Rasor Law Firm

I wrote a detailed inquiry and they were rude and unprofessional. I wouldn't suggest using them for any legal advice.

Excellent service and counsel! I am extremely lucky to have another shot at my life and to be able to leave this review today. I was faced with an almost impossible situation with the most formidable judge and Mr. McCarty executed my case with professional confidence for a very reasonable price. He was always interactive with me and explained things truthfully and properly so I was comfortable and not in the dark. It started out as a habitual felony and I was facing a lot of prison time. Mr. McCarty worked his magic and advised me in the right direction, ultimately getting it reduced to a misdemeanor that saved myself and my freedom. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of counsel that they can rely and depend on. Most definitely 5 out of 5! Thank you Rasor law firm and Mr. McCarty for being there for me!

I see you edited your response to remove your sarcastic remarks, but they live on forever in the internet:

"We don't make up the facts. I'm sure you'll respond to this review and leave another one, but that can't be helped. Unhappy people do unhappy things. Sorry you're suffering, but that's not on us."

It is 100% on you, and how repugnant of you to shift the blame to me. You did not show up on time, you failed to advise of at least one hearing date change, you were incoherent at hearings and did not challenge demonstrably false statements made by the opposing party, and you did nothing to remedy documented false testimony that led to a costly journey that forever affected the lives of my children. I did the work for you: when it became clear you were not going to be able to file a vital document on time, I wrote it for you - because I know the courts and the process. And that document I gave you? You filed it on the wrong case, and on the day of the hearing - you weren't even aware of it. Jeff appeared intoxicated, and completely forgot his assignment that day- meaning I had to interrupt the judge, which I believe is poor form - as I expected my attorney to speak up for me. I really could have handled this whole case myself, but you know what they say - a person who represents himself has a client as a fool. And I wanted to avoid the unpleasantness of directly engaging my ex in court.

Rasor has said "we did everything proper and above board." Filing a motion on the wrong case is not proper. Not being aware of it at the time of hearing is not proper. Not being aware of court dates, and not advising the client of when they change, is not proper. Allowing the opposing party to lie, and not bringing that to the attention of the judge, is not proper. Not being prepared is not proper.

Refusal to admit making multiple mistakes, and refusing to make amends, is not proper. It is a breach of trust, professionalism, and ethics. It is my opinion that this firm allocated my funds to bankroll a personal injury suit, and abandoned my attempt to get a fair court hearing.

Accodring to the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board, Jeff McCarty "was appointed to represent a woman in a claim for Social Security Widow's Benefits, and he sought to charge an illegal fee; and in a collection suit filed against her, he failed inform the court that he previously agreed he would not charge any fee unless authorized in accordance with the Social Security laws and regulations."

Jeff McCarty, Amanda Washburn, and Jim Rasor have repeatedly demonstrated poor character and you are taking a risk asking them to manage your legal affairs. When it comes to trust and integrity, they have failed multiple times. They are well-connected and get good reviews, but I suspect they are from friends and family, or people who don't know the legal system like I do.

It is my opinion that this firm took my family law case and used my $15,000 retainer to bankroll costs for a high-paying civil suit, trying to score a huge cash payout for some client, but leaving me and my children to suffer.
