Phill was highly aggressive throughout the time I spent with him working on my case. I initially thought this was a good thing. To his credit he and his team make things happen quickly. In my opinion those aggressive tactics worked against my case. I left his service and spoke with other representation when I realized his aggressive style was not meant to benefit my children but rather his pockets. He promised that I could get most anything I wanted, which I believed initially. I have spoke to a few other clients of his who have also stated they had a similar experience. The lawyers I spoke to subsequently were concerned that I had been mislead. They asked that I pursue mediation because the damage had been done and that going to trial would work against me.

I made the costly mistake of having this clown represent me in my divorce. He is not his father. He had a kidney transplant and is barely able to function. He worried more about his drugs sitting in a hot car than he did about my divorce. Huge mistake on my part. Cost me hundreds of thousands more than it should have. I really dont think he is physically or mentally able to function.

I hired Phil to help me with a post- divorce custody modification situation. I had to make some tough decisions under intense pressure and Phil was truly by my side through the whole thing . Even though he is extremely busy, he was able to quickly grasp the complexities of my situation and helped me change gears when he felt it was in my best . interest. He and his staff are extremely efficient and didn’t waste my time or money . I highly recommend Phil Bevis . He is simply one of the best family law attorneys in Boise.

Worst Attorney experience ever! Don't waste your money! I was given a low quote up front and assured that we would win the case. After spending triple the original estimate, I was told that I have a "Weak Case." I asked for a refund based on grossly misleading legal advice. The only response I got was an additional billing. Please shop around for a more honest & knowledgeable attorney, or represent yourself, lose anyways & save lots of money. Following Matt's advice has caused permanent damage to my established business. They walk away with a stack of my hard earned money.

Matthew is a very excellent young lawyer in downtown Boise. He is professional and always comes well prepared for any case that he is working. Matthew presents his cases eloquently in court and leaves nothing in question. I cannot express how well Matthew does his job. I would recommend him for any legal needs. His clients will not be disappointed in his preparation of cases. He is very thorough and leaves no details out. He is also very punctual and always early for any cases. Another point in Matthew's favor is that he doesn't sugar coat the case and what he feels will be the outcome of your case. He is candid and always tells the truth. His integrity in impeccable.

I paid good money to this guy to do a job that he couldn't do an he didn't represent me as I had expected him to I got nothing more then what a public defender can do and I don't recommend him to anyone that wants to win on a case his communication also was very poor and basically I wasted 6,000 on a attorney that did a shitty job all he was concerned about was the money I feel like he's a scam artist and I would never recommend him to anyone that needs more then what a public defender can do.

I was being sued. Lyman accepted case, then passed off to Jr. partner. On Jr. advice, prepared multiple motions. Jr later balked and said that motions wouldn't work. Did a lot of research and consultations with Sr. partners. Conducted the case without my knowledge or informed consent. After expending $8,000.00, withdrew from case, and left me materially harmed. Lyman refused to intervene, and even compared me by name with some former client he disliked. This is why lawyers have such a bad reputation. Run away!

Attorney Chad Bernards recently assisted me in a high conflict, extremely complicated case. He is a very knowledgeable attorney who knows his stuff. He was always available to respond to my queries promptly. Above all he is a great human being who genuinely cares for his clients. I not only found an excellent attorney whose legal skills are exceptional, but a great friend as well. His clients and fellow lawyers are lucky to know him and be part of his professional life.

Chad represented me in a civil suit. He advised me to file motions, which he drafted and billed me, and then advised me not to file! Chad consulted Sr. partners and double billed me. He conducted legal research and billed many hours. I asked to see the documents or notes from that research but was refused. He would not answer direct questions when posed, and conducted the case without my knowledge or informed consent. Chad refused to lay out a strategy or a path for resolution of the case. When I asked why he would not provide me with any guidance during discovery, he sent notifications to opposing counsel and the judge that he was withdrawing, and then notified me. I was left materially harmed, and billed more than $8,000.00 with absolutely no cogent advice or results. Do not let this happen to you.

I am so grateful that a friend of mine referred me to Mr. Alegria. He and his staff (mostly, Matt, his Office Manager) were very helpful and responsive. Mr. Aelgria was pleasant to deal with, even when he aggressively confronted me about some of my initial expectations that were not completely realistic. I am glad that I did not hire someone who was determined to just tell me what I wanted to hear, to keep me happy. Of course, I recommend this Firm.

Would not recommend. We had a very simple custody case where both parties agreed, so we only needed documents drafted. He took our money and was soon demanding more without providing any accounting of what the original money went towards. Even after several requests, we never received an accounting.Very poor experience with this attorney.

Hired Kevin a while back while he was working for another law firm. When he started his own company, he asked if we wanted to stay with him, and we agreed and separated from the other firm. At that time he informed me that our cost for the case would not exceed the retainer we paid him We have a case that is still ongoing that is not a family law case. It wasn’t until he started his own company we started to notice a shift. Several calls would go out with fails on his end to return said calls. Then he would finally answer and state “oh hey I was just getting ready to call you”! Yeah ok. We went through months of stuff we had to do to get ready to go into calendar and right before we were supposed to go on calendar, he calls and says he made a mistake and forgot to have me go though a state evaluation that was required for this case. It set us back over a year. After we got everything done, once again it’s was a drawn out head ache. Countless unreturned phone calls. I finally asked if this had anything to do with our agreement of paid in full and he reassured me it wasn’t, however we were starting to feel that he had other better paying clients and we were put on the back burner. After we submitted a form we had been waiting for, he instructed us to drop it off to his location. I didn’t hear anything for several weeks and finally reached out yet again and he said he never received the paperwork I dropped off. He asked where we dropped it off at and I told him his front desk. He insisted I had the wrong office, however I’m quite sure it was the correct one as anyone knows his office it’s hard to confuse it with anyone else’s since his business cards are there, and his law firm name is not only at the door but also on the wall. The receptionist took my form and let me know he was in a meeting. I started to receive emails stating I owe money for services and I called to enquire about them. This was a little confusing since he mentioned when I came over to his law firm that he would handle the case without any additional fees. After reading other reviews, this seems to be a thing with him. I refused to pay it since he agreed to do the case and not exceed the retainer. At this point I had it. I asked for my file and told the lady at the counter that I was terminating him as our attorney. He never reached out by phone to discuss the matter, instead he sent me a very snarky email stating that I was in the wrong and he never once owned anything that he did wrong. It was all my fault. I responded to the email pointing out where he was wrong, and never received any response back. Now I’m out thousands of dollars that do not reflect the work he did. We contacted several other attorneys after this and all questioned Kevin’s handling of the case and didn’t understand why certain things weren’t done correctly. I would highly, highly, think twice before you retain his services.

This law firm is 9 times over priced for the value of their work. The assistant is very rude, the lawyer is not knowledgeable. In fact the judge ridiculed him for not submitting evidence in affidavit form. Which the judge pointed out is the only way you can in family court. He then went back on his flat fee contract and over charged for his errant work which delayed my custody case 4 months. I recommend you recommend this law firm to who you are going against.

Kevin has been my lawyer for many different cases now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even he helped with cases that I didn’t originally ask his help for, he took them on without any hesitation. His determination for what is right for his client is not a question. He will take his time out to help with anything you ask of him. Most people say lawyers are sharks, well Kevin is a shark but with heart. I recommend him for anything, if he doesn’t have the information at hand, he will do all that he can for the information that is needed.
