A Neglectful Attorney Jeff Harty
I felt neglected by Jeff Harty and his firm, and my case suffered greatly. I hired them in September 2022, but nothing was filed on my behalf until March 2023, ultimately costing me my entire case. Despite proving malpractice on their part, they continued to send me bills. I even offered them a chance to rectify the situation, but it was to no avail. I am in the unfortunate position of hiring another attorney for legal malpractice.
It seemed like they would shuffle me from one attorney to another while racking up excessive charges. As two different lawyers told me, "They have a huge turnover rate because they don't pay their attorneys enough." This experience has left me with a solid desire to warn others to steer clear of this firm. I want to ensure that no one else has to go through what I did.
My LLC Registration Ordeal With An Unpleasant Journey
I paid $260 to register my LLC, and regretfully, it has been a complete letdown. Despite making the payment nine days ago, my LLC registration remains unresolved.
I initially hoped for a smooth and timely process, but communication has been practically non-existent. My attempts to reach out for updates have been met with vague no response. This lack of communication is unprofessional and shows a disregard for my concerns.
A week's delay might be understandable, but nine days without any sign of progress or explanation is unacceptable. It has left my business plans limbo and wasted valuable time and resources.
I expected more professionalism and efficiency from my attorney, Jeff Harty, and his team.
I strongly advise anyone seeking a reliable attorney to avoid Jeff Harty attorney. There are plenty of other competent professionals out there who can handle your legal needs with more diligence and respect for their clients.
Jeffrey D. Harty and His Team
I recently had the misfortune of working with Jeff Harty and his team, and it was a truly disappointing experience. From the beginning to the end, their service was far from top-notch, and I couldn't have been more dissatisfied with the results.
Jeffrey D. Harty and his team left me unimpressed with their lack of professionalism, limited knowledge, and poor responsiveness. They were slow to address my inquiries and provided vague and confusing information. Their incompetence in handling trademark matters was evident, and I had little confidence that my brand was in capable hands.
They barely paid attention to my specific needs and offered generic solutions, leaving me in the dark about essential aspects before moving forward.
I strongly advise against considering Jeff Harty for anyone needing trademark services. Their unreliability, lack of customer focus, and disregard for detail make them an unreliable partner. I will steer clear of them for all of my future trademark needs.
Persistent Sales Tactics
I decided to go with another company to register my Intellectual Property, and Jeff Harty would not take no for an answer. He rang me six times, bugging me to go with his company. This was harassment. HE STARTED GETTING ANGRY when I told him I went with someone else! What a nuisance!
I have news for him. This is a free country. I have the right to make choices. If I choose to go elsewhere, he should not harass me with phone call after phone call every couple of weeks. He followed up with me six times. I finally told him I would report him to the police. It was horrible; it felt like he believed it was the law for me to go and register with him and only his company.
Jeff Harty review
I reviewed Mr. Jeffrey D. Harty’s profile while seeking legal counsel. His strong emphasis on intellectual property litigation is clear, but I was left wanting more versatility in legal expertise. His unique, cerebral approach to cases might not align with clients desiring a direct, traditional legal strategy. Additionally, his teaching commitments at the University of Iowa raised questions about his availability for consistent client engagement. While his dedication to the field is evident, these factors could be potential concerns for some clients.
Outstanding Legal Support
I want to express my gratitude for Jeff Harty and his team's incredible job handling my case. Jeff is not only highly knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly honest and genuinely cares about his clients. Throughout the process, I felt well-informed and supported, with Jeff and his team patiently walking me through every step and ensuring I understood everything happening. They even reached out before each court date to ensure I was fully prepared. Thanks to their excellent legal care, we achieved the outcome we were hoping for. Thank you so much, Jeff and Nyemaster Goode!
