1 /5 Michael Petan: One of the worst experiences Ive ever had. DO NOT GIVE THIS FIRM YOUR BUSINESS.
My father passed away recently. He had property in Washington state and Florida (with him, myself and my mom being residents of the latter). We needed assistance with probate since we are residing in Florida.
Right off the bat, the phone consult cost $75. The attorney (Mogren) seemed callous and uninterested. He mentioned he wasnt in the area that we had property (Tacoma) and that our attorney in FL handling probate should be able to probate the house into the one in FL.
This makes no sense as state laws vary and our attorney isnt licensed to practice in WA. Seeming to rush us, he said there wasnt anything he could do. He didnt explain the situation. He didnt refer us to anybody in the state who could help. He promptly let us know that he was transferring us so we could pay the $75.
I dont know if this is how attorneys normally operate, but they shouldnt. He spent less than five minutes and billed us $75.00 and literally gave us zero help. Ill do everything I can to make sure this firm gets bad ratings here, with the ABA, and the state bar.
Try to understand that the next time you talk with somebody who lost a loved one.
