What recent reviews say

Most reviewers report professional service and strong outcomes, with several naming specific lawyers (Milos Supljeglav, Greg Martinovich, Caley Kim, Ross) as attentive and compassionate. A smaller group lodge serious complaints about high costs, payment disputes, and feeling the firm prioritizes fees over client welfare.

Recent shift: Reviews from the past two years include both five-star and one-star complaints about cost and reliability, suggesting the tension between high-quality service and pricing remains unresolved.
