My original Google review below (posted 2 years ago) was attacked by Grant Herrmann Schwartz & Klinger LLP in a lawsuit. Representing myself, I faced an order to show cause from the firm seeking to "immediately and permanently remove his Google Review".
The dispute described below could not be resolved amicably. Instead, it was left to the court to decide—and the court ruled in my favor.
I eventually recovered the value of the retainer deposit in dispute, along with a portion of the costs I incurred during the process. Case closed.

My wife and I found that the representation we got from Grant Herrmann Schwartz & Klinger LLP was unreliable, and the firm hard to work with.
The attorney working with us was great but departed the firm abruptly. And the firm did not bother to inform us of that in a timely manner, which we consider reckless for a law firm. It's impossible for us to trust a firm after such a thing.
We found out about that at a critical moment of the representation, so we had to retain a new firm in a hurry.
The firm then refused to return the balance of the retainer deposit, presenting us with a bill, that we consider bogus, several months after the billing date and only after we requested our refund.
Bryan Goldstein and Jessica Friedrich are both of the most amazing professional and warm people I have dealt in this field.
Always responsive, supportive but honest and straightforward. I have very bad experiences in the past and they literally rescue me for the bottom of the sea, legally speaking. Highly recommend both of them
Gregory Cayne and Kiera Sullivan were extremely helpful. I had a very complex sale mixed with a litigation and a nasty coop. They kept working with me until the end in a professional and supportive manner.
