Why Pay A Lawyer?, Tempe AZ

I had an excellent experience with Why Pay A Lawyer when managing my father's estate from out of state. My father and my step-mother had their wills, beneficiary deed and other estate documents prepared by Why Pay A Lawyer and from the moment I called them (actually initially emailed), they were prompt, informative and supportive. I had many questions regarding probate and all of my questions were answered and the process made very easy. I only wish they would expand to other states. I am especially grateful to Erlinda who went above and beyond.

They helped me respond to court documents from LA County. They were amazing very attentive and helpful. Kept my stress levels at bay, they were a great help. I hope I would never have the need but would definitely use them again.

Great, I set up my S Corp with these guys over 10 years ago. John has been very helpful along the way. Thanks guys

Richard was very rude to me! He took 54 days for my demand letter to be served! I called to see why the letter was not served after 54 days, and Richard started yelling @me, that I'm harassing him, because I called 5 times over a month to see why the letter has not been served in a timely manner. This letter was of great concern, because it involves my mentally ill son. I do not recommend Richard with why pay a lawyer, unless you do not want your business to be handled properly and professional. To this day 1-23-2019 I have not received any papers that the letter that was served. Paid for letter on 11-1-18, signed letter on 11-29-2019 to be served. Do not do business with Richard unless you do not care for professionalism and procrastination.

Stay away! This place isn't good for anything except taking your money and the owner is on his way BACK to jail!

HORRIBLE WITH DEADLINES! DO NOT USE IF YOU NEED SOMETHING DONE IN A CRUNCH. DICK WILL PROMISE YOU A DEADLINE AND MISS IT EVERY TIME. I HAD 2 LEASES FOR HIM TO REVIEW AND HE PROMISED AND MISSED 5 TIMES IN A ROW MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT TO MY NEW POTENTIAL LANDLORDS AND NEVER ONCE PROACTIVELY CALLED ME TO TELL ME HE WAS GOING TO BE LATE EVEN AFTER HE PROMISED HE WOULD.

I had an excellent experience with Why Pay a Lawyer!

Richard Berry, was very through and he took the time to carefully explain the process. Due to the complexity of our contracts and deeds, Richard provided insight to strategically create contracts tailored for our specific needs.

Everyone was exceptionally kind, helpful and knowledgeable.
Therefore, I highly recommend "Why Pay A Lawyer" and consultations are free!
Thank you Dick for all of your help and for extending such kindness.

Richard helped us out in a very nasty case with our Nazi HOA. They tried to sue us over some dues that were not paid because I could not work. I suffered a major heart attack in 2010. They put a lien on the house, and sued us 4 different times making our lives hell!
Their attorney, a rat ambulance chaser, in his 4 different law suits came up with sums ranging from $10K to $ 40K. Each case more outlandish then the preveious one. Well they all were thrown out of court by the judge as being ludicrious. But none were dismissed with prejuiced so he could continue to file.
Well, 4 years into this we are now in the Supreme court of AZ.just before trial both parties are ordered to arbatration so off we go 3 hours latter the judge hears both sides separately tells the HOA and their attorney that they will not get $25K from us but $2K.
So we sign the papers I have 30 Months to pay them. I've made 3 payments so far.
I showed the judge the last 4 years of cases a filed 7 inches thick. But what really got him was I asked him to ask their attorney had I been making my HOApayments since 2011 he said no judge not one payment. They have you in separate rooms. So the judge comes back says nope you have not made any payments since 2011. Well, I showed him the file that had all the cancelled checks in there that they had cashed.
That's when the judge was pissed.
So to that end Mr. Barry was writing briefs for me and filing them with the courts. Yes he charges, no he is not cheap but he's not $500 an hour like some of these crooks.
He also did our living will and trust.
We are very happy and would recommend
Richard Barry to anyone.

You are more than just our paralegal you are a friend to us. Thank you for caring and for being a great friend

Rental business contract. Liked that they where there to answer my calls and help me see how crazy this person was & help me see the game thus crazy person was trying to play. Down fall, out of date legal advice for Arizona. Why pay a lawyer collected my money for their fee up front plus court filing cost. They lost my file twice on my meetings with them. So he was lost n confused on my case or what he filed.
He forgot to summit the proper amount $890.00 I was owed which I handed him the break down 3x, instead he filed for max Courts allow over $14,000. Why pay a lawyer told me I can sue for Theue fees n court cost. Not true, you can not.judge was not happy with the amount he had filed with no break down of why, or how the paper work was filed by this place.
I got a new ashole ripped in court. Made me look silly n greedy. My lawyer gave me advice to use in court Judge was very angry that I was not up to date with the law. Judge explain I got very bad legal advice then explained correct law. Cost me my case. My visits to why pay a lawyer cost me money, made me not ready for court and I learned a lot about Chicago cubs and their old cases years years ago and who he had walk in his office a decade ago. I think they are as sloppy as their place looks. I think they were good many years ago but are tired and talk good but lead you in wrong direction with out of date legal advice. Our legal system changes as quick as our computer n phone world. Get a lawyer or a paralegal that actual is up to date on court and the law.

I recommend every one that I know (and care a lot about) to Richard Berry & "Why Pay A Lawyer"! I've known Richard Berry for as long as I can remember, since I was just a little girl & they have always been very helpful to my family! They've made sure we've been treated well & are the reason an abusive/negligent nursing home employee can never again lose their temper with another elderly person, killing her. And why Fry's stores now have the proper safety precautions for their employees. Why Pay A Lawyer is always there for us! They're caring, compassionate & Mr. Berry is very intelligent. So despite anything you've read, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND trying their services out for yourself.
