BLUF: After nearly four years of representing myself, I had developed a good sense of what effective advocacy looks (and doesn't look) like. Attorney Leaf exceeded my expectations. Once I retained her, I felt like the cavalry had arrived. She reduced my financial exposure from thousands of dollars to hundreds, and the difference in preparation and advocacy between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was immediately apparent. I imagine there's a time when a young person dreams of becoming an attorney, then spends years learning what excellence in the profession looks like. Then comes the day that person realizes they have become that attorney--and demonstrates it every day. In my view, Kristin Leaf is one of those attorneys. Words I would use to describe her are: mindful; considerate; empathetic; strategic; capable; understanding; and formidable. By simply doing her job well, Attorney Leaf distinguished herself immediately. The difference in preparation, responsiveness, and resourcefulness in court was obvious. Although Attorney Leaf treated the "other side" with courtesy and respect, and always conducted herself in a dignified manner, the difference in caliber between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was unmistakable. She takes the time to understand not just your legal position, but what you're actually trying to accomplish. She doesn't make you feel like a "case," like billable time, or like she's got more important things to be doing. She treats you like a human. She's also mindful that her time is your money and makes every interaction count. I personally observed that Attorney Leaf stepped in and pinch-hit for my other GRGB attorney. She's got people's backs. I had been pro se for almost four years, with the exception of two short appearances by attorneys that made my situation worse. I have no doubt that if I had been represented by Attorney Kristin Leaf from the beginning, I would be in a much stronger position in family court today. Most people "don't have the money" to spend on a lawyer, me included, but if it comes to spending money you don't have, better to spend it on someone who will work hard to get the outcomes you need-and who has a responsive, supportive, hard-working team-than on a budget attorney who doesn't truly listen or prioritize you. That's the one thing I appreciated most about Attorney Leaf. She listens--even when she probably already knows the answer. Even when your thinking is off track. Even when you're discussing something the court can't fix. She listens first, then works with you to identify the path forward. Attorney Leaf has clearly invested in becoming an exceptional attorney, and it shows in every interaction. GRGB is lucky to have her. Retain her before the other side does! I am also represented by another GRGB attorney in a criminal matter. As that case progresses, I expect to update this review to reflect that experience as well. That said, if you need representation on multiple legal fronts, that's yet another advantage of retaining this firm.

KUDOS to BRITT ( wearing double hats for marketing & intake advisor)! I cannot speak highly enough about the positive interaction I experienced whilst speaking on the phone with this professional yet oh so personable (seemingly compassionate) soul! BRITT’s demeanor gives me faith in human kindness once again ! Thank you ! Here’s to HUGE Hope!

Prior review: After contacting more than a dozen law firms with little success, GRGB stood out immediately. They reviewed my case the same day, provided an estimated retainer, and gave me confidence that someone was finally willing to help. Britt Frank kept the process moving, and Attorneys Leaf and Dietel-Bargender have consistently listened, understood my priorities, and made me feel like real progress is being made. The attorneys, paralegals, and support staff work well together, creating a responsive, coordinated team. I will update this review as my cases progress, but so far I feel my legal fees have been well spent.

Andrew Flood and his team were amazing! They were able to help me navigate the process and frequently gave me calls and emails with updates and next steps which helped me feel at ease. 10/10 would recommend!

I didn't feel the person I was working with has good manners. Doesn't know how to connect. He would make you feel guilty even before you get any legal help; just sharing the story- I don't want to write his name but he needs to work on his communication skills.

I had them for a divorce - it was the worst experience I ever had. When we got to splitting up / negotiating everything that my ex-wife's lawyer demanded , my lawyer simply responded "well give it to her". There was no moment in which I felt that I was being fought for. My lawyer ended up leaving this company but nonetheless my experience with her and this association was horrible. I became just another statistic of a man who worked to obtain as much as possible to provide only for most of it to be taken away. Salt to the wound - I cleared my balance with my lawyer before she left IN CASH and now I am finding out that I still have an outstanding balance.

I worked with Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown on my professional licensure application and had an excellent experience. They were thorough, responsive, and clearly experienced in this area. I would confidently recommend them.

Lisa was the most amazing paralegal to work with, over the last almost 5 years we've had a variety of paralegals and none of them come close to how amazing Lisa is to work with. Lisa very professional, very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable, without her in our corner I don't know that we could of kept hanging on. On to Kristen- she was very new to our case and came in right at the end however she got right down to business and I truly believe this case was finally put to rest because of her ( and Lisa), Kristen stood her ground and came in ready to fight if needed. GRGB as a whole has been nothing short of amazing! We would choose GRGB Law for all of our needs. Thank you all for everything! Ariel and Jen

I choose to work with Patrick Campbell after phone and Google review of attorney options. I am an out of State client and helping my nephew with a OWI citation. We thought we had a good case but decided professional representation would be best. Our decision to work with Patrick worked out perfectly. His retainer was in line with others and his hourly rate was reasonable. Even more importantly was that every billing for services was an amount of time that was in line with expectations. Patrick apparently is very efficient with his work and I was surprised how little time we were billed. In the end Patrick’s strategy and professional advice were also perfect and he was able to have the case dismissed. He was thoughtful, professional and patient with the somewhat long process.We achieved our best hoped for result at less cost than we expected. I am 100% pleased we retained Patrick and hope you will also be as pleased!! I’d definitely hire him again and very highly recommend him.

Filled out form online and called never received a word. Thank you I will take my money elsewhere

I was grateful Richard Reilly agreed to represent me in the renegotiation of my spousal support agreement. He effectively utilized his HIGHLY QUALIFIED paralegal Angela DeCicco, saving me a lot of money on legal fees. Long story short… the settlement we achieved was significantly better than I was prepared to offer on my own, saving me potentially 100’s of 1,000’s of dollars in the long run. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Richard Reilly and his associates.

When I was first looking for an attorney, I called Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP. I didn't have any information about them and was pretty nervous calling (because in my experience it can be intimidating and the initial interaction can be very abrupt). When I called this law firm, it was the complete opposite. I initially talked to Britt and she was so kind and gave me plenty of information. It was not the interaction I expected and I was so appreciative of her helpful nature and her ability to put me at ease. I was then contacted by Attorney Adam Schleis and he was incredible to work with. He researched and discussed with me what path we could take . He also showed compassion and kindness in a situation that was difficult. We felt very supported by him at the meeting he attended and any time we spoke with him on the phone. I would definitely recommend them and would use them in the future if I needed to.

An outstanding attorney! He saved my life! The answer to my prayers! Thank you!

Max and his entire team were great to work with. They would return emails quickly and they were able to help me navigate my case with ease.

Both me and my family have worked with this law firm. They will devise a strategy and act like they will advocate on your behalf, but thus far, all they have done is pressure someone with a disability to make hasty decisions that have lifetime effects on his children and livelihood. When I pleaded with Max to please use actual income to compute child support, he refused and hung up on me while I was vulnerably sharing my fears of what might happen to our children. He also insinuated that he would be less motivated to help with another facet of our case. To me, that not only makes it clear that this law group is not trying to help families and has no concern about the harm that can be done for them. They have also gotten many material facts wrong, made simple mistakes, refused to answer emails and took weeks sometimes to get back to calls, didn't follow through on any of their strategy plans, promised to file pleadings and court documents that they then didn't and now my husband is facing sanctions for due to the lack of responsiveness, concern, or ethical responsibility of GRGB law. They also completely messed up the financial disclosures, which is more than concerning. I have contacted them directly and will update this review if anything changes, but as it stands, I would highly recommend finding a local firm that has your family's best interests in heart and cares about the well-being of your children, and that practices a level of professionalism that does not involve hanging up on clients when they don't want to admit to mistakes or offer a remedy.

Terrible! They ONLY HIRE WHITES. I interviewed here not too long ago for a paralegal role and felt uncomfortable because the of the male and female attorney. As a person of color I could tell they didn’t want me in their firm. They don’t have any diverse people- ITS ALL WHITE club.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Lisa- the paralegal i was teamed up with (Max as my Lawyer) Made it possible to climb the legal mountain I had to climb. there were so many moments that i wanted to emotionally give up and Lisa stepped in to hold my hand, encouraged me & educated me on my rights in an accessible fashion. as someone who has limited legal knowledge- lisa helped me understand what was being done every step of the way. She even wrote emails to me in a way that was accessible and so much easier for me to organize my thoughts and emotions. I will, for the rest of my life- be grateful she was the human who gave me the courage and ability to keep & protect my rights. All while keeping me on budget! She was SO transparent w price and ways to maximize my retainer as i didn’t have much in terms of money to work with (what a GEM). Someone give this human a raise and a paid vacation please! Max- My lawyer- How do i even begin to explain and offer enough gratitude for this human? Our consultation was supposed to be a quick chat- but Max made the space to lend support in what was such a difficult first conversation for me to have. We ended up speaking for close to an hour. Once i hung up the phone- he was on the case. Max made big things happen for me and in a way that was swift and as painless as possible. I know he’s helped countless a parents keep their rights in a world that wants so desperately for us to lose them. I feel for grateful for this human. As a Trans, non birthing parent with minimal resources- I can say this- I am SO lucky to have worked with this team. I couldn’t have done it without them. And i felt a SAFE AND SUPPORTED every step of the way. If you are need of Legal support and you don’t know who to turn to? Call Max and Lisa. They’ll know what to do and will help and step of the way. Don’t be scared. They will make sure you have what you need.
