Beers Mallers Backs & Salin, LLP

This firm is literally the reason every lawyer joke was written....if you choose to use them you deserve everything you get including billing practices that are probably not even legal. I’m sure it’s done intentionally because it’s very hard to dispute legal work completed 10 years before the billing was even issued. (Yes they sent us a bill for work completed over 12 years prior) It’s especially hard to do once their client dies. Maybe that’s by design too. I’ve called and asked legal questions about documents they prepared and been given the wrong answers only finding out 15 months later (after I hired another lawyer that knows what he’s doing) it was the opposite of what my lawyer told me. We are making decisions in our business based on bad info they are giving us. They prepared my will after meeting to go over the specifics and when I went back to read and sign it I noticed that they were skipping listing my spouse as the 1st beneficiary. I thought maybe it’s automatic that it goes to the spouse but I asked anyway. Guess what? We had to redo everything. I guess their highest paid attorney didn’t show up to the first days of law school when you learn wills and beneficiaries. It took 15 months to bill me for this very basic will. My sister also had her will prepared that day. She still hasn’t been billed for this. It’s been 4 years. Maybe they’ll bill her once she dies. If you can’t get your billing correct how good can you be at legal work?

I believe that this firm may have or is going out of business? Left detailed messages on there website "contact us" provision, and left a detailed voice mail requesting a call back attempting to retain their services in asset retention and/or elder planning. They have not made any attempt to contact me in over a week. Is too bad as they came well recommended.

We have only good things to say about this legal firm. Our Elder Attorney has given us first-rate help in conserving assets, and saved us a great deal of money.
