We had an inherited house that needed to be sold but one of three brothers was squatting and using…read morethe house as a safe house for his low life friends for 5 years. We approached Nick to see what we could do in January. He gave us an offer that all parties were happy with considering the circumstances and we moved forward. Needless to say said brothers squatter freinds did not want to adhere to the sale timeline. Nick with ultimate patience spent umpteen trips to the house negotiating and compeling the squatters to move on during the Covid crisis. Finally after offering funds to get people to fix their vehicles and make other arrangements and extending the closing date we finally closed the deal end of April. Without Nick's help and patience from Buck Buys Houses I'm afraid we still would have squatters at the house; as my other brother had been trying to evict for over a year. I totally endorse Nick as a miracle worker on a very tough sale.

I wanted to take a few minutes to review my experience with Christoph Kruger at Kruger…read moreArchitecture. Christoph was introduced to us by our General Contractor, Alex Schenkar. The reason Christoph deserves a five-star rating is not related to how he performed when things were going well, but rather how he performed when a disagreement about billing showed up. During our design-build project the scope of our project grew considerably. During this process I became upset with what I felt was a lack of transparency in how billable hours were being calculated and I took issue with this, to our GC and to Christoph. In many cases I believe because of the issue that was created it could have ended the relationship. Instead with no guarantee of resolution Christoph maintained his professionalism and calm, continued to complete our drawings set through permittal and has continued to contribute in a very positive manner to the projects ongoing success. Having resolved our issue is a satisfactory manner, Christoph has continue to perform on a highly technical project, including taking into account changes to design elements we want to incorporate on the fly. I would recommend Kruger Architecture highly to those who value a team member who remains calm when others are storming, who has an excellent knowledge of municipal restrictions and what "can be done" and also who works well with the GC is realizing the vision of a project. Thanks Christoph. - Tom and Katie

If I could give them a negative rating I would. My 81 year old mother went to them for advise on an…read moreeviction. They sent her home with a form to sign and return with a $5000 retainer. I flipped my lid and we contacted another attorney who did what we needed for $124.00 - my mother then receive a bill for over $400 for her 1.33 hour consultation. Buyer be ware - they are also working on another case for my family and it's already taking longer than expected as well. When I read the other person's comment about their probate experience I am seeing the same thing with ours.... My favorite is that Peter did a review for this law firm and he works there....now that's a joke.

Very Disappointed!!!! Going through a divorce is not easy…read moreand you expect to have a support from your lawyer. My lawyer Allen Dermody just went out on medical leave and guess what???? I found this out only after he left for medical leaving and I was totally abandoned by this firm! I paid 10k for my process that is still with them , but Chad and Les that should be taking care of my case, just don't care!!! If they are going to charge $300 per hour to ready and charge all the emails that I am sending asking to please reply to answer my questions, and also the numerous phone calls that Ieft with VM.... it will be terrible. They just want your money because you have 0 help. No sympathy from them. The reception woman called Sabrina is just too rude! I told it was an emergency and to her ask Les for the 2 time to make sure he calls me, and she told me that he has a client and would return my call maybe in 24hrs! THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY!!!! And if it was going to count 24 hours for a reply, I was in advantage, because I sent an email to Les with questions a week ago and NOTHING!!! They have my 10k for the deposit, but they are not helping me at all after Allen left and did even had the courtesy to notify me! Also tho this Sabrina! For someone that paid 10k for a service, I am pretty sure I am a client. Run from this place! They are so bad that I can even tell that the attorney from my ex is WAY BETTER!!!!! Run!!!!! Don't waste your money here!

Disappointed. I…read morerecently reached out to Carena McIlwain, an attorney at this firm. The person that took my call shared that Ms. Mcllwain would only have an initial call with me for $100, would need a $5,000 retainer for any follow-up and charge $300 an hour for time beyond the initial consultation. The call was strictly financial focused. My objective for an initial call was to validate if Ms. Mcllwain had the background to meet my needs, was interested in my case and to see if we were compatible. Ms. Mcllwain also reached out to me in a follow-up email stating that she needed to be paid even if we have a "meet and greet". I have worked with multiple attorneys and have never experienced such a money first approach. Other attorneys I have worked with have instilled confidence that they had a fiduciary duty to act for the benefit of their client. I was not under the impression from my initial contact with this firm that this was in their core values.
