I was in an urgent situation and needed representation. I had contact with another lawyer in this firm years ago and she was too busy. After hearing my situation, they recommended Kathy Root. She is a "top lawyer' (most expensive) and I retained her. In hindsight, I should have shopped around, but was new to this experience and was frankly in a panic. I fired Kathy after 5 months and nearly $30,000 spent. She was completely inconsistent, sometimes not responding to emails for several days, even weeks. Follow through was unpredictable and advice was sometimes inaccurate. Significant mistakes were made through the case, and we ended up resolving most of our issues in mediation. My newly hired lawyer is perplexed by some of the work that was done (or not done) and it has taken more money and time to rectify these issues. I now know what it is like to have a true advocate for my situation, something I never felt with Kathy and Gevurtz Menashe.
