Mr. Depper was kind but firm in what I would need to do to resolve my legal issues. The first face to face meeting his confidence was apparent and his knowledge of the system was strong. I was nervous and really did not think any lawyer would care to go the distance with my family. Not only did Mr. Depper go the distance but he gave me sound advice, answered all my questions, calls, and messages regardless of how emotionally distraught or anxious I was. He is a very good listener and does his homework. I thought at the beginning of my case there was no hope and I would be railroaded by the system. With Mr. Depper there was no chance of this happening. Even when I was ready to settle for anything just to get the case closed he was still fighting for us. I had a lot of work to do and he was very up front about my responsibilities. With each step he was encouraging, and supportive. He never once backed down. Throughout the case I kept telling myself what he had told me from the very beginning. "Your case depends on how many hoops they throw at you that you are willing to jump through...with a smile on your face". I would jump again. He was right. Even if they set them on fire he was there to put it out. Strong, knowledgeable, supportive, and someone that has a good ethic. I feel privileged to have had him on my side. I was able to walk out with my chin up, and faith restored. Thank you Mr. Depper I could never have done this without you!

This summer I found myself in serious trouble and in need of legal help but had no idea how to find an attorney that would handle my type of problem. After searching and asking around, I stumbled onto the AVVO website. When I found Mr. Depper's page I noticed he had taken the time to answer more than 60 legal questions. I read his responses and I liked the way he answered people. He was very clear, to the point and helpful to those with inquiries. I contacted him via email through his website and he responded a few minutes later. When I met him in person I found his demeanor matched the person depicted in the legal responses. I learned very quickly that I did not have to explain things in a hurry to him. He listened to everything I had to say and let me explain in my own way. He carefully looked through everything I had to show him asked questions for clarification and took a lot of notes. He explained the challenges that I would be facing and explained the general process of resolving my case. He answered all of my questions and when I didn't understand something he seemed to be happy to go over it again. When I walked out of his office that day I felt a tremendous relief. I felt like he had a thorough understanding of my situation and of me as an individual. I felt blessed to have a strong advocate with a solid plan. We had three additional meetings and two phone conversations before my hearing took place. Mr. Depper stayed true to his initial character. He always answered all of my questions , he listened and did not rush me. He addressed every issue I raised by either telling me how he was handling it or making me understand why it was irrelevant. He never allowed our meetings to conclude without making certain I had no more questions. He always invited me to contact him if I had questions but that it was never necessary to contact him since he answered everything up front. When it came time to go to court he met with me and explained how the hearing would proceed. On the morning of the hearing he spent a few minutes with me beforehand to make sure i was calm and did not have any questions or concerns. During the hearing I was a little in awe of him. He was very organized and well prepared. He systematically raised for consideration every issue we had concerns with. He kept everyone on topic including the opposing attorney. When the hearing was over he talked with me again. We briefly reviewed what transpired in the hearing and he let me know what to expect next. A few weeks later we learned that his defense was successful and there were no more steps to take. I am very grateful to Mr. Depper for really hearing me, for taking my case and fighting for me. He is truly a blessing.

He was booked solid and didn't have time to add me and didn't really do the type of legal work I needed anymore as he's scaling down for retirement. But he talked on phone 5 minutes and answered some questions I had and was very polite and honest. We even had a good laugh together. James sounds like a loving and caring lawyer. The community will miss him after he retires next year! Thank you young feller!

Mr. Coleman is very familiar with the way disability cases work. "It definitely wasn't his first rodeo" I've tried other lawyers before using mr. Coleman and was denied disability. Mr. Coleman took my case and he work hard on my case and I received a favorable decision for my disability claim. Would I recommend him? Most definitely. He answered all the questions that I had about the disability process and explained how the process works. He answered or return my calls promptly. If I had the need I would definitely use him again. Don't waste your time with other lawyers. Call mr. Coleman first.

His guidance to me has been practical, incisive, discrete, and well rounded. His balanced approach proves him to be an expert. Christopher Nanos has been exemplar in putting my interests first.

Want a smart, hard working, really sincere and honest lawyer on your side? Charles is that and more. He made us feel confident throughout on a child custody case that had been ongoing for years with several attorneys. He listened close, then worked with us on a plan of action that made sense and made sure that plan was supported by the law. He never made any promises, just delivered when it came time. Our goal became his. He also has a solid team as well that kept us informed & on track. He has years of experience with the judges that make decisions that impact your life. The details, history & evidence in the case are too much to note here. Suffice to say we basically won our case. We were well prepared thanks to his direction. I'm not a typical person to post reviews, but the service was worthy of it. There are plenty of lawyers for sure. This man stands out and deserves consideration, especially in a family law case.

Trevor executed laudable representation for my family; consistently going above and beyond to take care of us. We hired Trevor for a lawsuit against a corporation due to trauma our child endured as a result of their negligence. It was a very sensitive topic that was difficult to simply discuss. He was compassionate, encouraging, and never pushed the boundaries of our comfort level. We decided to settle without a trial because of the emotional turmoil of having to extend the lawsuit. Trevor was a tiger in negotiations and my child was awarded with a satisfactory amount of money. We're grateful for him.

Don’s dedication to my case was a humbling experience; he spent late nights and weekends collecting pertinent information to cover all bases, and in the end, it all worked to my favor, as I didn’t have to pay the opposing party a single penny.

Tim represented me during my divorce and took the time to truly listen to me and understand the situation I was in.

Tim knows the law and clearly explains your rights and how to obtain a favorable outcome for his clients. I felt like I was speaking to a friend, rather than my attorney. He will fight for your rights to the best the law will allow. Without Tim in my corner, I would have never known my rights and how to defend myself, and I would have not been able to receive joint-custody of my children, which would have been devastating.

Brandon Moffitt was my attorney over the course of about a year. He solved several issues for me related to a complicated probate case . Several attorneys were involved and I was in over my head legally. He was my primary contact and counselor regarding contracts, property settlement, will writing, gas and oil rights....everything that "came up". He resolved conflict between family members and prevented disputes during a difficult time. He is a calming, professional person, willing and capable of putting out fires. He stayed with my case until probate ended and the issues I had were resolved enough to proceed without an attorney. In other words, he saw things through and made them better while saving time and money. His fees are more than fair and he was careful about never overcharging. He often answered the telephone personally and if not, always returned calls promptly. If you've ever hired an attorney, you know how rare it is to have an open line of communication. I appreciate that most of all. I would hire him again with confidence. If you want personalized, professional, timely attention along with resolution of a legal problem, you want Brandon Moffitt.

I can’t thank Michael Pierce enough for what he did for my son. I didn’t have experience in this area so I followed my heart in choosing him and I’m so glad I did! The Public Defender gave my son two years in prison when he had never been arrested before. He was accused of a serious crime he didn’t commit but there was no way to prove it. Mr. Pierce got his charge reduced with a 5 year suspended sentence and no probation! The amount he charged was very reasonable and we were glad to pay it, with monthly payments after a down payment. He said he would do his best and he meant it! I’ve never known an attorney with more heart, determination, and genuine care. I highly recommend him. We will be forever grateful!

I'd also like to give a shout out to Sarah Walton with RBSR, who answered countless billing/documentation questions that put my mind at ease, knowing exactly where we stood and updated on our case. I can't recommend this team enough! Thank you for your service:)

i switched representation a few weeks in to my divorce- i hired Kristin in August 2015 to handle my divorce w/custody. Kristin understood the situation I was facing within the first half hour. She makes you feel you are a priority. She is available by phone, email and you do not wait for responses. I would not have felt complete closure with my case without her representation. She is not afraid to push and not back down from the opposing counsel. She is definitely one you want fighting for you, not against you.

Kristen was always well prepared. She made me feel like I was her only client. She answered all my questions, even the ones I had asked several times before. She helped take the "edge" off of a really difficult experience. I really felt like she had my best interest at heart, not making money and moving on to the next case. She worked for me, but always gave me options and recommendations based on her experience. In the end, the direction we went was my call. If you are unfortunate enough to go through a divorrce, your first call should be to Kristen.
