I was desperate for fair nondiscriminatory treatment at my workplace. The process with {{Redacted}} was extremely traumatizing- {{Redacted}} made promises that he would reach out to expedite my mediation date but was unresponsive and then the night before the mediation date was already decided told me that he could not make it.
He also directly led to my termination as I reached out to try to resolve an e-mail to which he did not respond entirely. He is absent for a week at a time during time-sensitive periods. Once he has your money he is not interested in your case at all-I also barely consulted him except when needed because of the high fees, but he overcharged every single call so he would not have to return any of the retainer fee-he stretched out and even lied about the times I consulted with him on the phone leaving me with $3.
He told me not to worry as I had a "healthy balance" and would return the remainder of the retainer-then I receive the bill and saw that he lied about the amount of time I spent over the phone so he could keep the retainer by keeping inaccurate times! Do not recommend this attorney or law firm at all and wanted to warn other people who may be seeking help.

Rip-off plain and simple
Hired the legal firm for my son. He had some issues around driving his car shortly after earning his license.
I was quoted one price to retain the attorney. I figured it was a fair price because the one other attorney I'd hired was approximately $500 more. Well, little did I know the DA and my attorney, {{Redacted}}, had some history. Long story short, they keep putting it back on the court calendar to appear in cost, thus costing more and more money.
Then bills started coming in the mail. Wait, didn't I already pay them? They claim we owe ~$1500 more. I paid over $1100 of that amount and they still are hounding me.
I had them send an invoice and believe it or not, they're charging me for phone calls made to the attorney. He would ALWAYS say, just call if you have questions. So, I did. Had no idea I was being charged.
RIP OFF - Do not do business with them. I have never heard of being charged 20 minutes for a phone call that lasted 2 minutes.
Unethical, unprofessional and arrogant
I retained a lawyer, Mike {{Redacted}}, based on a recommendation from someone that knew him. the case was an employment issue, regarding harassment, wrongful termination and unpaid wages. At the consultation, M. Macomber was very personable and seemed genuinely interested and concerned. He explained what he could do for me, and expressed it would be a relatively quick and positive outcome. 11 months and $5,000 later, my case was dismissed and never even made it to a hearing. M.{{Redacted}} never submitted any of he information I provided his associate with, in fact, he never even looked at it. He passed everything off to his associate, who then left the firm, and it took me numerous e-mails and phone calls before I was notified of that. I would have to call and e-mail several times before I would get a reply. Most of what he said he would do, he didn't. I was constantly getting calls asking for more money, even though he knew I would have to borrow it, due to being out of work. I was told if I didn't pay more, then he would not continue on my case. I was also told that my case was not nearly as important as the one's who are paying him thousands of dollars a week. I found out the outcome of my 9 days prior to my attorney notifying me. No phone call, no explanation, no apology or suggestions; just a short paragraph asking if I wanted to appeal. Since then I have received an email, a phone call and a copy of a bill, stating that I still owe him $275.00.
I am Disappointed, Angry and Disgusted!!!! Read less
***7 weeks later I received a message, asking me to contact them, and that they wanted to resolve issue. I did, but still have heard nothing from them.
After receiving the worst possible representation ever, I tried reaching out to the firm via phone calls, email, and I even wrote a letter , however, nobody would reply to me. It wasn't until I wrote a review in the YELP site, that someone got back to me. I was told to call or email them ASAP to resolve the problem. Well I did that, and 2 weeks later, I still haven't heard from anyone! What a joke of a firm!,

SCAM Crooked Lazy Attorneys
I agree with many other complainants. Tully Rinckey law firm is the worst firm on the planet - DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!The firm over billed me and did NOTHING about my case.
I lost my case because of Tully Rinckey. First of all, I talked to them and asked them if they could get the original police report and not the redacted police report. Rinkey said yeah, yeah no problem. That was the main reason I hired them.
They did not even try to get the police report! Second, they did not submit my witnesses to the agency. The agency wanted to see my witnesses and Tully Rinckey did not supply my witnesses. That was the reason I lost my case!
Third, they kept over billing me over and over for really minor ridiculous things. The partner Rinckey handed my case over to a Greg {{Redacted}} and a Theresa {{Redacted}}. I gave Theresa Levine my witness list! Greg {{Redacted}} and Theresa {{Redacted}} were both lazy, passive, incompetent, dishonest, and had a dont give a *** attitude about my case but they were happy to keep billing me out of my $5,000.
Hey people, get this, after I told them I was unhappy with them Greg Zappia bills me for calling him and asks me to pay for a plane trip to Asia so he could represent me in a deposition. ***, are you kidding me? The lazy rotten jack *** scam artist expected me to pay for a free trip to Asia and hotel for him. Why would I do that?
He showed no passion and put forth no effort so why would I pay for an expensive plane fare and hotel fee for this worthless, lame duck, toothless, cocker spaniel ***? These *** people will lie to you. They are lazy and incompetent. Run - run as fast as you can and do not hire these deplorable troglodytes.
They give attorneys a very bad name! I agree they are a body shop of scam artists. Run!!! The Tully Rinckey law firm is the worst firm on the planet - DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!!!

Very dissatisfied with what I feel to be shameful and weak representation. Over billed by "attorneys" while most real legwork and weak leg work at that was conducted by Paralegals.
I have the exact same complaint! Pay the retainers, they give you a wonderful feeling about how there going to go to work for you etc.
Then, you never hear a blessed thing from them until its time to collect more money. You could easily bankrupt yourself hiring this firm. My attorney had no aggression whatsoever with sticking up for me. I basically, made all the decisions myself.
Icing on the cake came when during a phone call after he represented me for several months he called me by the wrong name. I understand that they have more than one client but calling someone back at the end of the day on your drive home and billing them a small fortune for it is ridiculous beyond words, calling the wrong name granted sounds petty but its telling of what these people are about, money. Building a business, in this case this law firm, is great, but not at the expense of your SERVICE. I have a problem with paying 3,4,500 an hour for an attorney whom thinks they are the next Johnny Cochrane when in reality there just an overpaid windbag.
If I had listened to my gut rather than others I would have gone and gotten a small town attorney whom actually has the chance of running into you at the grocery store. At least in that scenario, they'll give you there best effort. I'm not stating they must win but I truly believe with a competent attorney or at least one whom remotely cared about me as a HUMAN being I would have gotten a much better outcome. Instead I got a guy whom didn't give a *** about me and bilked me for nothing.
Shame on me for being so nave and trusting. Please Please don't go with a large firm.
Interview your attorneys before you hire them. These people WORK FOR YOU not the other way around.
Mike Boyle is the only good attorney there.
I used Attorney Mike {{Redacted}} for a Chapter 7, great guy, responsive, everything you could ask for. Then we use another attorney there, a woman that does all the intake for the firm.
Well we were doing estate planning, a simple will, several months later, maybe 9 month, nothing.. I told my sister to ask for a refund...got it the next day! Then I used another Attorney John ? for legal issues and months later...still nothing.
He does not call me at all, I have to call him. Nothing to show progress or lack there of. Every time I ask what is going on, his answer is, they haven't returned my call?
Really, for 3 months.. what's up with that?
