. In my current situation, nearly every review that I have written up until now has been a negative one. With over three years of dealing with the Forsyth County court system and legal professionals that were unreliable, dishonest, ineffective, and seemingly only concerned with an amount of money they could make, Attorney JEREMY SWINDLEHURST is a breath of fresh air, and should be the model of professional behavior that all members of his profession follow. I walked into Jeremy’s office mid-morning on a Friday. I came in unannounced with no appointment and I was distraught. The receptionist (also a gem) listened to my story and connected me with Jeremy. Jeremy dropped what he was doing and spoke with me at length about my case. He was patient, thorough, and gentle yet direct. He was straightforward about the good and the not so good issues of my case. He did not pretend to be able to fix everything, but instead, provided options for fixing or improving everything that he could, with an immediate regard for the most urgent issue at hand. On one of the most difficult days of my life, Jeremy was there. He spent an extensive amount of time with me, above and beyond the typical time limitations of an initial scheduled consult. Again, my consult was not even scheduled, yet Jeremy allowed me the time I needed to feel confident in my next steps before leaving his office. Furthermore, Jeremy allowed me to follow up with him after the day of the consult, without charge, to ensure my well being related to items we had discussed. I highly recommend attorney JEREMY SWINDLEHURST. He is one of few attorneys I’ve met who is dedicated to the fundamental purpose of his profession which is helping people when they are most troubled and most vulnerable. I visited three well known legal firms in Winston Salem on the day I met Jeremy. Each of those firms publicly advertise their commitment to being there in a person’s time of need, but Hartsoe and Associates was the only firm that stood behind this promise by way of JEREMY SWINDLEHURST.

This woman fights for whether you've hired her or she's be appointed to you by the court. In my case she was court appointed and she fought for me. It wasn't like the same old song and dance with her in Tazewell County by my side. I'm so confident in her abilities that I would put a lifetime of freedom on the line as long as she was in my corner cause I know she's not gonna take it sitting down but she's gonna grab the bull by the horns no matter how big he is and she'll fight until the last second!!!!

Ms. Skrinar has been such an amazing attorney for me. I have been fighting for my disability for three years, and when I finally retained Ms. Skrinar to represent me, everything changed. I learned so much from her about the process. She is extremely knowledgeable and personable, comforting me in times when I was struggling. It's nice to see an attorney who truly cares about her clients AND knows her craft impeccably!

Mr. Carpenter handled my personal injury claim. I was rear ended by a truck (semi) when driving on the freeway. The the driver's insurance denied the liability for my case. With no witnesses or none to help me prove that it was the truck driver's fault Mr. Carpenter fought to defend me. He was able to get enough for my medical bills, car, and for all the stress the I was caused. I am very happy with his services, unlike other attorneys he notified me every step of the way. I would recommend him to everyone. I want to thank Mr. Carpenter's office for their amazing work and professionalism.

Attorney Lewis was not only personable but very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to meet with me in a matter of days and then responded very quickly and diligently with appropriate and careful guidance. Legal matters are rarely ever pleasant but Attorney Lewis was able to take a grim situation and offer advice that made me comfortable and confident in the decisions I have made. Thank you Attorney Lewis for all you done.

I recently contracted with Mr. Daly to perform business law and estate planning. As the owner of a growing dental practice, I asked him to incorporate my business, as well as develop an estate plan for my family's future needs. During all steps of the process I felt that Mr. Daly had my business, family, and personal goals at the forefront of his mind. Although, this process is often intimadating and overlooked, he made it in a word "simple". His professionalism and his ability to make complex legalise understandable was very reassuring as well. I would highly recommend Mr. Daly to anyone, who is seeking similar services or like me has procastinated the resolution of such important and neccessary legal issues far too long. Finally, his correspondence and follow-up during the process was always timely, as I was on a deadline to achieve my legal goals for the beginning of the calender year. In short, I was extremly satisfied with his legal dealings and would wholeheartedly refer him to anyone seeking legal services.

Mr. Linesberry represented my dad in a 3 day long divorce trial recently. This is my first time ever writing a review about anyone or anything but I just have to. "Duke" Linesberry is by far the best attorney I have ever met. He did a spectacular job during the trial . He not only works as hard as he can he genuinely cares. We were all upset at this very stressful time but seeing how he fought for my dad and most importantly was by his side being so supportive that it actually put my dad at ease as well as all of us. I live in NY and am getting divorced I even joked I would pay any amount of money to steal him for 3 days to represent me in NY . I highly recommend Mr. Linesberry because not only is he a hard worker, he's exceptionally smart and genuinely cares

Sandra represented me in a case against a large Eastside Software Company and we satisfactorily settled out of court. Two previously retained law firms had tried to resolve this matter and failed, making matters worse. Sandra was very professional and handled the case beautifully, from picking up the case to going through mediation.

My wife and I had a great experience with Mr. Schwaba through our legal process of getting a fair settlement for personal injuries resulting from being hit by a car on a scooter.
When we contacted his office after I was injured in the accident, he responded to us by cell phone even though he was on vacation out of State. Although being very busy, he met with us immediately after returning from vacation to determine the scope of my situation and give us a summary of his experience. He explained the legal process communicated at a level we could understand. He did not pressure at all to hire him or try to escalate his legal strategy beyond what we felt comfortable but gave his professional advice when progress for a settlement with an insurance company seemed to stagnate. I was totally confident to respect his legal advice. Mr. Schwaba is very experienced and respected by colleagues. Mr. Schwaba made us feel comfortable and confident in a stressful situation. Since Mr. Schwaba is a senior attorney he had legal insights and personal experience with the insurance company and attorney we were dealing with in the settlement process. I felt confident at all times we would get a fair settlement. Mr. Schwaba was aware of all aspects of law which impacted legal strategy for us to gain a fair settlement. We would stongly recommend Mr. Schwaba and his staff to anyone they would be well represented in a difficult legal situation.
A key aspect to remember when dealing with any legal situation not to be timid to make an appointment with Mr. Schwaba for confident legal direction.

We are current clients of Mr. Rudolph and we would highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of a good man to represent them. Mr. Rudolph has been excellent in representing us in our estate and real estate cases. He is very professional, very kind, very realistic, very knowledgeable, very proficient, very down-do-earth, very attentive, and on and on... we can't say enough good things regarding this attorney. We have gone through a very difficult situation, and it has been such a blessing that we found him. He is extremely knowledgeable, and extremely kind; both of which have helped us tremendously as we have struggled through a very traumatic year. He has gone above and beyond what we would have ever expected, and he continues to do so. We are so pleased to have found this extraordinary attorney, who is also a wonderful human being. We highly recommend him.

I needed a family law attorney to bring my marriage to a close, and ensure that my daughter's best interests would be protected. As a litigation paralegal with a bit of an aggressive streak, I also needed someone to ensure that I didn't go gangbusters with motions.
Robert was above and beyond anything I could have expected. He ensured I was kept informed with what was going on, continued to encourage working toward settlement of issues that really weren't too important, and held firm regarding protecting my daughter's best interests.
In the end, we were able to settle the few issues that seemed to have led toward impasse. This positive result would not have been possible without Robert's help, and I would highly advise anyone seeking legal counsel to discuss their options with Robert. He's aggressive when necessary, but also always keeping an eye on amicable resolution - both important and very positive attributes.

Jay represented me during a 2nd DUI offense and we received a favorable outcome. I was caught driving on a suspended license afterwards and this was my 3rd DWLS 1st. I was facing 6 months in jail and losing my career. He was able to get my charged reduced to a DWLS 2nd and I received 90 days of Electronic Home Monitoring. I am still employed with my company I have been with for 5 years! Jay is very knowledgeable of DUI and DWLS defense. He always kept me in the loop and is very supportive during difficult times.

Attorney Cullen G. Sweeney is truly an honest, trustworthy and very loyal to his clients. He always returns my phone calls and answers all my questions taking time even when he is in a hurry to go to court. He has always kept me informed and updates me when I inquire. He currently represents me on a (Adam Walsh Act) and has since had me removed from the sexual offender registry (E.S.O.R.N) after The Great State of Ohio decided to make a new law that would keep me on the list for another 5 years after finishing 10 for a low end felony sex offense. I have to say he is taking my case now to the Supreme Justice's of our land to find true fairness of the law. I have served my time in jail and have had my face glued on the website and haven't had any other sexual offenses or would have never been on the list to begin with good legal counsel. Thank You Attorney Sweeney for making my life easier to breath and keep doing a great job.

I'm incredibly grateful for Larry Albrecht's services. He counseled me regarding employment-related issues and helped me achieve my desired outcome. He handled negotiations and kept me informed throughout the process. One of the benefits of hiring Larry is that he can consult the other attorneys in his firm who may specialize in a certain area. For example, when a situation arose regarding a potential workers compensation claim, Larry reached out to his colleague who is a workers comp expert for a second opinion. Larry is a very knowledgeable attorney who acts with great professionalism. I appreciated how efficiently he worked and how mindful he was of my time. He made my situation much less stressful! I believe anyone who chooses Larry, can rest assured that they are in good hands.

I was involved in a high-stakes land use issue regarding the Shorelines Management Act.
We were litigating with a landlord employing a tony downtown Seattle law firm. For face saving reasons, the manager directing their law firm left the case on autopilot. Consequently, we were litigating against their lawyer who had every incentive (besides his client's interest) to pursue every imaginable legal cul de sac.
They were outspending us almost 3 to 1 (this came out later). Even though we finally settled in the low six-figures, the final tally was pennies on the dollar for us and carnage on the other side. The settlement covered only a sliver of their legal fees and the litigation drew unwanted city attention to their property and the ways in which they were skirting the law.
Peter was great to work with. I found him well connected, well regarded and generous with his knowledge and time. He was clever, always wrestling with the case in his mind, and always cognizant of the personal dimension of a case, either regarding the client or the opponent. In this case, as well as with counsel later in several other matters, I found him pragmatic or pugnacious as circumstances warranted. In some instances, we pressed the fight, in others, we walked away. In all cases, these seemed appropriate courses even in hindsight.
When I have had further need for services, he is my first call.

He listened to what i wanted to do and did not try to get me to take a plea bargain beyond what i was willing to agree to. When the state refused to be reasonable he was ready< willing and able to take it to trial. I was charged with two second degree assaults with a deadly weapon (dollar store broomstick I was using as a walking stick), I was guilty car prowling and when the owner caught me I ran away and the guy and his son chased me but I did not even attempt to hit either one of them. He was able to suppress my irrelevant criminal history so I could testify on my own behalf. The end result was the jury found me guilty of misdemeanors. He was very honest in is professional opinion and when the state offered a 5 year deal halfway thru trial he recommended I consider it only because if I had been found guilty of the felonies I would of gotten about 20 years with all the felonies and weapon enhancements. He is a great attorney and you have to trust that he will do what he gets paid to dol

I needed an attorney for a complex case involving an insurance company refusing to pay for covered services that could have potentially resulted in the death of my daughter. I used the bar finder for Thurston County and came up with several names. I called them all, and Paul was the first one to show interest in the case and the reasons given by the insurance company.
When I first met Paul I was a little skeptical because of his age, but I was not left with a lot of choices. Paul worked with us on his fee, and understood that we were not in the best situation financially because of how much we had already payed in co-pay costs.
Since this is a Federal Based Insurance Company for Retired military personnel, the issues were convoluted, complicated, and to say the very least difficult to navigate.
We met with Paul explained the situation and retained him as our attorney. Since that time I have been nothing but completely impressed with this young man's ability.
The amount of research he did to ensure that not just the major points, but all points where the insurance company had violated the law, and the contract to provide care were covered, explained and were addressed immediately to get my daughter the care she needed.
Even though the hospital has not been paid, they understand the need and are continuing to treat my daughter based on this man's ability to fully explain the legal situation. The hospital that is treating my daughter is not involved in any negative way, and he has been in contact with them to the extent that the hospital is cooperating, even though I am sure they are leery that we may change our minds about who gets into litigation.
In short, I would say that if you judge this man simply by age, you would be missing out on a great attorney. I stand behind this review 100%, and have given Paul permission to give my name and number to prospective clients that may be unsure of his qualifications.

I contacted Mr. Rowe about copyright information, and how to obtain copyright for a digital short story and art for the e-book cover. Everything was clearly explained to me. He made sure I had a clear understanding of the answers provided to me. I would definitely return to Mr. Rowe for further help if ever needed.
