What recent reviews say

When Mr. Lovern is actively working a case, clients report quick call returns, clear explanations of complex legal issues, and successful resolutions. His estate planning and bankruptcy work drew consistent praise for thoroughness and honesty. Multiple recent reviews, however, describe months of silence on phone calls and emails, cases abandoned without notice, and dismissive responses when clients finally reach him. The disparity suggests significant inconsistency in case management or availability.

Two one-star reviews from recent months and a two-star from a week ago document ongoing issues with unresponsiveness and case abandonment. Earlier five-star reviews (mostly a year old) praise his work on estates, powers of attorney, and bankruptcy, with clients noting his willingness to adapt schedules and answer follow-up questions. The tension between these patterns raises questions about whether the office can reliably handle its current caseload.

Watch-outs

responsive-communicationhonest-adviceknowledgeableclear-explanationsunresponsivemissed-deadlinespoor-communication
Best for: clients seeking estate planning, will drafting, or bankruptcy who can confirm upfront responsiveness before retaining.
Think twice if: your case requires consistent attorney contact over months; recent reviews document extended silence and case abandonment despite client attempts to reach the office.

Strengths

  • explains complex legal issues clearly
  • estate and will drafting executed thoroughly
  • responsive when actively engaged on a case

Worth knowing

  • Office has not responded to phone calls and emails for months on active cases, per recent reviews
  • Recent cases reported dropped weeks before court dates without client notification
