What recent reviews say

Most clients praise Michael Kofsky's attention to detail, availability, and straightforward fees on business formation and real estate work. Two reviews over 2 years old detail serious failures: abandonment during a real estate closing and non-filing in a probate matter despite full payment and eight months of excuses, costing one client over $20,000.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • responsive and available
  • detail-oriented
  • clear explanations of legal process
  • professionalism
  • reasonable rates
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and unresponsiveness

responsive-communicationwell-preparedprofessional-staffpoor-communicationunreturned-callsoverpromisedcase-delays
Best for: business owners needing LLC formation or established real estate transactions
Think twice if: cases requiring months of follow-up or close attention to court deadlines; two old reviews cite non-filing and abandonment

Strengths

  • practical flat-rate fees with no hidden costs
  • attentive to detail in business and real estate matters
  • available for client questions

Worth knowing

  • Website claims 13 years owning own firm and practicing since 1996
  • LLC and PLLC formation work praised as clear and timely
  • One client paid in full for probate work; attorney filed nothing over 8 months, cited court delays, later refunded
  • One client reports attorney abandoned real estate closing mid-transaction and declined to return promised refund for month afterward

Most clients praise Fine Law for keeping them informed, explaining legal steps clearly, and succeeding where other firms failed. Specific wins include loan modifications years after prior attorneys gave up, homes saved days before foreclosure, and mortgage payment reductions. Angela Sarvis and Phil stand out for responsiveness. Two older reviews from six years ago allege money was taken without results or proper action, though the firm has since built strong case closure and satisfaction records.

Mikel J. Hoffman Attorney at Law

4.4(12)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers praise Hoffman's knowledge, clear explanations, and hands-on availability across real estate sales, wills, and trusts spanning 25+ years. One significant complaint details a will and trust filed incorrectly decades ago that left an estate unprotected; the office later declined to help rectify the problem, forcing the client to hire another attorney and spend thousands more.
