Manipulation score
CleanCompleted Oct 10, 2026 · 11 reviews flagged
How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Wonderful, experienced and kind professionals who not only handle the task at hand, they also take the time to know you on a personal level. I am so blessed to have received a response to my request for help.

I was facing a difficult legal situation and needed help. That’s when I was introduced to Mr. Pantelis Paliura. He called me, and we spent an hour discussing the case. From the bottom of my heart, it was the most meaningful hour I’ve ever s...

My experience with Neil Fulsang is really trash. I see some people gave him a 5 or 4 star, they are lying. I believe these are Mr. Neil's workers or he paid them to give him a good review. But my experience is terrible with him. Ive been wo...

Please do not use apex they will definitely take your money and give out no results. I had Neil as my lawyer I tried getting in touch with him and he barely would respond. I paid the $1500 he asked for all upfront and after a few months of...

If you are looking for reliability and a dependable attorney, I would stay clear of Apex because the communication is non-existent. They will take your money, but after that, you are waiting around for answers you may never get regarding yo...

If I could give 0 stars I would. I contacted Apex Law with an inquiry because I had a tenant who stopped paying rent for 3 months and cut off communication. Neil initially seemed to be interested in taking the case and communicated the firs...

Good for
- Landlords or tenants seeking experienced legal help with eviction proceedings
- Clients looking for empathetic and reassuring initial consultations
- Negotiations and settlement discussions involving property disputes
Avoid if
- You require constant, direct, and proactive communication from your attorney
- You are uncomfortable paying upfront retainers before meeting or speaking extensively with the lawyer
- You need immediate, fast-paced action on an urgent legal timeline
Recent pattern — Newer reviews from late 2025 and 2026 feature a heavy cluster of 1-star warnings detailing identical grievances regarding paid retainers followed by months of silence, unanswered refund requests, and zero case progress.

I highly recommend Neil, he was very friendly and understanding. When it comes to breaking things down from legal jargon for the little guy to understand Neil was the best! I was having a hard time understanding certain tenant/Landlord and eviction legalities. After working with Neil, the issues at...

Neil Fulsang offered his time to be a judge in a Classical Conversations Challenge B Mock Trial. Neil communicated professionally and respectfully with the children throughout the trial. He was personable and children felt that they could approach him and openly share their thoughts about the trial....
