" me $700 for the work he did relating to the city's documents. I believe this was offered because I have a valid Arizona Bar complaint for over-billing and abandoning a client. However, in order to receive my retainer and refund I will need to make the 4-hour round trip drive to his office since he won't mail it- but his office encouraged me to mail-in rather than drive up my last deposit? Overall, the majority of my costs were incurred though correspondence with Mr. Castillo with little actual work on my case. I am dissatisfied with the lack of communication from Mr. Castillo regarding his desire to change my complaint without any clarity about how he wanted to change it until the email where he quit. I was also informed by Mr Castillo he will sue me if I do not remove my review; claiming it's defamatory. In order to protect myself and freely express my unhappiness regarding Mr. Castillo's professional performance I edited this review. I received a second correspondence from Mr. Castillo regarding my previous yelp and google reviews. Considering I have nothing positive to say about Mr. Castillos handling of my case, I am not surprised he is unhappy with my review. Now, I believe he is trying to intimidate me by threatening a lawsuit. However, my perception of my professional interactions with Mr. Castillo is not defamation. He failed to perform his duties to my expectations. I've said nothing of his personal character, only my personal disappointment with the service he provided. Since Mr. Castillo is sending private correspondence directly to me regarding these reviews, instead of addressing them publicly leads me to believe that he has used the same threats and intimidation in the past to have negative reviews removed. I received an email from an attorney's office claiming to represent Mr. Castillo with a demand letter stating that he is going to file lawsuit on 16 December if I do not remove my review- free speech is not illegal and Ive stated nothing false. Also, it's been three weeks since he QUIT ON ME- and the $10,000 I deposited for retainer has not been refunded to me.

Zero Stars -- Due Diligence Was Absent…read more King & Frisch PC threatened eviction without performing even the most basic due diligence. The firm failed to review readily available deeds, title records, tax documents, or mortgage information before asserting claims about ownership and eviction rights. Their client misrepresented who owns the home, and the firm repeated those claims without verification. An individual with no ownership interest, no title, and no legal authority cannot evict an owner of a property, yet eviction was threatened anyway. Additionally, the firm attempted to evict a lawful tenant with a valid, enforceable lease, which has been reviewed and confirmed by independent legal counsel. This should have been immediately apparent had even minimal investigation been conducted before escalating the matter. Compounding this, their client has been harassing us for months, repeatedly asserting rights he simply does not have. Despite clear documentation disproving his claims, those assertions were advanced without verification, further fueling the harassment. This lack of investigation and reliance on false premises caused significant and unnecessary emotional distress, fear, and disruption to my life. The situation became so overwhelming that I was forced to leave Arizona temporarily and travel to Dallas simply to escape the ongoing harassment and stress. This entire ordeal was avoidable. A cursory review of the facts would have prevented the escalation, threats, and harm caused. Based on my experience, this firm's approach was careless, unprofessional, and fell well below the standard expected of legal counsel. I would also hope that this firm conducts appropriate diligence regarding the litigation history and credibility of its client before advancing serious legal threats. A review of publicly available court records reflects a pattern of initiating unsupported or extraordinary legal actions, including lawsuits against federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the United States Postal Service, as well as legal action against his own attorney, accompanied by demands that counsel be jailed. These matters were pursued without legal basis and dismissed. Such a history should reasonably prompt heightened scrutiny before repeating or amplifying a client's allegations. Given the circumstances, a written apology acknowledging the lack of due diligence and the harm caused would be appropriate. As a State bar review.

In 2019 A friend recommended Nina's office and told me how wonderful and caring they were, so I really looked forward to that. I was coming out of a horrible marriage, have sole custody of my daughter, and went to them to help me to get my ex husband to pay child support. They were so amazing to me and made me feel like my case was important to them, they just made me feel so comfortable, they were so caring. One day I went into their office with my son to show them the things my ex husband was texting to myself and my children and that's when one of them asked if my ex was so and so's son and how nice a guy my ex's father is. I totally agreed with her, and said I wasn't have issues with his dad, just him. From that moment on I felt like everyone was changing on me. Nina and I went to court twice I believe and my ex was told how much to pay, and then it was like that was it, it was just over. I didn't understand. Yes it's court ordered, but how do I get him to pay? I don't remember everyone's name, but Nina's Paralegal was out of the office for some time and I believe it was out of her control, however I wasn't getting child support even after court and called Nina's office for help. I had no idea that I wasn't supposed to do that or that my case was closed (noone ever told me) and so I would email or call frequently letting them no what was going on, because I kept being told that I had to wait for the paralegal to come back and so the secretary wrote up a letter to send to my ex to tell him he's in contempt but I'm not sure it was sent. Anyway, after Nina's paralegal came back, she had me come into the office to see her, I was so excited because now I could get some help. As soon as I sit down I'm told my case was closed the last time we went to court and Let me tell you, in the very beginning, they told me we had to put down $5k but it would only be $1500. The 5k was just incase we went over at all, and I would get the remainder reimbursed when my case was closed. I got about a little over 7 hundred back after I bitched because they were only going to give me 3 hundred back. I asked where the other 3500.00 went, and they literally charged me for every phone call and email I sent them and that was $150.00 a piece. There's no where in the contract that says they do that, but what I think happened is when they realized who my ex xhusband was, they decided to jump on his side and treat me like crap. I would never recommend this place to anyone and if you do go, make sure you ask them how much they charge for when you ask for help on your case, each call and email. I seriously feel like they stole from us but gave 3 stars because they did help me get a court order for child support.
