1 /5 Shaqueta Denise: I recently had the misfortune of working with
CHISOLM TRIMBLE & ASSOCIATES, LLC. and I have to say, the experience was nothing short of terrible. From start to finish, the service was abysmal and I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring this firm to think twice.
First of all, communication was a major issue. I found it extremely difficult to get ahold of my assigned attorney and when I did, they seemed disinterested and unengaged. I continually had to follow up with them myself to get updates on my case, and when I did finally speak to their clerks, it was clear they hadnt even read my file or were not informed of the specifics of my situation.
Secondly, the billing process was a complete mess. I received multiple different invoices with different amounts and descriptions of services provided. When I tried to discuss this with the accounting department, I was met with rudeness and impatience. It felt like they were just trying to squeeze as much money out of me as possible without providing any clear explanation for the charges. I have to find another law firm to sort out the mess that this firm allowed and by mess, I mean the drawn up paperwork makes no sense and is completely incorrect. I signed at the suggestion of the lawyer, realizing now that their service was a waste of time and money. They provided nothing, honestly. Charging repeatedly for paperwork and information that they never used. My case never went to the trial that I thought I was paying for. I paid trial fees for a lawyer to speak to me twice over the course of a year. She was ill or unavailable the rest of the time. Blatant liars and will threaten to drop you and keep your money if you complain, because they need the “trust” of the client. Don’t trust them to do right by you. They’re money hungry.
Overall, my experience with
CHISOLM TRIMBLE & ASSOCIATES, LLC. was incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional and reliable legal services. The lack of communication, uninterested attorneys, and confusing billing practices make this firm one to avoid at all costs.
Editing because it hurts to think about how they handled my case. Terrible business practices. DO NOT RETAIN THEM!
