What recent reviews say

The firm delivers strong results for satisfied clients who praise attorneys like James Doyle, Rich Weinman, and Lionel for their expertise and responsiveness. However, a handful of reviews document serious communication breakdowns and claims of unprofessional behavior by specific attorneys, raising concerns about consistency across the practice.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
