His consistent advice was that we choose fiduciaries that we completely trust, and he embodied his own advice by being trustworthy in the sense that he reviewed things we had not thought of (such as validity of the will when we are overseas) and really took our specific situation into account to make sure all our wishes were met, including type of burial. Most of all, Allen is extremely friendly and easy to talk to which is not the case with all lawyers. Thank you.

I hired Lugar Law of Roanoke, VA on May 4, 2020 to represent me in regards to a speeding ticket I…read morereceived in Roanoke County. At first I was pleased with their responsiveness and they quoted me a fee of $150.00 for them to represent me, which was considerably cheaper than other law firms that I had spoken to. I paid the fee and sent them a copy of my insurance verification and a copy of the ticket. At Cerid Lugar's instruction I had my speedometer calibrated and emailed the firm a copy of the results. They in turn sent me an email showing a letter that they sent to a judge, noting that my speedometer was inaccurate. I was content that the matter was being taken care of. On Friday, May 22, I received a call from the admin at Lugar law stating that they had erred, and that they thought the speeding ticket had been issued in Franklin County instead of Roanoke County. I found this to be a bit incredulous given that they had a copy of the speeding ticket and it states clearly in boldface red letters ROANOKE COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT. The admin advised that since the offence happened in Roanoke County instead of Franklin county, that the fee would be $700 instead of the $150, which I had already paid. I was shocked to say the least. I had spoken to a few other lawyers in the area and the average fee was $360.00 and if Lugar Law had stated that ballpark figure, I would not have been that dumbfounded but an increase of FIVE HUNDRED and FIFTY DOLLARS??? The admin stated she would talk to Cerid Lugar and see if she would consider a compromise given that I had already paid the fee and the ERROR was due to Lugar Law, but she called me back and stated that Cerid Lugar would not lower the fee. At no point did Cerid Lugar call me to offer any detailed explanation or apology. I FIRED the law firm on the spot and demanded a refund, advising I would seek representation elsewhere. The fact that Lugar Law made such an egregious error and the fact that they were unwilling to acknowledge or accept responsibility for that error speaks volumes to their unprofessionalism. Attorneys are supposed to act in their client's defense and a lot of trust is placed in them. Having that trust violated is a serious betrayal and what Lugar Law did to me felt like a SHAKEDOWN. If you are considering hiring them, I would advise you to FIND SOMEONE ELSE. Who knows how much they might SQUEEZE you for.

Never ask them to fight for you. Sword of Justice... not even close.

Generally, lawyers are ethically bound to keep client information confidential and should not…read morediscuss a client's case in public without their consent. This is a fundamental aspect of the attorney-client relationship and is crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring a fair legal process. Mr. Pilgreen is an egotistical tyrant who takes advantage of his clients by charging astronomical retainers for doing bare minimal work and then discusses their cases in detail on online forums without their consent. After escaping a domestic violence situation with nothing but a car and a 3 month old baby I filed for sole custody with the "help" of Mr. Pilgreen, who took a custody agreement draft that I wrote, slapped his letter head on it, added some verbiage and mailed it to the father, who signed it without any revisions. He never stepped foot in a court house. He never went to a hearing. He never made a phone call. We had ONE 25 minute long meeting in which he was arrogant and abrasive. And then he charged me $2500, saying "his name on the letterhead is what convinced the father to sign". You wish your name carried that much weight, sir. Hire anyone else in the Valley. Anyone.

We inquired about Mr…read more Pilgreen after searching vigorously for lawyers in the Roanoke area, (we were not from the area and the case was taking place within the city). Going based on word of mouth, this was the guy to help our unorthodox custody case. It should have been a sign when our initial meeting had never been scheduled and we only found this out the day of, after we traveled over an hour to get there. So we had to schedule a month out, again, time of the essence! The initial consultation seemed promising, however the price of representation being $3,500 was eye opening. We were under the assumption this was a retainer and the hours would be billed off this payment. We were wrong. Not only did we only have all of 45 minutes face to face with Mr Pilgreen before our hearing, he was almost an hour late to our meeting and walked us out early! 3 days we had before our court hearing, THE WEEKEND! We gave him everything possible to make our case and he ended up getting in an argument with the judge. We lost everything due to this representation. The final blow was when we called about our "retainer" to be told that was a flat fee for the first and only court hearing. If we wanted anymore time with him, it would "be an extra fee".
