Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Henry James as a real estate attorney. He was a referral by a…read moregreat real estate agent (Carol Mellander), but he didn't work out for us. We used him for both a buy and sell happening in tandem and we honestly would have switched attorneys if it wasn't such a pain to do so once things are moving. I'm not interested in bashing him, as he seems to be a nice person, so I'll list the issues I've had and you can determine if it is right for you to take a chance on him: 1. Failure on most occasions to update us with progress of our home buy and sell including but not limited to: a. forgetting to mention when our closing was until calling us to ask where we were b. failing to give us closing cost information (including how much to bring to closing) until I called the night before to ask 2. Unprofessional environment... spelling and grammatical errors on most correspondences (including giving the wrong title company name for a cashier's check). Hey, I'm not perfect but I'm on yelp, not an attorney. 3. Failure to notify other parties of requests we had made. 4. Failure to notify us that our money would need to be wired rather than brought as a cashier's check (our A+ real estate agents Carie Cox and Jim Carollo with Redfin caught the error just in time to save closing). 5. Failure to give us sufficient notifiction when things were due unless someone else (our real estate agent or myself) inquired. I'm giving two stars since I reserve one for gross negligence, purposeful deception or criminal activity associated with my interaction.

I highly recommend Stephanie Kasten of Gitlin Law Firm. She is a high-powered, highly skilled…read moreattorney who truly fights for fathers' rights in child custody cases. Stephanie was incredibly detail-oriented throughout my case and consistently demonstrated genuine family values and care. She walked me through every step of the process, making sure I understood what to expect and always felt supported.

Her support staff is equally impressive -- especially Kim, the paralegal, who was always helpful, responsive, and kind. If you're looking for an attorney who combines expertise, strength, and heart, Stephanie Kasten is the one you want in your corner.

I feel completely betrayed by Mr. Haff and deeply disappointed in how he handled my family law…read morecase. Throughout the entire process, he went to court only four times, and during those appearances he said little to nothing--mostly just telling me not to speak to the judge myself. At no point did he advocate for me or make any meaningful effort to help my case. I fulfilled every requirement expected of me, yet he failed to ensure that critical steps were taken, such as making sure I received a service plan. I actually had to request it myself, even though he was in the courtroom when it should have been addressed. I paid him $3,000 for representation, and later he charged me an additional $1,500--then sued me for that amount after providing minimal legal support. His lack of communication, effort, and professionalism left me feeling completely unrepresented and taken advantage of. Given his conduct, I am firmly considering filing a formal complaint with the Bar Association. In my opinion, Mr. Haff's actions fell far below the standard of care expected from an attorney, and I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring him for family law matters.

David knows what he is doing and knows the system very well , he has been doing this for a very long time and is able to help , no regrets at all , thank you David for assisting me during my time of troubles and helping. I also had the experience of with James Andrle while going through a divorce and i must say hands down this is the guy you want contending by your side , he is EXTREMELY KNONLEDGEABLE and will admit that there were moments that i was not able to reach him but that was only because of how busy he is which obviously means he has alot of clients but not once did i feel my case was being neglected , he was able to provide me with a sense of peace and not to worry , lets just say i only had to show up to court to finalize the divorce while he handled it all for me and was extremely reasonable as well , he was able to assure me that things will go well and they did and told me not to worry and i didn't because he was a huge help with what i was battling , i am forever grateful to have met him and have him by my side , again both of these gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable , just take a moment and stop by they're office and see the countless plaques on their walls for excellent service and won cases , it speaks for itself , and after reading some of these reviews , i will say that yes they are very busy but they know what they are doing and handle it well , thank you both for your help and service .

After three months of negligible progress and virtually no communication--despite being told my…read morecase would take about six weeks--I dismissed Steve Brody and retained a new firm. I initially hired the firm in early June after a positive consultation with Tim, who assured me my amicable divorce would be quick and straightforward. My ex and I had already agreed on a parenting plan and asset division; I only needed legal review. In three months, Steve spoke with me once (June 28), during which he suggested filing a counter-petition, but I told him this was not needed since we already had a plan in place. I submitted my financial affidavit, and my ex promptly provided hers and our parenting plan, yet Steve never followed up to review these key documents. In late August, I learned from my ex that her attorney had not received my affidavit and that a court hearing was scheduled in three days. Steve failed to notify me of the hearing or provide any updates despite repeated emails. At the hearing, he reportedly told the judge he needed more time to respond and to file a counter-petition, directly contradicting my instructions. I repeatedly emailed Steve and his assistant Anna without replies (see timeline below) and ultimately requested that Tim take over my case. Though Tim acknowledged my concerns, no follow-up from Steve occurred, and on September 4 I ended Steve's representation. Below is a record of calls/emails to Steve's office that went unanswered: 7/1: email to Steve with a question about my financial affidavit. No reply 7/23: email to Anna asking for the status of my financial affidavit. No reply. 8/14: email to Anna asking what happens next, since my financials were submitted. No reply 8/22: follow-up to Anna asking if she saw my previous emails. No reply 8/25: email to Steve asking about the status of my case. No reply 8/26: email to Steve sharing my concern about the lack of communication, what would happen in court in 3 days, and for an update as to what happens next in my case. No reply 8/27: emailed Steve 4 specific questions about my case, and told him I'd like a reply by the end of the day. He responded that he would call me that evening. No call was received. 8/28: email to Steve indicating that I never received a call from him. I still want the info requested. No reply 9/4: notified Steve that he will no longer be representing me Steve's lack of communication and inaction were unprofessional and unacceptable. By contrast, my new attorney accomplished more for me in two weeks than Steve did in three months. If you need to verify Steve's level of professionalism, simply go look at their FB page.
