  Riley Williams and the staff at this firm are top notch. Riley is amazing and incredibly helpful. Riley did everything she said she would do. She helped me settle my parents estate, and helped me navigate thru things as my parents were passing, she helped me get thru the worst, hardest chapter of my life and made things easy for me as she walked me thru things step by step. She was so incredibly helpful with everything. I would highly recommend any one trying to figure out how to settle an estate to contact this firm , ask for Riley, there was nothing she didn't know how to do ! She had me covered every step of the way and I appreciate her help and everyone in the office that helped me. Thank you Riley and Hickman and Lowder! Duke M.

  Was referred to this law firm by another law firm. I was trying to close on a house of my grandmothers when she has Medicaid. I called before our meeting to confirm they can help and was told by Ryan the office manager he was pretty sure they can help. With talking to the lawyer she said they can’t. They took my payment of $300. Not only was she dismissive but she offered no solutions or answers to try to help. She didn’t even refer me to someone who could help. I wouldn’t recommend these people.

  Terrible service. Terrible communication. Terrible advice. Terrible treatment to the client who is paying them. Terribly unorganized. They do not answer client questions. They do not listen to what the client is telling them. Speaking to them is like talking to a brick wall and then being charged for it. They do not read notes associated with your case. They are not accountable for anything. They point fingers at other people. They want to give in and cater to the client from opposing counsel instead. Immediately tells you to "let the house/property go, it's better that way" because it's easier for them. Does not support client or stand up for what is right. Does not explain things as they should be explained to the client. Very disrespectful to the client. Lawyers here talk to their clients like they talk to opposing counsel. Then when you point out some of these things they do nothing to rectify the situation. Extremely unprofessional. Janet Lowder, Ethan Welch, Margaret Maurer and Ryan have been rotten to work with. They just flat out DO NOT CARE. They brag about how much experience they have, yet sit back and do nothing but collect a paycheck. Do not work with this company or these people. Avoid them at all costs. They do NOT work for their clients and do not have the clients' best interests in mind. I should call the Better Business Bureau as well as the Cleveland Bar Association to file a grievance with the Certified Grievance Committee. Based on my experience, I will NEVER recommend this firm to anyone and I will share my horror story with everyone looking for estate attorneys. Best lawyers my behind. Despite your canned response below, clear and timely communication is NOT something you strive for as nobody has reached out to me and you will not answer my calls. You do NOT care about my case or situation, and do not want to right any wrongs that you have created. I am filing a grievance against you now ..
