Thanks Anne. It has been a pleasure.
The absolute worst, unprofessional lawyer (person) to deal with especially in a time a family is dealing with a loss. Very unprofessional and would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. They will say that I’m not their client, well, my deceased mother was. Patricia Shevy, was my mothers estate a client?
Mr. Farrand is not our client.
Thanks Peggy. It is a pleasure working with you.
My family retained the Shevy Law firm when my dad died Sept. 2019. Ms. Shevy had the very simple small estate for 19 months and completed nothing. I paid the bills, had checks reissued, disbursed pmts, contacted the attorney who originally wrote the will and other paperwork that she said she would take care of. Communication was non existent. I received a letter in August 2020 from the IRS stating my dads 2019 taxes had not been submitted they were and I had proof. I contacted her office right away I never got a call back until October 2020 and the papers she needed me to sign were not ready until Nov. 24, 2020. There was any number of excuses home schooling, party for child, funeral. If I would reach a paralegal they would say they couldn’t help me and I would wait weeks/months for a call back. In 2021 I fired The Shevy Law firm and hired another attorney who was able to close the estate in a timely manner. Of course by then the market tanked and a significant amount of assets were gone. As if that all wasn’t bad enough she made several errors specifically she indicated that some family members were going to receive funds opened accounts and they were not entitled to anything because of beneficiaries. I know Covid happened but one retains an attorney to properly close out their loved one’s estate. I know she also had a medical condition at this time which I sympathize but I was going through a very aggressive cancer myself. At any time she could have told me she couldn’t handle it and I would have got a new attorney sooner. I requested a full refund and received $980. I had to pay another attorney to do the job Patricia Shevy neglected to do.. she is an incompetent unresponsive attorney and should not be taking money for doing nothing from grieving families. I filed a complaint with the ethics committee but no surprise they did nothing.
The ethical rules and the attorney-client privilege prevent me from publicly replying to Ms. Feeley's review.
We set up a family trust with Shevy Law and couldn't be happier. Patricia is an expert at family law. They are a very busy firm so patience is required. Telephone is the best way to reach them.
Thanks so much. We're happy to help you, and appreciate your patience. - Tricia
I have been trying for at least two weeks to get ahold of Patricia who created my fathers will. He passed. I have left several messages and sent e-mail. She called once in that 2 weeks. I called her back within a minute and was told she wasn’t available. I told the secretary that I’m getting pretty ticked off yesterday. Still no call.
Janice, I hope that our recent conversation answered your questions, and wish you well. - Tricia
Patricia knows her stuff and has been very helpful to me.
Thank you Marina!
Patricia and all her staff are all very nice and very helpful when we have questions.
I'm sure they're a good firm that is very busy! Now, if they would only answer my message perhaps I could be more certain of that.
Unfortunately, we cannot locate a phone message or email from you. Please call our receptionist, and we will reply accordingly.
Patricia got right back to my request she answered my questions and what my next step would be
Mrs. Shevy is a very thorough attorney at her job. My wife has sent many people to see her and we haven't had a disappointed person yet. She has created several Wills and has helped us with my mother's estate after her death. Several other friends of ours, Wills and documents for our mother's in-laws future as she ages.
Patty is the best. She follows thru
Patricia and her staff are organized, responsive, and helpful. They made a daunting task easy and smooth for our family. Highly recommend!
Excellent attorney specializing in trusts and estates
Enjoyed having Patricia handle my personal business. I was very satisfied in the way she and her team responded to my needs.
Patricia Shevy is one of the most professional, knowledgeable attorneys I've ever met. She has helped me with my family's estate planning needs, and assisted several other people I know with matters both simple and complicated. I've worked with dozens of attorneys and virtually none can be described like Tricia: Prompt, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. She speaks in plain English and writes clear documents, and she knows how to take complex matters and simplify them. Treating her clients fairly by charging reasonable rates is a core value of hers. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tricia to anyone I know who needs help with their will, trusts, business succession or other estate planning needs.
