A version I was not requested to write by someone else, but felt compelled and comfortable enough to finally write from within and on my own for the public to see and for others who can relate with similar public 1 star reviews publicly shown and both visible and viewable to see. Currently 1 of 10 others. As a PROUD, Non-Binary and Homosexual member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am writing to alert the both public and my community of my personal experience with the Bell Law Group. My representation throughout what would have been a two year contract; before I fired the firm For Cause, was met with a sudden and unprofessional lack of continuity that felt particularly egregious given my status as a protected individual during a period of medical, transitional, and overall life changing instability for nearly two years. I've since officially escalated this matter to the Attorney Grievance Committee, as well as the Mayor's and Governor's offices, to ensure accountability for what I characterize as an abandonment of professional duty, collectively. I have since secured superior counsel and am addressing all matters related overall, but I URGE others; especially those in protected classes (LGBTQIA+) to be wary of the potential for instability and disregard at this firm. This review is based upon my specific experience and factual experience with the firm and specific to my legal matters in particular through its representation from 2024-2026.

During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

I would definitely use them again and have referred them as well.

The handling of my BSA claim has been marked by unreasonable delays, repeated errors, inadequate…read morecommunication, and a lack of diligence that has significantly hindered the timely resolution of my case. Throughout the claims process, I have experienced repeated delays that have prevented my claim from progressing in a reasonable manner. In addition to these delays, I have encountered errors that required correction and further delayed the processing of my claim. Despite my efforts to obtain updates and clarification, communication has frequently been limited, inconsistent, or nonexistent, leaving me uncertain about the status of my claim and the actions being taken on my behalf. I have now received a second request to sign the release packet because my first attempt "wasn't a valid signature" even though it was done through a notary. This morning (June 28, 2026) I received the second request, however the notary refused to continue because the amount of the claim was not filed on. How this could even pass all the levels of checks is beyond me.

Re-living 9/11 as I went through the process was very emotional and I am grateful for the empathy expressed as well as the competence of everyone involved. I highly recommend this law firm.

I had to pay over 5000.00 just for P&N to tell me that they still had not a full analysis of my case. The lawyer I spoke to was not even a real estate lawyer. I had to find another lawyer to take my case. This was an absolute waste of time, energy and money.

Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.
