I really enjoyed working with Matthew Crowther. He worked hard, fast and really helped me get the compensation I deserved after having permanent damage after a car accident! Emme Tran was super sweet on the phone! I highly recommend.

I was involved in an auto/pedestrian accident in 2021. I was simply knocked down to the pavement in a parking lot.
It didn't seem like a "big deal" until I started to have some debilitating back pain. I just wasn't able to stand for any length of time, which was negatively affecting my everyday life.
I contacted Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C. about my case.
Matthew Crowther, Esq. and his team handled my case, first getting a settlement from the driver's insurance company and then actually filing against my personal insurance company.
It took some time, actually about three years, but Matthew was able to negotiate a six figure settlement for me.
The fact that I deposited a six figure check into my bank account last week still hasn't actually sunk in.
Matthew and his team did an amazing job for me and I would certainly give him my highest recommendation!

Raj is an excellent attorney who guided me through the whole process of my case. He got me more money than expected and got it done quickly. It only took him 5 months to complete my case. Thanks to everyone at Max Law

Raj Chohan was fantastic in getting me restitution in my personal injury case. Even with the difficulties of the pandemic, he worked thru the issues with me and delivered beyond my expectations. I have no qualms about recommending him and his law firm for personal injury cases. He is top notch, got me more than I expected and did it in rather quickly. You can do no better.

I worked with Raj Chohan for 2.5 years on a medical claims case -in this case a bike accident with an at fault driver. He was able to recover the maximum amount of coverage (the Max law firm). Despite the hoops and hurdles that were necessary in my case, Raj walked me through every step of the way-with minimal effort on my part, apart from making sure all my injuries were addressed. Raj is very knowledgable about the law and has a talented team at his disposal. He's very thorough and detail oriented. He was able to explain the strategies, tactics, and expectations clearly and in exquisite detail every step of the way. He was also very personable and respectful of my time, which I greatly appreciate. I never had to call him. He always followed up with me, which again made him very easy to work with. I would highly recommend him.

After battling 40 years of disease, my mother passed away at 68 years old. One year later, my father unexpectedly encountered a stroke and onset dementia. We were placed into a position of having to respond and plan at a pace almost unbearable. We were now the third generation requesting assistance from Anne Jorgensen in Medicaid and asset planning. She and her team navigated us down an unknown road with grace, promptness, kindness, and professionalism. I can't speak highly enough about the service we've been provided. My sincere thanks!

Clark Dray & his team
Have been absolutely amazing! My case took a little longer, but they were patient with me throughout the whole process, and answered all of my (many, detailed) questions- thank you!
I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to file bankruptcy based on my experience. I was actually referred by someone myself.
Clark is pretty laid back yet you feel like he knows what he is doing. He didn’t overcomplicate the process, yet he was effective.
Cassie also helped out a ton! Everyone was great.
Thank you so much to Clark & the Dray Legal team!

I highly recommend Brent Warkentine and his staff. After working with other lawyers and spending unnecessary money without making any progress with my ex, Brent was a game-changer. He is highly experienced, efficient, kind, smart, and no-nonsense. With Brent in my corner, I felt confident and heard. He is a clear and honest straight-talker. You will feel assured that you are in the best hands, as there is no situation he hasn’t seen or dealt with in some way.
My case was emotional and contentious and Warkentine Law kept me on an even knell while moving the issues forward professionally and successfully. I am very satisfied and relieved with the outcome. As well, Brent is mindful not to charge for unnecessary work or drive up costs and helped me stay focused on the big picture instead of getting caught up in small issues. Brent is ethical and fair, with an unmatched reputation as an effective advocate. I’m blessed to have found Warkentine Law and will continue to use Brent and his staff for any legal issues in the future.

Brent definitely earned his fees for my case! Difficult ex and difficult circumstances overall.
Brent, Vivian and Amy handled everything professionally and with attention to the details.
They also were compassionate and caring making an extremely stressful situation more bearable.
Brent’s knowledge of the law and how courts and judges react to mitigating circumstances is extremely helpful. His recommendations comes from experience which helps in calming a client who’s dealing with difficult situations like divorce for the first time.
So hire Brent and let him steer the ship. You’ll be grateful you did.

I could not have asked for a better attorney when I hired Brent and his team for a very complicated and high conflict divorce case. Brent is extremely knowledgeable and detailed in his work and he took the time to walk me through all aspects of my case. Brent and his team are incredibly skilled, hard-working, responsive and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Brent and his team!

Lauren helped my husband and me during my permanent residency application process. She made everything much easier for us, we couldn’t handle it on our own. Lauren was a great attorney to work with. She kept us updated on our progress, and she was always there for us to help and answer questions. Lauren was so professional; she filed everything on time, provided everything they needed, completed each stage without an issue, and brought us success in receiving my green card. We didn’t have to worry about anything because we were so confident in her representation in our case. Thank you, Lauren, for being a great person! I appreciate your dedication to helping and guiding immigrants in the United States.

Lauren is the best lawyer hands down! She took my case since day one, answered all my questions, guided me through the immigration process, very responsible, honest and reliable.

What a God-send Lauren McGee was to our process. She was always in communication, very attentive, didn't waste our time, worked through the difficult moments, and took a case that others had turned down. I was a little uneasy since she was in Colorado and we were needing to cross at Tijuana. However, that never became a problem. She even came to the final interview scheduled in San Diego for very little expense. In the end, SUCCESS which equals a green card, was my husband's reward!! Thank you for your understanding of the process, your encouragement over every hurdle, being honest when needed, and not giving up on us even to the bitter end! If you're looking for a great immigration attorney, be sure to see if Lauren has an open space for you! I promise, you won't regret it!!

Working with Law Offices of Said Sharbini, has been pleasant from start to finish. I live in Florida had a couple of warrants that needed to be taken care of and Contacted a few lawyers there; a couple were a bit cheaper. Called Mr. Sharbini and we had a nice conversation. I was concerned he was a little bit more expensive than the others, but like he said, "You pay for what you get". I took the chance; I'm glad I did he got Amanda Borsman on my case she was able to get one settled the next day and took about two months to get the second one handled. During that time, her or the office, never left me waiting responded quickly and explained the law where I understood she was patient and listened to my concerns. I loved the results from both cases; even got a portion of my trust fund back. Very honest firm and Highly Recommend them.

Honestly, hiring Said was a better experience than I even hoped for. Not only did he keep my desired solution in mind when he took on my case, but he kept me informed of the process, timeline, and gave me post resolution factors to consider. Without hiring Said, I’m beyond certain that I would have been treated unfairly throughout my complaint process and I would not have been made whole.

I engaged Attorney Pigott recently to help me develop a number of complex, interrelated agreements. He spent a great deal of time understanding the situation under which we were trying to operate. I was amazed at how quickly and thoroughly he grasped what we were trying to accomplish. He then proceeded to draft accurate and coordinating agreements that were right on target. In my mind, Attorney Pigott is what a lawyer should be... a good partner!

From the day I first started speaking with Dave I felt that he was a true professional but also a down to earth and "normal" guy. With very little to no prior experience with the legal system I was both nervous and confused. I felt that the legal system and other lawyers spoke in their own language or focused on the process, not me and my concerns or needs. This again offered me no comfort nor sense of control of my future! Dave was the professional that offered me the credentials to prove he was qualified, but more importantly I could relate to as a person. Dave always answers my calls, text and emails. Dave is there to clarify and explain things but talks with me, not to me, in practical and realistic language. It is Dave's style of communication and composure that creates a professional working relationship that feels like you have a "lawyer friend" on staff, not an Attorney you have hired. Dave has not always given me the answer I wanted to hear but he has told me the truth and prepared me for decisions I have had to make or accept. I consider Dave one of my friends and I believe he works hard to continue to ensure me, my family and our future is protected, prepared and supported on any legal questions or concerns. I encourage every one to do your home work on Dave's service to our country, humanitarian efforts and local contributions. I am a real person and have experienced real life issues. I write this as encouragement to others who find them selves confused and concerned on a particular legal issue. If you are a "real person", average Joe or an elite professional, I ensure you..... you will be able to relate to Dave. Good luck and best wishes,

I believe Ciancio Ciancio Brown is really known for their outstanding work in the area of divorce, personal injury and criminal defense, but I used them for several complicated real estate issues some of which needed to be litigated. I couldn't have been happier with the work Mr. Ciancio along with Kyle Kreischer and Wes Wollenweber provided me with. Not only are they exceptional attorneys, they are genuinely kind and caring people which is somewhat of an anomaly in the profession. I would highly recommend CCB for leases, tenant non compliance of leases, property purchase and sale among their other areas of speciality.

It's been awhile since I used his service, but I am very pleased with the results. It's difficult to explain, but for the short story, my identity was "stolen" by a debt collector by adding my name name as an "alias". This was all done without my knowledge. You see, I was in the middle of getting my house refinanced through the Home Affordability Act. I was going through a very rough time time due to disability and the mortgage company was on the side pushing for Fore Closure. As a result I was keeping very close tabs of my credit history making sure I was aware of everything possible. During this time I had received notification of some negative information on my credit report. Knowing I have been working very hard to get back on my feet I was sure all of my payments were on time, etc. so I got concerned about maybe some foreclosure event taking place. I went to Adams County web site and checked public records on myself just to see what was or wasn't in there. I was shocked what I found next. There was a judgement listed under my name, and my name was listed as an alias. Went down to Adams County to find out what the heck was going on only to be detained (without choice) because there was an arrest warrant and my name was listed as an alias. After embarrassing the deputies when the ran my fingerprints through CBI, I was released and given copies of the case for which this all happened. After careful review I found a sleazy debt collected had basically convinced himself and then Adams County Court that my name should be added as an alias to a debt collection. Well I was upset to say the least. After trying to address this on my own first it was apparent that I needed help. I had contacted Marks office and explained my situation. Mark was very generous in coming to my home and listening to my situation.
Mark attempted to resolve issue out of court first, however as one might expect we ended up in filing for action. Once that was done, things were very different. Mark was able to keep me calm while handling the case. I'm not real easy to deal with when I'm upset, my emotion gets in the way of clear thinking. Mark was able to navigate through the process to a clear resolution. Mark was very gracious in understanding my financial situation and worked out a payment plan so I could rest at night knowing I'm being taken care and I'm not going to go bankrupt. My good name has been restored, and judgement removed! No one should have to go through this, but I'm glad Mark was around to help.

Mr. Garlan is a remarkable lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and is affordable!! I (unfortunately) had to use him twice in one calendar year, very stressful time and he put my wife and I at ease. He deeply cared about my case, he cares about me as a person and how I was handling it all. Both times he was completely invested in my case, was easily accessible anytime of day and responded quickly. He was aggressive and got the results in our favor.
Thank you Michael for your compassion!!

The IRS made a mistake and thought I owed 5 figures from several years ago from income that they double counted. Not a fun letter to get, and the incredibly incompetent IRS agents were impossible to communicate, let alone reason with. (How do you get 80K new employees and $8 billion and still require fax and snail mail as your only options for communication years later???). Elizabeth and Jason took great care of me, quickly identified the mistake, and then dealt with the IRS for months to get them to arrive at the conclusion that, actually, I didn't owe 5 figures and instead they gave me a $5 refund.
They were highly competent, super on-top of communications and updates, and at no point did I ever have to call them for an update. They would call me. Highly recommend their services.

While divorce is never easy, my ex-husband and I have repeatedly found Lenny Tanis to be a great resource for us over the years as we have navigated the dynamics of a changing co-parenting situation. Lenny is knowledgeable, kind and patient. He has been a trusted resource to our family over the last 8 years. I would highly recommend his mediation services to any couple navigating the complexities of a separation, divorce and/or co-parenting relationship.
