Outstanding Legal Representation: A Review of Angel Hess…read more From our very first interaction, Angel proved to be exceptionally bright and straightforward, cutting through MANY years of prior legal work and getting to the bottom line of where I was in the process. She kept the process streamlined and moving forward which is exactly what I needed. Her time-consciousness is evident not only in her manner and billing but also in how she holds other parties accountable. She relentlessly--one might even say doggedly--pursues necessary communications, ensuring all timelines are met and creating a clear paper trail. Ultimately, Angel Hess is an incredibly effective lawyer. If you need a goal-oriented, persistent, savvy, and blunt advocate who values your time, Angel Hess should be your first call.

When I finally threatened to fire her she filed the paperwork I had supplied then proceeded to ignore me again. She ignored me for so long that my ex and I decided to muddle through on our own.

Save your money and go with someone else.

I got a return call the same day from his paralegal, Cami. She was very friendly and helpful. Cami suggested that I send Mike an e-mail. So I did.

We approached this attorney in order to: 1. Consult about a…read morecomplex Landlord - Tenant issue and to gain insight as to how to proceed. 2. Spend extensive time briefing the attorney (At hourly rate $$$) for preliminary familiarity with our situation so that he would be able to act at the when required. As for the first item, some of the advice provided was useful. However it appeared from these discussions that he lacks sufficient experience in more complex matters. He did agree that because he was now familiar with the case (At cost by the hour $$$) he would be ready when I called to proceed. When I contacted him two weeks later, and at the expected time line, made an excuse to avoid proceeding, after taking our money and time. These are the situations where it is easy to question why attorneys charge so much for so little in return.

My first impressions of this law firm were very good. Michael was very nice and helpful. He…read moreseemed to be very organized. Well, looks can be deceiving. I met with him to have a very simple will made. He took down my information and said that he'd have something for me to sign in a few days. A week passed without a call. I gave him a call and he said that he has been busy but would get around to it in the next few days. That was a month ago. I still have no will and never got a call. If this man is this unreliable and irresponsible when it comes to something as simple as a will, I shudder to think how he would handle something more serious. Maybe there's a perfectly good explanation for the delay, but *nothing* can excuse the fact that he didn't give me a call to let me know what's going on. Very unprofessional.

Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy as a business owner is one of the most stressful things I've ever…read morehad to face -- but working with Burl S. Polon made all the difference. From the very beginning, he was thorough, detail-oriented, and genuinely caring. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, answered all of my questions with patience, and made sure I truly understood what to expect. What stood out most was how well he prepared me for the call with the trustee. Because Mr. Polon was so thorough in his preparation, that call lasted only 5 minutes. That alone tells you everything you need to know about the quality of his work. I never felt like just another case on his desk. He was understanding, compassionate, and clearly invested in making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. He made something that felt overwhelming feel completely manageable. If you're considering a Chapter 7 or 11 BK and you need someone who is knowledgeable, efficient, and truly cares about his clients -- look no further. I highly recommend Burl S. Polon without any hesitation.
