    This was a worst service that my husband and I have ever had. We paid over $2000 over a year and a half ago for a trust to be done. The first person we talked to left the firm and then six month later we found out because another representative called us and told us that she had to do our application all over because the information was lost. Then just to get an appointment with an attorney we had to wait another three months. The appointment was scheduled in the beginning of November and we still had not received any paperwork. The said they sent the paperwork on November 7th to my husband and my email which waa after the appointment. When they called ua to cancel the appointment with the attorney on the same day that the appointment was can canceled. The representative said the the lady working on our case had left. Now two people working on our case left the firm and at that time we still didn't have any paperwork. Now in January 2024 I received an email statement that I had until February 9th to pay for the balance of the work. Up until today we have NEVER spoken to a LAWYER. I call ******* for three weeks and left messages and email and no one never call me back until February 14th after I requested that I get a refund and no longer wanted to deal with this company. *************** and said the money I paid was to retain the lawyer ($2,200) which we never meet. And they sent the paperwork and that was done was over $3,000 worth of work. ******* said we cannot receive our money back
