What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise the team for knowledge, empathy, and clear communication in family matters. One recent one-star review alleges the firm did not listen to her side of the story and felt emotionally hurt by the experience; an earlier complaint cited high costs and poor outcomes.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
