I am not a kind of person who often write a review. That is why this is the first one. I have an issue regarding Tenancy law. I have contacted a lot of law firm since September.
Mr. Haddock was recommended by one of the society, and I finally feel relieved even though my case is not settled yet( as I just signed retainer a couple of days ago ).
Kimberly( who is handing my case)is very professional and passionate. When I first reach out Mr.Haddock, he seemed consider my matters and get things rolling promptly.
Compared with my previous lawyer, Haddock is a way better for sure! I highly recommend

Report
A friend of mine used this law firm for a case where he lost over $10,000 to a tenant who destroyed his house because a property management company put in a tenant without due diligence. The law firm said they deal with these cases on a regular basis, after my colleague provided an in-depth explanation of the entire situation in writing and over several phone calls. After the law firm gave him a positive outlook on the mater they requested $750 fee to continue the case, which they took happily. After a couple days they called back saying they can no longer continue the case as they were unable

We were in need of legal help with tenants who were extremely difficult to deal with. These tenants were seeking a large sum from us. We were grateful for the help Haddock & Company provided with legal representation. Our
dealings with our legal counsel was always prompt and professional. We were represented up to and including the arbitration hearing with counsel. We were successful in our outcome of the arbitration case with our former tenants. We would have to attribute this positive outcome, because of our legal counsel representative from Haddock & Company.

Not recommend this firm. I feel so bad for my close friend who put all his trust and hope on this firm to get his money back but he ended up losing more money.
