Arnold Gruber Ltd

We used Arnold Gruber Ltd for estate planning. We appreciated their knowledge, thoroughness, and professionalism. They approached difficult discussions in regard to finances and end of life discussions with care. My partner has a difficult schedule, one of the reasons these important discussions had been delayed as long as they had, and the attorney working with us accommodated our schedule meeting with us to finalize our planning the day after a major holiday with most offices closed. We are very grateful for and impressed by the service we received and would absolutely use this law firm in the future, if needed!

Not happy with cost, service or results. Overpriced on things that should be given to a more junior staff member (lower bill rate). Never resolved the issue. Feel like Im being charged for them to reread emails because some communication lacking and I had to follow up (so was I charged to have you read the first email not respond then having you review my follow-up). Never resolved issues or answered question fully to resolve issues. Spent more money on firm to not assist me. If you are on a budget and need results go somewhere else!

When a situation came up last year that my business needed some legal assistance, I asked Shawn Wilson for help and the matter was resolved quickly and correctly. I really appreciate her professionalism and timeliness in the matter. I would recommend her to any business owner looking for legal help.

I met with Todd Kotler to assist me with obtaining a Letter of Authority for the estate of my deceased spouse. I had explained what I needed by phone, prior to this meeting, and he said he could help with that. He was late and unprepared for our meeting, without apology. When he learned there were basically no personal assets to report, and I just needed the LOA to get the medical records of my deceased spouse, he asked if I was planning to file a wrongful death action. I explained I was having a medical lawyer review the records at this point. He then had a cryptic conversation with his paralegal about fees, then insisted that he would have to open and close probate, and coordinate that with the other attorney. He advised me to list $100,000 as personal assets for my deceased spouse, which is completely false, in anticipation of a lawsuit award that may not ever happen. He then claimed he would be entitled to 4% of any potential settlement for which he would have had no part in litigating. I ended the meeting at that point and consulted another estate attorney. He was shocked that Mr. Kotler would take advantage of someone in a tragic situation. He said there was a very simple way for me to obtain the medical records without unnecessarily opening probate, and explained exactly what to do, at no charge. How unethical and desperate do you have to be to exploit someone who is grieving? In my opinion, Todd Kotler is a very small, arrogant, unethical man, out to line his own pockets. If I decide to file a wrongful death action, I will certainly not hire Mr. Kotler to handle probate.

Excellent service. Rick was thorough and easy to understand. Will strongly recommend and definitely use him in the future. Also very prompt in providing the documents we needed.
