Upon receiving my settlement checks on one of them they took out nearly 50% of what I had received…read more Before, receiving the checks I had also sent Matt an email and even spoke with him by phone, he did not tell me that it would be 50% of the check amount. He was condescending stating he did not know the amounts/percentage tile , and for me to ask my tax preparer or accountant "which I had and the percentage tile they gave me for the check amount was a lot less rather than 50%." When I had arrived at the office to pick up the check all "Matt could say is that my check is in the normal range he sees when the employer deducts taxes out." So then he knew it would be nearly 50% they take out for taxes, so then why not just tell me that, instead of having me contact my tax preparer??? Why BOTHER having me contact my tax preparer in the first place? When I had picked up the check, he met with me in front of the receptionist desk being "Samantha Iglesias" which she was present I began asking him questions in front of Samantha that's when she started looking at me then looking back over at Matthew then at some point Matt and Samantha looked back at each due to my questions she then starting shaking her head. He just kept blowing off my question(s) when I had asked him, why did they take out so much? His response was... Well that just means you will receive back more money at the end of the year from IRS. My response is... "I DON'T receive money back from IRS no thanks to someone who committed TAX FRAUD in my name, using my social which explains why I don't receive tax refunds at the END of the YEAR! I'm sure your nosey receptionist Samantha, wouldn't have been looking at me then back looking over at Matt and meanwhile Matt at some point looked over back at her when she had shook her head. Nosey girl mind your business and stop listening to clients questions- I'm pretty sure if you had been victimized by tax fraud I'm pretty sure you'd be upset/disappointed too by the amount of taxes being deducted. Matt also was not much help on answering my questions about why none of the amounts matched from what he informed me to what my tax preparer stated "those amounts were ridiculously to HIGH and clear did not take out what I had been advised." "Had you would have ASKED me, why I was concerned with the amount of taxes being deducted in the first place!" I've also hired personal injury lawyer(s) and non of them have EVER handed me my checks in front of a receptionist less know spoke about my case in front of a receptionist the way Matt conducted himself. They've always either had me in their office or in their conference room for me to sign release and pick up checks and then hand them to me. Considering you no longer work for the employer I don't feel as though they're entitled to deduct taxes at especially for something they're AT-FAULT for even a "personal injury lawsuit for insurance purposes does not deduct taxes" I also, don't believe they are taking taxes out on every settlement for each client. Had they would have told me that UPFRONT and straightforward I probably wouldn't have SETTLED for the amount in which we agreed upon. I had also asked Matt Farnworth upon signing for the check(s) and had been receiving them at the receptionist front desk being "Samantha Iglesias" which felt almost like ganging up on someone to me it should not take 2 persons to have a client both sign for release and pickup of checks, handing the checks over to me, and asking the attorney Matt questions in front of the receptionist "Samantha Iglesias." The attitude, personality, and behavior of the receptionist really just killed the whole vibe. Aside from this they did work aggressively on my case, always responded to BOTH my emails and calls within a timely manner. They definitely fought the fight for me during mediation and filing and was always there for me by my side. Retained a high settlement! But between what Matt said about the deductions, your receptionist, & picking up and signing for the checks with the receptionist and talking in front of her to Matt was just an odd experience "I've never experienced that not even with a personal injury attorney." That was sloppy. Beware!

During an incredibly difficult situation, I interviewed about 15 different law firms who all wanted my case. I easily chose Risman & Risman because Jeffrey immediately came across as honest and a true expert in his field. Now that my case is closed, I can confirm that my instinct was right. What impressed me most was that everything played out exactly as Jeffrey said it would. There were no surprises, just steady, expert guidance. Every person I interacted with at the office matched that level of kindness and knowledge. If you want a lawyer who is honest, compassionate, and knows exactly what they are doing, call Risman & Risman

Alex gave me a call just a few hours later that evening, the office sent me an engagement letter the next day, I was going over my contract with Laura later that same week. Of course I reviewed the contracts myself, however I don't know what I don't know. On our phone appointment, Laura walked me through every paragraph to make sure I understood it all correctly and made sure to add in what I needed before sending a drafted revision. By the end, I was comfortable with what we drafted and I signed the contracts. I recently worked with her again, and the process was seamless. I had a very last minute opportunity and needed the contract reviewed quickly. I actually forgot to send her a copy of the contract ahead of time and sent it in minutes before our phone appointment. She was able to look it over anyway and we continued with our phone appointment as scheduled! We had our phone appointment on a Friday and she had the drafted revision back to me on Monday. I did not expect the turnaround to be so quick, but I am grateful that it was. The initial fee was $1200 I believe (I had 1 contract and a second smaller contract). It would've been a bit less if only had the one contract to go over. The second time I was given a discount as a returning client, around $800. Worth every penny in my opinion. All of my communication with Granovsky & Sundaresh has been pleasant and efficient. I'd absolutely recommend working with Laura. She's personable, friendly, and quick to respond.

A version I was not requested to write by someone else, but felt compelled and comfortable enough to finally write from within and on my own for the public to see and for others who can relate with similar public 1 star reviews publicly shown and both visible and viewable to see. Currently 1 of 10 others. As a PROUD, Non-Binary and Homosexual member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am writing to alert the both public and my community of my personal experience with the Bell Law Group. My representation throughout what would have been a two year contract; before I fired the firm For Cause, was met with a sudden and unprofessional lack of continuity that felt particularly egregious given my status as a protected individual during a period of medical, transitional, and overall life changing instability for nearly two years. I've since officially escalated this matter to the Attorney Grievance Committee, as well as the Mayor's and Governor's offices, to ensure accountability for what I characterize as an abandonment of professional duty, collectively. I have since secured superior counsel and am addressing all matters related overall, but I URGE others; especially those in protected classes (LGBTQIA+) to be wary of the potential for instability and disregard at this firm. This review is based upon my specific experience and factual experience with the firm and specific to my legal matters in particular through its representation from 2024-2026.
