Critical:Quality,Value
While they are friendly and knowledgeable, their service is slow and very expensive. Rates and billing practices were also not given beforehand, I ended up paying over $1500 after 8+ months for some emails, document review, and two in-person appointments. Do not recommend.

The team at Whitehead, Bird and Miles helped me through a difficult home purchase with ease. They responded rapidly to my requests, and worked with the seller to make sure all details were resolved quickly and accurately. Mike Briggs was my lawyer, and he and Alexa went above and beyond to help me. Thanks guys!

Was given a rate, I asked if there would be any additional fees for the services rendered and was told no. I agreed to hire them and then after the fact they send me an additional bill for several hundred dollars. I will never trust lawyers again!
