Report
We used Paperclip Law for my father's estate. I had a bad feeling from our initial meeting when someone who looked to be just out a law school was running the show. Their team didn't come across as competent or professional. In the end, they failed to follow-up with key stakeholders in a timely manner, important filings were missed, and their estimated probate times were extremely wrong (e.g., quoted 4 to 5 weeks after filing, when it would be 3+ months after filling and 8 months since we started the entire process). We also dealt with several different lawyers as many left the firm during a short

I am very happy to have found Paper Clip Law. This group of lawyers are professional and caring and so responsive. They listen and want to help in any way they can. Riley McCormick (one the the lawyers there) made my real estate transaction feel so stress free. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable lawyers you can trust with any situation.

Report
I was very disappointed with the unprofessionalism of the front desk/"student lawyer" person. Not sure what level of Law they knew but they shared private information to a 3rd party. Was rude, raised their voice and threatened to not hire me as a client. I can't comment on the Lawyers at this Firm, I'm sure they are excellent, however, they need to re evaluate who they have making contact with the public. Will not be using them and happy to move on to another Firm that understands confidentiality and professionalism. I'd give zero stars but it doesn't allow that option.
