Earlier this year we experienced a difficult and serious situation regarding my mother. My mother - who is a client of Mr. Mall's - ended up with a serious health issue that landed her in the hospital. Despite her very frail and fragile health condition, the hospital planned to discharge her, despite our family's objections on the grounds that this was neither logical nor safe. Who would have thought to contact your parent's attorney to help you in such a situation - but that is exactly what we did and I am more than grateful as Mall, Malisow & Cooney "saved the day." With their knowledgeable intervention, my mother's discharge was stopped and she was able to remain in the hospital until such time that she could be transferred to a safe place in which to recover fully. Had it not been for Mr. Mall and his extremely capable staff, I don't know what situation we would have found my mother in at this time. The entire family is forever grateful for the assistance and truly life saving measures that were provided as a result of her being a client and us being able to have the knowledgeable intervention on the part of her attorney. Many Many thanks!
Mr. Mall was recommended to my family by long-time family friends as a result of the great work he did for them. I hired Mr. Mall for my full estate planning and am extremely pleased with the result. The professionalism, thoroughness, and support of Mr. Mall and his staff were excellent. As a result, I have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so.
I retained these lawyers after my father passed away because they developed his trust/will. $17,500 and 16 months later, his estate is still not closed. They tried to keep the estate open "just in case creditors came forward." During the entire process, I called all of the creditors myself, kept all of the documentation and provided copies to Mall, Mallisow & Cooney. I was very hands on. In hindsight it is clear to me that they took advantage of me and charged me a fortune. Needless to say, I fired them. I do NOT recommend them to anyone.
