total rip off, I had an attorney Shawn Walker take my case and told me he had a lot of experience in probate and it would take around $3000 to get this will accepted. He wrote one executor of estate objection and one modification to it. He meet with me twice for less than 2 hours and 3 phone calls. He then went to court one day where nothing happened because the other attorney postponed the court case, he then said he didn't have the experience for this and wanted to bring on other attorneys in his firm. He even recommended I find another attorney somewhere else because his firm is expensive and that he is on Salary and gets paid weather he does work or not . He gave me a bill of $5300 then said I have to have him to continue in court and everyone else is to busy to take this case. He then wanted a $7000 retainer when he first said it could come out of the estate, Because he said I would have a hard time finding another attorney because of the short time period I agreed to pay the retainer if he promised to meet me with his new attorney at his firm first before he did any work. So I could provide all of the evidence so they could properly proceed. I signed the fee agreement on Friday Feb 7th and asked him to not do any work until we meet. on Monday 3 days later over a weekend I told him it was to expensive I have plenty of evidence and don't feel I even need representation, and would like the retainer back. Now he emailed that he is only refunding 4146, how could he spend $2854 when agreed if he wouldn't use that money until we meet which we didn't. I felt from the beginning that this guy is a crook now I know. I will be forwarding this to all avenues of better business until they refund the retainer he agreed not to use until we meet.

Great trust and estate attorneys! 15/10 do recommend!

The front office staff was very helpful. Great overall office moral. I worked with Julian Mars directly, he was very nice, respectful, and his work was very detailed. I would recommend this firm to anyone who desires a reputable attorney to handle their legal matters.

I just want to say publicly thank you for the work and help. The firm was able to help me trough a big mess and was very informative and helpful.nnI never felt they did something without asking me about it or showing me what they were doing. I worked with them for a year so please take my review seriously.

I am not sure what some of these unfortunate reviews are about, I have found this firm to be one of the best. Our relationship with Murray Petitt was all we expected and more.
