The Collaborative Law Group

Ellen Stewart was great. She handled my trust paperwork, filing and handling without a hitch. process was fast and painless and she was far more helpful than needed. I would recommend her for trust work in a NY second.

I used Jac as my attorney, I couldn’t have been more happy with this law firm. Not only were they nice but they went above and beyond to help me with my case. Every thing was explained to me clearly so that I could understand. I would highly recommend this firm.

Beware this law firm. I had an initial consultation with Jac Knust, and agreed to pay the initial $ 3500 retainer. Subsequently, my case was entirely handled by the incompetent junior partner Emily Hobbins. I never had a clear understanding of my legal problem, options, and solutions. Many times, I was the one directing the case and asking the relevant questions, despite paying them for services. What’s worse, I was never informed when the fees accrued beyond the initial retainer so that by the time I first heard about a bill, I already owed another several thousand dollars and was too far into the process to fire these attorneys and opt for a different legal team. In addition to the lack of billing transparency and incompetence, they neglected to inform me of a time-​sensitive window during which I had to take additional steps regarding this complex legal case. I only found out about this after I emailed them to ask for an update! I ended up having to cancel important travel plans so that I could hurriedly take care of this issue at the last minute! I complained about them through the Better Business Bureau and they never even responded to the complaint, but only charged me an additional $ 375 for the time that it took them to review my complaint! DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, interview several attorneys, and go with the one who appears intelligent & honest. And stay away from the Collaborative Law Group!
