Hired Attorney Robert D. Simpson

Mr Simpson did an amazing job. From the start he treated me better than any lawyer that I have dealt with ever has. He is very knowledgeable and communicated realistic expectations about my case with me. I would recommend Mr Simpson to anyone

Hired Attorney Leslie E. Finnegan

Terrible service, unresponsive, no follow up , I paid her $3000 up front, to do a simple trust, she was no help at all, I suggest hardworking senior citizens , family men who care about their loved ones , stay away from Leslie Finnegan and the firm she works for, unless you want an attorney who is uncaring , insensitive and unresponsive in estate and trust matters

Hired Law Firm

This firm strikes me as a bunch of ambulance chasers, I paid their staff member , Leslie Finnegan $3000 up front to draw up a simple trust, about 6 months later I needed to make a few changes and asked Finnegan what I needed to do to effect the changes, I was of course happy to pay for any updates, as soon as I made my request she dropped me as a client, I am a senior citizen family man and wanted to take care of my family after my passing, but no follow up questions allowed under any circumstances, I guess Finnegan figured she already had my money for less than 6 hours work (by her own hourly rate calculations) and no need to follow up. I would not recommend Leslie Finnegan or this firm at all , they are terrible.
