I attended an online free webinar style zoom information session regarding estate planning. They offered 8 free consults. I accepted one of those.
I chose to have a zoom meeting initially and things went smoothly over all with a person in the office that is collecting information. I was set up for a second zoom meeting but was required to pay a $1500 retainer and also 100% refundable if I decided not to use their services.
The day of the appointment I was not sent a zoom link for the appointment and called around frantically trying to talk with a person to find out how to talk to the attorney. It was finally figured out later than the appointment was supposed to start.
After having the appointment, which was informative, my husband and I decided to not go with the company. I sent the law office an email that day stating I would like a refund with no response at all. I called a number again and spoke with a different person that informed me that we would have to have an appointment again with the attorney before the refund would be made.
Today, 01/23/2023, we did not hear from the attorney at all as was scheduled by him or the person I had spoken with the week prior for another time frame. I am not pleased with the communication process of the office and am even more dissatisfied of having to repeatedly call for a refund.
If I had known how difficult that would be, I would not have had the consult in the first place.

Constituent paid $8000.00 to Jarvis Law Office to draw up a trust on 6/14/2021. Once he got home and flipped through the document he noticed some mistakes. He has reached out to them 4 times to have the mistakes corrected. They state they will fix the mistakes and mail the corrected trust to him.Business Response
