O'Kelley & Sorohan, Attorneys At Law, LLC

I’ve had professional experiences with other O’Kelly & Sorohan offices, but the Duluth branch is a different story. My experience highlights three significant areas where this office falls short of Georgia’s legal and ethical standards: Breach of Confidentiality (Rule 1.6): Look at how this office responds to negative reviews. They frequently disclose specific customer information to publicly "attack" or defend themselves. Under Georgia State Bar Rule 1.6, attorneys are prohibited from revealing information relating to the representation of a client. Using a public forum to air client details is an ethical red flag. Lack of Communication (Rule 1.4): We have been dealing with an Earnest Money dispute for months. Raissa Rolim has been consistently unresponsive. When she does reply, it’s a vague "I have to check with a supervisor," followed by weeks of silence. Georgia Rule of Professional Conduct 1.4 requires lawyers to keep clients reasonably informed and promptly comply with requests for information. This office has done neither. Withholding Cost Information (O.C.G.A. § 23-3-90): We have repeatedly asked for the specific costs to file an interpleader action so the buyer and seller can reach a settlement. This request has been ignored for months. Under O.C.G.A. § 23-3-90, the holder of funds is supposed to act as a neutral stakeholder. By withholding the cost of the action, the firm is effectively blocking the parties from making an informed decision to settle, unnecessarily dragging out the dispute. If you value transparency, privacy, and basic professional responsiveness, I would strongly suggest using a different firm.

I was unable to review the closing statement in advance, there were mistakes as well

Thanks for your attention and support

No communication, and lack of attention. They played with the closing date repeatedly until I told everyone I was pulling out of the deal. Then...and only then everyone seemed to be on it and communicating.

Very rude and unprofessional. I talked to 3 people trying to obtain a document missing from closing documents and got nothing but attitude. Gave up..I will try to contact the county. Do NOT recommend.

They did our closing. We were the sellers. They added some fees we had to pay and it was done in a shady way. I would never trust this firm to work with. Run.

I had a wonderful experience with O'Kelley and Sorohan Law Associates. It was timely. The communication was great, and overall, it was a great experience. I would close with them again.

They handled the closing on my house. We were scheduled for a 1pm close. I spoke to the pre-closer at noon and she indicated they did not yet have a clear to close from the bank. I was told to shoot for 3pm. I was on 316 and spoke to the pre-closer again and she indicated we would need to reschedule for the next day and we were 100% NOT going to close. My agent said to go to the office anyway. We ended up closing at 5:30pm. Not sure where their miscommunication is... They did have complimentary candy and bottled water. The attorney was efficient. Just overall a confusing and mentally taxing experience.

If i could give them zero stars i would, our company has used them previously for the past years for multiple transactions around North GA and never had an issue until we sent them over our final transaction with them. They informed us they were familiar with novations and understood the process which they did not, they were very unresponsive and last minute with everything to ending up finding out they canceled our transaction same day of closing and then closed on the home without our company, We had several team members reaching out to Lindsay and was informed that they were not going to close the transaction but we ended up founding out they removed us off the deal and closed the transaction with all other parties. WE DO NOT RECOMMONED IF YOU DO NOVATIONS OR ASSIGNMENTS. Our company is doing 30-40 transactions a month as assignments and novations and we will take our clients elsewhere!!!!!

If you are a real estate investor DO NOT use this firm! If you like POOR communication in which people involved In your transaction likes to answer calls or emails. This is the place for you. Time and communication is priority in real estate and my time has been COMPLETELY waisted. I repeat if poor service and communication is your goal then you found the right company. Nobody will answer my call or emails at the Tucker Location. Carlton and pre closer Smalls have not responded to my emails and calls in 5 days and I’m the BUYER! Super unprofessional and highly disappointing. Investors and investor agents try somewhere else. Do not risk it.
