2.0(4)✓ Google-verified

Three recent reviews split sharply. One praiseworthy account from 2023 credited Cashman with strong legal knowledge and commitment to defending rights. Two one-star reviews from 2023 and 2016 allege slow document preparation, ignored requests for case information, refusal to pursue the client's preferred strategy, and ultimately unnecessary bankruptcy advice that a second attorney said could have been avoided. An older one-star review accused the firm of taking money and abandoning a bankruptcy case entirely.
