Client feedback in reviews reflects a range of experiences. Several reviewers specifically praise attorneys Megan Wakhisi, Channing Burd, Scott B. Mueller, Pete Salsich, Kara Lambert, and Michael Kahn for being knowledgeable, responsive, meticulous, and effective in achieving desired outcomes. One review describes a property title matter handled with consistent email updates and informative guidance. Another highlights an attorney who grasped the client’s vision and built on those ideas. However, the firm’s overall rating is 3.00 based on 10 reviews, and not all feedback is positive. One detailed negative review describes a phone interaction with attorney Mark Goodman as unprofessional, alleging yelling and a refusal to take a case. The firm has responded to at least one positive review with additional background on the attorney’s practice. Clients describe different experiences with the firm, including favorable property and IP litigation assistance alongside criticism of a conversation when the firm declined a case.
