I'm going to keep this post short and simple!! I called other attorneys in the area to assist my son with a minor infraction that happened on campus but never signed a contact because it just didn't seem right. My anxiety was on an all time high...it was the holiday weekend in 2023( Thanksgiving) and I called Darren Drakes office and left a message not expecting a call back but Kellie called me back and I'm thankful she did!! She was/is amazing and was easy to talk too!! Darren is hands down the best!! Thank you guys for everything!! If you need help definitely call them!!

Paid for a 30 minute consultation for legal advice only to be misled by a false hope and given vague information about currently changing laws. Then gave a retainer of almost double the regular cost and find out on my own that her idea was mission impossible.

"I can't speak highly enough of Attorney Allan Friedman. I randomly found his page doing a Google search. The entire experience, from the first time I called him asking for help until the very end, was EXCEPTIONAL. During our first encounter, he couldn’t take my child juvenile case, but he took the time to pass on my information to one of his colleagues who could help. Being clueless, in a panic and a court appearance in a couple of days and I went with another firm. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE! I ended the contract with Ruane Law Firm (whom I paid) when my child’s case shifted to adult court; I lost complete faith. My gut and heart led me back to Attorney Friedman, who was my first choice. He immediately showed complete COMPASSION, PROFESSIONLISM, and most importantly made me feel at EASE. His approach and friendly demeanor far exceeded my expectations. His experience is INVALUABLE. I’m pleased to report our case is behind us and we received the desired outcome I prayed for. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!!

Beyond exceptional! Mr. Friedman assisted me in my first, and hopefully only, motor vehicle case. He helped make an incredibly successful case so much easier and saved me so much time and money. He was communicative, personable, respectful and caring about the entire situation. Clearly well rounded and an expert in his field, I would recommend him to anyone.

I live in Wisconsin and recently received a ticket in McHenry County, Illinois. Nold & Walsh guided me through the court process and represented me in multiple court appointments. With the guidance of Nold & Waish, I didn't have to make the trip for each court hearing. For a minimal fee, my ticket was reduced and will not reflect on my clean driving record. Of course, the State of Illinois received a generous payment from me!

I’m happy that my friends referred me to David after someone rear-ended me in a car accident. He was polite, patient, professional and always gave me a clear understanding how the process of my lawsuit was going. He wasn’t try to be like a salesman type lawyer. He was honest and told me exactly what I needed to know. I’m very pleased with the outcome of my settlement. Best referral I could ever receive.

Any Law firm can sign a case up,
but will that firm give your matter
the personal attention it deserves?
Will that firm truly fight to the bitter end?
Will they deliver superb results?
Well, I can tell you that I have worked
in the legal field for two decades with
the worst, somewhat horrible, and simply
great firms where the record speaks
for itself. The Reinken Law Firm stands out
as exceptional as I have been personally
represented by them. The services I received
were simply life changing.
To experience greatness
go with this super law firm.

There is no way for me to express how grateful I am for Ms. Sanderson’s help and service. She is truly a gift sent from god, she truly cares and will go out of her to take care of her clients and stand by your side. People like her are what give me faith in the American justice system because you can always count on her to do her best by you. She saved my life and I owe my second chance at life to her. If I can give her 10 stars I would, if you’re looking for council that you can trust to have your best Interest at heart, Ms. Sanderson is who I would recommend.

I recently hired Matt Karr and his team to assist me with getting Mass Health for my brother. I did my due diligence in researching many firms that just specializes in this area, and made my decision to go with Heritage and am so glad I did! It can be a very daunting and overwhelming process to say the very least and could have never done on my own. They are extremely knowledgeable of all the nuances and intricacies involved in the ever changing process of these laws! The ParaLegal Kelly is amazing and knows everything there is to know about Mass Health and the application process. She is very thorough as well as patient in answering any questions I had and I had ALOT! Whenever I was stressed she would put me at ease in explaining the process in a way I would understand. I would highly recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them in the future!

When searching for lawyers for my fathers DUI case, I came across several lawyers but from the few that I spoke with over the phone or in person, no one came close to David. From start to finish he was so kind, understanding and responsive! When meeting with him I truly appreciated his honesty and expertise regarding options and knew that we would be in good hands moving forward with him. He is very knowledgeable about the Anoka court system and was very patient and in explaining the process with my father and I. In the end the case was able to be dismissed! We are very happy with the outcome and working with David. We always got latest updates throughout the process and communication was top notch! I can’t recommend him and his team enough!!

I was impressed by Matt's expertise. He handled my case with professionalism and achieved an outstanding result.
Matthew was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He put me at ease throughout the legal process.
As i write this review so you have my most sincere thanks for the most professional representation. You have stuck by me through the years as a friend, and in the time it took dealing with this very stressful case.
I think the time you took with me and my questions was far more than any other attorney would spend with me, and I really appreciated it. I could not have asked for better representation, and working with you, Matthew was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult, painful event in my life. Thank you to you and your firm for your help.

I was referred to Matthew Buttacavoli (my lawyer) by a friend who heard about how the lawyers at Minyard Morris know how to protect women/new mothers experiencing divorce. And I’m so grateful for this!! I went in to meet Matthew B for a consult – and he met me well prepared and with a team of knowledgeable and highly-courteous team members and staff. During the consult I quickly learned that not only does Matthew B really knew the ins-and-outs of family law.. but most importantly that he would be able to provide empathy and a commitment for my case. Over the course of the divorce process Matthew B remembered almost every detail, was very clear and concise in his communications, and was especially responsive in a way that I knew I was in good hands and that someone was truly advocating for me and my 1 year-old child. Matthew B has a strong moral compass, is great with the courts (he’s a natural speaker while in front of a judge), has experience in/knows how to approach almost every scenario, and communicates firmly with the other party’s lawyers. I am so grateful that Matthew Buttacavoli is here at Minyard Morris in Orange County - and truly feel like him and his team were my guardian angels/army/protectors throughout my entire process.

I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff. I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of mo ey with other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have save me anxiety, time and money. Don’t make the same mistake.

Where do i start? Amazing Law Firm and let me just say how professional Robert Swensen was with me, told me everything that was going to happened and how it was going to happened. He even went over and Beyond the call of duty, when I called him after hours he picked up and spoke with me, I don’t get that from lawyers, I usually get the answer machine and wait 2-3 business to get a response, but Robert was different he was on my case as soon as he got it in front of him. he always helped me with question and concerns I had. I was very confident and comfortable with Mr. Swensen, and they also have multiple ways to pay, which was very convenient for me. If you need a law firm, THE COOK LAW FIRM IS THE WAY TO GO. Wait no more they are QUICK AND HONEST and will get the job done ✅ Thank You 🙏 so much for helping me with my Divorce Mr. Swensen

I cannot express enough gratitude for Ilya Frangos at Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos, LLP. He was my lawyer during one of the most difficult times in my life after I suffered a dog bite to my lip. What started as a traumatic and painful experience was made bearable thanks to Ilya's unwavering support, guidance, and compassion.
From our very first meeting, I knew I was in the right hands. Ilya was not just a lawyer; he became a trusted ally and someone I could truly rely on. He listened with empathy, treated me with kindness, and never once made me feel like just another client. Every time I felt overwhelmed by the legal process, llya was there to reassure me and walk me through each step, with patience and clarity. His dedication was deeply moving, he truly cared about my well-being, both emotionally and physically.
Thanks to Ilya's expertise and relentless effort, we were able to reach a resolution that brought me a sense of justice and closure. I am forever grateful to him for turning such a painful situation into one where I felt empowered and heard.
If you're looking for someone who will fight for you with heart and skill, I wholeheartedly recommend llya Frangos. He is an incredible attorney and an even better human being.

What stood out the most was Attorney Diamond's unwavering honesty. He never hesitated to provide candid advice and realistic expectations, which built a strong foundation of trust. It was clear that my best interests were always at the forefront of his efforts.
Michael Diamond exceeded my expectations by a mile! His dedication and expertise not only met by far surpassed what I had hoped for. The outcome of my case was better than I could have imagined thanks to his hard work and commitment.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Tanya Sanscartier from Happ Law Group during my divorce case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Despite other firms saying there wasn't enough time for my case, Happ Law Group didn't hesitate to take me on as a client. Tanya was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Tanya took the time to understand my situation (which involved a divorce case spanning two states), provided clear guidance, and always kept me informed. Her expertise and dedication to my case ensured a fair outcome, and I felt supported every step of the way. Furthermore, Tanya’s ability to balance the necessary legal procedures with cost efficiency ensured that I received excellent representation without unnecessary expenses. I highly recommend Tanya and Happ Law Group to anyone in need of an outstanding family law attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher Fiorentino of Fiorentino Legal, P.C. following a vehicle accident, and I can't recommend him highly enough. After feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn for representation, I found Chris through a Google search and decided to give him a chance. That decision was the best one I made.
Throughout the entire process, Chris was incredibly attentive, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. His clear communication and dedication gave me confidence, and I felt fully supported during what could have been a stressful experience. Not only did he represent me well, but he also helped me understand the legal process and kept me in the loop from start to finish.
If you're looking for a lawyer you can trust, Chris is your guy. You won’t regret choosing him. While I hope I don’t need legal representation again, if I do, Chris will always be my go to attorney, and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Chris helped my mom out with a claim against an insurance company for an injury she suffered from a car accident.
Chris was able to explain the process to her with exceptional detail, and never made her feel like she was asking stupid questions.
He set appropriate expectations, so that we knew what to expect and followed through with his promise and his commitment.
His hard work and dedication to his service, along with his years of experience in the law showed while working with my mother and inevitably led to a very favorable settlement with the insurance company.
After his work with my mother, I continue to recommend his services to my friends and family should they need legal counsel or assistance and I’ll continue to recommend him.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?

What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -

Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
