Mr. Schlissel impressed me as someone competent and experienced. He took time to listen to my problems and was spot on as to what to expect. A+ on knowledge and experience, B to B- for responsiveness, though he did everything he said he would. A little slow in returning the retainer, but I would still work with him again if a problem came up.

This was one of the most frustrating and destabilizing professional experiences I have ever had…read more Communication was consistently poor. I spent weeks trying to obtain basic information that should have been routine, and I repeatedly had to follow up just to get acknowledgment that my emails were received. Requests about billing, case status, and access to my own client file often went unanswered despite multiple follow-ups and approaching deadlines. Access to my own case file became an ordeal. Despite repeated requests, I was not provided a complete copy of my file. When I went to the office in person after being told in writing to do so, I was not allowed to review my file before being asked to sign documents, was not given a copy, and was left waiting for a prolonged period. The interaction with staff felt hostile and intimidating, which was deeply uncomfortable in a professional setting. Billing raised serious red flags. The invoice I eventually received contained vague descriptions, overlapping entries, inconsistent hourly rates, and unexplained charges that did not align with my understanding of the work performed. Requests for clarification were ignored or left unresolved, leaving me unable to meaningfully assess what I was being charged for. The cumulative effect of delayed billing, lack of transparency, and prolonged silence directly interfered with my ability to transition to new counsel and prepare for time-sensitive matters. The experience eroded any confidence I had in the firm's ability to manage a matter efficiently. Nothing about this process felt client-centered. This review reflects my personal experience and documented interactions. Based on that experience, I strongly caution anyone considering this firm to keep meticulous records, insist on clear and timely communication, and closely scrutinize all billing. I would not choose this firm again.

From the very beginning, my attorney demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. He is truly amazing and always truthful and direct, which I deeply appreciated throughout the process. He took the time to fully understand my situation, explained each step clearly, and guided me on everything I needed to gather and prepare in order to achieve a successful outcome. What stood out most was how we worked together as a team during what was an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process. His guidance, responsiveness, and strategic approach made me feel supported and confident every step of the way. Thanks to his strong advocacy and attention to detail, we achieved successful outcomes in both matters. His commitment to his clients and determination to pursue the best possible results truly set him apart. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled, reliable, and compassionate family law attorney. Yay Doug! Thank you everything!!!!
