Hired Attorney Mary Wampler Browning

My wife and I worked with Mary Browning on our estate planning. We have a complicated set of assets including businesses, real estate and various types of accounts. {para}The process was very new and scary for us. Mary was patient in walking us through the process. She helped us to translate our plans for our children into a set of trusts that reflected our objectives.{para}Mary communicated effectively. Every meeting was followed by a detailed memo accurately reflecting what we had discussed. She worked quickly to develop several trusts to meet our needs. She filed the corporate filings, developed a Will for our remaining estate, wrote our health care proxy and power of attorney. She made the process educational and meaningful {para}While nobody enjoys talking about death and estate planning. Mary Browning made the process comfortable. She is a true professional. Use her! The highest rating possible.

Hired Attorney Steven I. Adler

I retained attorney Steven Adler for employment litigation. He cam referred highly. He did do his job but not as effectively as I wanted. He was stonewalled by the defendants' attorneys when it came to settling. They settled for small amount and Adler declared during my deposition that my case was not as important to him as he had larger bigger potential pay outs from class actions he was representing. I didn't see this disclosure of Adler's to be professional.

Hired Law Firm

Cole Schotz is sending unjustified invoices. We got pamela working on the case, but she never asked questions on what she was missing to investigate the case. No result out (not even 1 letter) if it and then not being responsive on my questions. They can still rectify it, but they said they were busy on other cases.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
