I am sharing my personal experience with this law firm so that prospective clients can make an informed decision before retaining its services.
I retained the firm in connection with the sale of my late mother's property. My understanding was that the real estate closing would be handled for a flat fee of $2,000.
During the representation, I signed an additional agreement at the courthouse. However, I maintain that the additional hourly billing arrangement and its financial consequences were not adequately explained to me. I did not understand that I could incur substantial additional attorney fees beyond the original arrangement.
I was also dissatisfied with the communication surrounding the billing process. I believe clients should receive timely invoices, clear explanations of additional charges, and an opportunity to understand their financial obligations before those charges accumulate.
The firm ultimately sought $6,623.75 in attorney fees, which I disputed. The matter proceeded to attorney-client fee arbitration, and on September 30, 2026, the arbitrator awarded the firm $3,622.50.
Although the arbitrator reduced the amount claimed, I remain dissatisfied with how the fee arrangements and billing were handled. I have decided to satisfy the arbitration award, but that decision does not change my concerns about my experience.
Hiring an attorney requires trust, transparency, and clear communication. Based on my experience, I strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to carefully review every retainer agreement, request written explanations of any changes to the fee structure, and insist on regular, itemized billing statements.
I am sharing this review because I believe prospective clients deserve to understand the importance of these issues before entering into an attorney-client relationship.
My experience with this firm was disappointing, and I would not choose to retain its services again.
The firm help me to retrieve my deposit of $34,000.00, which was being held in escrow by the seller’s attorney. Through no fault of mine, the purchase of a Coop did not work out and they tried to keep the deposit claiming “breach of contract “. The firm, specifically Attorney John Scherer, expeditiously litigated the case and my deposit was returned. I would highly recommend the firm. Special thanks to...
