All the negative comments here are real !! This place is fake. They will ask illegal questions to make you uncomfortable to flip out. Then accuse you being rude. And deny your case. Very classic old trick. They only waste your time Took us three weeks to realize it. They will tell you that their employees are having medical issues due the delay. All the legal excuses but not do the job. Stay away from them! $0 dollar income they will tell you not qualified or some income they will reject you being rich. No idea who pay them to be there working.

I called hoping to get advice but as soon as I answered she hung up. I called back and she answered with an attitude and told me no we don't do that here. This is an edit after 4 years and seen that staff are being petty so of you have any issues please file a complaint with any or all options in the photo have a great day.
Please tell Victoria I no longer need your services I can’t get through it impossible nobody picks up so as of 3/31/26 I no longer need your services. Thank you for nothing. The worst place ever you should be reported. Do not call me again. Don’t think I need your help thank you Victoria i don’t know your last name. Throw everything away that I sent you.
They are dishonest and give you the runaround. There are some lawyers who actually help but many who do not and then try to say their unethical behavior is your fault. If its family law or DV do not use them.
Poor experience. I reached out for help regarding a case, and they asked me for all the information. After a month of back and forth, answering questions and sending them paperwork they tell me that my income bracket is too high and they can’t help me. Would be nice if they told me that at the beginning…
