I contacted them on May 5, 2021 by phone and was told that I could not speak to a lawyer without coming in for a $200 consultation first. I asked the secretary "How am I supposed to determine if I wish to utilize your firm's services if I can't speak to someone about it?" She told me that "that I would need to come in for legal advice." I responded by asking again about my inability to make a decision without speaking to someone first and determining whether their firm is right for me? But I had answered my own question. They are clearly off to a bad start. No need for lawyer jokes, but does this not ring of everything you hear about lawyers? A $200 consultation for me to decide if I want to do business with them. Dang...the world has gone silly. These guys should starve themselves out of business if our market economy works as it should. Of course, they will not get my business and should not get your business either. Shameful.

I am a huge believer in Yelp because it gives the client a voice to express what they think about a…read morebusiness. If used appropriately, it's good for the business too because sometimes it's the only way to let them know when they aren't doing ok. I wrote a review about 10 days ago about this business, and I put a lot of thought into it, and I told the truth. I left a 1 star originally. Since that review, the business contacted me and apologized. Honestly, they didn't like my review. They said they would address customer service. I won't agree to not review the business, as our experience was not the best, but after the apology, and that I was told it was harmful to the lawyer's business and his family, I thought I could temper it a little; however, I was honest in everything I said, then and now. The Paralegal that we had to contact to reach our lawyer was not nice to us, not once. She snapped at us every time we spoke to her, and I was intimidated. I don't want to call there, or go in there again. Our lawyer was nice enough, but I do feel he dropped the ball. My son is owed a substantial amount of money by an individual who does not want to pay it, despite that there is a court judgment. It's an amount of money that makes us lose sleep at night. I underestimated his resolve not to pay, and I thought a letter from a lawyer's office would be enough that he would pay the debt. I was wrong about that. This law firm felt we needed to get him to court to answer questions about his income and property. They said me paying for a process server would ensure the party had to show up, and bring documents. Despite that I asked the Paralegal if this person was served, because I thought he would call the lawyer and he did not, he was not served. No one at the law firm knew the party was not served, until three days before the day for the Interrogatories. The party had no obligation to show up, or bring everything listed on the subpoena. We didn't know if he would show or not. He did show, but he didn't bring everything. That is the fault of the law firm. I can't sugar coat that. The lawyer did write a letter to the person, but the subpoena was not served. Our lawyer thinks I expected too much. He collected $20 of the more than $30,000 owed to my son, which is not much, but something I guess. I don't think expecting to be treated politely, or to expect a subpoena to be delivered, or for them to know it wasn't, was expecting too much. I do think this law firm could have done a better job for us as well.

I came prepared with with pictures & spreadsheets. I had done some previous online research and included any pertinent legal supporting information. In reality, the lawfirm only had to locate the specifically applicable laws *as I had not written down the exact law code). During the process between hiring & court appearance, I received not a single phone call about my case, or documentation as submitted to court or mailed to plaintiff (only drafts, for approval). I was not given any details about what the charges would be, except the paralegal & attorney hourly rate. I have not actually had to hire council before and came to this 'naïve'. I was not informed until it was all said & done, & I received my invoices for services (billed against retainer). I was unaware that I would be charged a minimum of $39.00/eml contact. This includes f/u emls, emls 'to' me & 'from' me. I told the practice that I would file the appeal myself, & subsequently explained that I would not be able to proceed with their services. I requested invoices & method to reclaim the balance of the retainer. I was informed of a certain amount for the remaining balance. I, later, received a f/u email from the practice reminding of 'appeal' deadline & reiterated the estimated rate for going back to court. This time, the estimated fee was double what was previously discussed, AND the retainer balance was decreased. I asked why & was told 'more work', & that I would get an invoice when I come to settle up. The invoice included an $80.00 deduct for the eml sent after court (the one that stated the original balance amount), & the eml'd f/u to remind of the appeal deadline, which (by the way) was incorrect. I was very displeased w/ the overall lack of care for my case...all while charging me exorbitantly too much for the amount of effort afforded. I was also denied pursuit of portions of my case for rather weak reasons. I truly felt like a criminal w/ a Public Defender who is looking to cop a plee deal with the prosecutor.

This is completely dishonest and unethical. Mata provided legal advice during the transaction regarding potential claims against Seller. At NO point was I as the buyer told in writing, verbally, or orally to find another Attorney because Mata & Hill created a Conflict of Interest. I was informed over the phone by Mata after the closing. There is no conspiracy: the fact is I am not from Virginia and blindly trusted my Realtor's (Sager Realty) referral and advice received from Mata on various phone calls. The fact is that I have text messages that can allude to my allegations and I was referred by my Realtor, your former business neighbor in Strasburg, Christine Sager. If Mata disclosed in the beginning that he was representing both parties, I would have gotten another law firm.
