Run, don't walk away from this firm…read more My ex-wife used this firm while we were going through our divorce. Our divorce was very amicable. We did not need to go to court or even to any kind of sit down with lawyers. Her and I basically ironed everything out ourselves. My ex decided she wanted a lawyer to make sure she did everything correctly. Choosing this place was a huge mistake that cost her a lot of money. This firm kept asking for more money to do this or that or anything that needed to be done. By the time it was all over, my ex had paid far, far more than what she thought she was going to pay. Does this show how amicable the divorce was? The first thing I am saying this place did wrong, was overcharge her, not me! When I was first contacted by this place, I was asked to upload a ton of financial information to a shared file site. I uploaded over 50 documents to the site the next day. About a month later I get a voicemail from them saying that they need these documents to proceed. The voicemail also said that they would like to be able to proceed without further litigation, which will be needed if I don't upload the documents. I called them and told them that the documents were uploaded a month ago. The lawyer checked and sure enough, the documents were there! Really? You didn't check first? You just left a message about taking me to court to get the documents you already have? Crazy! There was a lot of terrible communication like this while dealing with this firm. There was more than one occasion where they asked me for something they already had. There was one time that I received a call asking for something they said they asked for already. I checked all previous correspondence with them and had no record of them asking me for what they wanted. The communication was so bad that during one phone call I had finally had enough and told them that they need to get their act together and learn how to communicate with each other. I told them I was tired of them wasting my time. It was incredibly frustrating dealing with these people. My ex had the same issues with them. They are very unorganized and sloppy. I could go on and on, but this is already long enough. The one other thing I wanted to mention is how they shipped papers to me. They put no more that 20 pages of documents into boxes and shipped them. I will add pictures to this to show the boxes. They were crushed and reused boxes. Is this how you would expect a quality lawyer to ship documents? I couldn't believe it the first time it happened, then it happened again! I'm sure this place will post a response to this review, like they have with other negative reviews. There is nothing they can say to wash away the fact that they don't communicate with each other, are disorganized and not very well run. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a quality lawyer. Edit: As I knew would happen, this firm did post a reply. A pathetic one at that. I didn't ask you to address my review. I'm simply trying to alert others to your unorganized and unprofessional practices. If you cared for the environment, you wouldn't ship less than 20 pieces of paper in a box that could easily fit over a thousand pieces. I have zero plans to contact you to discuss anything. I am so grateful that I will never have to deal with your disorganized practice again!

I have worked with Jim on two different occasions, and each one was great. He filed my separation…read moreand divorce paperwork for me (back when he only did divorces), and even refiled paperwork with the judge at no cost to me, because he wanted to be sure the dates of my filing were correct (my case was extremely time-sensitive). Most recently, his new practice focuses on family estate planning, which is what he handled for me and my wife. Jim put together a family trust for us, a pour over will, powers of attorney, and advanced directives. Our family is now fully protected, and I thank Jim for that. He's very friendly and easy to talk to. He understands your needs and works with you to meet those needs. His fees were up front with zero surprises. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking at getting a will, or any other estate planning done.

Beware of this law firm! I signed on as a client for a few months and learned things the hard way -…read moreafter spending a few thousand dollars! The owner, Jim Hart, is all about marketing his business with internet blogs and mass emails. He effectively does so and exudes a sense of great knowledge and skills. But once he collects the retainer fee and the client signs on, he produces no results and drags on the process month after month. Communications to him were largely ignored but he's very quick to collect payments. Often, he charges the client all kinds of nonsense administrative fees. If these fees were ever questioned, then he'll charge additional fees for his response. The disruptive cycle drags on while very little attention is devoted to the actual case. It's this type of irresponsible and selfish practice that gives many lawyers a bad name.

They took advantage of the fact that this was my first time dealing with an estate. But they literally did absolutely nothing for me. All they did was make a couple of phone calls, file some paperwork. I MEAN EVERYTHING THAT THEY DID I COULD OF DID ON MY OWN. And they knew they won't doing nothing for me. But still racked up over 15k in charges for absolutely nothing. It was all during a pandemic so in my eyes they was trying to get all the money they could get out of me. They kepted believing wateva my father's wife was telling them instead of listening to their client. They just don't get you the best outcome. And to me they acted like this was their first rodeo. She sold all of my fathers personal items and that was NEVER brought up in court. Literally all I was asking for was my fathers grill that he made with his bare hands. And they couldn't even retrieve that for me. Literally all their work consistent of making phone calls and sending emails. THAT WAS IT!!! And they got 15k while I got absolutely nothing!!!! So if you looking for someone in your best interest please look elsewhere
