The Law Office of Matthew A. Bell

I am quite positive someone who works or represents this firm will write and post a rebuttal to my review but oh well. I feel it needs to be addressed. This was a costly lesson in you get what you pay for. If you are looking for half price legal services with good proper representation, keep telling yourself over and over you get what you pay for. My fiance was going through a very hard post divorce conflict with her ex husband and needed help with a modification. We met with an attorney and paid the retainer. The initial meeting went well it lasted almost two hours and we laid out a plan and the attorney was very confident with all we had that we could have a very favorable outcome. For the next three weeks the attorney we met skirted us and basically did nothing. We then receive a email from him stating he was taking another job and would be handing the case file off to another attorney who would be in touch. Two more attorneys later passed around we where back to where we started. At this point its been a month and they have done pretty much nothing. We set up a phone meeting where we spent the next hour+ explaining and going over every detail as done before. What basically happened next was they decided the case would be to in depth and complicated for their scope to proceed like we where promised initially. So basically what happened in my honest opinion was they legally stole half her retainer and did nothing for her and wasted a month of her time. Its sad we live in a world where people like this can take advantage of a single mother and frivolously squander her hard earned money.

Open legal services was great to work with. My attorney was so helpful with the legal aspect as well as teaching me how the process works. She was always available to answer my questions and for my court appearances, if she wasn’t she made sure I had an associate there on her behalf. They made my scary situation less scary. I hope I never need her services again but if I do I would call them first.

My attorney, Ari Barusch, was amazing! I had an easy case, difficult ex husband, and she has helped me every step of the way. What was dragging on for years she helped me to resolve in a few months. I am grateful for all of her help, she was worth every penny. Even better if you can't "afford" an attorney they will work with you to find a price that fits your budget.

My wife and I recently used Open Legal Services for a termination of parental rights, and adoption by my wife of my biological son. Throughout the whole process the entire staff was professional and always quick to respond to any questions we had. They were both friendly and informative. I would like to mention in particular Mr Chase Ames who was our attorney through most of our case. Chase was absolutely amazing! He kept us informed of what was happening with our case every step of the way. He also let us know what to expect going forward throughout the process so we were never confused as to what was going on with our case, what was expected of us, or how our case was progressing. Chase, and all of the staff we dealt with were phenomenal.

Yes..five stars for the team at OLS.
