Review Summary

Reviews are mixed but predominantly positive. Clients praise the firm's location, support, and action-driven results, especially for property law needs. However, a serious concern is raised about Principal Russell Mawhinney, with a reviewer alleging missed deadlines, broken promises, unreturned fees, and unprofessional conduct like gaslighting. The other reviews are all positive or neutral, so the negative experience seems isolated to one client but severe.

Beware, do not deal with Russell. He missed deadlines and broke promises. When I called him out on a week-late promise, he called me "abusive" despite saying no abuse, he basically started gaslighting me. The character of Russell is incredibly low. I paid $5000 and got absolutely nothing, not a single promise of his was kept, no work was done, and he refuses to refund it. I asked him to work or refund, but he does neither. edit: Everything I said is absolutely true, this man is continuing to lie his way through everything, it's exhausting, take his immature response as further evidence of his low character.
