Hands down, Jeff Butcher is the best lawyer in Ithaca/Tompkins County. I interviewed him after…read morehearing very complimentary things about him from several different people. I had already met with a handful of local attorneys, none of whom I even considered retaining. After my first meeting with Jeff Butcher, I immediately retained him. He has helped me over the years with real estate, custody and a number of other issues. He is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, very intelligent, and direct and open about whatever is going on. Most importantly, he is always scrupulously honest. I will use Mr. Butcher as my attorney forever.

I had head shots scheduled at my house. The photographer who came was very nice but seemed to be…read morenew at his job (and perhaps at photography)--various things went wrong, including lighting, and he had to return to the office to get the correct equipment. Then a not very nice person named Hilary got involved (online), telling me I'd have to pay for all the extra time it took him to get the right equipment and reshoot with the proper lighting. Of course I objected, the situation went downhill, and--full disclosure--she ended up saying the whole shoot would be complimentary due to the mess. I appreciated the offer, but declined because, for better or for worse, he had tried hard and worked long and I didn't want him to be penalized since it was her unpleasantness that had turned things so sour, not simply his lack of competence.

I was very fortunate to have Mr Kee representing me in a very serious matter before the City Court…read morein Ithaca, NY. His knowledge of the Law and the workings of the Court made it possible for him to gain a dismissal of my criminal charge. He was professional and empathetic in all of our interactions and his attention to the details of my case demonstrated his expertise and accountability. Communication with his staff proved absolutely critical in our ability to engage his support quickly and reliably. His communication skills are outstanding and I always felt confident that he was devoting all necessary effort in working with me on my case. I am happy to provide my unfettered recommendation to anyone who might seek his services.

As it turned out, the outcome of the case was already pretty much pre-determined by the NYS statutes. If I had known that, it would have been clear that I didn't need a lawyer at all. I provided her with lots of personal information I thought would help my case, and she ignored it (because she knew it wouldn't matter--though she didn't tell me that). Very uncommunicative. She assumed I knew how the legal process worked when I didn't. Very disappointing.

When representing dirt, you become dirt yourself. Even attorneys should recommend to their clients…read moreto not lie and follow rules and laws, issued by the state residing in. Almost a year has gone by for this case and it's one sided, biased and only has been entertaining lies and manipulation. Whenever the truth is brought up, it is scolded and claimed to be lies and not even given a second thought. If I was a lawyer representing a client with a history of narcissistic behavior, I wouldn't want it to affect my own career going down the tubes with the garbage that is being represented. It's a sad crap show in courts these days with all the lies and misinformation being entertained with no consequences. The truth will surface soon and people are going to answer and be held accountable for their actions in the wrong

I had a very severe health issue that required invasive surgery. I was relegated to a hospital bed for many months. Meanwhile, I was never notified of my dad's passing or the status of his estate, despite being his only child. I called your office and gave an extremely brief explanation of my situation to Lindsey Johnson's assistant and she was extremely rude to me. She said she and/or her office can't help me, which is fine, but I complained to her about her rudeness and lack of empathy at which point she yelled and hung up. No one else I have spoken to in Ithaca has been anything but professional and offered sympathy for my loss. The thing is, I was a paralegal for the trusts and estate managing partner of a NYC Wall Street law firm and we would NEVER have spoken to or treated a potential client this way.
