My experience was with the Attorney Cari Haas. I never got to speak to Ms. Haas personally, whether she preferred it that way, or whatever but my situation happened in June 2018. My mother was a medically documented dementia patient that had been placed on hospice, and some how the oldest sibling out of the three of us went behind our backs and became POA of her healthcare and only of her healthcare. During this time he had been giving her Ativan and Morphine. He took advantage of her very vulnerable state and took the money from my mothers purse and retained this Ms. Haas to create a power of attorney over her property. Now let me just say that Ms. Haas nor her secretary had ever met my mother face to face, and I don't see any where in her biography that her practice mentions anything about working with wills, trusts, or power of attorney. When I had been at my mothers residence taking care of her, I found an envelope while cleaning addressed to the oldest sibling from Dunn Law Firm, it had already been opened so I read it and then showed it to my mother. She became very upset, because the letter had indicated that a draft of the power of attorney naming the oldest sibling with no successor was included for viewing and that if it read to their satisfaction then they would proceed forward creating the legal document. The actual draft had been removed that was supposed to have been included. My mother had stated to me that she did not recall ever speaking to anyone from Dunn Law Firm and that she had no intention of ever making him POA of her property. So I called the law firm and asked the secretary of Ms.Haas if she could have Ms. Haas call my mother regarding this POA being made. No phone call was ever returned to my mother. Then on a day a week later, I had my son sit with his grandmother while I ran some errands, I took the opportunity to stop in personally to the law firm to explain what was taking place because I had by then found out that the oldest sibling had a debit card for my mothers bank account sent to him. I again did not get to speak to Ms. Haas personally but was in the presence of her very obnoxious and rude secretary that was telling me that she knew my mother better than myself and that my mother wanted the document to read as such and attempting to belittle me in front of other clients in the waiting room. I basically told her that they were in the wrong because they had never even met my mother, let alone know that it was really her that they spoke with over the phone. They were ready to proceed with the will but I confronted the oldest sibling, informing him that I had became aware of the situation, and if it weren't for him not going through with it, they would have actually done it. And they even kept the money stolen from my mother, to pay them. The only people I would ever advise contacting this attorney are the shady scamming scums of the earth because apparently this attorney has no problem creating a POA and leaving everything to someone that walks in and requests it. Apparently you just need to know about an individual and what they have. This has to be one of the classiest moves I've ever heard of as well as experienced coming from an attorney. This review has nothing to do with the other attorneys working at this firm but hopefully its an eye opener to they are working with that may reflect on the firm as a whole.
