In 2023, I reached out to the Abood Law Firm on behalf of the biological father of a foster child…read moremy husband and I had cared for most of her life. I was trying to help him gain custody due to prior abuse by the child's biological mother. I came into that first meeting overwhelmed--bringing years of documentation, emotional, and letting them know I would be taking on financial responsibility for their services. Jeff and Ari spent hours with me, carefully reviewing every detail and truly listening. Not long after, they made a decision that I will never forget: they took the case completely pro bono. At the time, I could hardly believe it. Looking back now, knowing the kind of men they are, it makes perfect sense. What meant even more was their level of commitment to the case. Over the course of 18-months, both Jeffrey and Ari personally attended every single court date. They didn't pass us off to junior staff--they showed up, every time. Even now, that still amazes me. Their dedication, compassion, and integrity are unlike anything I've ever experienced from a law firm. They didn't just take on a case--they changed a child's life. They won the case and worked out a situation that was even better than we could have hoped for. Without hesitation, they gave their time, expertise, and resources to help a little girl have a better future. To me, Jeff and Ari are nothing short of heroes and they are incredible attorneys! I can never repay what they did, but I hope they know how deeply grateful I am. I truly consider them like family now. If you are looking for a law firm led by people of integrity, compassion, and incredible dedication--this is it. I cannot recommend the Abood Law Firm highly enough. God bless you, Jeffrey and Ari.

My experience with Abood Law was disappointing overall. The first time I called, Jeff Abood…read moreanswered and was straight-up rude--definitely not what you expect when considering paying $5,000+. After payment, his tone changed, which just proves the saying "money talks." My actual attorney, Michael Anderson, was much better. He was polite, patient, communicative, and tried to understand my situation. I appreciated his professionalism. That said, the PPO case against me was dismissed--but only because I hadn't contacted the petitioner in 1.5 years. It was clear from the start that this case was going nowhere, yet I still wasted my money and time. The judge didn't even give my lawyer the chance to properly defend me against the false allegations. Compared to other firms I've worked with, like Julian J. Poota PLLC and Rabaa & Nachawati PLLC, my overall experience here was far less professional and reassuring. Attorney Anderson deserves credit, but my overall impression of Abood Law was not the best.

I am usually a positive person and rarely write a bad review. The information I am going to provide…read moreabout my case (case number 2023-518907-DM at Oakland county), handled by Mr Bernier can be verified on courtexplorer.oakgov.com I must first say that Mr Bernier is a very pleasant and respectful person, and used to always ask how I was doing. We kept good communications for the most part. My divorce was contested, mainly about parenting time, and when I interviewed Mr Bernier for the first time, I was very clear about my expectations to go to a trial not an arbitration, if an agreement can not be reached through mediations, and he agreed to represent me. I have a graduate degree and I have done extensive research about divorce before I spoke to him. I provided him with a USB and a binder that has all the exhibits and a written description of my position. Our first trial date was set 10/23/23, on 10/3/23, the opposing attorney filed 3 motions for spousal support, attorney fees and to exclude our witnesses and exhibits from trial. The opposing attorney indicated during the motion hearing, which anyone can watch at the media center in the county building, that he notified Mr Bernier about the motions over the phone and he served him the motion notice, and that he filed the motions because he never received our exhibits and witness list despite requesting them from Mr Bernier. The motions were heard by the judge and granted, since we weren't present, on 10/18/23. Mr Bernier, not only didn't answer the motions in writing and go to attend the hearing, but didn't even notify me about the motions till our scheduled meeting date to go over our trial strategy on 10/20/23. Since my attorney and I weren't present at the motions hearing; the judge postponed the trial date indicating that we weren't ready, despite being ready. When I met with Mr Bernier on 10/20/23 and for the following months, he kept insisting and pursuing me to go to arbitration, indicating that he agreed with the opposing attorney to do so, and the opposing attorney will let us use our exhibits and witnesses if we go to arbitration. I asked him to file the motion for reconsideration with the judge, and helped with the draft, but he filed on 11/07/23 a motion to compel discovery (discovery that I requested prior to hiring him) and asked the judge to allow us to use our exhibits in the motion, since the other party wasn't complaint with the discovery. Outside the court house, the opposing attorney indicated that we filed the wrong motion, and the judge will not hear the case of excluding our exhibits and witnesses in the motion to compel discovery, so Mr Bernier didn't have the motion heard by the judge. On 01/17/24, Mr Bernier filed a motion to compel discovery and a motion for relief from judgment (which I helped with the drafts), but he cancelled the motions on 01/23/24 WITHOUT consulting with me first. At that point, the due date to file any motion before our new court date was past. He told me again, that he reached another agreement with the opposing attorney to go to arbitration. I couldn't replace him at that point because the attorneys I contacted didn't want to take the case at that advanced point. I felt as if I was left without any options only to agree to arbitration, which took about 10 months from the point we all agreed to go to arbitration till we received the divorce judgment, and cost about 10,000$ for the arbitrator alone (rate 400$/hr) while the court would have been free, and I would have had the option to file an appeal if I deemed necessary (the grounds for filing an appeal to an arbitration award are extremely limited). There are other things that were missed by Mr Bernier and his staff, but I think I don't need to go into more details. I emailed Mr Bernier after I received an invitation from his office to write a review at the conclusion of my case, and asked him to explain to me why he ignored the first 3 motions, which led to my case being dragged way longer and cost way more money, but did not receive an answer.

I retained John Tatone a little over a year ago to assist with visitation for my mom due to my…read moresister having guardianship. After numerous court dates and almost $10K in unnecessary legal fees, I am became extremely dissatisfied with his ability to represent me. He continuously lied under oath. I started to become suspicious regarding what I was being told by John Tatone, therefore, I reached out to another attorney. She told me that John Tatone mislead and misinformed me regarding the guidelines of a conservator. After finding this out, I visited Tatone and asked him why was he untruthful. I paid my remaining balance and immediately asked him to file to withdraw as my attorney. After 3 phone calls, 2 emails and multiple visits from my husband to his office, he finally submitted the petition to withdraw (2 weeks later). I caution EVERYONE... Do NOT hire John Tatone for anything.... Not even to represent a dead dog.

I'm still perplexed by this, as I would have definitely blown if asked. I even told the officer at the station that I didn't recall them asking me to blow, and they drew blood anyway. That's Royal Oak for you. But none of that seemed to matter. Mr Johnson did the bare minimum to help me and he got paid. I only chose him because I got a letter in the mail from him suggesting I should use him as a lawyer. He's basically an ambulance chaser. I think would have done just as well with a court appointed attorney, if not better.

I ended up going with Roy and he got it dropped to Disturbing the Peace and a fine of $650 and the case was dropped, no Probation, no Advisement, I walked out clean. Now in 2025 I somehow got 5 tickets not exaggerating, go to MICourts n type my name Andre Babbie for proof of the cases.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Brent Jaffe and Jaffe Law Firm…read more I retained the firm expecting timely communication and diligent representation. Throughout my case, I experienced repeated communication issues, including unanswered phone calls and text messages when I needed updates and guidance. There were also occasions where I felt court dates and important case matters were not being handled with the level of attention I expected. As a result, I was left in a difficult position regarding my court matter and was unable to make arrangements that could have allowed me to spend Father's Day weekend and previously planned family time with my children. During an already stressful situation, I found the communication and attitude I received to be unprofessional and dismissive. My experience left me feeling unsupported and frustrated. I would encourage anyone considering this firm to carefully evaluate whether their communication style and level of client service meet your expectations.

At first the rate was $1700, then it went up to $1800 for his paperwork and stuffs which is understandable. Then again he charged me $300 for joint sponsor. He didn't even tell me before about this issue. Basically I was forced to pay this since I was in the middle of that case. Since my case was taking long, I was asking questions on every steps to make sure everything is alright. However, he barely reply my questions. He totally ignored my emails, messages. If I send 5 messages, I get one answer after a long period of time. Then one day, to my surprise this lawyer gave me a rude reply that I have never expected from him. That reply stops me sending message, email or any kind of further communication with them. He wrote: ""Dear Mr. Hasan: You have exceeded the number of questions allowed in your fee. You have made over 100 contacts with us. Many of your inquiries are not within the scope of our work and are unnecessary. If you going to go to USCIS website and make up questions, we are not prepared to answer them. Your case is being processed at a normal pace. All additional inquiries, questions, e-mails and phone calls will incur $20 charge each time (from now on). If you do not pay, we will withdraw from your case."" Well, he could tell me that in proper way. What kind of professionalism is that? Instead he threatened me with charging $20 for each message/email. He also threatened to withdraw the case. If you cannot answer/handle your client, you better change your profession. I paid you to answer my questions, understand? If I knew the process I would have been filed by my own. I wouldn't hire you. Then again when the case was approved he started to behave nicely. He texts and emails me almost everyday. At the end he begged me to give him a 5 star review. Unbelievable! You got this! This lawyer was good in the past but nowadays he became greedy, very poor at communication, take the case longer than expected. Find a better lawyer than him.
