Jerry accepted a time sensitive assignment and he made it sound like he would have no problem completing it by the required date. I sent Jerry all of the information he asked for. After 2 weeks I called to follow up and Jerry said he would get back to me later that day. He never did. After 3 weeks I called and left messages for Jerry and never received a response. He also never replied to e-mail. He didn't complete the assignment and wasted my time.

Dealing with separation and facing a painful divorce, I could not have asked for a better ally than Brian Clausen. Coming highly recommended by a trusted friend, he exceeded any expectations with his professional counsel and compassionate advocacy throughout my ordeal.
It's not easy trusting a near-stranger at an emotionally overwhelming time in your life. But Brian offered a steady presence throughout my divorce, balancing compassion with candid guidance when I had tunnel vision. He tactfully held ground on my behalf in tense meetings and mediations without losing sight of big-picture goals.
Brian and his team run an impressively organized operation that exudes professionalism in every detail.
Above all, I felt heard, reassured, and empowered thanks to his strategies and accessibility day-to-day. He was my hero and worth every penny.

Wonderful experience. Adam is a very knowledgeable lawyer and hard worker. He always kept in touch, spoke in Layman's terms and guided me in each step. He helped me get compensation after I was rear-ended. The other side tried making my prior, more minor injuries into something big and then tried downplaying this injury, which made me frustrated. Adam didn't let them get away with that, and he believed me. He worked so hard for me and I'm so grateful.

I worked with Adam after getting into a car accident and I could not have been happier with his representation. He was very thorough and I could tell he cared about me as a person and the injuries I was dealing with. I can't thank him enough for his help and I would highly recommend him.

This attorney omitted labor market data that documents a racial gap in unemployment for monitories and furthermore, this attorney adds to racial injustice in our court system. I am encouraging all minorities to boycott this attorney.

My ex-husband wanted to take me to court to change a few items in our
divorce decree that I did not agree with. We were trying to reach a
compromise over email but that did not appear to be working. I called J.
Markiewicz Law Office to set up a consult.
The day before my consult with her, J. Markiewicz called me on the phone
and asked me to email documents to her so she could become better
familiar with my case. I emailed them to her. At the consult, we
discussed sending a letter to my ex’s lawyer with a potential
compromise. I hired her and placed a $2000 retainer. She wrote a letter
to my ex’s lawyer, but I didn’t want to send it because my ex and I were
still emailing about a compromise which we did within a week. During
that week, J. Markiewicz emailed and texted me to approve the letter
which I said I wasn’t ready to do just yet. After receiving a text that
she was uncomfortable with my waiting, and exasperated that I had to
defend working on a compromise, I told J. Markiewicz that I no longer
needed her services and asked for my un-used retainer back.
Despite the fact that we met for a “free” consultation, and the only
thing I authorized was the creation of a letter, J. Markiewicz only
returned a little over half of my retainer. She unethically charged me
$455 – over an hour of her time – for reading the documents that she
asked me to send to her before I had even met and hired her, and a
$117.50 charge just to “Open a new file.”
I asked J. Markiewicz to refund the charges since she was the one to ask
for the emailed documents before I had met her or hired her, and,
because she gave no upfront information about the “Open New File” costs.
She initially said she would be open to discussing this concern, but
then ignored my email communications until I filed this review. She has
since emailed and stated that she’d refund only $345 and that she’d
consider the case closed. She mailed a check for this amount which is
less than her unethical charges.

My fiance' and I recently engaged Ms. Markiewicz to help prepare a prenup agreement and had an absolutely horrific experience. It appeared that Ms. Markiewicz approached our prenup as a hostile divorce (rather than a loving marriage) pitting my future bride and I against each other, employing emotionally charged adversarial negotiation tactics and dragging out an expensive lawyer intensive process to...literally...the day before our wedding.
She dismissed the process I had proposed where my fiance' and I would work together (doing much of the work ourselves) to craft a fair and equitable agreement through an amicable collaborative process with guidance and feedback from our respective counsel. She also ignored my request to provide an overview of the process, key milestones and timeline that she would suggest as an alternative. Instead, she just moved forward in a manner that lead to a drawn out, time consuming, resource intensive (read "lots of billable hours") process that dramatically increased our legal fees; created intense stress, conflict and emotional trauma; and dragged the "negotiation" process out to...literally...the day before our wedding. And to top things off, she billed us double the hours that our other lawyer did...even though he crafted and authored the multiple drafts of the proposed prenup and the key legal documents.
This nightmare of a process resulted in prenup that neither one of us felt good about, legal fees that were 3-4 times what we had expected, a prenup that got signed the AFTERNOON before our wedding and an excruciatingly stressful...downright traumatic...process that led to my fiance' and I "breaking up" twice in the two weeks prior to our wedding (including 4 days before).
P.S. This review features no embellishment or exaggeration (and I have the email audit trail to back up every word). I had never met...or even heard of...Ms. Markiewicz prior to this prenup process, do not work in the legal profession nor have any other potential conflicts of interests. I invested the time to write this review solely in the interest of helping others avoid repeating what was one of the most traumatic professional experiences of my life. One that came very close to aborting my wedding and costing me the woman that I love, adore and cherish with all my heart.

The saying "The lawyers are the only ones getting rich is true. There were a lot of unnecessary emails between the lawyers. The meeting with the mediator was a waste of time. She said all the information wasn't collected so we should reschedule. Of course told that 5 hours in. They get paid hourly. I personally think they are all in on it to get more money. Cost me $1200 for nothing. I had a simple yes or no question to determine if I was to continue and the lawyer wouldn't answer unless I paid another $1500. She had already got $8000. She was nice enough until that point then rude to me. We decided to settle on our own and it worked out. I know not always possible. Alot of unnecessary stress.

he really is the best at what she does. If you give her all your facts up front she can get you where you need to be. I can’t say enough and how she is worth every penny. She is prompt with responses and does not waste your time on the phone. I really like that she tells it like it is because that’s what it takes to understand what needs to be done on your end to keep your kids and to be headed in the right direction as a client. She vouched for me, kept immaculate records, and always had my back. I recommend her to everyone for family law/custody things on the moms pages for a reason. I wouldn’t have my kids and the custody schedule I’m on right now if I had chosen someone else.

I was referred to Jessica by a friend. Jessica did an amazing job with my very complicated divorce. I know she cared as much about the outcome as I did and completely had my best interests in mind. She did an amazing job managing my expectations and her communication skills were very impressive. She did a really great job making me feel comfortable in a very very uncomfortable life event. She was a true professional with experience second to none.

Shes suppose to be the main point of contact for my case. She told me to get retreated for my injuries at a chiropractor and when the chiropractor could not get a hold of her, I asked her to call him and she said she would and never did. Finally I asked her to try and final my case as my accident was in 2019 and she told me she will no longer work on my case because of my additude. I did not know asking for communication was against the law.

I was in a accident which caused my car to get totaled. My lawyer was not able to help due to the pandemic so he transfered me to kris neros. She staed that she will be my new lawyer in March 2022 and I explained to her what happened and she mentioned she will be my main point of contact going forward. I have not spoken to her for 4 months. Recently she stated I should try and get retreated and I had to meet with an adjuster to which kris said "I will call you to prep you for this meeting" I did not get a call from her nor did I an messaged from her responding to me. The adjuster then stated I do not need to be retreated. Kris then suggested that I go to get treated anyways so I did. I'm now having to be the middle person person with the chiropractor and kris and I constantly have to rich out to both of them to talk to eachother. I messaged kris that is the insurance company has given a final offer on my case, that we should except it cuz she not communicated with me at all. Today August 10 2022 the chiropractor messaged me again stating that adjuster does not think I need retirement. So I messaged kris and asked for an updated and stated that if she's not going to be the main point of contact then please let me know to which kris responded that u should be receiving my paper work and she doesn't appreciate my additive and for me to find a new lawyer. I will diffinatle be reporting her lack of representation to the lawyers professional responsibility board. It sucks that she has 100 %positive reviews as I did not receive this kind of treatment.

My business was one of the many destroyed and looted during the Lake Street riots. I found myself having to deal the aftermath of such a devastating situation I never in my life expected to have to deal with. I knew I needed to find an experienced professional to make sure I came out of it ok. Kris Naros stepped right up to help me navigate through the complex insurance claim process, making sure I got every penny of coverage available, explained everything to me in a prompt and understandable manner and showed true care and compassion throughout the process, helping me and my business get rebuilt and back on track quickly. I am so great full for everything they have done for me and my business. I highly recommend Kris Naros and Naros Law - they are the best!

Dave took over my case from another lawyer who wasn't doing such a great job. This put him at a disadvantage with missed legal deadlines and having to play 'catch up'. Despite this, he managed to help me have a much better outcome than I might have. He kept me in full and timely communication throughout, and he had previous experience and expertise in the area I needed. He helped me see that mediation was the best way to go for my case cost/verdict wise and was very supportive of my situation. Highly recommend him.

In the fall of 2022, my Personal Representative services were requested to administer the estate settlement for a close friend who had passed away. Without hesitation, I reached out to Kevin Wetherille who partnered me with probate attorney Dan Sagstetter. Dan’s expertise was tested as we worked through the estate's unique challenges. Dan proved to be far more than an exceptionally gifted attorney. Dan became a trusted advisor and mentor to me. As an excellent communicator, Dan explained the “why” behind actions taken, allowing beneficiaries to understand and appreciate them. Dan made the law easy to consume for everyone involved.
A good attorney makes all the difference. I had a great one with Dan Sagstetter. As my business grows, I look forward to future partnerships with Dan, Kevin, Jim, and the JMW team.

“I am incredibly thankful for Angela’s support throughout my asylum case. From the beginning of our collaboration in August 2023 to receiving my granted asylum on July 31, 2024, she demonstrated unmatched professionalism, clear communication, and exceptional attention to detail.
Her guidance made every step of the process smoother, and her dedication reassured me during a challenging time. Achieving such a successful outcome in under a year is a testament to her expertise and commitment.
I highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who truly cares about her clients.”

my only regret is I didn’t record the initial conversations. He took my money and filed with the court but didn’t do any work besides that... so the case got dismissed and I’m out a good $16,000. Honestly feel swindled by the whole thing. Didn’t do any of what he said he would do. And never even followed up with the courts decisions or communications. I would go elsewhere. When choosing a lawyer, its important to find one who has the same priorities and goals as you. i realized unfortunately that Travis prioritized his own firm's growth, his "business model" instead of my life. That's why i think people would be better served without him.
UPDATE: this is a rebuttal to Mr. Kowitz's response to my review. Ironically, his response demonstrates his blatant lack of accountability. he cant be held accountable for anything. everything is always someone else's fault. this dude talks big game but never follows through. saying you take accountability and actually taking accountability are two totally separate things. he retroactively tries to justify his poor behavior and poor performance when i know for a fact he did not prepare for the hearing or work on my case at all. i have proof he lied to me over and over again. i have no idea how this guy has won an attorney award. if you enjoy gaslighting like his response to this review, then enjoy your time with him. at least he will offer "Friendship" when he loses your case.

He takes everyone and makes sure their first before himself. Alot of lawyers don't think that way. He is driven by passion and he is driven by loving what he does. I highly recommend Travis...... he's the best attorney and the most real one to be there for you!

Couldn't be more happy with Mr. Laver. What was supposed to be a simple custody agreement turned into an ugly battle. Mr. Laver mostly handles Bankruptcy cases, however, he did not back down when things got tough for me and really helped me through the stressful time. He spent extra time getting prepared and was ready to go the extra mile for me. Many times he would call just to check in and see how i was doing. The ex found an attorney that demanded and thought she ran the show (similar personalities) and Mr. Laver did not let her get away with anything and never caved. He will continue to be my attorney for as long as he practices. He is personable, cared about my situation, put in extra work, and we even won the case. I recommend him 100%.

Patrick Burns helped me with my divorce. He kept me calm, and helped me understand everything that was going on. Even when I became very emotional, he was able to keep calm, and remember to focus on my child. His assistants and other attorneys in the office were very understanding and kept me informed as well.
I would highly recommend Burns & Hansen for any legal issues. They are wonderful, and human!

I hired this firm because they advertised themselves as one of the top legal practices in the area. However, the attorney assigned to my case, charging $420 per hour, made a significant error in the legal documents she prepared for my case, including an incorrect date. When I brought this to her attention, she responded by stating that I should have caught the mistake before signing the document.
I find this level of negligence unacceptable, particularly from a firm that claims to be among the best. When I confronted the attorney about the error and requested that it be corrected, she insisted it was not her responsibility to catch such mistakes and reiterated that I should have identified the error myself before signing.
As a result of this oversight, my case is now in a much worse position than when I initially sought the firm’s help. I am now pursuing a legal malpractice lawsuit against both the attorney and the firm, and I plan to file a formal complaint with the state bar in an effort to have her license suspended or revoked due to her actions in this family law matter.

However, the attorney assigned to my case, charging $420 per hour, made a significant error in the legal documents she prepared for my case, including an incorrect date. When I brought this to her attention, she responded by stating that I should have caught the mistake before signing the document.
I find this level of negligence unacceptable, particularly from a firm that claims to be among the best. When I confronted the attorney about the error and requested that it be corrected, she insisted it was not her responsibility to catch such mistakes and reiterated that I should have identified the error myself before signing.
As a result of this oversight, my case is now in a much worse position than when I initially sought the firm’s help. I am now pursuing a legal malpractice lawsuit against both the attorney and the firm, and I plan to file a formal complaint with the state bar in an effort to have her license suspended or revoked due to her actions in this family law matter.
