I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Kyle Humphrey at Humphrey & Thompson for his help with an unexpected case. He was highly thorough and made sure I understood every part of the process, which was especially important as this was my first and only legal matter. I also appreciate his efforts in sealing the case, keeping it off public record. Many thanks to you and your team!

Im so thankful to have hired Mr. Gorski and the whole team to help me with my child custody case. As a father , I feel the courts are against me but I found a good team to guide me through one of the most stressful things a father or parent could go through. We fought for the time I deserved with my daughter , and we were able to get a court order for everything I was asking for.
Special thanks to Jonelle, who handled all my paperwork . She was always there to answer any questions and concerns I had related to my case. She was always very helpful at keeping my nerves at ease. Glad to have had such an amazing supportive person on my team.
I hope I never have to go through such a difficult and stressful situation like this again but I know who to count on if I ever do.

I've had the unfortunate need to use Ms. Etcheverry a handful of times over the last decade or so. My cases have ranged from Dissolution of Marriage to Custody and Abandonment. Ms. Etcheverry has exceeded my expectations every time. Her staff is friendly, compassionate and understand how to deal with a client who is going through some of the toughest situations in their life. Ms. Etcheverry is outstanding in Court and is not scared to take your case to Trial if necessary. I cannot recommend her enough! I would not waste time with another consultation, this is the Attorney you need.

First off, my wife and I would like to thank Edyta for the amazing work she did with our case. We came with Edyta based on reviews we found pertaining to past cases of hers. My wife being a United States citizen was petitioning for me to get my permanent residency. Edyta went above and beyond to find the best, easiest, fastest, and most economical way of us getting our case fixed. We filed for Advanced Parole and got approved, and right after we started our journey to getting my Resident card approved. Edyta does expect you to do your part in providing her and Immigration with as much evidence as possible to have your case be as strong as possibly can be. So, be ready to do some work, but her hard work does not go unnoticed. Her amazing work got our case approved and if you are looking for an immigration attorney look no further than Mrs. Edyta. She is amazing and we can promise you that you will not regret it.

My wife and I can't express how grateful we are to Edyta Grant.
Edyta gave me - Strong Advice that I took to help me get my wife home.
We were caught at the pandemic outbreak, which set us back months.
The slow process of both our governments was the biggest stress because of lockdowns and flying restrictions.
But Edyda was there for us and she guided us through this difficult time.
When I was losing hope, I was planning to move to my wife's country.
But that was the time when Edyta really gave me hope with her Strong Advice. That Advice was what pushed my wife's Visa to really get moving, and it did!!
Now, on November 24, 2021, My wife finally came home to me.
And after 3 years, this stress is finally gone - All Due To Edyta's Hard Work and guiding us through this long process.
Hire Edyta if anybody needs a strong, honest, and dedicated imagination attorney, and you won't be disappointed.
From the bottom of our hearts, all we can say is "Thank You So Much Edyta!"

Cleve is very personable, makes you feel extremely comfortable and he will invest time and money into you. He is honest and won't sugarcoat anything.

In his 15+ years working alongside my business, Cleve McKnight has continuously proven his skill as an attorney. He has been indispensable in every aspect, from helping us in labor board cases to reviewing our business contracts and agreements. Not only that, but he is very respectful, highly professional and incredibly organized — all characteristics I look for in my legal team.
It’s lawyers like Cleve McKnight that help owning and running a business a bit less stressful. He works hard to ensure that our business is protected, and he’s been a great confidant for my legal affairs. I’d recommend him to any business owner who is looking for a true advocate.

The funny thing is that I found Joe through Avvo, so it's only fitting that I come full circle to write Joe a review here. I was hesitant when I first contacted Joe, but he made a very good impression on me from the very beginning. My initial thoughts were that he was very responsive and timely to my inquiries. He happened to be on vacation when I first contacted him, but he was very professional and still made time for a brief consultation. As I continued to work with Joe, I found him to be very friendly, straightforward and trustworthy. Integrity and timeliness are very important qualities for me when I work with any professional and you'll be surprised how many professionals don't have these qualities. Lastly, Joe does his homework. He gave me good sound advice and everything worked out as he predicted. I would recommend my family and friends to him which means you should too.

I sought legal advise from another law office but was basically turned away. When I consulted with Matthew Faulkner I felt like I was treated as a extended family member in need.

A friend of mine referred me to Mr. Faulkner as she once needed a lawyer she could trust and only had great things to say about him. I met with Mr. Faulkner and instantly connected with him. He understood that it was a very stressful time for me as I was trying to recover from my car accident. He ensured me that he would handle all the legal aspects of my case so I could focus on my health. Through the entire process, Mr. Faulkner kept me informed about the details of my case, included me in decisions and shared with me his suggestions based on my best interest. His goal was my goal! He was very knowledgeable and was a man of action. I was not only extremely pleased with the outcome of the case; I also found Mr. Faulkner to be an honest lawyer who believed in me, my case, and his own ability to obtain justice. I would highly recommend!

It's rare to find a professional that has the amazing ability to get results, respond to need and concerns and do so in a kind and compassionate way. Mr. Faulkner has this ability to balance people skills with a vast knowledge and experience of law to not only achieve clients goals, but also do so in a way that takes into consideration the emotional roller coaster that legal issues take us on. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any legal needs anyone has had. He and his offices have been profoundly helpful to me and my family.

Bad experience with Communication, called several times, the people the answer the phone do thier job answering the phone, but when they check to see if Attorney or Paralegal's are available, they say no one answers. They take messages but no one ever returns my call. I feel like this firm leaves you hanging with no direction. I feel very annoyed by thier lack of communication and I am talking about the attorney and paralegals.

If they had zero stars I would have given that . This has been the worst experience in my life dealing with them. The staff was so rude and un professional. Left several messages and never a phone call back. Please beware of this attorney . A simple trust turned into a nightmare . How long does it take to do a simple trust ? No communication what so ever !!

I hired Mr. Brumfield's office and paid a retainer, only to be completely ignored and abandoned. They have done absolutely no work on my case, refused to respond to multiple emails, and ignored all my requests for a refund. Their lack of professionalism and basic decency is appalling. Ifyou’re looking for an attorney who communicates, follows through, or respects their clients, look elsewhere. This office clearly has no interest in delivering the services they were paid for.

It goes without saying that Mr. Gereis is a phenomenal human being. From my consultation with him to my emails/phone calls with him, Mr. Gereis was extremely supportive, informative, relatable, and far from being on a high horse. I was panicking about my misdemeanor case and all that could have gone wrong, but the plea offer in the end was doable because it did not result in a jail sentence. Thank you once again Mr. Gereis. =]]

Jim and his firm took us as clients at the eleventh hour of our case. We wil never forget what he has done for us. We met Jim the day before the filing deadline and not knowing us from Adam took our case and never looked back. He did everything we asked of him and never tried to talk us out of court. We got our day in court due to his neverending faith in us. He, his wife and son are now and forever will be part of our family. His experience and litigation skills brought our case to a successful conclusion. His son Matthew exhibits the same integrity, honesty and compassion that is patently obvious in his father, Jim. Thank you so very much.

Being from Canada, and playing professional hockey for 13 years, 2 with the Bakersfield Condors, my wife and I decided to settle in the United States. We needed a trusted and knowledgeable lawyer to represent us in our unique case. The second we shook hands with Win Eaton and his staff we were instantly pleased and felt comfortable with our decision for him to back us along this process. They kept us informed and answered our questions when they needed to be answered. We are now in the process of removing our conditions for our 10 year and so far so good. We highly recommend Win Eaton & Associates for your immigration needs. And yeah, the name Win says it all!

Julia Vlahos started as my attorney but ended as my friend. I truly am at a loss to explain all the support, concern and advice she gave me, over more than two years. We cannot control how slow this process goes, but I would want to share this with her every time regardless. There were times, where I was upset, or angry or frustrated and she always consoled or prepared me for the next step with measured advice, but intuitive advice; she anticipated how I would feel. She helped reveal the truth about my case, which meant more than anything else n this process. She always heard me, but she also allowed the jury to hear me as well.

Seth O’Dell was recommended to me by my primary criminal attorney. I was falsely accused of a crime. Mr. O’Dell and my primary criminal attorney worked to get the criminal charge dismissed. A month later, the accuser and a state agency went after one of my professional licenses. Mr. O’Dell led a team of lawyers who defended my license. He won the administrative hearing and my license was reinstated without restriction. Mr. O’Dell proved himself to be a hard working and resourceful lawyer. He was also a very personable and supportive friend as I went through the legal machine. I would recommend Mr. O’Dell and his team to any person needing legal representation.

Ms. McGrath really helped me clear up a case brought against me from years past which was complicated and had many moving parts in a felony hit and run. She was able to get my charge dismissed outright after hearing all the facts of the case. I was very weary of using a public defender but she made me feel overwhelmingly confident in her abilities to fight my case. I would highly recommend her if you’re in need of an excellent attorney who will put you first and fight for your freedom. Thanks to her I was able to see my son be born and for that I am forever grateful and in her debt.

I was greeted by a nice young man when I got to my appointment. He was friendly and very informative. Mr. Travis Schellenberg was also easy to get a hold of and open to answering all of my questions. He was truthful and if he didn't know the answer, always looked for it by asking his peers. I think Travis is a great asset to your organization. He is professional yet playful at times, but always with respect. It's nice to know that values are still in young men such as Travis Schellenberg. Thank you for all your help!!

Looking for a lawyer was a stressful situation to find myself in when I was already overwhelmed with a situation I never saw coming.
Finding Jorge was providential beyond my expectations. He listened to the facts of the situation. He easily explained statutes in layman's terms. Despite facing big problems I felt completely confident. He is always prompt and respectful to answer my questions and concerns. When it came time for the hearing I felt completely supported because he kept me informed throughout the process of the proceedings. He made the process easy and I knew he would get us an appropriate determination based on logic and the law. He was successful and I and my family are beyond grateful.
