From 4 stars to 2 - an EVICTION "process"…read more We had okay dealings with this firm some four years ago buying two properties. The cases advanced well and there were few problems with communications. Services we got dealing with troubling tenant mostly last year were on the contrary were often sub-standard. What was supposed to be some 2-3 months process was a mess of over 7 months(!) too much of it linked to lack of proper follow through and procedures by this firm. Some things to consider (as with any law firm): RETAINERS: You may want to try to resolve issues with a lawyer that does less packaging and more acting as advocate to solve your problems more quickly and lightly. Be sure a retainer serves your purposes and benefit. COMMUNICATION (plus DELAYS): We were not communicated in detail about the case nor was first notice served to tenant for well over a month..(!) Communicating with civil servants can't always be easy but a highly paid attorney must be on top of it. The law firm must be proactive to shorten the case where possible. PROFESSIONALISM: Most real estate lawyers probably know the standard procedures pretty well, but an eviction is tricky and mistakes can make it even longer, costlier and more nerve wrecking. A good lawyer accepts responsibility for your case and its timely and expert execution. DOCUMENTS: Your lawyer must provide you and other parties with proper kind (and quantity) of documents. Almost a year into this we are still waiting for one to start debt collecting efforts. Alas, in this torturous "process" we lost most of our regular income, nearly $10,000 in lawyer's fees and peace of mind - at the worst possible time with severe illness in family. MY ADVISE: Know exactly what you need (try to solve issues without a lawyer - negotiate with you tenant directly and openly, and if unsuccessful learn how to SERVE notice of missed rent in NY before bringing any lawyer to the scene - really try to get to an agreement with tenant yourself). If needed choose your lawyer vary carefully and still remain on top of your case at all times. And good luck.

As per the other reviews my advice is to stay away from Ann Fox. She may be good and I thought she…read morewould represent me, but she then put at least 2 new attorneys to work on my case each billing me for their time familiarizing themselves with it. Cost came out triple to estimated costs. I had to dispute the charges, some of which she took off later, but so disappointing and what a racket! Make sure if you sign with her that she does not pass the case on to anyone else.

What really stood out to to me the most was that Brian understood my financial limits, remembered all the small details of my case even when I would forget myself, he could speak on my behalf because he knew how i would want to answer or respond, and he always confirmed all letters, pleadings, and game plans before moving forward.

What kind of employee tells a class client that they are irritating her after being questioned why she was making disrespectful quips under her breath. So sorry for disturbing you by asking a few questions about the timing. The appropriate response is not what you've seen with other car manufacturers but what the reality is with BMW. Liz proceeded to hang up on me when I questioned what other auto manufacturers have to do with this claim. If this were my firm I would release her back in to the community to find a job in something she is more skilled in. Customer service is important and Liz falls well short of any an all measures.
