  The firm was extremely quick with their responses, professional, and kind. I had the pleasure of having Max Walko as my lawyer and he was nothing but empathetic, hardworking, and intelligent. He helped me win my case and I am deeply appreciative of him and everyone at this firm. Highly recommend their services.

  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.
