Galbreath Costner, LLC

3.9(152)✓ Google-verified

Recent five-star reviews praise the firm's professionalism and staff responsiveness, particularly naming Christian as exceptional at client care. However, a significant cluster of older one-star reviews document serious issues: unresponsiveness to emails, missed deadlines for post-closing payments, documentation errors, rushed closings, and staff described as rude or dismissive. The mixed rating (3.9 across 152 reviews) reflects this split.
