Wiegel Law Group, PLC

Experienced, practical, trustworthy, intelligent, and responsive. I have interacted with many attorneys and Mr. Weigel’s professionalism, industry knowledge and no-​nonsense insights are second to none. I will definitely use him again.

I had a pretty bad experience with these guys. The one good thing that happened was that we got a question answered effectively — but I think we got about 15 minutes worth of help, delivered over the course of 45 minutes, and we got charged for the full hour. Here are a few of the low points:
1 — the first thing they do is take a credit card deposit over the phone. You can’t even talk to a lawyer before they do that, you have to pony up $ 750 just to get through he door. I didn’t realize how uncommon that is. Now that I have terminated my relationship with them, I am waiting for a partial refund from them, which is I’m sure just how they like it. I am not optimistic I will get any thing back from them and that is a crappy feeling.
2 — I approached them with a very clear use case, to serve a simple lease termination. For one I was routed to the most expensive lawyer — at almost $ 400 per hour. He was sort of nice, but perhaps a bit pompous and just slow as molasses on the phone. The only time we ever interacted with him was over the course of this conference call for which we were charged $ 380. He assured me that the minute we closed on our property, ‘just let my office know and I will send a paralegal over to serve the notice”. I mentioned that we wanted to move in as soon as possible.
Once the deal went through, i began my full court press on their office. We closed on a Tuesday, and as of Wednesday morning I was following up with the office of Wiegel Law Group about serving the notice that was so important to me, was very time sensitive, and I had been assured was a simple trivial thing. I will spare you any more details, suffice to say that by Friday afternoon, after about 6 more phone calls and a number of emails, I had to terminate my relationship with Wiegel because I had not yet heard back from Andrew and I had already lost 2 business days and as far as I could tell he just could not be bothered, even at $ 380 per hour. Interesting. So the service is really bad.
3 — My solution was to print and send the termination notice myself via certified mail, which I didn’t know you could do, which was advice and even a form I was forwarded via email from another lawyer for free. So that is the range of value propositions there, from one group to the other: Wiegel takes money up front, over-​bills, and under-​delivers, while at the same time moving incredibly slowly; another office I contacted gave me the advice I needed, for free, immediately, with a simple plug at the end to be considered for more, paying business when the time comes, which I will of course do now that I know I can trust them.
So — as far as I can tell, Wiegel Law Group is really just there to squeeze the little guy and do as little as possible. I’m sure they have happy clients but they must pay LOTS of money if I can’t even get decent service at $ 380 per hour.
