I came to this law firm at a very difficult time in my life. My Mom was diagnosed with dementia and…read moreI brought her here to gain power of attorney for my brothers and I. No one at the firm showed us the least bit of consideration or kindness. The length of time from our meeting to getting the paperwork was weeks and I was desperately trying to get my Moms affaires in order. When I asked for updates I got nothing. When they finally sent the paperwork they screwed up and had to get them redone. Months later, I had another legal matter come up and thought, well let me at least just get a couple questions answered. I emailed them to ask questions. I received a very curt response with spelling errors that made no sense. I wrote back repeatedly for clarification and was ignored. Never even bothered to correct the grammatical errors that made the response even more confusing. I would never come back here, nor recommend them to anyone.

I worked as an attorney for nearly 40 years and learned the importance of a solid estate plan and…read morethe need for skilled representation in the later stages of life. I worked in an area of law where I saw first hand the consequences of plans not made or poorly executed. To avoid such problems, my wife and I worked with Kathryn Casey, an attorney with an exceptional understanding of long-term care planning. We wanted two things from her: an estate plan that met our current needs and a relationship with a a firm that would be available in the future, in case our needs or circumstances changed. Kathryn designed an estate plan that specifically met our needs, as opposed to a boilerplate approach that might not make sense for our situation. Just as importantly, Kathryn and her associates work every day in the areas of elder law, guardianship, and probate, and their knowledge in these areas gives us confidence that they will be there if we need them some day. One always hopes for the best and easiest outcome, but it is comforting to know that Kathryn Casey and her firm are available if and when they are needed. She is easy to work with, tremendously skilled and thoughtful, and her office handled our case in a timely and professional manner, and at a fair price.

In a span of a week, without us changing anything, they were cancelling and rebooking our appt for the same date/time. They were a nonshow to our scheduled appoinment TWICE.

We went with another firm.

This is the law firm that drew up my father-in-law's estate planning, so when he passed, after…read moreinterviewing various attorneys, we selected this one. Figured it would help streamline things since they handled everything we were going to have to deal with. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Marty was sorely lacking in communication and follow through. It took a couple of months just to email us a statement of our account to see if there was a balance due or a refund so we could settle up since we had already hired another lawyer. He did end up apologizing and taking responsibility for the poor communication in the email in which he sent the final statement. So I guess that's better than not recognizing it at all. He completed just the initial steps of everything that he agreed to complete from our initial meeting with him and our new lawyer has completed pretty much everything in half the time for a fraction of the price.

He's just as arrogant as reviews here say, but worse, he's entirely ineffective. His reputation is well known but not for his skills, others in the industry speak of him with open contempt.

You're going to lose a lot of time, and perhaps a lot of money.

To be completely transparent, I believe our court systems are full of frivolous lawsuits. I…read morepersonally never would want to be part of any of it. Unfortunately last year, the CEO of the company I was working for decided that it would be a fantastic idea to bring his enormous dog "Tank" into the office. I'm not against dogs in the workplace but the dog should be well behave... at least a little. while I was grabbing my lunch from the fridge Tank decided that my lunch was his and snatched my lunch from my hand. I did not know that retrieval of my lunch was going to set him off and boom he bit me on the face. He ripped my lip and cheek. Long story short the company legal said I should have contacted the CEO to get my lunch back and it was my fault because I provoked Tank. They decided that they weren't going to cover the reconstruction surgery that was required to make my face back in working order. I was referred to Mike Orzoff from a friend who said the guy was legit. Not only did Mike Orzoff get me the money for the surgery but also got a bit extra to make sure I could pay my bills while in recovery. I am truly grateful to Mike for getting me through the entire process. If you need legal assistance I suggest going through Orzoff Law.

Being injured at work is a horrible experience. Hope no one else has to go thru it. Happened to me…read moreand it the most scary experience of my life. My injuries required surgery and extensive rehab. I received a referral for the founder (father) of this firm but my case went to one of the sons. The father (Stewart) has good recommendations here. The son, not so much. I truly regret not doing better research. My case was not represented as aggressively as it should have been. The insurance company dictated everything, including cutting off my physical therapy early. My lawyer told me in advance not to worry if this happened because he could fight it. When it happened, he did NOTHING to fight for me. My physical therapist did more to fight for me to get the doctor-prescribed therapy for me than my lawyer did. Two separate lawyers reviewed (without knowing settlement) and confirmed it should have been higher. I felt like my lawyer was more interested in settling than aggressively fighting for me. If you're injured, learn from me and do your research before hiring a lawyer.

If you're looking for a long-raging, expensive, brutal divorce where the attorneys care more about themselves than you and your children's best interests, Grund and Leavitt is the place to go. If you want someone who will treat you with respect, take your case seriously, and help you, look elsewhere. After finally cutting my losses and retaining counsel elsewhere it turns out these people have quite a reputation as being impossible to work with, unprofessional, and downright inappropriate. They only have their own best interests in mind and don't care about you as a client or the longterm health of you or your family. You will pour tens of thousands of dollars into your case with these people for nothing to happen, documents to get lost, and you to get treated like you're nothing more than annoying gum stuck to the bottom of these people's shoes. There are so, so, so many better options in this city for you to represent you. Even under the best circumstances, divorce is a horrible time in your life. Don't make it more horrible by retaining these people. Go elsewhere. Full stop. If I can stop even one person from spending money with these jerks, this review will have been worth writing.
