“Dan Vermillion, is the only attorney I’d recommend to anyone who needs to establish a trust or create an estate plan. He’s patient, thorough, and knows his stuff! He genuinely cares too! A rare species that guy. Check him out , see for yourself.”
View on Google →“Not empathetic enough to help guide the client knowing they’re going through a rough period and calm them down to resolve issue, yet took advantage of the situation and prolonged phone calls to charge more. This is called “time padding.” In the end, never resolved issue.”

He seemed to be nice at first, and I, in good faith kept my end of the agreement that we had negotiated. After this, he did not answer my attempts to reach him and did not keep his end of the deal. Basically, he lied to me. Very unprofessional.”

View on Google →“Won a settlement and this so-called law firm is playing games trying to shortchange me. They represented Terminix which is also Sandwich Isles, under the ServiceMaster company. I represented myself and beat this law firm with ease. Apparently I know the Law better than this firm.”

Before you contact Cades Schutte LLP
Before your first call about your real estate law matter, jot down a short timeline of what happened, where it happened, any letters or notices you have received and your next deadline. If you already have an open case or claim, keep the case number handy, along with the name of the court, agency, insurer or other side. Write down what you want to achieve and the questions you want answered, so nothing gets missed. Hold on to your original documents until the firm tells you how to share them safely.
