I was asked by the parents of a young woman who had passed away to sell their daughter's house in…read moreCrofton, MD. I was told by them that Bill Blackford, Esq. was handling the estate and that I should work through him. Over the course of getting the necessary repairs made and then showing and selling the house, Bill and I worked together closely to get the job done. At one point, I asked him to please get rid of the parked car in front of the house so it would show better (and allow someone a place to park.) Bill had it sold and moved in no time at all! He promptly paid all vendors for the repair work they did for us, was responsive to completing all required paperwork quickly, and kept everything else rolling promptly, right up to an on-time settlement. I give him a 5-star review!

I have been trying to get rid of a timeshare that I have owned for almost 15 years. I have tried…read moreseveral times over the years by contacting the company directly and tried once with a realtor, but had no luck. I contacted Bill to try to help me understand the documents and to try to figure out some way to dispose of the timeshare. He was able to explain the documents to me and we contacted the company directly while in his office. Both of us spoke to the company rep and after about 20 minutes Bill was able to convince them that due to my age (81) that I was not using it anymore and wanted to be rid of it. They agreed to let me get out of the contract and said they would send me the documentation to complete the process. I could not believe how quickly and easily he was able to accomplish this. Approximately one month later I received documents in the mail from the company which allowed me to turn over the time share to them. I filled out the papers, had them notarized and mailed them back. I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone I know.

I reached out to Frame & Frame for legal advice. They said they weren't a good fit, and I…read moreappreciated their honesty. Then they added my personal information and email to a mailing list without my consent in order to send me newsletters and promotions. I queried them, and they responded that they do this for all clients; my experience suggests they do so for anyone who contacts them via email, whether or not they become a client. To their credit, they responded to my queries, though not with a great deal of information about what they'd done with my personal information. Email headers suggest that, while their third party does provide some privacy protections, they still send emails in the clear. Frame & Frame doesn't appear to accept that this practice shares their client list with anyone who has access to the public and private servers their emails flow through. I believe that best practice, for the sake of privacy, for lawyers not to operate a newsletter or promotional email list. If they feel they must, it should be opt-in by client request, and the communication should be encrypted, meaning clients should have to either enter in a password they receive separately or use a token stored on their machine, or should have to log in to a server to see the message. I've seen lawyers engage in lax security practices that I, as an computer engineer, fine a little scary. This is one of them. This firm appears to be highly rated. If they wish to live up to this rating in the 2020s and beyond, they should hire a cyber-security expert, explain legal privacy needs to the person (this isn't an area cyber-security experts tend to understand) and have them go over Frame & Frame's policies, systems, and procedures, ensuring their systems, practices, and procedures are well-documented and NIST compliant. And they should go through another cyber-security review every 2-3 years. All law firms should do this.
