I paid for a consultation with Elira Law Firm regarding a family law matter, and the experience was…read morehighly unprofessional and concerning. During the Zoom consultation, multiple attorneys unexpectedly joined the call and appeared to be competing over the consultation fee. The attorney assigned to me concealed his face on camera and had an unprofessional background setup. No meaningful legal advice was provided. Instead, the discussion focused almost entirely on demanding a retainer without explaining strategy, scope, or next steps. At one point, another attorney joined the call and openly criticized the firm, stating they were "all over the place." I escalated my concerns to management and was told nothing could be done because the consultation had technically been "provided," despite no advice being given. I then paid an additional fee to speak with management, only to find that they also lacked familiarity with key family law issues and provided inaccurate information that I had to correct. I was quoted a higher retainer and told it would likely be consumed before even entering court. When I asked to speak with or interview the attorney who would handle my case before paying a retainer, I was told this was not allowed. I was informed I would have to pay first and only afterward determine whether the attorney was competent or a good fit. A broader concern is the firm's retainer structure. Clients are required to pay thousands upfront, only to see those funds quickly exhausted through billing before meaningful litigation occurs. Attorney turnover then leads to reassignment and additional charges for internal transitions that are not the client's responsibility. Trust and transparency are essential in family law matters. Based on my experience and similar feedback from other clients, I cannot recommend this firm.

Truly blown away! I…read moreexpected the document legalization process to take about two months. Like most people, I assumed everything would move sequentially -- first the slow Department of Justice, then the Department of State, and finally the foreign embassy. What I didn't expect was that this provider would run parallel processes instead. They handled one set of documents through the full DOJ State Embassy chain while simultaneously moving another set directly from the Department of State to the embassy. Because of this proactive approach, I was able to submit my visa application more than 60 days earlier than planned. Exceptional value, clear communication, and a team that genuinely thinks ahead for their clients. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

Beyond Belief Incredible Attorney Who Cares and Works!…read more I found Carol through a referral to handle my military case. She stuck with me for a year through so many of my personal and legal ups and downs, my emotions and health issues because of what happened to me, and she is truly remarkable. To see her in action is tremendous! I've watched an entire room while Carol was presenting and she's so quick with information in terms of citing regulations on the spot against speculative and unsubstantiated remarks coming from the other side. Truly in awe of her abilities. She is more than just an incredible person, but a great attorney. She translated everything to me in plain English, went above and beyond to protect me legally/physically without charging me the extra tens of thousands of dollars she deserved for working long hours on my case, and of course, we received the judgement I needed in order for me to feel safe and try to live my life after trauma. Not trying to be dramatic, but to whomever is reading this, know that Carol is the person you want on your side. I initially approached another attorney (not at this firm) and he told me to "drop it," "don't pursue anything and move on." Carol never did that. She listened and believed in me. I unequivocally recommend Carol (Saroja and Daisy) as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Thompson post haste. Why? She is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me) often, as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues - even if based on first impression - is first-class. When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information - distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough with Carol and her team. She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically. Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone's situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Carol's representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What's more, if it matters, I have used five attorneys now, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like). Carol represented me in a sensitive matter. She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well. First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of "getting even". Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf. Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor. To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and "beat the case," Carol is who you should go with immediately. Highly, highly recommend Carol and her team. --Very Sincerely, Retired [and now safe] Air Force Veteran.

They sent a single letter, which raised the offer 50%, but had the lack of ethics to demand their take on the money she already had on the table. In effect they took every penny they could instead of doing the right thing, which is to take your cut on the dollars they actually brought to the table. My wife left this firm in the exact same economic position she entered it. They are shameless. Unknowledgeable. In a call with a partner who supposedly had 25 years experience, she didn't even realize my wife's claim was ineligible for federal EEOC complaint. A threshold issue. The case strategy was badly mismanaged from the beginning as a result. They tossed her case to several lawyers in their firm and none ever learned it. Unprepared. We were double billed and only when WE realized it did they modify the billing. They cannot even block and tackle nevertheless win a case. My advice: Hire a firm that fights FOR you, not fights you. We settled for worse terms than we otherwise would have because we were tired of fighting our own lawyers at Lescht. When you need a lawyer, you need them to fight for you. Lescht does not. Seriously, shoot me an email if you are considering hiring them.

I am someone that was making less than $50k a year before being wrongfully terminated. I was…read moreblessed with the awesome legal representation of Ms. Nekeisha Campbell. My case was against the Department of the Navy. Ms. Campbell stood toe to toe with Navy's "big wig" attorneys. (Office of the General Counsel) Opposing attorneys receive the perception that she is nonchalant. But if they make the mistake of not doing their homework and being ill prepared, she will make them regret sitting opposite. I was very pleased to witness her depose individuals. "Ms. Campbell showed up and showed out." My case was a success. If you need someone that will listen, respond to your questions, calls and e-mails and defend you like you are a millionaire, ask for Ms. Campbell. I can't say enough about her.
