This firm's attorney maintained an action against an individual to collect funds that the attorney…read morehad held in this firm's trust account for nearly two months. In addition, the attorney's client retained no right to the funds as of the day the attorney acknowledged receipt of the funds into that trust account. The attorney used the legal process to harass the individual for several weeks with a lawsuit his client had filed that sought collection of the very funds the attorney already had. Such conduct is unprofessional and an entirely unacceptable practice. The attorney dismissed his sham lawsuit 48 hours prior to the hearing date and of course didn't bother to alert the individual he was suing for another 24 hours--by which time the individual had filed a motion to defend and dismiss 24 hours prior to the hearing. The court clerk had not informed the individual that this attorney had dismissed the case. That the attorney had not promptly dismissed the lawsuit after accepting the very funds his lawsuit sought to collect is egregious. The attorney maintained a sham lawsuit for nearly 2 months and for this will face an attorney grievance investigation to be held accountable. The attorney is Demetrios G. Kaouris whose peer rating at AVVO is a miserable 2.9, bottom of that category. All the foregoing true facts are documented and retreivable by emailing a request to RalstonAuditors@aol.com.

Katherine Taylor is a true professional, displaying excellence in all facets of her field. She is…read morethorough, detailed, honest, and proficient. I had the pleasure of working with her. When she knew that the project started to become a very specialty service that she does not regularly work in, she was quick to let me know, with no time wasted, and even provided references for multiple other firms who could help! She practices ethically and responsibly. While I could not use her for my niche needs, I will DEFINITELY be needing her help for personal corporate advisory matters, as well as several other things in the future.

So I reached out to this office today to discuss a matter that I needed some guidance on…read more Unfortunately, they were not the right people to assist with my inquiry but Todd was so polite and even offered some guidance and things I need to ensure to do when dealing with the IRS and the tax court. I really appreciate him taking the time to return my call. His demeanor was pleasant and it was great talking with him! The great reviews are here for a reason! He was very polite and I'm sure super helpful, when he's able to be! THANK YOU!!!

I don't write reviews very often and if I do, they usually are negative but this review of Todd…read moreHeise is not the case and is absolutely warranted and deserving. I don't know where or how I stumbled across Todd but probably because of reviews like these that gave me the confirmation to go ahead and contact him for his services and I hope this review can help someone else in the future too. I don't know Todd on a personal level and I am embarrassed to say I don't even know what Todd looks like. All our interactions have been via email or over the phone and I typically prefer face-to-face meetings but Todd was extremely easy to work with and very responsive that I did not even need to meet the guy! Overall Todd is an extremely professional, courteous, and astounding guy. He is easy to work with, reasonable, and will get to the bottom of your case. He is experienced and has a wealth of knowledge and knows what he is talking about. He will not give you a run around answer or blow you off by any means. If you ever need a real estate lawyer, Todd is your man! For those who need additional details, I reached out to Todd via email for an initial consultation to see if he could provide his services to help me with my home purchase in Baltimore City. Being a first-time homebuyer, there are many things you don't know and you can easily be taken advantage of if you are not cautious and you don't have someone supporting you. The real estate law in Maryland can be tough and the contracts can be over 50+ pages! So I contacted Todd and asked him a few things and he responded within a few hours the same day/night (in the wee hours of the morning mind you) even though he was just coming back from vacation. Todd responded that he could and would and asked me to forward him the contract, without a single request for payment. I being a reasonable person understand that lawyers are a dime a dozen and they are not free so I asked for his cost and he told me his rates and how many hours he typically bills. We went back and forth a few times over email and he answered all my questions and was completely honest and fair. He then asked me to send over my contract before I signed it and he would review it for me. He reviewed the contract within a day and not only did he do all of that and more, he did not even charge me a single penny! He told me everything in the contract was standard and his services were not required in my situation and gave me a few pointers to move forward. I kept Todd in my contacts and I consulted him once or twice more along the way. He gave me excellent recommendations for inspectors and insurance agents and I used them and they were fabulous and just as easy and professional to work with. A couple of weeks before closing, Todd even reached back out to me and asked if I needed anything further for my purchase. We spoke over the phone this one time, and he was extremely helpful and listened to everything I asked and gave me suggestions. At this point I was completely shocked and thanked Todd tremendously. Lawyers are not cheap by any means and many won't even respond without establishing an attorney-client relationship first. Todd took it upon himself to help me and close all the loops without expecting anything in return. In addition, I learned from Facebook that Todd is also a great community guy and willing to help the people in the neighborhood. Todd works with realtors and insurance agents to provide workshops and information sessions for interested buyers, which is extremely great for new and inexperienced buyers. I'm sure Todd gets plenty of clients and does not need my referral or anything, but I want people to know what to expect and what they will be dealing with, and that is a wonderful and honest guy who goes the extra mile. Thanks Todd!

My wife and I needed an estate plan for our blended family. After using "fill-in the blank"…read moretemplates found on the Internet and those provided by Internet based companies, we decided to seek professional help - because we wanted to get it right. We talked to several high-priced law firms in the DC metro area. We met with the Arden Law Firm because of their reviews and flat-fee pricing. Cedulie explained in great detail the services they provided; what they needed from us; and what we could expect moving forward. She made us feel right at home and I felt very comfortable discussing our affairs with her. After our initial consultation, we met the other folks in the office. I was convinced they were the right firm for us because the price was right, and Cedulie and her staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. A short time after our initial working session with Tanisha, we received our draft estate planning documents. A few minor changes were requested and incorporated into the documents. In our final meeting, we went page-by-page through every document. I appreciate Tanisha's professionalism and patience as she helped us though the legal mumbo jumbo and the pros and cons of certain choices, we were unsure of, which helped us make final decisions. It was a pleasure working with Tanisha and the other staff members. The final deliverable far exceeded my expectations. Documents were contained in a beautifully organized leather bound three-ring binder. Everything in the binder was professionally produced and labeled. Where needed most, clearly written directives and instructions were provided for us the grantors/initial trustees, and for our beneficiaries (successor trustees). I am completely satisfied with our "Estate Planning Portfolio." I highly recommend the Arden Law Firm. You would be wise to use them for your estate planning needs.

When I spoke to the attorney she was very kind impatient while I explained my situation to her. She told me my options and was very honest with me. Based on our conversation, I made my decision and although I offered to pay her for a phone consultation, she was kind and said it was her pleasure. I don't know that very many attorneys would give so much advice over a phone call that they ultimately end up, not getting the client, but she put my needs above just making a dollar and I truly appreciated that. If you have any real estate related legal needs, I highly recommend you giving this law office a call. You will get exceptional service from a warm, knowledgeable, and very kind professional.
