I did not even get to speak to a lawyer but a clerical person who said she was able to talk to an attorney and that his case load was just too large to be able to do his due diligence. Hogwash! He didn't want to have to do a little work. Heck, he couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone. That's fine. I would never refer anyone to this firm.

MARCARI, RUSSOTTA, SPENCER, BALABAN

IS the worst Law firm in North Carolina this law frim quit my case for no reason stressed me out and has cause problems in my relationship between me and my girlfriend now i really see why people call laywer for

Adam Foddia was fantastic. He was very helpful with the our entire case. Thanks Adam

After reading a review by a former employee at this law firm, as another employee at this law firm, I could not keep silent.
I have been with this law firm close to 11 years. There has never been a day I did not look forward to going to my employment with Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, and Balalan Attys. These men ARE fine gentleman, caring, understanding and a complete joy to associate with at all times. They DO care about their employees and staff.
When one of my family members needed a kidney and I was a match, without question the partners and employees supported my family with vim and vigor. They gave me "as much time as you need to recover." Brad Balaban even picked me up at home and took me to the airport to fly to New Jersey for the surgery.
I dont feel it is the right thing to do to write our own reviews, but as stated, I just couldn't keep silent. These are fine men and shouldn't be slandered due to a short lived employee. The truth be known, I'm probably the hardest person to get along with at this law firm, certainly not Don, Dave, David, and Brad.
In closing, please know that I believe in this firm, the employees, the associate attys, and our clients. We ARE a family.... Tony

HORRIBLE !!!!! JUST HORRIBLE!!! You get a new paralegal every other month!!!! You will never talk to your attorney.......This place appears to be a sweatshop, they BS you at the beginning, but once you sign, you will never get anyone on the phone and it will take forever to get your case settled! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!!
YOU WILL GET MORE MONEY HANDLING IT YOURSELF!!

Very professional and orderly with my case! I highly appreciate your services!

From the very first phone consultation with Julie B. Kelly, Paralegal, I have felt that she represents a Firm that truly cares about the well-being of its clients. Julie has been steadfast in responding to all of my many questions throughout working together. I appreciate the guidance of Adam Foggia through the process with his answers as well to all my questions.

I had a pleasure of having Julie Kelley assist me with my legal needs. She has provided an excellent services and put her excellent knowledge on the full display She is a real professional and she made all legal matters the walk in the park for us. I would recommend her any time.

I left a review a few months back and it got deleted so since my wife was just told because I left a bad review this firm could not represent her further on her case. With that being said I have talked to a few lawyers since my wife told me what was said to her and they said the case isn't worth their time going to court over. For us to accept the deal. (Which was the real reason they didn't want to go to court with it) So now we can't get Adam on the phone to do that. Which that's how its been the entire time with these guys. The firm ask who's calling when you ask to speak to your attorney and if your attorney doesn't want to talk to you he'll tell the receptionist he's not available. So you leave them voicemails. No call back for weeks at a time. We were rear ended and no fault of our own and this firm can't even get our Dr. bills paid. Which my wife was pregnant at the time. The firm goes thru employees every two to three weeks. We have had 4 paralegals in a years time. Which we had to start all the way back over to them because they didn't even know we were clients. I would not recommend this firm to my worst enemy. If you do expect to do most of the work yourself and with Dr bills still pending to ruin your credit. Hope this helps someone stay away if you really need help...
This is the Raleigh, N.C. office

Great experience working with Atty. Spencer and Halima Sharif, his paralegal. Great job, thorough, explained every step of the way. Would highly recommend this firm. Thank you Halima, you made the process easy and pain free.

MRSB Law Firm provided guidance, timely information, and legal expertise to help me navigate a very complex workers comp case. David Spencer and his team worked diligently to protect my rights and always had my best interest throughout handling my case. I definitely recommend this law firm; they are a stellar team.

I have the pleasure of working with David Spencer and Halima Sharif.They both was very informative as my case progressed and help me find a pt I was in great hands And you will be too

Nice people very kind

We, me and Luz Arroyo had a nice experience with you. The paralegal Halima was amazing. Thanks for everything.

I had such a positive experience with Marcari ,Russotto, Spencer and Balaban- I found all the staff that I dealt with extremely professional-especially Jullie Kelley - the paralegal that dealt with my case- she worked closely with me until my case was settled- if I needed to ask a question or text her she got onto it straight away.
The receptionist at the front desk was the same - very polite and obliging at all times.
The attorney that I dealt with was effective and efficient from the get go- I would highly recommend this company to family and friends.

I would like to thank all the staff at Marcari, Russotto, Spencer, & Balaban for their great work & expertise if it was not for especially Mrs. Lynder Serbio & Mrs. Halima for fighting diligently on my case. They had an enormous task before them but they fought every step of the way if i could personally give them a raise & award I would. thank you God Bless.

Awesome firm exceeded my expectations.Thanks Julie and Sandy

Their very caring and always concerned. Return my msg promptly. They personally came to my house to gather information. They frequently check in on me. Very professional and ethical too. From the receptionist, parallelegal, investigator to the Attorneys, their rated a number five with me. Great team and recommend for anyone needing help. There isnt any case they wont take on and very efficient producing justified results.

I was involved in a vehicular accident in which I was not at fault. It caused an injury to my lower back that I will unfortunately have to deal with for a long time and totaled my new car. Out of the many attorney letters I received in the mail following my accident, I’m glad I chose these guys! After I called and spoke with them, they scheduled an appointment and came to my apartment knowing the condition I was in. That in itself shows how much they empathize with their clients. In the months following my accident, Jenny (the paralegal) kept in constant contact with me and made sure that I received my med pay to help cover the costs of my many doctor/physical therapy appointments. Mr. Spencer is the attorney I’m working with. I can tell that he has been doing this a long time because he is very thorough and informative on the legal process and knows the best ways to help you get the most of your case. Don’t hesitate to give these guys a call!

Called my lawyer 4 times and he still haven't returned my calls

I definitely recommended this Lawfirm. Lynder and Halima are execellent.

I recommend this law firm. My experience was great from start to finish. I would definitely use them again. Halima and Lynder were great. Thank you all.

If there was a way for a negative, they'd get one. My situation happened in April of last year. First, they were attentive, to get all the information they needed. Then, they went ghost...no communication at ALL. I've called several times and seem to only get the receptionist who send me to everyone's vm. Today, I found out that my paralegal changed from crystal Cline to heather bolling...TODAY...11/22/19. This is by far the worst attorney office I've ever encountered. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!

I was reluctant about hiring an attorney after my accident but did not feel comfortable with the insurance company of the driver at fault so I picked Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban because they immediately put me at ease. They were very professional but also laid back. Made me feel like family. I recommend them if you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of needing an attorney.

I'm so thankful for this lawfirm. They were ready to assist with my case the moment I committed. Calling me the same day, on a Sunday, which I never expected to happen. The gentleman, whose name I can't remember, showed up at my house the next day and from that moment I felt something good from this. Md. Halima is considered to be an angel from mi Giving me word on anything that comes up, very professional. Ms Lynd Ed r also showed me the same level. Blessings to this firm! I will refer as many people as possible.

Attentive, fast acting and communicated thru the process and kept me up to date on every detail. Very helpful. They took care of everything. Halima (Paralegal) was wonderful to work with. Settlement was more than anticipated. Very thorough and easy to work with.

I can honestly say that my experience with this Law Firm was the best law firm I have ever dealt with in my entire life.
I explained to them about my accident and they came immediately to see me at my home.
They took down some information from me and from that point on they handled everything else.
I am so grateful to them for all of their hard work, their love, and kindness towards me and my family.
From this day forth this will always be my personal Law Firm.

They refused to help me with my Case and they didn’t even offer to refer me to someone else who could. I definitely do NOT recommend them to anyone they seem to not have an interest to help people in need and don’t be fooled by the “Positive Reviews” on here because they are probably being made by the Lawyers themselves or either they are paying people to leave a “Positive Review” for them.

It's was a very long fight, but with your help we won the case of Pancreas Cancer and possible carcinogen exposure, thank you

One of the best and easiest experience I’ve ever had with any attorney law office. I contacted them according to my problem, and I met with the attorney on the same day. Extremely supportive. Loved my experience. I definitely would recommend you all in any further circumstance. Thank youuuu

The staff is pretty good but the cases take a little bit longer

Very professional during the entire process. Kept me well informed throughout and very transparent.

Great experience working with this firm. They responded back to all my emails in a timly manner. They worked with me for years until we finally got my claim approved. I highly recommed working with them.

The staff was professional, courteous, efficient, thorough and went above and beyond to get the best outcome for my case! My calls and emails were answered the same day! My attorney, Adam Foggia’s attention to detail and deadlines was impeccable. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing a personal injury you or workers compensation attorney.

Amazing people, great customer service and very understanding.

David Spencer and Joylen Diaz went above and beyond my expectations , they delivered fantastic results and I would 1000% go back in the future and I would also definetly recomend them to anyone ! Thank you so much joylen for having so much patience and for being super kind !

Joylen Diaz and David Spencer is awesome! They work fast!

Very helpful great communication answered all my questions recommend to anyone with injury case.

I highly recommend this law firm, Joylen Diaz is amazing. The law firm has handled my injury case and was very nice and fast about it.

Great Lawfirm, friendly staff. Recommend

They were very helpful. I had so many questions and they helped answer every single one, whether that was through email or over the phone. I loved their polietness. Thank you Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban for helping me during difficult times!!

The attorneys were very fast and they always kept me up to date on my case. They were very friendly and answered all my questions.

halima and lynder were great with my case!!

The whole team is terrific! They communicated with me during the whole process and assured me of everything they were doing before they did it. The made this process as easy as can be and they pushed for the fullest amount I can get! They’re really the best and thanks to Ms. Moreno & Mr. Voler!

Halima is a very sweet lady, she always answered all my questions and very polite! I recommend them to anyone..thanks so much for helping me through my case.

Very professional. From my first meeting all the way up to my settlement I was greeted with patience and compassion. Halima was great really the whole staff down to the reception A1. I recommend the Raleigh office to anyone with a injury case. They know what they're doing.

Great team to work with. Kept me up to date with milestones even with my busy schedule. Helped me secure money for much needed medical attention. Would definitely work with them again.

Everyone That I Was In Contact With Was Very Professional From The Beginning Of Process To The End, And I Like To Give A Big Thanks To LINDA And ELENA, Once Again THANKS Guys To The Entire Staff.

Halima Sharif and the legal team at Marcari, Russotto, Spencer and Balaban we’re thorough and awesome from day one. I felt very comfortable with them throughout the process. Would definitely recommend their services to anyone who suffered through a car accident as I did

My case was handled with professionalism and I have no complaints. I will recommend their services to anyone who would need assistance.

I hired Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban to represent me in a car accident that happened in 2014. My case was mishandled from the beginning from by this firm. I would never in good conscience recommend them to anyone. After having my case for years and days before my deposition-- my case was handed to a new attorney and never told to me. I should have had the option to pick my OWN attorney. After meeting the new attorney and speaking with him, it became very obvious they didn't have all of the information needed. ALL of this info had been provided by me via phone calls, releases, and emails. They were also provided the names of all my doctors, specialists, pharmacies etc but that information was NOT in my case.

My life has been changed due to this car accident that I was a PASSENGER in. The right people were never sued in the lawsuit. Deadlines went over to even attempt to sue them. A settlement that should have been MUCH more resulted in me negotiating terms with my lawyer for an embarrassingly low amount. . This barely covers the cover of medical bills and medicine over the years and has no reflection on my current health or future needs as far as treatment.

I had a hard time getting in touch with my attorney. The paralegal was unapproachable and condescending. She made it difficult to get current information about my case. I felt at times I had to make, what I felt were obvious suggestions, to my legal team and I have no law degree. My phone calls to my attorney went unanswered and I had to contact a partner, Mr. Spencer. I had to SUGGEST to my lawyer that after not hearing from my specialist for nearly a YEAR-- that he send a certified letter. The things I asked to be done for my case simply weren't done and ignored. I had 3 or 4 paralegals handling my case which resulted in missed information, missed deadlines and things not being filed.

I was told by my attorney Mr. Garland that he felt this settlement was my best offer. I'm mentally exhausted from all of this so I accepted. I will never get what I truly deserve 100% due to this practice. My attorney Michael Garland was passed down a really bad situation when he was handed such a poorly managed case. His current paralegal Michael Nystrom was the one bright light. He is phenomenal and treats you like a person and not a client.

When you hire a law firm you should be able to relax and trust they have your best interest in mind. This is NOT the case. The #1 and ONLY reason I hired this firm was for Don Marcari and his ties to the Marine Corps, as we are very affiliated with them and have many Marines in our family. This firm uses that to attract business but does not hold any of the core values that they advertise behind.

If you are a family or friend of mine I suggest staying away. If you are anyone who has NO time to micromanage your own case--- stay away. If I knew how to file a legal malpractice case I'd definitely do it because they mismanaged my case SO poorly that settling to cut all ties with this law firm seemed like my only option.

+~+~++~ After reading some of these google reviews it looks like it's a good practice. It looks like they are attentive. It appears that when they handed my case to Mr. Garland-- I never stood a chance.

I do agree that they change paralegals A LOT. I dont know if this is because of attorneys or the firm. I know I had 4 paralegals over my case the whole time. That's a lot of opportunity for holes in a case. I can still only speak to my experiences with the firm and due to that and that alone-- I'd not recommend them.

Very thorough and professional firm. Great performance from start to finish.

Very friendly people. I had a hassle free , worry free experience with them. Thank you.

Worst experience ever. My attorney Mike Garland has been disrespectful and incapable of wrapping our case up. Although, we had 1 positive experience with the firm our interactions with Mr. Garland were more than disgraceful and we would never recommend anyone here.

I have had several cases with this firm. I had David Spencer represented me for each one. His thoroughness, attention to details and consistent promptness in returning each and every call is the reason why. In addition one's assistant is the face of the company. For Mr. Spencer this is Halima. She is well worth her weight in gold. She makes you feel like your family is taking care of you. What more can a client want?

Dealing with me as a Client can be trying. The people that I had dealings with at the Law Firm were professional at all times!! I did feel at times my case was put on the back burner. In the end I found that was not true. Having never been involved in a Law Suit, I didn't understand the steps that were needed in order to come to a settlement. That is one short coming that the Law Firm needs to correct. Have a pamphlet explaining the step by step process when a Law Suit is involved. Overall I would recommend this Law Firm over others in the area.!!
A very special thank-you to Joy for all her hard work and having to deal with me(Ron Croft).

Great consulting attorneys.....They did everything. I will recommend for everyone.

I highly recommend the Law Offive of Macarri, Rosatta, & Balaban (spell✔️)! They were diligent & quite amicable

Very helpful also easy the work with.

Excellent service throughout the process. I was lucky to have had the experience of working with Halima and Linda.

Maydelia wants to thank y’all for all your help and doing a good job

I would recommend this law firm. The staff is very pleasant and takes the time to return phone calls and keep the clients well informed about their case and what going on.

Dawn Hobbs is the best wouldn't be able to make it without her!!! Thank You!!

I appreciate all the professionalism and attention that my case received from Dawn my paralegal, Jim M, Adam the attorney and Sandra the receptionist in the Raleigh office. Thank you.

Great law firm, great service, and gets results. Much appreciation to Kristin Swinson, my paralegal, for doing a superb job managing my case to a great outcome.

Mr. Spencer and Halima is amazing !! Very professional, responsive and easy to get along with. Halima did a phenomenal job informing me about the status of my case, and even helped find an affordable PT. Mr. Spencer fought for my case, explaining in clear detail about my case settlement..I would HIGHLY recommend them !Thank you for everything

They were awesome! They handled my whole family cases. I would recommend them to anyone who has had an automobile accident.

A friend recommended this law firm to me and I'm happy I hired them. The paralegal and adjuster were very good at explaining things about my case in laymen terms. The staff is responsible, attentive, and respectful. A representative came to my house to sign initial paperwork which was very convenient for me. I highly recommend this law firm.

They are an awesome team that gets the job done, very helpful, quick response time, does an awesome job representing you as a client. Though Ms. Hilla Sharif is my attorney, this is not a one person show and I'm happy & thankful they represented me. I recommend them, they get the job done!

I love my experience with this law firm. They let me know what was going with my case throughout the whole process. Mr.Voler and Mrs. Heather Boiling was awesome.!!! I will definitely use this law firm again.

Miss Martinez was very sweet , and most importantly CONCERNED throughout my whole case. She listened and got all my questions answered, followed up with me, pushed issues! Very kind through my time of distress would definitely recommend this firm! Mr. Spencer was very knowledgeable and kept me updated . Awesome!

These guys are very helpful. I would highly recommend.

I am giving Marcari, Russotto, Spencer & Balaban a five star rating because of my personal experience. The initial call was warm and helpful but my decision to continue with the firm as my legal counsel was encouraged by my paralegal Ms. Elizabeth Martinez. She supported, counseled, allowed me to been her ear the whole way through this process. She followed up with me about my medical to make sure that I was doing everything I needed to do to help me physically. It was no way just about the recovery check I really felt she cared about my well being after this is all over and I give a big thank you for that.

Everyone I spoke with from the receptionist to the adjusters were so helpful and I will advise anyone if you need legal advice or help this is the firm to go to. THANK YOU ALL

Donna J. Dixon

The staff is very professional they took my claim and handle it no different than any other client very communicative and most of all Miss Elizabeth was very informal all way through the process and I will recommend this Law Firm to anyone

Sincerely Deshawn Howard

I had a wonderful experience working with the law firm, Marcari-Russotto-Spencer!!
Lisa Martinez took on my case and was very efficient!
I couldn't have asked for a smoother case that was handled in a timely fashion and I was very pleased with the ending results.
I know in the future if I need a case taken care of this will be the law firm I'll be using :-)

My experience was wonderful. Elizabeth Martinez is by far the best, She kept me informed about my case. Elizabeth Martinez went over and beyond to make sure my case was a success. Thank you Mrs Elizabeth Martinez. You are the best. Your like a mother to me.Thank you Thank you for all your hard work settling my case. Love Demetra.
