We used Rich Maita for two previous real estate transactions which were, with some constant…read morecontact, done sufficiently. 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.

Since his passing in October of 2025, the process for resolving the trust has been very difficult. it's going to cost us around $8500 additionally after the initial $5000, and we have no communication. It would have been faster and cheaper to have a will. The notice to creditors has maybe still not happened, almost 6 months later, or at least we have not been told. I could give names of those within Strauss who have been unresponsive, but I would rather not.

Our father set up a trust with Strauss Attorneys, PLLC. He died over two years ago and we were…read moretold that Dad's assets should be easy to distribute and it should take less than a year to close everything. We still have not received all the funds. Although we are successfully retired college graduates, we have been told by estate lawyers here in Michigan that dad's trust was written to specify subtrusts (with Strauss as trustee) that are appropriate for beneficiaries who are drug addicts or incapacitated in some way. Initially Strauss delayed putting a notice to creditors in the paper (typically done a week or two after death) for over six months, delaying the partial distribution which we got eleven months after dad died. They remediated the subtrust issue by generating new subtrusts at our expense - another half a year. These apparently are paying taxes at the maximum possible rate because there are no K1s. Every quarter fees are taken from the trust but there is no transparency, no accounting statements despite many requests, and no end to the delays. We are frustrated beyond description and starting to wonder if an employee has absconded with the funds. Hoping it doesn't drag on to 2026. I wish we had hired a different North Carolina law firm long ago and made them trustee.
