    Elissa Green Attorney at Law

    Elissa Green Attorney at Law

    Elissa Green, Attorney at Law, moved her office. I'll update the Yelp information. Her new location…read moreis at 3350 L&N Drive Huntsville, AL 35801. It's a couple of businesses south of the large Redstone Federal Credit Union on South Parkway, south of Drake. Elissa was located in downtown Huntsville when I last met with her in 2002, and this location has easy parking, less traffic and a much nicer waiting room area, also! The drawback is the office is branded as "Daniels Law, LLC" and "Suzette E. Daniels" with no signage for "Elissa Green" inside or outside. Ms. Green's website and google listing display her previous downtown office location, so it can be a little confusing locating her, although her staff were good to give me the new address on L&N drive. Elissa is a local Huntsvillian and has practiced law over thirty years. She practices general litigation, family law, criminal defenses, divorces, and general legal services. I retained her for wills for my husband and me back in 2002 and needed to wrap up this process, and consult with her about potential trusts and quit claim deeds. Since everything is so expensive these days, I anticipated her consultation fee increasing since my last appointment with her and surprisingly it had not, it is still $100.00/hour with a fee charged for debit cards (and maybe a fee for credit cards) and zero fees for cash/check payments. Elissa is easy to communicate with and talks at a level a five year old could understand. She explained the local probate process, and did not try to "upsell" the Hubs and me on any additional legal services we were asking about. She carefully explained the next steps in the wills/medical wishes related paperwork process and we were on our way in around 35 minutes. I'm happy her firm emails the will paperwork to us for our approval and we have one more in person meeting to sign/initial documents. I recommend Elissa Green for your general legal issues/questions/concerns. She is honest, easy to communicate with, and has an easy process to complete to get your will/medical wishes paperwork done!

    Great attorney. She's got a big heart and will do all she can for you in the court room. She…read moredoesn't unfairly charge for services and her prices for divorces are competitive. Will refer to her for any legalities in the future and will always recommend her. Great person.

    Bruce came highly recommended but unfortunately the experience was disenchanted. This guy has the…read morearrogance of a male chauvinist. He will make you promises, take your money then completely dismisses the client by abruptly cutting off communication with no return phone calls nor response to emails. He's a manipulative crook. Call ANYONE but him for your legal needs unless you enjoy giving your money away. He deserves a ZERO rating because that's the quality of service he provides. Additionally, he also plays POLITICS with people's lives.

    We paid Mr. Gardner a $10,000 retainer a few years ago for an ongoing investigation that resulted…read morein no charges. I was informed that no charges would be pursued by the original investigator, not Mr. Gardner, who had not communicated with me in over 32 months since we last asked for a status of the case and for him to take action, like a motion for return of property. We directly requested Mr. Gardner to act on our behalf, by filing the previously mentioned motion and he refused saying it was not the right time, so we asked to be notified of the right time, but that time never came. So, I sought to fire Mr. Gardner and hire an attorney who said she would act now, on my behalf. We requested detailed billing for legal services rendered to us but never received these details and Mr. Gardner convinced us to stay with him so we did not continue to pursue getting our funds back. However, when we heard that no charges would be filed, again 32 months after our last communication from Mr. Gardner's office, we once again requested detailed billing for all expenses incurred for legal services he provided on our behalf and for a second time we were not provided these details. Additionally, Mr. Gardner has now changed his tune and has started to suddenly claim that the $10,000 was a flat fee, though that never came up when we tried to fire him the first time, they only argued for us to stay with them, not that the fee was a flat fee rather than a retainer fee..most states don't allow special flat rate retainer fees because it prevents the client from changing attorneys until the completion of a specific project, including Alabama. There was no contract shared with us that we signed stating that this was a flat fee rather than a retainer and all the language we used in the office with Mr. Gardner the day we paid him, was for a retainer, to get involved with the investigation and to retain his services should charges be filed. I've asked Mr. Gardner's office to produce any such contract stating this was a flat fee and that it was acknowledged by us, but they are unable to produce the contract and our records only reflect an electronic receipt for the credit card payment that was made for the...RETAINER. Since the office seems to have forgotten the legal way to handle retainers, I'll drop a few definitions below. Our next steps are to file an ethics complaint with the Alabama State Bar and the Huntsville Bar Association, after which we will continue our counsel with a legal malpractice team, who we plan to pay all recovered funds to, as this is no longer about recouping the money, but the principle of the matter and the ability to trust those in the law profession. General retainers are fees for a specific period of time, not a specific project. You are basically paying the attorney to be available for discussions and questions about legal matters during this time. For example, you may want an employment attorney on retainer to help you deal with issues that come up with employees. A retaining fee is a deposit or lump-sum you pay in advance. The attorney must (by law) deposit that money in a trust account to draw from as work is done. If there is money left in the trust account at the end of the project, you get that back. A special retainer is a flat fee that you would pay for a specific case or project. Many states prohibit this type of retainer because it means you can't discharge the attorney until the end of the project. https://www.alabar.org/office-of-general-counsel/formal-opinions/2008-03/ QUESTION: Should a flat fee that is received prior to the conclusion of representation be deposited into an attorney's IOLTA account or is it earned at the time of receipt? ANSWER: In Alabama, a flat fee that is received prior to the conclusion of the representation or prior to the performance of services must be deposited in the attorney's IOLTA account until the fee is actually earned.

    If you've found yourself here on this site and are reading this review, you're probably looking for…read morean Attorney to represent you through a very scary and tough situation. You're probably afraid of what's to come, apprehensive about appearing in court and praying someone can help you and take your stress away. I know because I've been there. I was literally living with a warrant for several years, in fear and hiding, before I too ended up here, deciding on an Attorney to represent me. I chose The Crumbley Law Firm and as they say, it was already written that everything was going to be okay. The staff was always kind, courteous and professional whenever I needed to call the Law Office. I came in to speak with Russell and dumped the weight of my issues on his desk. He put them in my folder and immediately took over as of that day. I left his office feeling like I'm no longer alone. I have a whole Law Firm behind me. My case was pretty damn bad. But Russell simplified it by just starting from the beginning and rode it out until the end. I was able to get my life back after running for years. No more nightmares. No more feeling like I'm not worth anything to society. I couldn't have done it without Russell's leadership. He literally set up an appointment with the JUDGE over my case. I didn't even know that was possible! I'm not telling you to allow yourself to get a warrant or to run from the law. That was the stupidest thing I could've ever done. What I'm telling you is this... If you're in trouble, nomatter how hopeless you think it may be, call The Crumbley-Blackwell Law Firm. Don't fight this alone. Let this team help you by having educated professionals behind you. The Prosecutor has a team ready to fight against you in court. Get your team together by hiring a competent Defense Attorney. Thank you so much Russell for giving me my life back. Hopefully I'll never need you again... BUT IF I DO, I know where to find you!!!
