I worked on my mother's estate with Bousquet Holstein's attorney Emilee and her paralegal Peg…read more They were able to open the estate and have me named executor. However, from that point onward, there were problems with responsiveness to questions and the accuracy of the legal guidance provided. Emilee was very slow to respond to emails and was almost unreachable by phone without an appointment. She seldom provided timely answers to questions, and as a result, most of my interactions were with Peg. Unfortunately, Peg's advice was unreliable. Repeatedly, I found myself, as the client, in the position of having to research legal issues on my own and correct the erroneous advice of Peg, whom I was paying $275 per hour to work on the estate. To say this state of affairs was disappointing would be a dramatic understatement. Peg once prepared for my signature a letter to a financial institution that would have resulted in the distribution of my mother's assets in a manner wildly inconsistent with what we were trying to achieve, if I had not caught and corrected her error myself. Another time, she completed a tax form so inaccurately that many lines were incorrect by double digit percentages. Had I not recognized and corrected those errors as well, I can only imagine what the consequences may have been. Finally, I asked to work with a paralegal other than Peg, and an attorney other than Emilee, who is apparently leaving the firm. In response, I was told by David, a managing partner at Bousquet Holstein, that the firm was terminating its representation entirely. No explanation was given. All phone calls went unreturned. I am now in the position of having to work on my mother's estate with another firm, whose employees will need to be brought up to date at the cost of great time and expense. I have worked with several law firms over the years, and I can say without reservation that Bousquet Holstein is the worst of them. It is hard to imagine a more unpleasant, and less productive experience. The contempt with which I have been treated, as not only a client of the firm, but a son who recently lost his mother, is truly shocking.

If they didnt have time to investigate, I would of happliy did some looking up myself due to how important this issue was if i knew what section of law to start. Mostly it was how the person reading things interpret information. I felt in the end that my issue wasn't important enough, and was no further ahead when I called. Disappointed, because the issue remains unresolved.

But as the days grew closer, I started questioning myself as to if I would be able to win my case alone. I then decided it would be best if I'd hire a lawyer. I came across Leticia's name - along with many other lawyers - , but seen that she did FREE CONSULTATIONS, i called her right away. I met with Leticia on a Friday, told her my situation and let her know my hearing was only a couple days away. After speaking to her for about an hour, she gave me the confidence that everything would be alright and just to stay positive. I knew then, she would be the perfect lawyer for my case. She spent the rest of her Friday evening and her whole weekend reviewing and preparing my case (who would ruin their whole weekend just for me?? Leticia did!). When the hearing day finally came, we walked out of the court room with flying colors. Leticia did a great job, she knew exactly what she was doing and knew exactly what she was saying. Leticia Astacio is the BEST LAWYER EVER!! I would definitely recommend her to EVERYONE I know.
