Megan Bruce is a very nice person, and no doubt she is highly skilled in her profession; however,…read moreno amount of niceness or professional skill obviates the need for communication, and it is exactly on that point that she failed as my attorney. Weeks after I engaged her services, she stopped communicating with me. Before she took a month-long leave of absence, she turned my case over to a colleague who likewise failed to communicate. After she returned to her job, she again failed to communicate. Eventually, after I had paid her fees amounting to about $6,000, I had to terminate our attorney/client agreement. Much later I asked if she might refund a small part of those fees, and she again failed to communicate--not even a polite "No".

We had our estate plan that was developed for us in Chicago and had to be changed due to our residency in California. We came to Eric Gullotta through our real estate agents and had him checked out through our long time attorney in Chicago and we decided to have Eric redo all of our trust documents. He was fantastic. He redid our trusts, changed our wills, created power of attorney documents and Healthcare Directive. The documents and the delivery were thorough, concise, complete and were communicated clearly. We had to change the documents this past year due to some changes we wanted to make. Eric, determined the best and most economical method to do just what we wanted. Throughout the process, we found Eric and his firm to be completely committed to assisting us, determining the best method, the most complete and competitive fee and treated us with respect and appreciation. I don't how much more I can say to recommend the Gullotta Law Group other than to say use them, you will be happy and satisfied.
