Barclay Damon LLP

Going on 6 years no return on an estate. Lack of communication and very little help with options for a family in a hard time. Even better yet they kept blaming covid for delays, 5 years into the ordeal they say we have no paperwork and need to go back over everything. You'll end up broke before they finalize anything and when it's all said and done they want more. Not pleased

This review is based on my direct experience in litigation where Michael Murphy represented McDonald’s. My complaint was filed on December 30, 2024. McDonald’s had a clear deadline of March 1, 2025 to respond. That deadline passed without a response. Instead, an extension was later granted moving the deadline to April 11, 2025, despite the fact that I did not authorize or consent to any extension, which unnecessarily delayed the case. Since then, settlement negotiations have stalled, even though McDonald’s previously made an $7,000 settlement offer. From my perspective, progress stopped once delays were introduced, and the strategy shifted to prolonging litigation rather than resolving it. For an individual litigant facing a large corporate defense, this type of delay tactic is exhausting and damaging. Deadlines matter. Consent matters. Good-faith negotiation matters. If you are dealing with this attorney, do not assume timelines will be honored, insist on everything in writing, and monitor every deadline yourself. Expect a defense strategy focused on delay rather than resolution.

Good service - they take time to understand the details and workings of your idea. Professional writing above what an individual can likely produce on his/her own. But wildly expensive - would absolutely NOT recommend trying to get a patent (or even a Provisional Patent) when you're young. They quote you one amount and the overall price ends up being about twice what they estimate. If you're older and more established and actually have money, I recommend using this service

Funny empty mail situation, they were not surprised when I called.

Best attnys and staff around l!

I can't express how dissatisfied my family is with this practice. An uncle passed suddenly in Nov of 2019, leaving no will, but trust money, pension and life insurance to a disabled brother. Pretty much nothing was accomplished up to the point that whoever was handling our case retired at the end of 2020. The paperwork involving the pension money and life insurance was never followed up on and lost. Phone calls were always answered with "Let me check and I'll call you back.", only to have to call them again and get the same answer. Here we are in July of 2021 and we are pretty much starting from zero having to submit all of the information we had already given them all over again. They'll be expecting thousands of dollars when they are finally done and have done almost nothing to earn it.

Great service
