This review is long overdue! My husband and I worked with Rebekah and Joe, and they were absolutely amazing. I was dealing with a slumlord and needed help! They guided me through every step, explained everything clearly, and were super patient when unexpected things came up with my situation. Rebekah went above and beyond, always available to answer questions and making sure we felt supported and informed the entire time. The whole team treated us with kindness and respect, and we always felt they had our best interests at heart. We were truly blessed to have them represent us. Highly recommend this law firm!
Our attorney was amazing and walked us through every step of the process and allowed us to contact him at any time if we had questions or were unsure about things regarding our case. He fought for us and we had a wonderful experience working with him to the point where I felt like he was our friend along with all the associates that helped us out along the way. I would highly recommend using him for any issues that you have as I have worked with attorneys before but this was the most personal and positive experience that we could have asked for. He will always be our first choice if we need an attorney or legal advice moving forward. All of the staff always treated us with respect and kindness. Most of all, we trusted him and felt that he always had our best interests at heart. We were blessed to have him represent us and felt so comfortable with the whole team.
I sought out legal advice regarding a long-time issue with my apartment’s elevator. You see, it’s always broken. And the permit is out of date. I’ve tried for years to get them to replace the elevator but it seems they’ve made a business decision to never replace it. So my neighbors and I suffer for it, frequently. I recently decided I’ve had enough. I was angry. So I called Tobener to get guidance on how to fight back. They answered on the second ring and a lovely intake member got my basic info down. A couple hours later that day, an attorney called me back. Her name is Iris Wagner. She actually listened to what I had to say and shared my fire to do something about it. She looked into the issue and just one day later, called me back with a thorough analysis of my options. She talked me out of the more aggressive approaches, which was smart because she helped me see the potential shortcomings of my considered course of action. Instead we found more impactful, less risky, options which I am now pursuing. I felt heard, cared about and educated. Iris Wagner is a sensational lawyer and her team is clearly operating smoothly. I’ll add too, they were the only firm out of three to call me back! I give this firm my FULL ENDORSEMENT
I have been dealing with a frustrating situation with a home that I am renting. I have been going back and forth with the property manager to try to resolve an issue for 8 months. Finally I had enough and decided to look for legal assistance. After seeing so many positive reviews, I decided to reach out to Tobener Ravenscroft. I had a phone call with Christina Collins and she gave me such awesome advice! She was very thorough; she answered all of my questions, told me what my rights were, gave me specific code violations to site, and help with language to send to the property manager. Her advice was great! I finally have some action from the property manager and hopefully my issue will be resolved quickly. Thank you for all of your help, Christina!!
Tobener Ravenscroft was recommended to me when I needed expert help with a dispute with my landlord regarding tenant’s rights. It was a very stressful time since I was out of town when the unlawful acts occurred. Their quick responses and knowledgeable advice helped me through the next nine months. Rebekah and Julia were the best team ever. They were anlways available to answer my questions and walk me through the up and coming. There is no way I could have had the successful outcome on my own. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer and I am grateful it was this firm. I appreciate their hard work and expertise. Now that the mediation is over, I have my life back.
