I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Joseph Beck for his immediate, effective legal…read moreassistance that resulted in swift resolution. I hired Mr. Beck to navigate the process of a very serious legal issue that came up very suddenly. I was given his name from a top attorney in criminal law in the Portland area. I appreciated the free consultation with Mr. Beck before my decision to hire him. It was clear that his expertise in explaining the legal process, the team approach at Harris Velazquez Gibbons, and providing a strategy greatly reduced my anxiety. It then allowed me to focus my energies to help with the strategy. I highly recommend Mr. Beck for his exemplary professionalism, expertise, and efficiency as an attorney.

Pretty sure people that are calling in for an attorney are already feeling overwhelmed and desperate for help and to then have attitude is absolutely unacceptable. The last straw for me with this firm was being told I'd hear from one of the attorneys shortly and they just never called me at all. I would recommend giving your finances to any other firm besides this one. I expect way better for people that are taking so much of my money.

DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!!! I only gave one star because I…read moredidn't know how to give zero. I am currently facing criminal charges and for the simple fact that my previous attorney committed suicide earlier this year I chose to go with this firm. Unknowingly that they are hourly. I literally got into an argument with Mark Cogan on the phone as to why is his quote 10,000 dollars and not 7,500 like all the other firms that I have called. He said this is his business he is the boss and he and he only sets the price. At no time during that conversation did he tell me that this firm is not flat rate as is 90% of all other Attorneys in the area. If I was upset about 2500 dollars then at that point it should have been explained to me that they are not flat rate and that a case like mine would be a lot more than 10,000 anyway. What he said (Mark) was that " if you have a problem with that price then maybe we're not the firm you should go with" never once did he say we are not flat rate. Otherwise why would anyone who is upset about the difference between 7500 and 10,000. Continue to go with this firm knowing it will be a lot more? I am not mentally insane and I work very hard for my income as a small business owner. That 10,000 set my family budget back and now not only did I explain this to Mark he knew that I didn't know it. He sent a request for funds and in the email he said that " some individuals who are in a financial bind can turn to friends and family members, here is a link for them" in the email. Obviously he knew that. He never sat down with me to even meet me before depositing my check into his account. Matter of fact I never met him at all! He claimed to be sick in the office when I came to meet him. Though he still had me sign the paperwork to hire him and accepted me check without explaining how their firm charges. I was set to go to trial in a couple weeks before I signed up with his firm. I can admit that I didn't read the fine print. And I do mean fine. Almost 1000 words on a sheet of paper, in front of a person who is facing charges is a lot to understand. I should have had someone go over the fee agreement with me. Anyone in his office could have easily explained that they are not a flat rate form like most others are and that they could be a lot more than 10 grand so think about that before you make your decision to commit to this firm for representation. DID THAT HAPPEN? NO! He might have a good courtroom reputation, but do not go with this firm. Mark Cogan does not care about people at all. He knew that I would it be able to afford his firm yet failed to properly go over the fee agreement with me. As I was arguing with him over 2500 dollars. Yet still he let me sign that fee agreement without him nor anyone else in the office explaining it to me. He may very well have been sick that day we were supposed to have our initial meeting. I don't know. What I do know is that I had hired a previous Attorney to represent me and she committed suicide. I hired his firm unknowingly of the fees that it would be. And I explained that to Mark. It was a honest mistake. I asked could he please help me. Maybe a sliding scale or limited scope of work. Knowing that I didn't understand his feelings agreement because no one in his office went over it with me. He didn't even reply to my email, just had his paralegal send me a letter of withdrawal from my case. He might be a great attorney but he is a terrible man. His morals are in line with money hungry politicians that tell you one thing but mean something different. He knows the situation I am in and took advantage of me. Pure evil, with no intent on serving the people he works for just his bank account.

When it came time to call around for divorce attorneys, they all had a relatively common refrain:…read moreessentially, "abandon all hope and resign yourself to eternal suffering--you're ****ed." With the notable exception of Jessy from Hotley Law! When Jessy returned my call, she came PREPARED. Wanted all the details, listened extremely attentively, and laid out what the legal strategy, costs, benefits, etc were in proceeding. I can't thank Jessy and Solveig from Hotley Law enough. They handled all my questions, took care of the paperwork and any potential loose ends, and turned, well, let's be honest, a not-so-great experience into a 5-star one! For reals, thank you to Jessy, Solveig, and the team at Hotley Law from me and my kid for helping us get past this chapter and onto to the rest of our lives.

Prior to retaining the services of Holtey Law, my wife and I had been involved in a painful,…read moretwo-year long custodial struggle, with a lawyer who was...less than helpful. Eventually, we were forced to change strategies, and attorneys. We had sought a second opinion on our case from Nathan Holtey, who came recommended to us, and that one hour conversation was enough to convince us that he and his team were up to the task. When the aforementioned change of representation occurred, Nathan was personally unavailable for our case, but recommended the absolutely stellar, professional and personable Allison Kamilos. Allison immediately picked up the slack, leaping in to the middle of the previous attorney's clusterf**k, managing to turn everything around and help us navigate the final steps of our custody battle, despite an absurdly tight schedule before the final deadline. Allison communicated clearly, openly and honestly, listening to our concerns, offering feedback and advice (something our previous attorney failed to do), and making one of the most stressful and frustrating times in our lives navigable, bearable, and affordable. I cannot recommend the services of Holtey Law, and Allison in particular, any higher. If ever the situation arises again, where we are in need of an attorney (and I pray that day never comes), I will look nowhere else for legal representation. Case closed.

Completely shocked and traumatized, I started searching for lawyers. A dear family friend recommended Mr. Lubic to me. After our initial consultation, I could tell he was the right lawyer for me. I felt seen and heard! He was able to grasp my confusing situation and offer grounded advice and options, something I've never experienced with hiring a lawyer in the past. He's honest and straightforward nature, while also treating me like a human being, communicating empathically and in a caring professional manner is a unique gift. He provided a level of expertise with my case and his legal field in a way that was understandable without being condescending or demeaning. His trauma-informed approach helped me through the difficult hearing prep work for trial where I had to tell him the details of the Domestic Violence I endured, going through the legal system is traumatic and he helped me put it all in perspective so that I could come out the other side. The legal matter I was facing was confusing, and he helped me untangle it in a timely and cost-effective manner. He coached me through the difficulties and provided me with solutions. He helped me calm my nerves and understand clearly in a professional, compassionate way. He was always responsive and reliable when I had questions or needed more explanation and provided me with options on how to proceed considering my budget and financial situation. He's worth what he charges. I felt considered and that he invested in my fight and ultimately wanted the best possible outcome for me and my son and he helped me get just that. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any of my legal needs. Patient compassionate reliable understanding professional knowledgeable provided options and answered all my questions
