After my elderly mother received terrible advice from an attorney at a very large firm who had…read moredrawn up her will (he was pushing an irrevocable trust that was clearly not in her best interest but would profit the firm considerably, and there were several things wrong with the will as well), we began an online search for a reputable elder and estate planning attorney. Impressed with the reviews left for Shannon Macleod, we made an appointment. After carefully listening to our thoughts and concerns, Shannon explained the options that would fit my mom's needs best in a clear and concise manner. She explained why some options were not the best fit, outlining the pros and cons of each in a way that made it easy for my mother to understand. She was patient and kind, repeating the information and thoroughly answering questions to make sure that my mother understood her options and was comfortable with her decision. My mother finally feels confident that her needs have been met: so very different from the aftermath of her dealings with the former firm, which left her extremely confused as to what she was being talked into doing. I feel better knowing that my mom's assets are protected should she need to access them for care and support as she ages. In addition, the office is warm and welcoming, everything was handled quickly and efficiently, and the cost for services rendered was not only well below what we had anticipated, but was *considerably* less than what the large firm had been billing (for subpar and even erroneous advice).

I did not know Jason Jones when we first started working together on my estate plan, but I have to say I instantly knew that I had made the correct choice of attorney. Plus, when I indicate that the two of us were "working together," it was very much the way throughout the entire journey - from very first introductory video chat all the way to the signing, witnessing, and notarizing of the documents. He spent countless hours with me working through every minute detail, and made suggestions how to achieve each desire of mine quite specifically. The peace I now feel of having all this in place is almost impossible to put into words, though I have tried to do my best here. I cannot recommend Jason Jones highly enough.

Outstanding Mobile Notary Service - Professional, Reliable, and Fast!…read more I had an urgent need for a mobile notary on a Sunday to finalize a commercial lease signing in Jackson Heights, and NOTARY & FAST POA absolutely delivered. From the first point of contact, Vagan Sadoian was incredibly responsive, clear, and professional--he made sure every detail was covered and that we felt confident the signing would go smoothly. But the real hero of the day was Dante, Vagan's colleague, who showed up right on time and handled everything with calm precision and a great attitude. Given the short notice and weekend timing, I was fully expecting delays or hiccups--but Dante came through in the clutch, prepared and focused. His professionalism helped move everything along quickly and made a potentially stressful situation feel effortless. I've worked with notaries before, but this was on another level--fast, friendly, and fully reliable. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend NOTARY & FAST POA to anyone in need of mobile notary services, especially for real estate or time-sensitive matters. Thanks again to Vagan and Dante for being

I spoke to an Attorney named Phil, and we discussed submitting a loan modification or possibly taking Litigation action against the mortgage company. There fee was $3600. I paid a deposit of $1200 for them to get started. All they did was call my mortgage company and then call me to tell me why my loan modification was denied. I already knew why it was denied so this was a waste of my time. Then they told me to go to court and just explain my situation to the judge. I requested a refund and they refused to refund my money. They did absolutely nothing to help me. This law firm is a fraud.

Mr. Russell Morgan is a competent attorney. However, he depends too much on delegation. It is…read moreperfectly fine for an attorney to assign legal drafting to a competent paralegal so long as whatever product that unlicensed legal professional produces is CAREFULLY reviewed by a licensed attorney. Furthermore, while a paralegal can certainly assist in legal research, they should not be the ones doing legal counseling. When a client calls the office with a substantive legal question, someone licensed to practice law needs to answer that question. Attorney Morgan's prices for estate planning are high compared to other similar firms in NYC - they are not unreasonable but on the higher end. Regardless of what you are paying for legal services, you should expect competent representation, but when you are spending a premium, you expect to see the value. At the very least, you should not wait months for straightforward legal documents to be produced, nor should you have to constantly chase down the attorney to keep the ball rolling. And no matter how high-end or low-end a law firm is, you should never receive a final document littered with errors. However, that is precisely the experience Mr. Morgan provided. We received a deed document transfer that had the wrong name listed, the wrong LLC listed (one that was not associate with us at all), and the wrong buyer attorney listed. And no, it is not as if they sent the wrong documents because the information was correct in some places. The issue is that Mr. Morgan delegated the drafting of the document to someone who did an incredibly sloppy job, and Mr. Morgan failed to review the document before having us sign it. Worse was that there was very little accountability. Yes, he apologized when the situation was brought to his attention, but then he proceeded to make numerous excuses, one being that the company he uses to draft the documents doesn't usually make mistakes like that. Even if that is accurate, and this is a rare mistake, he still obviously did not review the documents before having us sign and notarize them. If this was a review for the final approval situation, fair enough, though even then, it's not a great practice to send your client documents that haven't been proofread. But again, this was a notarized document with several glaring errors - unacceptable. I am sorry, but there is never an excuse for an attorney to produce delayed and sloppy work. I. do not care how busy your firm is, part of being in this profession is knowing how to manage your case load. You either need to hire more attorneys or accept less cases, but what you cannot do is send out legal documents that have not been reviewed. This was not only an unpleasant experience. I dare say it was incompetent to the point where I am seriously considering contacting the Bar.
