DO NOT HIRE ELIZABETH ZWIEBEL

DO NOT HIRE ELIZABETH ZWIEBEL. I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS SO I HOPE I HELP SOMEONE FROM LOSING MONEY AND DEALING WITH ELIZABETH. I'm writing this to warn others and hopefully save someone from wasting their money. This law firm will drain your wallet without delivering results. It cost me $1,122.50 to end my contract!!! My daughter paid a $5,000 retainer. Before we ever reached court, over $3,200 had already been billed, with NO progress. When we decided to terminate our contract, they continued to charge us. We were charged $140 for Elizabeth to review the cancellation letter, then an additional $165 for Christine Bussey to read the same letter. To make matters worse, after I posted an honest review, Elizabeth personally called me and stated that she would only release the remaining balance of my retainer if I agreed to remove the review. This felt both manipulative and highly unprofessional. I have a screenshot of her message clearly indicating that I would not receive the funds unless the review was taken down. She specifically said that if I removed the review, she would return $1,122.50. However, after I complied and removed the review, she went back on her word and said she would only refund $215. When I informed her that I planned to repost my review, she responded by saying I would no longer receive the $215 either.

Shael Eisen

Shael Eisen unprofessional and unethical conduct of lawyer Shael Eisen, as well as the consistently rude and unhelpful behaviour of his staff. My experience as a client of Mr. Eisen was overwhelmingly negative and marked by a significant lack of professional standards and a demonstrable failure to meet his obligations as a legal representative. After retaining Mr. Eisen for legal services and paying the required fees for representation in a legal matter, I did not receive the competent and diligent legal counsel I was entitled to expect. Most concerning was Mr. Eisen’s complete failure to appear for a scheduled court proceeding related to my case. This absence demonstrated a shocking lack of responsibility and a profound disregard for his duty to his client and the legal process. This failure to attend court had a detrimental impact on my legal matter, causing significant negative consequences. Furthermore, the fees I paid to Mr. Eisen were not justified by the services rendered. He accepted payment for legal representation but failed to provide the necessary competent and diligent legal work expected of a practicing lawyer. This constitutes a serious breach of the trust placed in him. Adding to this negative experience was the consistently rude and unhelpful manner of Mr. Eisen’s staff. My interactions with his office were frequently unpleasant and unproductive due to their unprofessional behaviour. This further compounded the already unsatisfactory experience of being Mr. Eisen’s client. , my entire engagement with Shael Eisen and his staff was characterized by profound disappointment and a complete absence of professional standards. His failure to attend a critical court proceeding, coupled with his lack of diligent service and the consistently poor behaviour of his staff, leads me to believe that Mr. Eisen has engaged in serious professional misconduct that warrants a thorough investigation and disciplinary action by the Law Society of Ontario. Based on my experience, I will not recommend this lawyer or Law Firm to nobody. It should be a zero rating.

muy poca profesionalidad

Me atendío Maribel escucho mi caso pagué la visita y hasta el día de hoy estoy esperando una respuesta a las actuaciones posibles. La llamaba no atiente, es un pitorreo . La profesionalidad brilla por su ausencia. Al final he tenido que ir a recoger mi expediente sin saber que puedo hacer ante el problema laboral con mi empresa. Menos mal que son abogados laboralistas...

Brett called me ask me to describe my situation so I did then he had mentioned he don't know what b. HR o so then I had my doubts about him and said, I guess you might not be qualified for this case. So I think he took it personal and said, that's not what that means it's just that I know about law. Then asked me if I knew the person who violated my likeness if I had their email or address and I said no, at the moment he stated while you need to get that and then until you get that, I can't do your consultation. So call me when you get that and hung up in my face. I will never use this site again. He has anger issues.He should not be a lawyer

Opposite ends of the spectrum attorneys

The first attorney who contacted me was rude, disrespectful, questioned me in hurtful ways, asked questions to me in a demeaning fashion, and was ashamed that I was even talking to the person. He did not want to help. This review was a 1. The second attorney I talked to was helpful, insightful, friendly, courteous, kind, and truly wanted to help. This review was a 5.

Useful service

Lawyer.com has provided me with a valuable referral service and an opportunity to receive legal advice from participating attorneys. This service has helped me, with my limited income, with my family law matter, employment advice, estate planning, and more. For a very low price of $15 per month, I can meet with attorneys and contract with them to appear on my behalf, witness my last will and testament, and provide advice that protects me on the job. I highly recommend this service, especially if you find yourself in a difficult situation and cannot afford the retainer fees for an attorney.

What a disaster

What a disaster. They referred me to attorney Scott Stark in Central, FL. When I called I didn’t get Mr Stark, I instead spoke to the supposedly paralegal, a lady who sounded either high or drunk baring the same last name. It was clear she was working from home which is fine. But when she tells me I’m sorry I’m watching the World Cup, slurring over her words, had no clue what my case was about because clearly she did not read the referral. I told her it was a class action and she told me it was $175 just to speak to the attorney. I asked if they have ever done a class action suit before she said no and started getting irritated saying I was interrupting her Friday!!!! No kidding. Then finally I said they are highly unprofessional and didn’t feel comfortable working with them. When I did my review.. this attorney is/was also a PE teacher while holding his bar license which tells me work was slow for him and now I see why. Lawyer.com needs to do better research on the lawyers in their network.

Scam

After weeks of waiting, I got one call back from a receptionist and I provided them with the documents I needed reviewed and the situation, they agreed to a consultation and on the day of, said they were too busy and couldn’t take my case. This set me back and left me without representation, I missed the deadline to review the paperwork and don’t know what to do now!
