My cousins met with Lisa and she made plenty of promises and told them what they had to hear to get…read morethem to hand her 10k. Than she handed a high conflict custody battle over to someone who had only been in family law for a very short time. After having to make them fix the documents several times due to wrong names, or spelling or irrelevant information. They finally filed her case with the court ​after saying another lawyer (her daughter) would take the case. Once the case was filed with the court they called my cousin to tell them that they can no longer represent her due to a conflict. Mind you at this point they have already take 2k from their money. She was finally able to get the rest of her money back minus the 2k. Come to find out from other lawyers this is common, and she will refuse to take a case that will go to trail. So dont bother taking a high conflict custody battle to this woman. She will leave you high and dry while setting you up for failure. Thanks to her actions her ex husband has done nothing but stalk her and cause problems between her and the child. Because he now knows she was going to take him to court. Shame on you!

Like another reviewer here has stated, I was unexpectedly dropped as a client after my hearing. The…read moreattorney's withdrawal letter stated that their office would not be filing an appeal of the judge's decision on my behalf. The judge has not made a decision yet, so I am not sure how they know that I will be denied. And if they knew I would be denied all along, why did they take my case in the first place? If I would have known this from the beginning, I would have used a different law firm that wanted to win. So fair warning that this is the kind of treatment this firm gives the vulnerable population. Not sure how they sleep at night.

Mark Spellman and his associates will help you and your family in any and every way they can! They stood by my family and myself and were in constant communication with us, letting us know what was going on with our case and breaking it down so that we could fully understand the legal proceedings that were ongoing. They were there for us through every step of the case including finding us expert witnesses that were able to fight and identify the various circumstances surrounding our case. My case was probably very different than many other cases due to my military service and having a majority of my care being completed with the Veteran's Affairs. I strongly recommend Mark Spellman and his Law Firm to any and all individuals facing a potential Medical Malpractice case, including my fellow Veterans' and their families. Mr. Spellman showed the upmost professionalism and compassion for my issues and was always willing to take my call at anytime day or night.

He took my opinions and medical issues seriously and worked with me through some of mine and my family's darkest times.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Spellman and his firm, it is my personal opinion for anyone facing legal proceedings following a Medical Malpractice incident, that you consider Mr. Mark Spellman and his staff first and foremost as they will fight for you and your families best interests through the entire process!

He takes the time to make sure he understands completely and explains the pros and cons of different paths to reach a resolution on the issue at hand. With such positive interaction and noting the other reviews that you have to scroll down and click the link to find, I can only assume that the response to the Christa S is one meant for another firm and created in error. Given Harley has a response I did not see a response from Christa which would be normal if properly placed to start. As the many other reviews suggest I would highly recommend Erbe law as they are professional, experienced, and very customer-focused. They communicate very well through the process.

The place is like family; while they exhibit the utmost professionalism, they take time to get to know you, they address you like a person and not necessarily just another client. The lawyers are transparent about expectations and will work with you on whatever strategy you'd like to pursue. Payment arrangements were easy and straight forward, and although divorces are never cheap, these folks aren't out to run up your bill. Communication has been simple and I was able to use email for most of my interactions. They go to bat for you so you can focus on getting your life back in order - but if you want to do the legwork and save money, they will definitely help you through it. Longer story short, I'm glad I trusted them through this. I actually looked forward to working with them. I know this is an insanely difficult time in your life, but trust these people - they're honest, up front and professional.

Biggest waste of money I've ever spent. My "attorney", Stephen Babe, was utterly and completely…read moreworthless. On top of the thousands of dollars he charged leading up to the court date he also demanded almost $10k for the two days in court or he'd withdraw. When we actually got to court he was very antsy and fidgety, almost like someone who had too much Adderall. My financial affidavit was also filed incorrectly which caused my child support amount to be astronomically high. Even after I brought this to the attention of Stephen and the firm I was essentially told to get lost and that they still wanted more money from me. Overall I would not and will not ever recommend anybody ever go there.

I had an excellent experience working with Andrea at Flanagan Law Group. From the very beginning,…read moreshe was extremely pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. She handled everything behind the scenes and made the entire process much less stressful for me. What impressed me most was how thorough and prepared she was. It was clear she was ready to go the distance if needed, but thanks to her hard work and research, she was able to get my case dismissed before the preliminary hearing even took place. Andrea was also very articulate in explaining each step of the process and pricing, and always made sure I understood what was happening. I truly felt like she was on my side and fighting for the best possible outcome. If I ever need legal representation again in the future, she will absolutely be my first call. Highly recommend Andrea and Flanagan Law Group.
