“Mr. Black can post on Facebook but can't return messages.”

“Charles Black has checked out on our family. We have been waiting since March of this year for original documents that were signed with Charles Black, at his Columbia office. While we have "copies" of these Durable power of attorney documents, he has not made good on giving us the original, notarized documents. Even if they have been lost, it would be good to hear back, with honesty, and understand why he won't make us whole on services already paid for. To get the other four original documents, we had to request them he quickly "ran over" to the office and had his assistant print out copies. There was no binder or book of organized estate documents. He also requested the payment of over $3,000 PRIOR to the work being fully recorded and originals delivered to us. We now feel foolish for trusting this firm with promises made of "we will deliver to you this week." That was in March! I have screenshots showing what he promised to us, and has never corresponded again. It is now July. He will not return emails or get back to us. This is very unprofessional, even though he was great to work with "up front," prior to money being exchanged. Buyer beware.”

“Attorney Charles Black Jr is about as UNPROFESSIONAL Attorney I have Ever Dealt with... No Follow-Up; has Engaged in Condut that EXTREMELY QUESTIONABLE... DO NOT TRUST this Attorney too Handle Your ESTATE; has HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE "ADMINISTRATIVE METHODS"...”

“They are not forth coming with any information. Have requested information multiple times from the executor over the estate for my grandfathers affairs and from this law office and they have done nothing but tell us they are no longer handling the estate but they still represent the executor. We were told we could reach out to this law office and get any information that we needed and we have received the absolute bare minimum. They should list helping an executor commit fraudulent activity on an estate account as specialty.”
