They took their time to understand my case and tried helping me settle things amicably but when things went south, they got serious.

Jack is pretty good about communications via e-mail. He's not so easy to get hold of by telephone. He's a very personable fellow.

I cannot recommend Jack. He is more than personable, seems so compassionate, and yet managed to take hundreds of thousands of dollars from our estate. So shocked and disheartened--appalled.

Hired Attorney Tamira T. Cason

Hired to do web design prior to her obtaining a law degree. She was paid over $1,800 and after 3 meetings insisted “the company needed to write our own jargon to execute and finish website. Unfortunately, my writing was not enough and lacked specificity. She could not finish the site…to this day, and never reimbursed nor felt the professional duty or need to move it to an editor, writer, anyone who could assist to finish and launch site. While it’s been over 20 years, you can run but you shall not hide. You took our money and you know it. Shame on you.

Hired Attorney Marco Dolfi

Avoid at all costs! At first, he says all the right things that he will do for you. But then he doesn’t do anything. He lies a lot and bills for time not worked. I used him to draft a lease for a business I was starting and he did not get it done in time. I lost the space. One thing to add is he speaks of others behind their back. I don’t understand why he would tell me about details of other people’s cases. That means he would do that with my information. Avoid Avoid Avoid.

I originally went to Jerry Udell because I got 2 endorsement from prominent professionals in the area. If you are looking for someone that works for the bank but charges you this is your guy. When you first meet Jerry he will look down his nose through his glasses and in a condescending tone tell you what he does not do. He will the push his glasses up and with some lame humor tell you what he will do including all his fees and charges. Once he has collected his fees and charges he will tell you to take care regardless of the results. Nobody on this legal team has any empathy or compassion for their clients. I would not recommend them to fix a speeding ticket. This was the most stressful legal experience of my life

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
