If you need a quality, fierce and tenacious lawyer with strong ethics and morals - hire John and team. No doubt the best legal team here or anywhere. I was suddenly and severely injured due to extreme negligence requiring immediate surgery, follow-up surgery with a year of painful physical therapy in and more to come. Never sued anyone before but there was no choice other than hire a strong lawyer. John Phebus is outstanding at getting exceptional results, timely and fair. John and Holly had my back when my active athletic life was turned upside down. Thank you both, and I mean this in the nicest way - I hope I never need you again but am very proud to call you friend.

Always professional, courteous, extremely efficient, and very helpful with any questions or concerns. Mr Wolfe, handled my case with care and always kept me up to date on it’s status from the day it opened until it closed. Couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Perez Law Group has an amazing team. Erika was on top of everything from day one. She kept us informed through every step and process. Cristina Perez was amazing as well and also walked us through every step of getting our settlement. Would definitely recommend Perez Law Group as they didn’t just settle and fought for what we deserved. Thank you to everyone at Perez Law Group for doing everything you possibly could for my family and I.

If you are facing a lawsuit, I highly recommend you choose Brad Thies for your legal representation. That’s what I did and I’m so grateful he was my attorney. Brad is an experienced litigator who kept me fully informed throughout the entire process. He is very reassuring, professional, and highly competent. He clearly explained the details of the case against me and developed an effective plan for a favorable outcome on my behalf.

I had an excellent experience with the Zubkoff Law Firm. My wife and I needed help navigating the green card process, and I had only a two-week deadline to submit all my paperwork. Zubkoff Law Firm made the entire process stress-free. They immediately got to work, and within a week, we were able to submit everything on time. Their professionalism and expertise made a huge difference. After just three months of our case being pending, I was approved for my work visa. The speed, efficiency, and care with which they handled everything were truly impressive. I highly recommend the Zubkoff Law Firm to anyone going through the immigration process!

Zubkoff Law’s services have been unparalleled in value. I was very fortunate to be referred to their offices by a friend from the military and Kelsey’s team has far surpassed my expectations. Being apart from my wife for a needlessly long period of time was very distressing for us both and availing ourselves of ZL’s services reunited us and saw my wife’s green card approval in less than one year. Pricing was impressively fair, considering the wait and arduous screening process we were able to bypass. We were treated with respect and kept in the loop for the entirety of the approval process. Zubkoff Law is also very accommodating of out-of-state clients. For a recently-married couple in the kind of time-sensitive circumstances like ours, the return on our investment has been hundredfold. I would unhesitatingly recommend Zubkoff Law to anybody in a similar pinch to our own. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Kelsey, Christine, Allen, and the rest of the Zubkoff team!

I'd say her work went above and beyond our expectations. Plus, the process was so easy because most of the work is done virtually! HIGHLY recommend, and will be using her for our business needs in the future!

When you've never even met the lawyer and live on the other side of the United States, but feel highly compelled to leave him an EXCELLENT rating, then you know you're doing so for the BEST lawyer Phoenix, AZ has to offer. There's a show on Netflix called The Lincoln Lawyer (also a movie from 2011), but there is also a real-life "Lincoln Lawyer" in Phoenix named Gil Hacohen. Mr. Hacohen was hired by my son on what seemed a losing battle child paternity/custody case wherein my son was going up against a gilded, grisly family. "Lawyers for Less" sounded like a long shot for my son, but affordable enough to try. There's a quote that states, "It's not how much money you have that's relevant, but whether you feel rich." Mr. Hacohen, aka Lincoln Lawyer, has been working for my son as if my son has paid him millions!! He got my son his baby boy back, through all the lies and deceit on the other side. There's only been one hearing and Mr. Hacohen made it happen in 30 minutes. My son has his son back! If/when this goes to trial, which I pray it does, I will return to leave my follow-up EXCELLENT review. To you, Mr. Lincoln Lawyer, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!! You've no idea the impact you've made thus far. Do NOT hesitate to contact and retain Mr. Hacohen!!!

My wife and I found Paula because my work offers a Will as part of my benefits package. After speaking with several people, it was clear that Paula knew her stuff. We were pleasantly surprised after our initial online meeting. Paula spent time to get to know us and made an awkward and emotional process easy. We opted to make the leap and do our trust at the same time. In the end, we love having a book and a digital copy of our documents. We have peace of mind knowing that Paula is available for questions and updates as needed. Not sure why we waited so long to get this all done.
