Disappointing Experience at the Law Firm
The reviews of this law firm are overwhelmingly negative, with three out of three reviewers giving the firm a rating of one star. The reviews highlight a pattern of poor communication, unprofessionalism, and mistakes.
Communication Issues
One reviewer, Tabitha Baker, reported that the law firm contradicted themselves after confirming they would take on her case, leading to a lost case. Chris P. also highlighted poor communication, stating that the firm's communicators were "horrible" and that the attorney, Ray Shockley, brushed off concerns about poor service and mistakes.
Professionalism and Rudeness
Jen I. had a particularly unpleasant experience with the receptionist, who was rude and made her never want to work with the group. This lack of professionalism sets a negative tone for potential clients.
