Went to meet one of their "junior associates " to help me in a family legal matter. 5 minutes into my appointment someone knocks at the door . The junior associate told me they also run a notary service and he would be back in 10-15 minutes . 30 minutes later I grabbed my paper work and left very disappointment . Moral of this story . Don't let the intern coffee runner handle your business. Wouldn't even rate this at 1 star.
