The decision to get a divorce was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make. There is a roller coaster of emotions that go along with making the decision. Most notably is the fear of not knowing how it will affect your time with your children or how it will impact you financially. Another important factor was the fear of being judged for your decision. Once the decision was made I was referred to the law offices of Hostak, Henzl & Bichler by a friend. I set my first appointment up with Jen and immediately knew that I was in a safe place. My best interest and the interest of my kids was going to be her priority. Once the process was started she kept me informed every step of the way. If I had a question about something she was quick to get back to me with an answer. All important court dates were set up immediately, and I was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel very early on in the process. The same level of support continued after everything was finalized. Jen continued to help me through the allocation of property process until everything was complete. Professional, hardworking, and compassionate are words that I would use to describe Jennifer Hemmer. I strongly recommend giving her a call if you find yourself with a difficult situation and all that is stopping you is fear of the process.

Was great in helping us understand the laws and helped us in picking the best course of action to move forward with our case. In our case she help with some ground work and Legal intel and indirectly referred us to district attorneys office and even check in with us throughout the case. In my opinion she was both consulted and hired up to handing case over. With her help we moved forward and won our case in court.

Attorney Hemmer is an excellent attorney and one that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of legal advice or representation. She took the time to fully understand my case, explained things in a clear and concise manner, and kept me informed throughout the process. Attorney Hemmer is very thorough and well-organized. She has a genuine passion for her clients and their well-being. Her professionalism and in-depth knowledge of the law were demonstrated to me throughout the process. Attorney Hemmer was very responsive and available whenever I had questions or needed her assistance. She is also a very pleasant and approachable person to work with.

We had the pleasure of working with April King on our Estate plan in developing a Will and Trust for us. April was very thorough and detailed on the administrative interview, finding out our wishes and goals for our Estate and heirs so that she could cover all contingencies that may occur. She made suggestions that we had not thought of and created scenarios that helped us in clarifying our desires in managing our estate. April contacted us numerous times through the process to clarify, explain and suggest alternative directives. We had gone to a few Estate Planning seminars put on by larger estate planning firms but felt it was too much of a boiler-plate approach and processed like a “trust mill” where we would not get the detailed individual service we desired. We were very pleased with the individual service and the attention to detail April provided. I would highly recommend April King for estate planning needs. Jim & Lucy

From my first consultation with Annabelle in 2020 to receiving my German citizenship almost four years later, I had an excellent experience working with her. While I had low hopes initially of regaining citizenship by descent, Annabelle's knowledge and thorough questions helped establish a clear path. She guided me through every step of my application including obtaining century-old family documents, and set appropriate expectations given covid-related delays. She was always responsive and professional, and made the long process very smooth. I am extremely grateful to her for making a lifelong dream come true.

So I lived in a really really really bad neighborhood ran by some incredibly currupt,shady and just down right petty slum Lord scum bags that were trying to unlawfully evict me. He used excellent outside the box tactics to compel the best possible results to my case. It really was epic honestly my lack of sleep due to stress was a blessing because watching the man work it'd be very hard to not react like the audience of a roast who just witnessed a really good burn. Now im happy to say that iv gotten everything lined up and paid for to move well before deadline to a very very nice spot and I'll definitely recommend him to anyone needing any kind of litigation and honestly would love to watch this attorney and see how he does other cases because he's got some moves it really was truly impressive. Thanks sir for your help I have my own parking space dude!!!!!

Going through a divorce is not the time period where my head was clearest or my manners the most polite. I needed time without getting hit with a lot of calls.
Steve was available to me and not the other way around. This meant so much at a time not much respect was coming my way. When I needed him he would meet after hours and work on my case for as long as needed.
Steve is an attorney who is absolutely present when working on your case with you. He is very open and aware of the amount of time each different option will take, will cost.

I used Curt Covington to represent me on a case where I had a Company out of Emory who built my Metal Building. This is the most Knowledgeable Attorney I have ever used for a construction legal case. Now like most people I could say I was shocked at my legal fees, BUT this man and firm was worth ten times what they charged me. They were well prepared, professional and got me a more than a fair settlement for this case. If you want results, you are calling a professional law firm that gets results. Would I use them again? Absolutely because they showed me, they walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They do many different kinds of cases, but if you're looking to sleep at night without stress you have arrived. Thank you, Curt, for all your professional support on winning this case and getting all my legal fees paid. May God continue to bless you, your family and all at this Lawyer firm. SC

Jenn is an absolute wonder. She and her staff helped me through my mother's estate and setting up my own families trust. It's hard to find someone to trust with your assets, but after extensive research and reading reviews (plus - gut instinct) - it was a homerun. Jen returns calls and messages that same day or in some cases within minutes. Don't know how many people actually know about the work that goes into estate planning and setting up a family trust - It's a lot... 'trust' me. Jen went over every aspect of what the whole process encompasses. Sometimes it gets confusing, but she understands that it's a lot to take in and doesn't have any problem going over things with you again.
Thank You Jenn for your time and patience ;)

Wow. Awesome. Caring. Compassionate. Responsive. Innovative. Proactive. Involved.
These are words that do not begin to describe my experience with the organization and with all I have interacted. Upon the recommendation of trusted financial and legal professionals, my wife embarked on the journey to create a trust encompassing complicated personal and business components, which has turned out to be one of her best moves. Faced with a multitude of complexities, the firm has been able to put my daughter, our business interests, and myself in a comfortable, protected, and secure position upon her passing. Thanks to their efforts, we are all able to proceed and enjoy the fruits of my wife’s innovative and creative spirit.

We conferred with Jen about drawing up our wills. We had definite ideas about how we wanted our affairs handled, but we didn't think we needed a Trust. Just a simple will. Jen was very patient and explained that what we wanted to do was exactly what a Trust was designed to do. Still, we just wanted a simple will. Jen did not press us and continued to try and make our wishes work with just a simple will. As we worked together, we began to see that she was right and eventually established a Living Trust. We have so much peace of mind now knowing that when the time comes, our affairs will be handled according to our wishes. I really appreciate Jen's patience and ability to explain things.

We hired Ms. Whisenant to set up a trust that lays out a specific plan protecting our daughter (and anticipated second child) in the unlikely event of our deaths. Ms. Whisenant was clear with her explanations of how the trust would function and what our options were, helping us choose what worked the best for our situation.
We found her to be very personable as well as efficient, organized, and responsive. Her knowledge and abilities were invaluable in setting up the trust so that we can be assured that our children will be cared for no matter what.

Paige and James are an incredible team! I was in a very complicated and uncertain predicament both financially and legally. I had a tragic situation that took my father's life, my mom was extremely ill and living in an outragelously expensive nursing home. I had met with 4 estate planning attornies before I found Paige and James and every single one basically told me there was nothing they could do for me. (and charged me a lot to tell me no and nothing!!) I was an emotional mess, exhausted and confused. I called a 5th attorney who couldn't help me because she didn't handle Lake County, but referred me to James Siebert. I met with James and Paige to discuss my situation. They didn't tell me no, they said maybe and we will have to see. They gave me multiple options to my senairos and advised me on what they felt was the best way to handle each issue I was faced with. I listened to them, I did what they suggested. Fast forward almost two years later and the outcome was more than I had ever hoped for. I am so grateful for them. They truly are amazing, both as compassionate people and legal experts. I give them the highest recommendation.

Based on my experience, The Law Office of James C. Siebert & Associates, P.C. has extensive knowledge and resources in the practice of elder law, will listen to your concerns, evaluate your individual situation, and determine how to best meet your needs.
I reached out to James for legal help after years of caring for my mother with Alzheimer's at home while also dealing with my Parkinson's. James was quick to assess our situation and present options from which to create a plan of action to meet our immediate and future needs.
James directed our assembly of required documentation from multiple sources for previous five years, advised on and supervised sale of our rental house, and coordinated tax planning for maximum financial benefit. He recommended options for distribution of funds, including gifting and special needs trusts applicable to my mother and myself, that allowed for immediate additional assistance to my mother and provided for my future disability needs. James was also successful in filing Medicaid application for my mother. Based on his experience, plus his direction and help in assembling supportive documents, the result was quick approval of Medicaid benefits.
I highly recommend James C. Siebert as a knowledgeable, experienced elder law attorney who will provide a personal response and legal action to meet your unique needs

Cristin was referred to me by the title company I do business with. I am a Realtor and really need an attorney who will follow through and is very responsive.

Ive had the absolute best experience with Yangkyoung. She treats you like family and will fight for you. She is determined and focused and really does care for you as a client. She gives her all to represent you and she really gave attention to my case. She invests a lot of time and energy to my case and I feel confident in having her represent me. She is extremely attentive and answers all my questions that I have throughout the litigation process. I am extremely happy with her services and grateful I have her to fight such a good fight for me. No matter what she never gives up and does an amazing job in doing so. She is a very strong attorney and it shows with her work representing me. You can be assured that Yangkyoung will be on top of every single aspect of your case at all times as she was with mine.

Yangkyoung gave me light when things were very dark and hard. Initially I was hesitant to hire Yangkyoung and went and got few more consultations with other attorneys. I’m so glad I decided to go with her.
She is very honest and kind. I completely trust her words as she says things the way it is and it will be.
But absolutely can prepare you for anything. She provided instruction on what I need to do in order to schrage the best possible outcome with my case.
I feel that her heart is warm but mind is sharp.
She even took the time to answer questions that had nothing to do with the case I hired her for.
I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Where to start? How about the beginning... My wife and I started a family late in life and only now were financially able to purchase our first home together. Being a huge financial decision, we also decided it was time to create our wills should the unfortunate happen to one or both of us. We wanted to protect our survivor and our now 20-year-old child.
For months we surfed in the internet and asked various friends for advice, not necessarily asking them for referrals. This is our private business and we treated it as such. We wanted to make our own decisions, not be overly influenced by others. We happened to come upon GAWTP in Marietta and read up on them, doing some research at various professional online sites too. After comparing them to other possibilities, I decided to give them a call for a free consult. The administrative/office assistant, Rachel, was very pleasant, and seemed to appreciate my whacky self-deprecating sense of humor and we hit it off (good sign). She took down the necessary information and told me to expect a call from one of the firm's attorneys in the very near future.
Well, sure enough, within a day I was speaking to Amanda Riedling, WOW...!!! She just hit it out of the park. Unassuming, pleasant, cheerful, and eager. I like that last one best. She explained in not too boring detail (lol) what to expect and that was all it took. She just made these life decisions seem simple. She and her team would do the dirty work, all we had to do was supply them with various details. Done deal. I hired them.
We scheduled an online meeting and went over all the pertinent options clients, such as us, could face. We are far from being considered wealthy. Not on fixed income yet, but getting closer every day (lol). I was supplied with links to video tutorials on not only what to expect, but how to best make the decisions themselves. Wonderfully done! Kudos to Dawn.
We've since visited their office in downtown Marietta, signed our documents, had them witnessed, and actually enjoyed the entire process from start to finish. We even took our new puppy with us!
You'd think making these types of decisions would be rather agonizing and maybe stressful since they are about the end of life, however Amanda was so caring, sensitive to our needs, easy-going, so heartwarming, we just felt like we mattered. My wife and I made a great decision. You can too.

Since It had been 19 years since we had our wills, POAs, and ADs drawn up and in that time our attorney had retired and transferred our files, with our permission, to another attorney – we decided it was time to update our documents. Our only problem was the attorney that had our files was no longer in practice. A diligent search for a new law firm was begun and after reviewing numerous firms and their reviews, my wife and I chose Georgia Wills, Trusts, & Probate Law Firm LLC. It was a good choice. One phone call, identifying what we wanted to accomplish; a “Zoom” meeting introducing Amanda Riedling, Partner, to confirm our goals and another to review and confirm the contents of the draft documents she had presented so the final documents could be created, followed by a meeting at the office to sign the final documents. Amanda was great to work as were the other members of her team. They made you feel “at home” from the first phone call through the signing and beyond.

She also supplemented our introduction to the process with multiple videos that her partner Ms. Dawn Levine had produced. A top notch lawyer and law firm!

My wife and I needed to revise our estate planning documents, because since our last documents were executed we had moved to Georgia, our adult daughter had become disabled, and the tax laws had changed. Allison was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained the documents we would need. She also asked our preferences and offered suggestions on how to include them in our estate plan. When the drafts were provided to us, Allison took the time to explain each of the documents and answer our questions when the legal phrasing was somewhat unclear to us. She guided us through the Power of Attorney and Medical Directive drafts and explained the possible outcomes of the choices available to us. She also provided a cover letter which not only included a summary of our bequest preferences but also how best to achieve those preferences. Included with the cover letter were instructions on how to title ownership in our accounts and assets in Georgia so our preferences were more readily accomplished upon our demise and what title changes would be necessary when the first of us dies. Lastly, she suggested non-legal documents we may want to prepare to assist our executors, trustees, and beneficiaries in carrying out and explaining our final wishes. Allison is a very pleasant person with whom to work, and we highly recommend her.

Allison helped me with my estate planning after my recent divorce. She was able to explain things in an easily understandable way and was very patient with my questions throughout the process. Allison is very attentive to her clients and responds very quickly to any communication attempts. I felt like she gave me the same attention she would be giving to much more complex and involved cases. I value greatly working with someone who listens closely and respectively to whatever I have to say and Allison is excellent at that. She is a true professional in every way.

I hired Keeley’s law firm to initially compose legal documentation to split my deceased father’s estate, as directed by the San Diego County Administrator. After research, Keeley informed me that in her legal opinion I was entitled to the entire estate. I was eventually awarded my fathers entire estate, valued at $1,000,000. One year after the case closed Keeley called to inform she found an additional bank account valued at $100,000. She is not only a highly skilled, competent lawyer but also a wonderful person. Working with her was a true pleasure.

I was very fortunate to have Allison’s expertise in guiding me through the living will estate planning process, including updating my will and POA, after recently going through a life-altering situation.
As a single mom, I was quite concerned about the impact to my children if something were to happen to me so it was important to have my affairs in order, and my mind at ease.
Allison took the time to listen, offered great insight, and explained every step of the process in a clear and concise manner which allowed me to carefully think about the choices I needed to make now that could affect my children in the future.
Allison was very patient, organized and knowledgeable. The office staff was professional, yet very kind, at all times. Everyone at Floman DePaola who assisted me during this process truly helped make a stressful undertaking seem less daunting.

We needed an attorney to review our elderly mother's estate planning documents, as they haven't been reviewed in almost 15 years. Allison, from the initial contact through the signing of new documents, was incredibly prompt in her responses, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She reviewed our paperwork at no cost, and then made some recommendations for us.
We hired Allison to draft a Power of Attorney and a new Health Care Directive, as the laws have changed quite a bit over the past 10 years or so.
The cost was very reasonable but more importantly, Allison's "bedside manner" with my mother was nothing short of fantastic. Sensitive to how this type of planning can affect some elderly people, Allison made it VERY easy for our mother to understand what she was signing and why. She showed compassion, understanding and above all, patience.
Without question, I would recommend this attorney (and her staff) to anyone who needs estate planning or really any planning for that matter where a lawyer that actually knows law, is needed.
We are thrilled to have found Allison, and we will use her from now on for any and all attorney/client needs.

Attorney O’Connor is a very compassionate attorney. She listens to my concerns and the history of my case and grasped a full understanding of what I needed done to move my case forward. She educated me on the legal process and I was always aware of what the next steps were. Her assistant, Chyrl, is very kind and communicative. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I would recommend Brandon Law to anyone looking for family/custody issues.

At the start of the year in 2020 and during the start of the scare of COVID19, I had the added burden of defending a divorce petition. After contacting Attorney O’Connor, I felt I was in good hands.
Having to go through a most challenging and stressful divorce proceeding which lasted almost two years, I became more confident there was no better person to have guided and lawyered me through the ordeal than Attorney O’Connor.
Thanks to her legal guidance and professionalism, I was able to sustain the enormous pressure and instead of caving in, I eventually prevailed in the case.
I highly recommend Attorney Tanya O’Connor for your legal troubles. During a harrowing two-year legal battle, she brought me through it with peace of mind.

We have been blessed to know attorney Scott Rogers of Peters Law Firm in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for more than 6 years. His guidance and compassion have been immeasurably valuable to us.
Our parents were reasonably independent and living in their own house, thanks to frequent visits, meal preparations, housework, errands, and facilitating trips to doctors by their daughter Jeannine who lived an hour away. Mom had Alzheimer’s disease, so Dad did his best to handle her medications. Our Dad was secretive about their financial affairs, so we had very limited knowledge about their powers of attorney, wills, investments, and preferences for potential future living arrangements.
Then at the end of 2014, Dad suffered his second broken hip from which he was never to fully recover. What had been some cognitive and memory problems collapsed into obvious dementia. Due to the severity of his physical and mental condition, and our Mom’s worsening Alzheimer’s disease, the doctors at the hospital would not release Dad until we had found a skilled nursing facility for both our parents.
It was then that we contacted our parents’ attorney, Scott Rogers. Scott immediately stepped up to bat for us as we were thrust into the labyrinth of decisions and actions we needed to take on behalf of our parents. He continually guided us through the process of making the best possible decisions for our parents, and through the actions needed to initiate those decisions. He helped us locate and act on their durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, wills, and trust documents. He was always there for us as we decided on our parents’ future living arrangements, found the best skilled nursing care for them, pulled assets from their accounts to pay their bills, arranged for the sale of their house and cars, and prevented them from driving. As our Dad and then our Mom eventually passed away, Scott provided critical advice and guidance in handling their affairs. We also greatly appreciate Scott’s personal support, even to the extent of a funeral home visitation upon our Dad’s death.
Scott has been God sent. Without him, we would not have known what questions to ask, let alone how to answer them. His professional guidance, his personal compassion, and his overall support were far more than we expected. In the strongest terms possible, we highly recommend attorney Scott Rogers.

Danny Adelman represented me on a medical malpractice case. Throughout the entire process Danny was very caring, supportive, and respectful of my injuries. He thoroughly explained things and was willing to personally answer my phone calls and meet with me. Danny and his team genuinely care and helped guide my family and I through stressful times. I never felt alone. I highly recommend the firm of Adelman German.

My attorney and consigliare for 39years Preston Cain retired. I had a situation, I requested his honor to "set matters aside" on a guilty plea 2 weeks earlier. Ms. Simpson accepted the case on site, had a plan, did exactly what she said she would and I did what she asked of me. I don't do "maybe get" or "think I can" or "Dont think that's possible". As my council the lady is half a head above the rest and she doesn't even know it! Only one..not a complaint but she needs to stand up when questioning, She has PRESENCE and Confidence she does not utilize. And love the dogs in the office!

Matthew Quick is by far the best lawyer we've ever had the pleasure of working with. Our situation was complicated and highly unusual, so his detailed, thorough analysis of all the options was immensely helpful, as was his ability to explain the options clearly to us. The information he provided not only helped us make informed decisions, but gave us peace of mind when we needed it the most. He was very responsive, replying promptly to our emails even on weekends or off hours, and looked for ways to keep our expenses as low as possible. Thanks to Mr. Quick's intelligence, efficiency, and pleasant personality, a situation which could have been extremely stressful was resolved without difficulty. He is an outstanding lawyer, and we can't recommend him highly enough!

As a Realtor that works with dozens of attorneys, I am slow to post good reviews. Matthew helped fill gaps in communication and became my go-to resource for updates on the transaction. I'm going to recommend him to our 'trusted' list for our office of 100 agents!

Andrea was very helpful to us to design an estate plan and a new revocable living trust that updated our decade old family Trust and so many associated documents. Her Elder Law expertise added additional provisions to protect us in the case of any medical issues. As we went through this process, Andrea communicated every detail to us thoroughly. And she answered our many questions with respect.

Andrea and her team did a great job of helping us update our trust and create an estate planning portfolio. We don't live in southern California, but wanted to have Andrea do our trust because she lives near our daughter, who is the executrix of our trust. That put an extra burden on her office, but they handled it well, and we are happy with the end product.

I am a CPA that frequently prepares income tax returns for estates and trusts. Patrick is the outstanding attorney who has prepared wills and trusts for my family. He also handled my mother's probate in a thorough and efficient way. I have referred numerous clients to Patrick, and they have always been pleased. The estate plan that he creates includes important explanatory materials, as well as, additional copies of living wills that can be provided to medical practices, as needed.

McCall was a breath of fresh air for my grandfather's Mississippi probate after another attorney fumbled our affairs multiple times. She was diligent, professional, and very thorough from day one which provided us with much peace. In court (9/2023), she was no less meticulous and I could see that we were in good hands. I am not easily impressed, but she certainly earned these expressions of praise and so much more. We're so grateful to have her on our team!

We were referred to Nikki by another of her clients after reaching out to three other attorneys in the area to draft a family trust. Nikki was by far the friendliest and most responsive. It was a pleasure meeting with her about estate planning as she made it all very understandable and affordable. We feel much more at ease knowing she's handled everything and can assist in the future.

Nikki was hired by me to deal with an unpleasant situation with my "landlord", which is actually a larger management company. Through no fault of my own, my apartment had been uninhabitable for nearly a month, and I could barely get them to acknowledge me. She sprang to action on my behalf immediately, never once backing down. In her interactions with my landlord, she somehow managed to be courteous yet authoritative and was quite effective in her communications. On a personal level, Nikki was knowledgeable, empathetic, responsive, reassuring, and exceedingly patient with me, continually going above and beyond what I ever could have asked or expected of her. She ensured that I knew that she was in my corner, and that she was dedicated to making things right for me. Not only did Nikki prevail for me, she took a weight off of my shoulders when I felt lost, alone, and ignored. She is not just a reputable, experienced lawyer whom I would hire again in an instant, but a truly special person as well. 100% recommend!

I first hired Nikki Allen to get her help an issue concerning my father’s trust, of which I am a beneficiary. The trustee we had in place turned out to be engaged in illegal activity. Nikki quickly took control, had the trustee removed, and has been involved with me every step of the way since. There is no trust, real estate or probate matter that Nikki could not be an asset to. Working with Nikki on my father’s trust, made me realize that I needed to create a trust and redo the wills for my own family’s assets. Nikki worked with me to make sure that everything was put together according to my needs. I was extremely happy with the finished product. I can not recommend the work of Nikki Allen highly enough.

Sara helped our family successfully navigate a difficult and divisive time at the end of my mother’s life. She is a consummate professional with a breadth of experience (I believe she’s seen it all!), knowledge, and understanding. Sara ensured that mom’s wishes were respected and when mom developed dementia, skillfully shielded her from a relative who was seeking to take advantage. Sara is clear and direct but, at the same time, kind and compassionate. Sara’s knowledge of the law and her caring approach set her apart. I absolutely recommend her without reservation.

Since my father had not left a will when he passed, what little I knew about estates was that I would need help with my father's. I contacted Sara by phone and we spoke briefly and set an appointment to speak in person. Sara was not the first attorney I spoke with but the first to interview with me. At the interview I explained why I needed her help, I also showed my limited knowledge of what was before me. By the end of the interview Sara agreed to help me through the probate process. In the following months Sara worked on my behalf with the court and advised me what was expected of me as the administer of the estate. Through the whole process there were times I felt overwhelmed with the "business" of settling his estate and sometimes became quite emotional over my personal loss. But, with kind words and a firm direction Sara kept me on track and focused. I guess that's why attorneys are called counselors. Finally, with Sara's continued support and guidance, things were at an end and the estate was dissolved. There are things that happen in life that happen to other people and you think, that's too bad. But when one of those things happens to you you think, how will I get through this. I don't know how things would have turned out with someone other than Sara, I don't need to think about it. Sara was the best possible attorney for me to have helping me with her hard work, her knowledge and experience and her empathy. I plan on having Sara help with my estate planning since having experienced this ordeal once, I do not want to leave something like this to my loved ones.

Top marks! Sara has been my attorney for the past 24 years and I am forever grateful to the person who recommended her when I was first in need. Always on top of things, always ready with advice or direct action on my behalf. Plus, she is funny, unflappable, gracious and generous in spirit. She's my attorney but also my friend.
