My family and I engaged McGuire Wood & Bissette to handle a complex intestate probate process…read moreinvolving multiple jurisdictions and significant assets. We worked specifically with Lisa Rothman and her team. Our initial meeting was productive and encouraging. Through her expertise and a very hard-working paralegal (Justine), we moved the estate forward at rapid speed. Her fees were reasonable; the court filings were handled expeditiously. Her access to other needed resources (CPA's, real estate guidance, ancillary probate, etc.) was invaluable. At no time did I feel that the process was not moving forward. As the court appointed Administrator, I was able to navigate the process with ease and confidence. I am so appreciative of everything this firm has done to support my family during a difficult time. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of quality, professional Legal counsel. Leslie P.

Scheduled a meeting a month in advance. Drove (roundtrip) 90 min to see this firm. Met Carolyn…read moreSnipes. Had 90 minute consultation. At end of meeting Carolyn promised to get me a proposal. Two weeks later nothing. Nadda. I pinged her. Nothing. Nadda. Two days later I pinged her again. She responded, asking if I was still interested in moving ahead. (Pretty irritating, after her promising 18 days earlier to send a proposal but so it goes). She wrote: "I have preliminary notes for a proposal and am happy to finalize it if you are proceeding." I responded that day, saying that I was moving ahead with the transactions we discussed one way or another, and that "Yes, I would love to get a proposal." Two weeks later, still no proposal. 4 days later, I pinged her again, asking if she was "sick or something...anything." It had now been well over a month since she had promised a proposal. Finally, she responds with, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that my current workload will not allow me to work with you in the timeframe you need for a successful transaction." What a complete waste of time. This delayed me moving ahead on several fronts by six weeks. What a completely inconsiderate way to treat a prospective client...to treat anyone. If she didn't want me as a client tell me that six weeks ago. If she didn't have time to take on a client don't agree to meet me for a consultation. Ugh.

In fact, Eric readily understood the broader context of the issue, provided thorough council regarding out legal needs, weighed various options, provided a recommendation for initial steps, and outlined clear fees at the outset.

This solved our legal issue and no further work was necessarily -- this saved us significant hassle and money and removed an ongoing stressor in our lives. Eric was fair, smart, and highly competent. If needed, we would certainly use his services again. I give his firm my highest recommendation.

But when we used them to facilitate the closing of our Lake Lure home, it seemed to all fall apart. Every aspect of the transaction was poor to say the least. I believe it all stems from a lack of communication on their part. I was handed off to several acolytes in the process and had to constantly reach out to each one to get a response. On the day before the closing I initiated contact once more with an assistant to learn from her that I was not needed, in person, to be present at the signing. Then the day of the signing I called again to confirm this and the responsible assistant was out to lunch from 11 to 2:30 when I finally received an return call stating that I was to be present in 10 minutes or the lawyer was not going to complete the transaction. We rushed down to his office and never got to see the settlement statement until after we arrived. The big surprise was that the prequoted price of $450 for his services had increased to $650. After complaining he reluctantly agreed to rebate $200 of his fee. I honestly feel this was too much considering the lack of attention we received. We were extremely disappointed in the service we didn't receive.
