I found them to be extremely knowledgable, professional, and helpful. I wish I had used them when I bought the property originally; that lawyer was one of the worst I ever worked with and made so many mistakes that she refused to do anything other than merely acknowledge she'd dropped the ball...numerous times. I digress... I highly recommend Peet Law Group for all your real estate legal needs.

Attorney Paul Morwood represented me in traffic court today. After reading the Vermont laws I…read morewasn't entirely sure I was innocent or not, but Mr. Morwood told me not to worry. Well it turns out I was NOT guilty according to the written law. Not only was I surprised, but so was the officer and Judge! My traffic citation was tossed out, and the officer was not too pleased. But I'm pleased because justice was served! There are two lessons I learned today: Not all DMV law enforcement officers know or understand the written law, and to call Attorney Paul Morwood if I get another traffic citation. Thank you very much Mr. Morwood, -Angelo

My wife and I recently purchased our first home, and hired Coombs & Davis as our closing attorneys…read more We paid them a significant fee for this service. Part of their service involved transferring our closing funds from our bank account and having them available at the closing. Unfortunately, the lawyer who was supposed to perform this transfer was on vacation, and they had brought in a substitute from another firm who was unfamiliar with the process. When my wife arrived for the closing, this lawyer told her that it was her (my wife's) responsibility to provide a certified check, and that she had 30 minutes to run to the bank to obtain one or else the purchase would be in danger of cancellation. She drove frantically to the bank, obtained a check, and ran into our mortgage specialist, who confirmed that it had actually been Coombs & Davis's responsibility to transfer the funds. (He told me later via email that he was "irritated" at their oversight.) My wife returned to Coombs & Davis with the check, and informed the substitute lawyer what the mortgage specialist had said. He neither admitted his mistake nor apologized. I contacted the firm shortly afterward, politely requesting that they reimburse part of our fees since they had not provided all of the services for which we had hired them. I received an email from Fred Coombs admitting the mistake, and blaming it on the substitute lawyer, but refusing any reimbursement. He told me, and I quote directly from his email, "The attorney covering for us while we were on vacation was unaware of [your bank's] transfer policy." Based on this experience, I cannot recommend these attorneys. I'm really surprised that they think this is an acceptable way to do business.

My husband and I have full custody of his son. However we seeked out the help of Robert Backus to…read morefight for supervises visits while the child was in the care of his biological mother due to safety concerns. Robert is a very nice man. However his attorney services were so poor my husband and I could cry. Throughout the course of it all I sent him every photo, document, and supplied him with all of the information he would need for court. Yet were charged hundreds of dollars for him just to receive and view the photos (which he MESSED up several times in court). My mom and husbands father were testifying to things they had seen. Rob told us in a meeting he'd reach out to both of them to consult. He never did AND as they were on the stand he asked my mom the question he was supposed to ask his father. Another time the judge asked if there was any abuse (THE REASON WE WERE IN COURT) and I'm on the stand shaking my head yes to Rob and he says nothing further and sits down. He seemed preoccupied, unfocused, and unorganized the ENTIRE time. When we got the bill it was so disappointing. We made it VERY CLEAR during our initial meeting that if we were to come close to reaching our retainer max that we be told and made aware so that we could decide whether to hold off or try to come up with more money. Well after court was done the secretary, Alexandra, informed me we owed an additional $1,500. I was so frustrated. I was being charged hundreds and hundreds of dollars for Rob to email me a few times to organize a meeting and for him to call the Sheriffs Dept to check the status of a serving. While "politically correct" the secretary was unhelpful and brushed off my concerns. She's probably have been a better lawyer for us. I will never use Rob, this office nor recommend them to ANYONE.

I hired Rob Backus to battle an unlawful traffic violation. He knew it was bogus from the start and…read moreI suspected so as well. The judge quickly threw the case out once we had a hearing because of his extensive knowledge and expertise in this matter. He made a very good case. He was very kind, helpful, and confident and quickly got back to me when I had questions or concerns. I had plenty of questions and concerns and his replies were right to the point with comforting overtones which really helped my state of mind in these challenging times. Life is hard enough without having to worry about police injustice so it's good to know someone will go to bat for you when injustice strikes. He was also reasonably priced which just puts the icing on the cake. I would certainly hire him again if I ever had to!
