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

Wasn't really appreciating the attitude that I received. Cant think of a reason why an attorney would deny your case as well recommend a different attorney.

I was referred to Pat Kershisnik through lawpoint for a free consultation offered through my job's employee assistance program. I recieved an email from a representative asking for a date/time to talk with Mr. Kershisnik. I replied back that I was available Friday, July 26th at 11:30 am for a phone consultation. After confirming the date and time they said that Pat would be calling me at that time. I did not recieve a call from Pat until 12:35pm, over an hour later. He left me a VM stating that he was scheduled to talk to me. I called him back about 10 minutes later and told him he was an hour late calling me, and instead of apologizing or explaining that maybe there was a scheduling error, he proceeded to get mad at me and told me I could find someone else to work with and hung up on me. I called him right back and started to tell him that I did not appreciate him hanging up on me and that he should not be treating potential clients that way. He then proceeded to start over talking me and telling me that if I didnt want his help then to find someone else and hung up on me a second time. At this point I had given up on calling him back but wanted to share my experience incase someone was looking to hire him. I am going through the worse time of my life with a divorce and custody looming over me and this is how Mr. Kershisnik treated me. I dont know if he was having a bad day or what, but I have never been treated so mispoorly by any company or organization such as Kershisnik Law, PLLC.

I went with Erika as a recommendation from someone else who hired her for their divorce. My divorce went to court because my ex refused to let me have my children for 50% of the time and refused to work out any type of percentage on the equity of our home and expected the court to give her the home and all of it's equity without giving me any whatsoever. I hired Erika to try and get equal custody of my kids and an equal share of the marital home.
Throughout the trial, it felt as though Erika was on my ex's side every time she complained about anything through her lawyer. Every time any accusation was leveled against me by my ex, Erika would approach me already believing I had done whatever my ex said and tell me why I shouldn't be doing it instead of even asking me what the situation is first or asking if I had in fact done what I was accused of.
Example: Several times my ex complained I was withholding all my money from her when, in fact, I had removed her access to the online bank account but still kept her debit card active for her to spend (with no limits). I sent emails to her saying I was removing her access to the online accounts but she still had her debit card and could spend whatever she needed.
My ex only told her lawyer that I wasn't giving her any money. Erika emailed me saying I absolutely was not allowed to withhold money from her and how it would look bad and how my ex still needed to be able to feed the kids and everything. This was the first communication I had received from Erika about this matter and her first instinct was that I was doing it and she needed to stop me from doing that so she didn't lose the case.
During talks with her, many times I felt as though I had to defend the way I just wanted to parent my children to her. Or what I was asking from the divorce.
Ultimately, it felt like Erika is used to defending women against men who are trying to abuse the system in their favor just to get one over on their ex-wives and treated me accordingly even though I was her client.
To be fully transparent. During the case, I won the custody I was seeking. I received a smaller portion of the equity of the home's value when the trial first started (40%/60% split that I offered to the judge because I make more money than she does) . However, the marital home's value increased substantially during the divorce (by approximately $140k). I asked Erika about trying to submit a new appraisal or what I could do to get 40% of the remaining equity of the house when it was sold and was told there was nothing I could do about it and lost out on 40% of the additional equity money my ex pocketed from the sale of the house.
I would not recommend if you are a man, she seems to already have an idea how all men operate and that is how you will be treated. You will be driving your entire case and be on the defensive with her from the beginning.

If I could leave a review with zero stars I would! Really read all reviews I hired them and it was a horrible experience. Took a deal because my lawyer said prison would be off the table and totally screwed my self. You hire them and you deal with different attorneys and when it’s time to go to court you’re dealing with someone you never met or talked to. I had to hire another during sentencing because my lawyer basically told me to get ready to go an be away for 6-12 months. I’m not the only person this happened to. Not an I out $6,500 now I’m out double because I had to hire another attorney. Dan Taylor told me he would block me for being “disrespectful” because I asked him what did I pay for and explained how much of a nightmare it’s been. You have to reach out to them they don’t reach out to you. You give them money to fight for you and they do the complete opposite

Sean Breen’s helped me get sole legal and physical custody of my baby boy. The process was so fast and painless. I was very nervous, his confidence and knowledge reassured me and kept me feeling confident as well. He was very passionate about what he was doing and communicated with me about every possible scenario and step we would be taking. I am beyond please with the work he has done for me and my family . After we had won the court hearing he also helped me write out my final will and testimony , he’s phenomenal at what he does all around.

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone. I retained Danielle for a very difficult child custody case. The first document she sent me to get notarized had another client's name on it, which I had to point out. Then she corrected the name and resent me to the document to sign and get notarized again. This time I had to point out that she still left another state, and county on the document. I believe if I pay someone $3,000 to do a good job for me, they could at least make sure MY NAME is on that court document and my state and county are correct. She filed a couple of documents with the court after I had proofread them, and she charged me $1,500 for that. I then had to retain another lawyer and pay another hefty retainer fee in order to feel a little more comfortable that my attorney would be competent enough to provide the services I paid for.

I was referred to Scarlett Law from a dear friend, Danielle had helped her resolve a serious custody issue a few years prior. My first impression was the wisdom and knowledge Danielle brings to the table from her years as a litigator as well as prosecutor. Danielle's team are as easy to work with as she is and were committed to our common goal. I had to take legal action when my former wife decided to withhold visitation and would not reason together for a solution. Danielle worked diligently to resolve this at every step. Danielle's team worked with me to collect all the information needed throughout the court process and were in contact to assist in drafting court documents. I was well aware from the start of litigation that this would most likely be going all the wat to trial. With Danielle's perseverance, even through a few rough patches, we were successful in a very favorable outcome from the judge! I did not expect any miracles in this endeavor, my only hope was to reunite with my kiddo and secure my time with her. Thanks to Danielle and her great staff in what seemed like the longest year! I recommend Danielle, especially to Dad's in need of quality representation.

Danielle has been amazing, this was my third time in a custody battle with my ex husband but my first time having Danielle in my corner. Danielle listened to me and fought for me and my son. She really cares about the children involved and want the best outcome for them. I have recently recommended her and I will continue to recommend her. She has significant experience in custody cases and she files everything in a timely manner. If your in need of a lawyer she is the one you want I know you won’t be disappointed.

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!

Tore came highly recommended. She is a big advocate for kids and is a very good lawyer. She doesn't mess around and is very efficient at moving through the divorce process quickly. I interviewed 4 lawyers and she was the best. Listen to her and let her do her job and you won't be disappointed.
