HoganWillig Attorneys at Law Buyer Beware

Very unethical law firm. EXTREMELY Unethical billing practices and very unethical attorneys . they don’t do anything they promise, but will take you for every penny you have and then some. when you contact them and try to dispute what they are charging you for, they refuse to explain anything and then they take you to court in retaliation

FYI The law firm is now called Tiveron Law, since Corey Hogan was disbarred

HoganWillig Attorneys at Law medical malpractice

Hired hoganwillig ( Katherine Markel ) to represent me on Ccs oncology case and when I found out nothing had been filed or reported anywhere after 3 months, I freaked and Diane Tiveron said she would co-counsel with Katherine Markel and a month later still nothing filed or reported despite the fact they had clear cut evidence showing Medicare fraud on my billing and clear cut evidence of medical malpractice ( diagnosed with mild radiation poisoning) . Held the case for another 2 months virtually running out the statute of limitations.

HoganWillig Attorneys at Law Legal representation- matrimonial/marital

The firm of hogan-willig matrimonial/marital
This is the single worst matrimonial/marital representation you can have in the wny area. Bait & switch representation of attorneys, extraordinarily poor advice, outright lies, a sense of collusion, preposterous billing

Their idea: "billable hours"- take every penny they came strip from your remaining estate.

Run, run, run away from this firm
Once they know you have assets you'll be cleaned out.

HoganWillig Attorneys at Law Very very very bad. Nelson zakia and hogan willig

This is by far the worst law firm ever. I hired an attorney there to handle my divorce and he had my case for over two years and never accomplished one thing on my behalf, however, he did succeed in billing for fees over 30 thousand dollars. he never got temporary maintenance, spousal support, didn't succeed in getting me divorced, and now I supposedly owe the firm all this money!

This very same lawyer, also did similar to a friend of mine. she got divorced, but lost her business, her house and now owes the firm 50, 000.00.

Another friend lost her house as well. the lawyer is nelson zakia. do not use him. another unsavory aspect of this whole ordeal is that he would yell at me in meetings. i'm sure that wouldn't happen if I were a man.

I Retained Ellen Hanschu as my divorce attorney. She charged me $8, 000 retainer fee and handed me off to Nelson Zakia. He told me to take a settlement from my to be ex husband of a ridiculously low amount of money considering my husband’s net worth. When I told him I would not he yelled at me. I told him it was unacceptable behavior and he quit, I looked across the table to Ellen Hanschu, whom I hired and she tucked her tail between her legs. The firm then proceeded to bill me another $8, 000. I told them they had already been paid more than their services were worth and I would not pay them. My ex husband (who was paying my attorney fees) agreed and said he would pay another attorney to fight them if they came after me for the money. They did not try to get the money. Remember, the attorney you hire is having lunch, golfing with, and attending parties with the opposing counsel. They probably went to the same law school together and their wives are best friends. They are not on your side. They are only out to take your money.

Check out buffalo news.com for “Feds probe Ccs oncology “, this is the case they had for 5-6 months and never filed anything, anywhere. Despite the hippa laws and state and federal laws governing medical records. I was laughed at many times when screaming at them to do something in my case and 6 months later with only a little more than 30 days left on statute of limitations dropped the case. I filed complaints to the right people and seems there will be some splainin to do Lucy, sooner or later...

In the sixties we debaed sparred and had dinner afterwaqrds. Now if you complain you get marginaalized, LIED ABOUT IN SLANDER AND LIBEL ( very expensive to litigate) or kicked out . I have many examples. Let me think about whether it is safe for me to say what MS.Tiveron did to me at H and W.
Nelson Zakia, Linda Grear, Len Lenoff and the realeste guy are wonderful and ethical and tried and true. Why would corey Hogan keep tiveron on knowing ( althought I have not evaluated her) I wonder if she has a conscience. he seems to be a good guy.

My experience with Hogan Willig has been consistant with the complaints on here:
Drag out cases forever
Billing practices that can only be described as borderline criminal
Inept respresentation
HUGE fees - for NOTHING
Unscrupulous
Yea, and Corey...you get complaints from people who don't pay the bills because of the criminal way you bill. you bill for things that are MEANINGLESS, and for things that you don't DO.
I have found your lawyers to give TERRIBLE advice...in fact, they don't give ADVICE., they ask you what you want to do. How the hell is the client supposed to know? and then, the client loses the case because of 'their bad decision' (aka NO ADVICE) AND THEN Hogan Willig goes after them for fees. SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

We have a client relationss department at our firm because we handle about 500 new cases each month ranging from a family purchasing a house, to a married couple seeking mediation, to representing a purchaser of a business, or perhaps a college student who has a traffic ticket, etc.

As I indicated in an earlier response no matter how hard we try we have some individuals we can not please, so we created a department to listen to any concerns as soon as they are occurring. Those that do arise are few and are dealt with in a professional and considerate manner.

On the other hand, there are those who voice no complaints until we ask them to pay their bill, and sometimes we are then faced with concerns that never arose over many months of representation. We still try our best to satisfy and work out a plan that meets their needs, but to not charge anything for what we do is not much of an option if we want to continue to exist.

So while we still expect top have some complaints they are much less than 1% of our clients, and we work every day to eliminate even those by dealing quickly and fairly with anyone who is dissatisfied with the efforts we have made on their behalf.

I invite anyone who is dissatisfied with our services to contact us with their complaints, and to those who are thinking of using our services, they too can contact our office and discuss any concerns at no cost before deciding to use or not use our firm.

The HoganWillig law firm handles about 6000 new matters per year, and our complaint rate is less than 1%, which in the service industry is considered exceptional. We are striving to eliminate every complaint, and one of the purposes of the customer service person is to find out where we may have messed up and how we can fix any problem or concern.

We have found that some of the most vocal complaints are from individuals who have not paid their bill, despite a separate department that works with clients to set up affordable payment plans for those who need such assistance. Our bills are typically itemized and set out who worked on the file, what that person did, and how much time it took. We also bill monthly so our clients are not surprised by what we are doing and the time we are spending.

It is said that you can't satisfy every person, all of the time, but at our firm we are trying our best every day to do so. Thanks for the chance to respond.

The attorneys here were bizarre, you need 2 expert opinions for malpractice, If they could recite the BOP, the revision, infection, and fusion condition and etc 9 surgeries, then we would have been able to continue, doesn’t look like competency, I’m not the one who started the lawsuit, the drifters from my NYSWCB courtroom, when I explained who they were and how they came over from defense, and explained the tactics, and break ins, look how many attorneys left... Can’t work, can’t sleep.. because they lied, I can’t endorse this firm. They made me sit through 18 hours of deposition only to sign a stipulation. Bad attorneys.

What a mistake by having them represent me. I did not get what I should have and they let my ex's attorney walk all over them. They did a horrible job and charged me thousands of dollars by constant reviewing and assessing everytime my case changed hands. $$$ for them...$0000 for me! Do not HIRE!

HoganWillig Attorneys at Law Had Enough!!!!

Had Enough! I also hired this firm for a simple divorce back in 2003. They dragged it out for 6 YEARS! My case was bounced from attorney to attorney and the legal fees were in excess of $40000. The last attorney to handle my case in their firm assured me I would be awarded money owed me by my ex in compliance with my court order. After racking up $$$$ in legal fees, I was awarded $0.00! I now owe them another $11, 0000 and no money to pay them! Thanks for losing the so called "sure thing!" I send payments each month for as much as I can afford but I still have to live! I am currently unemployed and send them 1/2 of my income. I guess thats not enough for Corey! I am now receiving rude, arrogant, and disrespectful collection calls from an employee named Aaron. Managing Partner, Diane R. Tiveron has sent me a demand letter for the balance. It would have been paid if they had done their job! I am considering filing personal Bankruptcy to stop the harrasment! DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM!

Just wondering how can some people come here and defend these crooks @ HoganWillig and defend Diane Tiveron? Did Diane Tiveron or Corey Hogan asked to write some nice things about them? I bet Diane Tiveron and Corey Hogan did ask you...

People like HoganWillig attorneys give honest attorneys a bad reputation. Did any of you report to the bar? It should be an investigation by the State.

To XXX75: Did you try to go to the press like Channel 2 or the Buffalo News? They may help expose these guys. Just a suggestion because I know taking them to court is like David vs. Goliath.

Also try to file a complaint with grievance committee. Good luck.

I have had several positive dealings with the associates of HoganWillig over the years. From real estate transactions to wills. They have been nothing but very professional and knowledgeable in dealing with my legal issues. I will continue to highly recommend the HoganWillig law firm.

I have had a number of positive experiences with HoganWillig over the years. From real estate transactions to wills to traffic tickets, the service has been both professional and competent as well as understanding and compassionate. I have a referred a number of people to the firm and most have called me back to thank me for the referral because they have been so pleased. One person I know was on the other side of a case and made a point of telling me how impressed he was with the professionalism of the firm and the way the case was handled. I will continue to refer.

It's unfortunate that attorneys in general carry such a bad stereotype, but I would be remiss if I did not provide my own feedback as well. As with most things in life, there are always two sides to the story. I have utilized several attorneys at Hoganwillig for assistance with various legal matters and have always found them to be responsive, professional and approachable. Of course no one is excited about paying legal fees, but I've found this firm in particular to be very reasonable and also very willing to work with you on any concerns or questions relative to billing. In my opinion, HoganWillig is definitely a firm that is worth their weight in gold and I would have no hesitations about referring anyone to this office.

HoganWillig Attorneys at Law Scam Alert, HoganWillig, Hogan Willig, Buffalo NY Attorneys, Attorneys Buffalo NY, Buffalo NY Injury Attorney

BEWARE OF HOGANWILLIG Buffalo NY Attorneys they scammers and thieves. NEVER HIRE AN ATTORNEY OF HOGANWILLIG.

I heard their commercial on the Sandy Beach show and I made a big mistake and called them. They bait and switch. They dragged an easy case for months just to get the billing hours.

Once I realized it it was too late and they already billed me thousands of dollars. They use scare tactics to keep on the hook.

I am a client of Hogan and Willig and am sorry to see some unethical low life making unfounded allegations against what I have found to be one of the most competent and ethical firms I have ever encountered in my 36 years of doing business with virtually every law firm in Western New York at one time or another. I hate to see such vitriol played out in an arena where allegations are made without any information regarding the circumstances.The liabled party is guilty by slanderous generalizations by a disgruntled client who probably couldn't pay his bill nor reveal the circumstances leading up to his/her cowardly attack without facts or circumstances or even giving the slandered party the opportunity to present their side of the story. The same thing happens in the newspapers and media every day. People slander others and there are never facts presented or an even playing field presented to allow all of the facts to be presented. It is a shame that when honest, ethical, hardworking people are liabled without the presentation of the actual circumstances and the accused is rendered guilty simple by slander and insinuation. Disgraceful! I am on the record as a client who has had nothing but the most professional and competent representations by a firm I hold in the highest regard. This opinion is based on my experiences with this firm. I hope the reader gives the same credence to a positive opinion as a negative one, although negativity always seems to win out in our society whether it is supported by fact or not. Sad commentary on the state of our society today. I stumbled upon this
nonsense while doing a totally unrelated internet search on another matter and my response is spontaneous and non solicited.

The HoganWillig law firm handles about 6000 new matters per year, and our complaint rate is less than 1%, which in the service industry is considered exceptional. We are striving to eliminate every complaint, and one of the purposes of the customer service person is to find out where we may have messed up and how we can fix any problem or concern.

We have found that some of the most vocal complaints are from individuals who have not paid their bill, despite a separate department that works with clients to set up affordable payment plans for those who need such assistance. Our bills are typically itemized and set out who worked on the file, what that person did, and how much time it took. We also bill monthly so our clients are not surprised by what we are doing and the time we are spending.

It is said that you can't satisfy every person, all of the time, but at our firm we are trying our best every day to do so. Thanks for the chance to respond.

I have been ripped off by HoganWillig and Diane Tiveron. I wish I did google them before I used them. Very unethical lawyers. Diane Tiveron is the thief in chief. The HiganWIllig laywer robs you and Diane Tiveron is the enforcer. Diane Tiveron will stop at nothing. Diane Tiveron will not talk to you if you have a complaint about the lawyer unless you agree she bills you for her time. Diane Tiveron is the most unethical lawyer in the Buffalo area. Watch Out.

Sheila you area a sham. You are trying to get people to contact you so you can sue them.
