Even though our cases were completed long ago, we still keep in touch. His team, especially his assistant Oscar, has always been wonderful. Oscar is incredibly kind, patient, and always willing to answer any questions we have -- whether relevant or not -- free of charge. He gives great advice, is easy to talk to, and always makes time for us. I was shocked to see a negative review because that's the complete opposite of my experience. This firm has been nothing but professional, caring, and genuinely helpful. David Kauffman and his team made such a positive impact on my family's life, and we'll always be grateful for everything they've done for us. Highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate lawyer! Thank you, David. Thank you Oscar and thanks to everyone works at the firm.

I am not one to really write reviews but the LACK of knowledge on immigration based subjects from…read morethis law firm is unbelievable. Not only will their excuse be "Oh I've never had this happen before" but they are the definition of GREEDY LAWYERS. We were given incorrect information from Alan Kaufman, information that two other lawyers even said, "What idiot Lawyer would advise you this?" Then his excuse was oh I have never seen this before. Really never had an immigration officer schedule an interview to detain a person even though Kaufman assured us this process will never happen. Yet going online and speaking to other lawyers they admit that it is common knowledge. Wrong advice given by ignorant lawyers. save your money for a REAL lawyer. Kaufman will just brush it off as I didn't know this was going to happen. YOU get PAID to KNOW or at least give proper legal advise.

I can't say enough great things about Sundeen, Salinas and Pyle and its attorneys, Hunter Pyle in…read moreparticular. Hunter represented a close relative of mine through an extremely lengthy, difficult and contentious lawsuit, including about three weeks of trial. Hunter Pyle a remarkably gifted attorney with a talent for presenting his side of the case in a compelling and earnest manner, and is wholly and sincerely devoted to ensuring that his clients understand and are comfortable with his legal strategy. In court, he presents evidence and arguments in a clear and convincing way, and manages to do so without the bravado and grandstanding many of us associate with trial lawyers. Indeed, in his demeanor and approach Hunter brings to mind the understated confidence of Gregory Peck in "To Kill a Mockingbird." He's that good. In addition, in my experience Hunter and his colleagues are committed to ensuring their clients are fairly and adequately compensated, even to the extent that doing so impacts their own compensation. While many attorneys may secure their own payment first, then worry about their clients, the opposite was true in our case: Hunter actually secured a very favorable compensation agreement for us first, then set about negotiating his own payment. In short, Hunter is simply one of the most intelligent, professional and thoughtful individuals with whom I've ever had the pleasure to work. He is immensely honest, talented and well-qualified, and a genuinely nice and caring person to boot. Although lawsuits are inherently stressful and unpleasant, I can honestly say that working with Hunter and his colleagues stands out in my mind as a fundamentally positive experience, and I wouldn't hesitate for even a second to recommend him.

Is it possible to be in love with a bunch of lawyers? I ask myself this often when I think of the…read morelawyers at this firm. And then I think, well, I think I AM in love with a bunch of lawyers. These people are tops. They are genuinely GOOD people. I know, it's weird to think of lawyers as GOOD people. But these guys are awesome. If you need representation, and you are lucky enough to have people from here represent you, well, then you'll know what I'm talking about when i say these people are TOPS! It is note worthy to add that these lawyers prompted my friend and I to bake them cookies... which, does not happen very often.

When you find yourself in legal trouble, you want to ensure that the lawyer you engage will give you the best help and advice, without needlessly draining your already-endangered resources. Margo Hasselman Greenough is a laudably honest attorney with abundant integrity who puts her clients first and will give you the help you need, without regard to her own self-interest. My elderly father is facing a series loss of retirement income due to an insignificant error that might have disproportionally large consequences. The first attorney I reached out to, worried us with even larger consequences than we had imagined, offering to help reduce--not eliminate--those consequences, while charging a hefty retainer fee. Ms. Greenough, on the other hand, responded to my inquiry quickly, professionally, and helpfully. After explaining what we could expect given the specifics of our case, Ms. Greenough went on to state that it "is unlikely to be cost-effective to hire private counsel." Furthermore, she pointed us to an organization that could help us free of charge. Ms. Greenough's actions have demonstrated to me that she is the attorney that I want on my side, if ever I am in need of legal counsel. If you are looking for an attorney specializing in employee benefits and employment law, look no further than Ms. Greenough and Renaker Hasselman Scott.

I have worked with Greg and his team for over 7 years on various issues, Contract and Real Estate law, Employment and Civil litigation.

Greg Walston was instrumental in getting the online content removed and resolving the issue. I refer to him as the ultimate fearless Pit Bull! Greg Walston is a brilliant lawyer, trusted advisor and a fierce advocate. I was beyond relieved with the successful outcome of my case, it more than exceeded my expectations.

I reached out to Law Office of Ellen A. Mendelson seeking a consultation regarding a complicated…read moreemployment-related matter. Ms. Mendelson returned my call, but the conversation lasted only a few minutes and did not feel like a meaningful conversation. This was the first employment lawyer I contacted after dealing with the underlying work situation for years. I was hoping for clarity and an outside perspective after feeling that I had experienced a great deal of unfairness. Instead, I left the call feeling that I was met with more unkindness from someone outside of the situation. I was trying to explain that my matter involved several connected concerns and required context. Before many questions were asked or the details could be fully explained, I felt the conversation moved quickly toward a conclusion that my employer had broad authority to direct the work. I understand that attorneys may need documents and additional information before offering legal advice. However, I had hoped for a more curious and balanced initial conversation, with questions asked before conclusions were reached. I did not feel heard or that there was enough space to explain the relevant facts. This may not have been the right fit for my situation, but I hope future prospective clients seeking an initial consultation receive more time to explain their concerns and a clearer sense of whether the office is able to help. And for anyone who has a similarly discouraging first experience, I hope you do not let it stop you from continuing to seek the clarity, support, and fair hearing you deserve. Please see photos for further information and response after Ellen's response to my review above. Thank you. **P.S.** Ellen, I never asked you to work for free. I contacted you seeking a **paid consultation** to determine whether you were the right attorney for my matter. Characterizing that as me asking for free legal work is simply inaccurate and malicious behaviour.
