Sam MacRae Law Firm litigated my case, as the plaintiff, to exceed all expectations on every spectrum. In the end, I strongly value Sam's pure honesty and personal communication. In over a year and a half of litigation, Sam was the only point of contact between the law firm and I, which I considered, very unique. Throughout the process, every step was thoroughly described to me, options clearly vetted and advice thoughtfully presented. Everyday I wish the accident never took place but thankful to have Sam to represent me. This was my first and hopefully last experience with civil litigation but life is never clearly drawn out and if a need ever presented itself, Sam is my go to attorney and will always be a friend to me. Thank you!

Blake Spale charged me $3500 for a misdemeanor case. On the second court date, yes you read that right, the second court date, I came to court and he allowed the DA to blindside me with a trial that day. We were not ready, had not received discovery, nor a chance to produce any witnesses. So much for due process at Shotwell Law Group! Just before being taking to the holding cell, I asked the deputy to petition the court for a "trial de novo", legally vacating the conviction and sentence. Be very very careful with Blake Spale, he can come off as outgoing and trustworthy but he's a true snake in the grass. These charges related to a case where I was actually the victim of physical and civil harm. The alleged witness in the case ADMITTED on the stand the racially harassing me. In November I emailed Blake asking him to produce an affidavit swearing that he was a witness to that testimony. Attached is the email he responded with. After he got his balance of $3000, he of course disappeared like a ghost in the wind! p.s. I originally had wrote a review but not nearly as detailed but he saw me in person and pressured me to remove the review. Also, he claims to have motioned for a continuance in the case but feel free to check my eCourt file, there is no such motion.

The 2 Clean Queens

I really wanted to like this cleaning company, especially because they present themselves well with…read morebrochures, business cards, appointment confirmations, and text reminders. Unfortunately, the actual cleaning did not match the polished presentation. I hired this company for a deep clean, and the service did not match what was written in the contract. Several areas, like the laundry room, which were specifically included in the contract, were skipped entirely. When I asked them to come back to complete the work they had already been paid for, they told me it would be a "second phase" and would require additional payment. There was never an agreement about "phases", and it is not reasonable to charge extra for work that was already included in the original contract. They also skipped the copper sink completely. Their explanation was that there was a dish in the sink. We were home the entire time, and they could have simply asked us to move it. That alone demonstrates the level of effort and communication they were willing to put in. Cleaning products were used that were not appropriate for the materials in my home. Clorox wipes were used on surfaces that require specific cleaners, which explains why stains and buildup remained afterward. It felt rushed and not thoughtful. The team was friendly, but the quality of the work and the refusal to honor the original agreement were very disappointing. I paid for a deep clean, not a partial job with surprise "phases" added afterward. If you need a true deep clean or someone who understands how to care for different materials, this is not the company I would recommend. This experience taught me that a professional marketing appearance does not always equal professional results.
