Andrew, Merritt, Reilly & Smith, LLP Pro

I am a client of Steven Reilly; I chose Mr. Reilly because he is very thorough and detail-oriented. I have used him twice. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Both times, I was pleased with the final outcome of the cases.

Michael Todd Smith; Support weak, and ineffective lawyers in his firm. While I can not speak to Mr. Smith's legal strengths or weaknesses, I do know that he will "cover" for mistakes and errors of other Probate attorneys in his Law Firm. This critical flaw is a negative mark on Mr. Smith's record.

He is arrogant.

Ms. Hillary Cranford, Esquire: Horrible attorney! As Gwinnett County Administrator she made huge mistakes at every step of my Father's simple Estate. Hard to understand how she keeps her job. Only works a limited schedule. Has bi-polar tendencies. Completely incompetent at tracking the important timing issue in an Estate.

Working with this lady have been so stressful and depressing. She is supposed to be the executive of my brother's estate.he passed away last January and I haven't been able to speak with anyone this year. I've left messages and no one has returned my calls. I'm scared that she have just disappeared. And after reading the reviews I really don't know what to think.i would not recommend her to anyone.

This woman was court appointed to oversee my dad's estate. She did a very poor job if ant at all. She WILL NOT communicate with you! She basically allowed my inheritance to be stolen from me. Stay far away. She should not be holding the position she's in. Can't say enough bad things about her.

Ms Grant was not helpful, call not returned and updates were promised but were not received. She seemed unprepared and could not provide any insightful information when pressed for details. Very disappointed.

HILLARY CRANFORD IS AN AWFUL ATTORNEY. Hillary Cranford was appointed as temporary administrator of my brother's estate when he passed. She did nothing to protect his estate. My brother's estate included 14 rental properties. When I was finally appointed executor of my brother's estate I discovered in her 12+ months as a temporary administrator she made ABSOLUTELY NO ATTEMPT to collect rent. Over $81,000 in rent for occupied units went uncollected. Vacant units were left unsecured... found the front door wide open on two units. I had to evict seven tenants. She let the property insurance lapse. She refused to respond to maintenance requests from tenants. His van with two payments remaking was almost repossessed. Run if you see the woman.

Unbelievably condescending and only answers questions SHE deems important. We had to contact her partner, Hilary Cranford, to complain in order to get her to actually do any work. After months of aggravating and frankly rude emails from her saying she had been checking up on an estate set up, we contacted the County Probate office ourself and figured out that she had NOT been following up and that there was something that needed to be done in order to push the estate forward. Only after contacting Ms. Cranford again was anything done and then, miraclously, the estate was finalized. Ms. Grant sent her appalling invoice for services IMMEDIATELY without any sort of consideration for her dreadful service and her lies. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM.
