I had the privilege of working with Michael Johnson on my divorce case recently. Throughout the process, Michael demonstrated exceptional skill in guiding me through what was often a challenging and contentious negotiation. Not only did he bring his extensive knowledge of family law to the table, but he also helped me grasp what was fair and equitable in my case.
There were moments when the emotional weight of the situation felt overwhelming, yet Michael's empathetic approach provided much-needed support. Despite it not being explicitly part of his job, he took the time to help me navigate the difficult emotions and realities associated with divorce proceedings. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to find peace with the outcome and move forward with confidence.
Michael's professionalism and compassion truly made a difference during this trying time. I have the utmost confidence in him and recommend him without hesitation. He exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for his support throughout the entire process.

Michael Johnson was able to take on an extremely complicated case on short notice and complete what was requested in a reasonable period of time. I had spent a bunch of money with another law firm who kept saying they were doing things but never actually doing what was asked. Michael picked up the case and was able to figure out what was going on and complete what was requested in the amount of time requested and did it for an extremely reasonable price! I've had over a dozen attorneys to date and definitely the best by far! Highly professional and recommended for anyone that wants to make sure they're getting the most value for their money!

My wife and I hired Michael to facilitate the adoption of our grand-daughter. A few years prior, we had a different lawyer help us establish guardianship of her and we were not at all pleased with that lawyer so, needless to say, we were skeptical of lawyers prior to meeting with Michael. In our first meeting, Michael told us what to expect in this process from beginning to end and stated his fee up front and advised us to expect a few other court costs as well. Everything he said on day one is pretty much how the entire process unfolded. No unexpected charges or unexpected hoops to jump through. A lot had to be done to accomplish the adoption, but none of it was unexpected. Also, Michael was very patient with us, answered phone calls or returned them promptly and always answered emails promptly. For our needs and expectations, Michael was and will be a great asset. We plan on using him again early next year for some estate planning. Highly recommended.

My ex-husband and I sought an amicable divorce, and Robert served as my lawyer. He was an excellent communicator, very professional, and reasonable priced. I would recommend him to anyone in our situation.

I used Taylor Law and Mediation for a quick custody modification here in Boise, Idaho. I have to say, the service was affordable, very timely, and Taylor Law was super responsive. We did all of our mediation via Zoom and email and the whole process took less than a few weeks from beginning to end. I would 100% recommend this law practice for anyone looking for legal services.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience having a consult with this law firm. The gentleman I spoke with was highly knowledgeable, with a keen legal mind and great emotional intelligence. He helped me to better generally understand how Idaho law governs the process I am interested in, gave great practical advice about the ins and out of what retaining Taylor law would be like, and was a genuinely compassionate and kindhearted person. I can tell from this call that Taylor law is one of the best forms in the Treasure Valley. Retaining them will place great resources and knowledge at one’s fingertips. I believe anyone would receive an organized service from sharp legal minds at this firm.

I worked through an unexpected divorce. I am Army Active duty, and currently on overseas assignment. My now ExWife has decided she did not want to join and would rather divorce me. I was scared, and had no idea what to. I went on a hunt for lawyers. I sat down with several. Out of all of them, I liked Jake Hardee, of Hardee, Piñol and Kracke. His enthusiasm and optimism made me feel like I had a chance to get what I needed, and boy did we. Hands down, I fully believe we navigated and dealt our way to a wonderful deal. All thank to Jake and his team. They were available even whilst I was overseas. And when the times didn't line up, I was able to email them and knew they would follow up ASAP. They have a great team over there, and I would recommend to anyone dealing with the fallout of a divorce

If you are going through a divorce or have any family law issues, these are the attorneys to use. I used Dan & Jake Hardee, and they were absolutely amazing and on point with their knowledge and care for my daughter and me. They both were attentive to my needs and the fact that it was an ever-changing issue, they never backed off because of that, instead, they listened and helped! They were right there ready to help and defend me every step of the way. They also never did anything to prolong the case. I cannot say the same for the opposing counsel!
These guys are superlative at what they do!

The Team at Hardee, Piñol & Kracke, PLLC has been fantastic during the past few months. This is especially true of Rich Pinol. He’s provided excellent, realistic feedback and transparent legal counsel. Rich knows the mechanics of the courts and bases his rationale on facts and logic. I greatly appreciate all he has done.

Nate has been a HUGE help throughout my custody agreement with my son’s father. As a single mother I had not the nearest clue what was going to happen and I was referred to Nate by a family friend, from the consultation I knew that he was someone I could rely on and loved how upfront and honest he was with how things were going to go. Both he and Katelynn made me feel at ease whenever I didn’t understand a certain issue and always answered any questions or concerns I had. Despite some unpleasant encounters with the other party they still remained very professional and assertive. I know who I will go to if I ever need help again. They have helped remove a huge weight off my shoulders by being supportive of my decisions and standing by me. They completely understood why I wanted a graduated schedule for a parent with little involvement. You are amazing at what you do and I am forever grateful for you!

After a 7-month long high-conflict divorce process with another attorney I knew my case was not handled the way it should be. I reached out to a friend who referred me to Nate. Nate had to jump into a very high-conflict divorce litigation process and had to undo a lot of damage done by how my first attorney handled my case. Nate took on the job, buckled down, and put much effort into my case. He did not make promises that he could not keep and always gave his solid and professional opinion when I had questions. I had to learn to trust Nate because I had been burned by my previous counsel, but I listened to Nate, followed through with his legal counsel, and the outcome was better than I could have imagined. Justice was truly served and I would not have been able to get through this nightmare without Nate and his team. He is knowledgeable, competent, and I could tell he was well-respected by the judge and court staff. I would highly recommend Nate to anyone I know who is in need of professional legal services.

The first thing that struck me was that Robert was very empathetic and calm. I felt like everything was going to be ok because he would guide me through the process comfortably. I was right. He explained everything in detail, answered all of my questions, followed up with email and mailed documents and instructions, and handled his end quickly and efficiently. His years of experience showed, and gave me confidence in not only him, but in myself because I knew I had a strong counselor to lean on when needed him. And his fee is very reasonabe! I've been in situations before where the fee I was given was added onto... a lot! Not here. I very highly recommend Robert!!

Was referred to Trout to handle a very simple order to show cause. Fee churning in my opinion with two attorneys doing the work of one.
Should have been a bill for no more than $10,000 in my opinion and I received a bill for $21,000 for a very basic order to show cause. When I questioned them about the large bill, they agreed to discount 10% but $19,000 is still about double what this should have cost in my opinion.

Kim Trout is an outstanding attorney. He worked tirelessly with us on our case for ten tough months. He was amazingly knowledgeable, calm and supportive.

The only mistake that has ever been made with regards to Trout Law's service is not getting them involved earlier. With that, I'm not talking only in times of what may be seen as, "trouble", I'm speaking to any business start or evolution that occurs in my business ventures where I want to go in with as much wisdom as possible for the benefit of all parties involved.

I just wanted to help the people in very tough situation and in uncertain condition of their life. I know the pain and uncertainty in identifying a right attorney which is the most important step during this period. My case is an unique of it's kind and a complex one. I can’t express my painful situation when I initially contacted and met Shelley, honestly there are no words. I was in completely uncertain condition and pro se and nearing the due date to respond to the court for a petition from my ex. That was when I met Shelly. She was very kind, patient and discussed all the case background in detail. Immediately after that she started working and clearly defined the path to an amazing outcome of the case in detail. I can’t imagine where I am today and for sure it would not have happened without Shelley. She is very talented, patient, well organized and extremely dedicative. I could just forget about my case as it was in her hands. She was always used to be very proactive, responsive and taken care of all of my case beyond an attorney and helped me to bring me to the situation where I am today.
She is very unique attorney for such a reasonable fee. For sure she deserves multiple times higher fee than what she actually charges for her work and that too with no compromise on the work that she does. I am sure her intention is to do the service to the community for a nominal fee and so she is helping the community like that, otherwise it’s impossible to get such a great attorney with that much of high quality work. One can just pick Shelley as one’s attorney when in need without doing any research.
Lastly one most important point: Due to some personal constraints, she had to take break from her work, but my case was seriously in progress. The day when I heard about her withdrawal news, I was almost like collapsed with that news. But she transitioned very very smoothly and carefully, and made me feel like I am completely safe and after that only, she withdrew from the case. During this process, I could not think of her dedication and sincerity in making sure that she referred and transferred my case to the best attorney, transferred all my case documents, expressed her interest to provide all case details as and when needed to later attorney and made sure that the transfer happened very carefully and smoothly and after that only, she exited from my case. Just because of her and my later attorney, I am living my life peacefully today, otherwise I can’t even imagine my situation. I appreciate all your help, Shelley and I don’t have any words to convey my sincere thanks to you. You literally saved me completely. Anybody in need, please don’t waste time and money in searching multiple attorneys. Contact Shelly right away and if she is available and accepts your case, then I am sure you are the luckiest person and will be placed at the safe place finally.

UPDATE after Steve Wieland RESPONSE:
Steve Wieland, your response provides even more support in what a horrible attorney you are.
Let's address your fabrications (lies):
1. The judge gave us an award of $50.00 NOT the Million plus we had asked for!
2. We were NOT awarded any Punitive Damages!
3. We asked for attorney fees that added to over $200,000.00, we were only awarded approximately $58,000.00 for the “Timber Trespass” issue as you did NOT win any of our damages as you did NOT provide any experts at trial!
4. We did NOT get any Court Costs or equitable relief awarded!
5. We LOST our easement that had been in the family for 120 plus years thanks to your incompetence!
6. You kept our piddly $7062.60 the judge gave us for the 50 plus trees that were stolen from us! (We should have won a lot more)
7. We sued you for malpractice and your insurance company agreed to settle with us to which you were given the remaining amount of your fraudulent fees!
8. We did NOT want to settle our Fraud Claim and Malpractice claim against you, but our attorney demanded it as our expert witness we were utilizing to sue you for malpractice had worked in the same law firm as you and a conflict of interest arose!
Shame on you Steve for continuing to defraud the public! All of this is public record for all to see! Everyone who seeks the truth will see that you are a liar!

I'm not a client; I'm Daniel, Steve, and Jaren's peer. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this firm to clients I am unable to serve due to conflicts or because their matter is outside my realm of knowledge. In my experience, the attorneys at Mooney Wieland Warren are passionate, professional, ethical, tenacious, and zealous advocates for their clients. Anyone looking for competent legal representation would be in great hands with this firm.

After reading attorney Steven Wieland’s bio, where he proclaims; “Winning at trial in a real-estate easement dispute involving a large lakefront commercial-development property in Northern Idaho” Well, I (the Trust manager) just had to respond!
The Trust originally filed a lawsuit against two entities in Kootenai County Idaho, regarding an easement issue, illegal timber trespass, trespass, and other issues in October 2018, after sustaining millions of dollars in damages to their 120-year-old farmland, which included defendants building an illegal road on their property, and cutting down approximately seventy (70) one hundred (100) plus foot tall trees that can never be replaced.
I reached out to Steve Wieland in January 2020, after our first attorney quit prior to Trial (Scheduled for early March 2020), wherein Steve proclaimed that he was an “Expert on land issues, especially easements, and was an experienced trial attorney.”
In Steve’s first three weeks, Steve charged the Trust approximately $18,000.00 primarily for reading through the case notes I had provided.
Steve also charged the Trust ridiculous fees to research how he would represent the Trust, even though he had stated that he was an “Expert” on the issues being litigated. Steve later jokingly stated that he didn’t think the Trust would pay him that much…REALLY…what choice did the Trust have! They were desperate and it was too late to find anyone else and Steve took advantage of this fact.
The next couple of weeks, Steve charged even more outrageous charges for “…reviewing the case and strategy on how to win” instead of getting discovery completed, finding experts, preparing for a continuance, etc…
At the first hearing Steve was unprepared and failed to procure a continuance for trial.
The Trust desperately needed to disclose expert witnesses in order to win their damages. Steve failed to obtain any experts and failed to disclose the ones I had procured on behalf of the Trust, even though the judge allowed him time to submit them.
The attorney who drafted the Trust original easement even met with Steve prior to trial to provide ideas on trial strategy regarding the illegitimate amended easement document (presented by defendants) in question as it was obvious that said amended easement had been manipulated and changed from its original format. Steve missed the opportunity to utilize “Failure of the Meeting of Minds” as one example to rid said bogus amended easement.
The Trust was unable to secure a large damage amount at Trial as NO EXPERTS were retained to prove the loss in damages to their property.
Steve had attempted to utilize his wife, Jaren, and even brought her with him for a vacation (at the Trust expense) in beautiful North Idaho where the two of them spent a great deal of time in the local pubs instead of adequately preparing for trial! Steve later charged the Trust approximately $30,000.00 plus in attorney fees on behalf of his wife who did absolutely NOTHING!
During trial, Steve did not properly cross defendants witness, Sandy Young aka VERDIS, who the Trust believed had forged the amended easement document that was being disputed.
The Trust was not awarded the million plus in damages to their property and only received the minimal amount of $50 dollars from the judge because Steve had never procured any expert witnesses to testify at Trial as to the extent of damages!
Steve eventually sought almost $200,000.00 in attorney fees and costs for doing very little paperwork, and absolutely nothing to help the case!
We hired another attorney to appeal.
A monkey in a suit could have won the case with the overwhelming evidence I had provided to Steve to ensure a win!
It was a no-brainer!
The Trust eventually pursued legal malpractice against Steve Wieland
So, before you consider hiring Steve Wieland (I would run for my life), make sure you have him put everything in writing and that he actually knows the subject matter you need legal assistance with!
SEE RESPONSE!

I chose Mr. Hadzic to represent me in a custody case after several dangerous incidents with my daughter's father. The whole situation was a tricky one and there were many things that required a creative approcach, but none of it even seemed to phase him. No matter what issue arose in the case, he was prepared and ready with a solution. He was kind and empathetic surrounding the more sensitive information that needed to be discussed regarding DV incidents pertinent to my case and he was determined and knowledgeable throughtout. He was extremely professional and quick to respond when I had questions or concerns. He was straightforward and honest with me which helped me prepare and get ready for everything that was happening. I now have full custody of my daughter and am able to provide her a safe environment to grow and thrive in. I will forever be grateful that I chose him to represent me in such an important time in our lives.

I’ve been an attorney since passing the Ohio Bar in 1972 . The first few years of my career was in private practice , then a year in the Federal Government and then 32 years in corporate / construction law with one large international engineering firm . I know how a good lawyer proceeds . After my wife’s sudden death I turned to Scott for My own estate planning upon a recommendation from another retired highly successful counsel . Scott was always accessible and incredibly skillful in estate planning , a subject on which I was a bush league rookie . Working with Scott and his paralegal, Jynx, was a delight and highly enlightening . As a successful attorney myself I can highly and unequivocally recommend Scott . If you want the “right stuff “ just go no farther.

In my estimation, Scott Learned is a legal God and one heck of a nice man. He has been helping me in very difficult and complex litigation since 2012. He knows the law and has been an outstanding mentor in helping me to understand my position and what can and can not be done. He is wise, objective, and articulate in his advice. He is a superb listener and has an excellent, excellent eye for detail and organization. He has never failed to respond to my emails and calls in a timely fashion. Since my case started I have seen many letters and court documents written by other attorneys. Scott’s writing skills are of the highest, finest caliber. His representation has been superb and I recommend Scott Learned for legal representation unconditionally!

We are unmarried but live together and have joint assets that we wanted to protect as well as ensure we have legal power of attorney in case of accident or illness, etc. Scott explained all the options and helped us select the quickest and least expensive route to achieve our goals. He was also very helpful in explaining the pros/cons of wills versus trusts. I would highly recommend anyone looking into estate or domestic planning to give him a call - you can't sort all this stuff out for yourself using online or free legal services!!

The staff is very polite and helpful with all my needs, which made things so easy for me on my case, as well as my paralegal and my attorney. The attorney listened to everything I had to say, also to all my questions and went above and beyond my expectations with my case. The office is very inviting, which made me feel at home on my visits. I highly recommend Mossman law office.

Brittany Ocampa is the nicest caring person that understands and works very hard. She is very understanding of situations that involve un fairness and bad faith/biased practices in the court of law. She has been the best and involved so far more than anyone in that office. She really does care about people with permanent disability problems and mental health.

Went in for a consultation and was cut short simply because I said the defendant has a history of actions and the attorney stated he won’t get in the middle of it even if I pay. What a joke
