Hired Attorney Virginia Haizlip

Ms. Haizlip helped me in my custody and divorce case. She is the best attorney one can dream of. Before her I had worked with two other attorney's but Virginia understood my issues and found the best possible scenario. If you need a divorce or family law attorney look no further.. I am indebted to her for her great service to my children.

Hired Attorney Lawrence McClafferty

We had a great experience working with Mr. McClafferty. Mr. McClafferty got into every little detail of our case, and presented the matter in a truly professional way. We were appealing several violation notices that our HOA’s Architectural Committee sent us regarding our property. Mr. submitted a letter of appeal on our behalf to the Board. We won both cases.

McCandlish & Lillard recovered roughly $12,000 of an $18,000 deposit paid to a very questionable roofing company. I never would have recovered any of this money without a really good lawyer, and McCandlish
Lillard is it.

He has had all elements of good lawyers( knowledge, commitment and responsibility etc. Most of all he maintained high standard of ethical and spiritual professionalism during whole process of my trial, in addition to his all other qualities.

I ADMIRE AND APPRECIATE MR. PRICE FOR HIS HONESTY, KINDNESS, KNOWLEDGEABLE RESPECT FOR A CLIENT AND THE COURT SYSTEM. I CAN COUNT ON HIM TO BE PRACTICAL, HELPFUL, CONSTRUCTIVE WITH HIS SUGGESTIONS. I TRUST MR. PRICE 100%. I WOULD NEVER GO TO ANOTHER ATTORNEY.

Hired Attorney Melinda Merk

Her trust documents are written to protect the corporate trustee and not the client. Beneficiary language needs to be rewritten as it’s written incorrectly and she’s not willing to update it so easily. You need to read the beneficiary language a zillion times to understand that if your siblings die with no children then the money skips you and goes to your children. I’d request simplistic language and understand she wants to quickly sell you the template and move on as fast as possible.

As other reviewers have posted they take FOREVER to respond to emails! WEEKS! I was told TWO MONTHS ago to expect in one week some important documents to sign and two months later i can't get them to reply why i haven't received them. I also spent two weeks and numerous emails to receive a reply to the simple question, "Did he sign the document?". Simple yes or no questions taking literally WEEKS to respond to. Ridiculous.

Hired Attorney Lawrence McClafferty

I can give you a number of reasons to avoid Lawrence. Communication skills were terrible. He regularly did not communicate with us, return emails, follow up when he said he would or return phone calls. Throughout he seemed to show little interest in our case. He made a number of recommendations, but nearly every one cost us financially or strategically. He failed to argue a fundamental aspect of our case which was critical to us losing. He was recommended to us by a different attorney at his firm, but I cannot make the same recommendation.
