Kraemer, Manes &amp; Associates

A Mess of an Organization…read more I spent 2.5 years working with this firm, after a referral from a colleague. It is arguably one of the sloppiest professional services companies I've ever experienced. The number of documented problems I experienced with Dornish Law had is egregiously long, but I'll stick to the worst: 1. Attorney Turnover - I had five different attorneys. The first was fired, the second "disappeared" with no explanation. The third quit. The fourth was a partner who made it clear I would be handed to a new attorney "when they became available." The fifth was a counsel who made it clear in writing, that my case was not her priority. 2. Multiple Incorrect Filings - Seven different filings with local courts were submitted incorrectly and required re-filing. One of the attempts of service on the defendant was made. The next day I received a call from an attorney saying "we f***ed up the paperwork, and have to resubmit." That mistake resulted in three additional months to find the defendant, who relocated after being served. They couldn't even bill me correctly, having to amend 4 different bills due to incorrect hours tracking for work never completed. 3. Witnessing Verbally Abusive Behavior From a Partner to a Counsel - When trying to rectify one of the mistakes above, I watched attorney #4 verbally scold attorney #3, like he was a child. It was so uncomfortable, I asked to end the call after she said to him "just stop talking." 4. Long Gaps in Progress - On two separate occasions, I went over six months without an update. At no point in my case did I ever feel well-informed. I would be provided dates when I could expect an update. Those deadlines would pass, and it would require multiple emails and calls to get any kind of answer, usually several weeks later. Most of the time, it was "no update." Zero initiative. 5. Poor Advice - It took over $3,000 in billings for me to ask at what point I'd be eligible to recapture attorney's fees from the defendant. I was then informed my attorney fees weren't eligible for recovery in this type of case. I wouldn't have even taken this case if I knew that at the outset. It got to the point where I was actively soliciting consultations for legal malpractice, when one firm said it wasn't worth the effort, because they'd be "punching down" to go after Dornish Law. I am tired of pursuing this case, and am walking away from any potential money because of how badly this firm supported me. The lost money stings, but what really bothers me is just how terrible it felt being in a situation where I needed help, trusting they'd take care of me, and getting the bare minimum (often low-skill) effort in return.

Estate settlement experience My siblings and I chose to…read moreretain Jennifer Johnson, Esq. of Bernstein-Burkley because she was the attorney who drew up my deceased mother's will. Jennifer was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable and efficient...until I had to return to the courthouse to correct papers from the original will that were filed incorrectly. This entailed rounding up the original witnesses again and collecting their notarized signatures. Mistakes happen. The estate was not complicated. As executor, I consolidated the bank accounts and sold the condo. I did everything promptly as instructed. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania it is necessary to wait a year after the filing before distributing the proceeds of an estate. When that year passed we were told that we had to wait an additional 6 months with no explanation (I still do not know why). Perhaps someone did not do her job. Nobody suffered bodily harm, all of the required papers were eventually filed and the estate was distributed, so no harm right? The problem is that I paid a premium price for a substandard job.

In my case I needed an estate attorney to update my will and prepare POA as well as an advanced directive. It is really difficult to imagine what goes into drafting these documents so that they would be acceptable to the state. Working with Nicole P. Esq, made it a lot easier. I was able to have my consult via Zoom and came in only when the documents were ready for signature and notarization. She explained the pros and cons of doing a will by yourself. The firm will keep the originals on file and send me copies. She led me into a large conference room where we had our meeting along with coffee and water. Expect to pay for attorney services for the time rendered. All in all it is worth it to have peace of mind regarding future planning. Located in One Oxford center on the 14th floor they have their own parking garage.

Other recruiters would also offer me things like iOS development (when I'm a C# programmer) or 6-month contracting positions when I told them I was only interested in full-time.

Our case included thousands of pages of medical records, and Karl took the time to carefully review everything and prepare a detailed federal brief that accurately portrayed my husband's disability, clearly identified the legal errors in the prior denial, and led to a Sentence 4 reverse and remand. Because of his work, we were given another hearing where the medical expert confirmed that the criteria for disability were met, and the vocational expert testified that no jobs were available. This showed how strong the case became after Karl's involvement. Just as important, Karl and his team showed genuine kindness throughout the process. This system can be very triggering and overwhelming, and they consistently treated our family with patience, respect, and understanding. After three separate Social Security applications and many denials, we are finally approved thanks to Karl and his team. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Karl Osterhout and his team. My only regret is not using OBD in our earlier applications

Even after notifying them to not contact me Osterholt felt the need to be petty and still contact me to further my disappointment about losing my case calling it a "freebee" email, well, that should explain to everyone what type of people they are..."not good" I'm a person who reached out for help, to the trust, and concern the firm would have the knowledge to help me with my case. They did not. I was treated less-than, and I did all the work, people who are having grave health issues are already in need, and to be treated so disrespectfully only added to my health issue, emotionally, and physically, and that is just disgusting to me. I'm continuing my fight with my case and still have hope that lawyers do care about their client's and doing the best for them This firm is not it. Please make sure you fully research these companies before hiring them to represent you.
