Review of Stanley Law and Associates

I hired Stanley Law and Associates to handle a critical case involving a Tax Lien and Declaratory Judgment on an abandoned property. Unfortunately, my experience with this firm was profoundly disappointing.

Failure to Complete the Task: Stanley Law and Associates failed to fulfill the task they were hired for, leaving the case incomplete. Despite charging significant fees, the work they did was minimal and fell far short of what was needed to resolve the matter.

Mismanagement of Funds: I spent approximately $40,000 plus $5,000 in attorney fees, only to be left in a worse financial position. I have a legitimate claim for $28,000, yet due to their incompetence, opposing counsel now only offers to settle for $15,000. This puts me at a severe financial loss, a situation directly caused by the law firm's failure to complete what they started.

Lack of Communication: Time-sensitive emails were repeatedly deflected or left unanswered, leading to significant delays and confusion. One glaring example was their misstating an email from opposing counsel about the need for hard evidence. Despite my attempts to clarify, my emails were ignored.

Poor Organization: The firm displayed a shocking level of disorganization. They admitted they didn’t want to go through past emails to recall key dates and information, a basic responsibility that should have been handled with care.

Incompetence and Lack of Effort: While they claimed to have worked hard on my case, the reality is that I ended up doing most of the work myself. They merely sent some emails and made a few phone calls, but achieved no meaningful results. I even managed to find the same information they did through a simple skip trace.

Unprofessional Handling: After I called them out for their lack of communication and errors, they decided to drop me as a client, leaving me stranded at a critical juncture. This unprofessional behavior has cost me dearly.

Bait-and-Switch: I initially thought I was hiring Greg, a lawyer with a solid reputation, but he passed me off to another associate. Unfortunately, this associate had certain impairments that I believe contributed to the mishandling of my case. This was not what I bargained for, and I feel misled.

Overall, my experience with Stanley Law and Associates was a nightmare. Their incompetence and lack of effort have left me in a far worse position than when I started. I would strongly advise anyone seeking legal representation to avoid this firm at all costs.

Not only can we trust Stanley and Associates to handle all of our closing needs in a timely fashion, we absolutely have confidence that it is being handled correctly. The staff there are very pleasant to work with, and treat each closing with care and attention to detail.

This guy stated on record, he was sent by Stanley and Associates to break in to my property and try to take possession of it.

This has got to be the most degrading behavior I see in thinking I was a low income property owner and they illegally tried to take possession when power and locks were on the property. This predatory behavior needs to be addressed and laws need to be enforced this. Unfortunately for them, I had cameras and I am able to expose their illegal tactics on preying on the unknown and unfortunate innocent victims they are and have done.

Stanley & Associates does ALL my closings, particularly for tax deed properties. They are by far the most knowledgeable and professional when it comes to tax deed properties in Alabama. In fact, their unique expertise has saved me far in excess of their fees, and kept me out of trouble more than once. I trust and enthusiastically recommend Stanley & Associates.

Gregory & the law form charged me 800$ just to file a amendment complaint & push my court date back further. They will not call you only email so information provided will get lost in translation!! They didn’t return my important documents provided for my case & charged another fee to speak to one of their other attorneys after their staff suggested I do so when he withdrew from my case! some will try to use their title to take advantage of people who also is trying to make a earnest living but just know karma wont be in your side!
