I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Attorney Kurt Smith for his exceptional handling of my divorce. His meticulous attention to detail and sound advice significantly improved the process compared to when I initially filed independently. Throughout this challenging experience, Mr. Smith maintained a high level of professionalism and communication.
His unwavering confidence and optimism were instrumental in guiding me through this difficult time. I am truly satisfied with the outcome of the case, which met all of our objectives.
Additionally, I found Mr. Smith’s fees to be reasonable.
Thank you again, Mr. Smith.

Sometimes in life we need assistance navigating the twists n turns. There are so many attorneys to choose from. In my experience Kirk Smith is one of the VERY BEST. He is experienced, caring and his communication is consistent and prompt. That is hard to find.

I sought out Dave's assistance to get a legal name change done. The process was easy and seamless. I think from beginning to end was about 2 months tops. Dave stayed in communication throughout the whole process.

I hired David to write a pre-nuptial agreement for me. Unfortunately my marriage did not work out nor did the pre-nup.
The pre-nup had multiple inconsistencies that opposing council pointed out and thus it offered no protection in the settlement.

I totally would recommend Stephen . He helped me with a legal matter with my sister and did a great job. This was Three years ago. And here just recently helped me get questions and answers I need for my deceased fathers estate. Both times he knew what he was doing. He cares about his clients and does a great job.

I hired Stephen thru a referral from my parents lawyer Wilford Taylor. I hired him to preserve all that my parents wanted. He talked me into changing everything my parents paid good money to have written on their Wills Trusts and Estate! He wrapped it all up nicely and handed it all to my brothers with a bow and I got nothing and the brother my mother took out of her estate got half sharing all with my other brother who Stephen talked me into giving Executorship!!!
Beware! When emotions are involved I wanted my relationship with my lawyer and did exactly what he asked me to do...I got screwed in the end and got nothing!!! Even out of moms vault because he said "how do I know this $100.00 bill is not worth a million"? Idiot google it!
He is terrible to say the least!!!
STAY AWAY RUN AWAY!

Our company finds money through various sources, then finds the heirs who can claim those funds. Stephen has done all our court work in AZ for many years and has successfully represented us. He's very knowledgeable and through his tenacity was responsible for getting our legitimate heirs paid when the State read their own laws incorrectly. I wish the other attorneys I have to work with in other states were half as good!

This lawyer dropped the ball on my bankruptcy. He claimed that he never received information I had emailed. I even had proof of the emails sent and read receipts. I had provided him with everything he needed. I would wait for responses and would have to call and email several times. Finally, time ran out and the case was dismissed by the judge all because of this lawyers laziness. Then, he said I'd have to pay all over again! Thousands down the tubes for a woman having to file bankruptcy due to covid and loss of work. Gee thanks.

I hired Mr. Biddle for my bankruptcy and he was amazing. Not only was he extremely responsive but, even after my bankruptcy was over, he still helped me with my requests for information when I was getting ready to buy a house. My title company told me they had to "order" information about my mortgage and title but Mr. Biddle looked it up online, and emailed me my discharge papers and the information about my mortgage and title that the title company said would take over a week to receive. He really is a great lawyer and put me at ease both before, during and after my bankruptcy. I can't recommend Mr. Biddle enough.

Divorce is horrible by itself. Annette and her staff made the process so much worse. Forgot or blew off appointments made by me and spouses attorney, only conduct business via email, used legal jargon I didn’t understand and when I asked for clarity both she and her staff were condescending. These items were horrible and then I get a letter from Annette telling me she will withdraw my case unless I ‘replenish’ my retainer. Somehow, my $4500 was blown although she and her staff did very little for me. She wanted another $2500 and since money was tight, I asked if she could reduce the replenishment. She sent me an angry, unprofessional email back comparing her services to a surgeon (neither her bedside manner nor her skills are anything close to a surgeon). I just received my final bill for her as somehow she blew through the last $500 in my retainer although she did very little for me. She nickel and dimed me the entire process and when I asked for clarification on the billing statement, her response was very unprofessional. I would have received better service hiring a paralegal. Save yourself further hardship and find another attorney who actually cares about her clients.

I Contacted Ms. Sandoval's office on 8/23/2023 and spoke to Katelyn. I provided Katelyn my credit card information and was scheduled for a consult with Ms. Sandoval on 9/1/23 at 11:30am. After rearranging my work schedule, on 9/1/23 I sat awaiting the phone call I was to receive at 11:30am. Ms. Sandoval nor anyone from her office ever called me. I then called Ms. Sandoval's office thinking maybe I was supposed to call in?? Katelyn again answered. I explained that I was scheduled for a consult with Ms. Sandoval at 11:30 and she hadn't called. Katelyn then said "We never received your information from the email you were sent so you don't have an appointment".
I explained to Katelyn that I never received an email. Katelyn went on to say "Oh ya people sometimes miss it because it goes to their junk mail. I had already checked my junk mail prior to my call and I there was no email. I told Katelyn again, I did not receive an email from her office. Katelyn would then say normally their office follows up a few days before appt to make sure everything is ready to go but she had been out sick so that didn't happen. Katelyn then told me even if I completed the paperwork that day the appt would not happen.
Since the issue I was calling about in the first place was time sensitive, I asked Katelyn when I would be able to reschedule? She said it would probably be 2 weeks out. This wasn't acceptable to me so I asked if should would please see if something sooner could be scheduled (especially since it was her office that dropped the ball). She said she would look into it and call me back that day.
I never did hear back from Katelyn or anyone else from Ms. Sandoval's office again and here it is 9/13. Very unprofessional for any business, much less a law firm.

Stephanie stood outside the courtroom and told my attorney if she did not give father sole custody now, that she would put my child in foster care. She throw papers at my face while I testified and spewed a theatrical dumpster load of laws causing me and my childless harm that continue to this day. She has done this scam for decades and I personally know several of her victims. Class action is coming...

We hired Stephanie to help us with the adoption of our son. She did an outstanding job but was not our first lawyer. Our first lawyer was fired shortly after retaining her due to personality conflicts. We explained the situation to Stephanie and she was very understanding, kind, and caring as well as being a very competent and diligent lawyer. Would definitely hire her again.

Ms. Stromfors and her team were always incredibly informative, communicative, and reliable. Ms. Stromfors was always very honest with what to expect and did not sugar coat it. She did not set unrealistic expectations. She got me results that were better than I was hoping for. I hope I never have to hire a Family Law attorney again but if so, I know exactly who I am calling.

I was looking for an attorney to handle a debt that arose from an apartment lease agreement. The landlord was playing hardball because of a negative (but honest) review I left online.
The landlord even refused to accept full payment because I insisted we sign a release.
When I contacted this Bybee character he sounded arrogant. I had to sell myself and my case to him even when I was willing to pay for his services.
While describing the situation I mentioned the negative review I left and he interjected with "there goes any good will".
There I was with my wallet open looking for representation and he did nothing but question me at every point.
If you like being treated like a second class citizen this is your guy. Otherwise I'd recommend finding someone with better bedside manners.

We were recently represented by Floyd Bybee and found that his legal sense, personal attention to client needs, and overall attitude was above and beyond. When it comes to consumer rights, he has the expertise
to navigate those areas that other attorneys simply can't deal with. He was there for us and never backed
down. A wonderful attorney!

The reviews included herein are bogus. He does very little to earn his exhorbitant fees. A little chit chat with the Prosecutor was about all I got for my money. My recommendation is to find an attorney that actually works a case v. lolling around in the court building chatting with his cohorts. I was overcharged (about double) and underserved.

Patrick and his secretary Kim are an excellent team, and I would recommend them in a heart beat to anyone facing criminal charges. Patrick is very straight forward and answered all my questions to the fullest. Kim was exceptionally well at helping me from out-of-state as well. Overall, it appeared that many of the other attorneys looked to Patrick for advice and they often seek him in the hallway for advice since he was a former prosecutor.

At first Michael Miller seemed to be caring, a good listener, and very reassuring about what needed to be done for what should have been a simple divorce. Unfortunately that didn't last long and after that it was very hard to find out what was going on with my divorce. I would ask questions and receive very short texts with legalized terms that I didn't understand...so of course following up with more questions cost more money. The final straw was when I found out from my ex husband that the divorce was finalized 5 days prior. When I contacted the office about this the response was almost like "oops." So if you're looking for someone who doesn't communicate and not proactive about keeping you informed about your divorce, Michael Miller is your guy.

In my honest opinion there couldn’t be a better attorney for high risk custody cases. I needed an aggressive and articulate litigator and Mr. Miller provided me with the legal protection I needed in order to feel fully protected. I have advocated for pro se representation for a long time, but I will certainly use attorney in the future for any of my family law needs.

Absolutely amazing results. Does exactly what he says he’s gonna do! I did exactly what he instructed me to do it all worked out perfect. My divorce and clean and I want for custody. And I’m am the male, but my intentions were sincerely In the best interest of my children. Michael Miller made sure everybody knew it. To superior courts in two different states, appeals, FBI, sheriff department, local police department, governors, just for starters. My divorce and custody case was so extraordinary the lead detective here in Arizona is actually writing a book. With mr. Michael Miller, Esquire you get what you pay for. He’s worth every penny.

I worked with these folks over at Jones, Skelton and Hochuli before they broke off into another firm. While I like a majority of these folks, the administrator is awful. If she doesn’t like you you’re out. Her name is Kara. And she fires people if they get cancer. Unless, of course, you’re a lawyer. Just think about this before choosing this firm as your law firm. And Rachel Love, Tonya died. Your assistant, that you loved so dearly passed away from ovarian cancer, and wasn’t given the opportunity to come back to work after treatment. Because Kara, who is now your administrator, told her that she has CANCER and there’s no place for her at the firm anymore. Tim is great. Rachel, I thought you were a nice person. Apparently I was wrong.

My wife’s children were removed per an emergency order resulting from a baseless claim of child abuse. Despite us having video and audio evidence that contradicted the allegations, Kelly’s advice was to wait 6-8 months for DCS to investigate. She told us that we were not able to fight the allegations or the removal of custody of the kids.
We sought several outside opinions and all were in agreement that our evidence was very strong and that *not* fighting the allegations would imply guilt on our part.
Even worse: The day that the kids were taken away, I called and the office to beg them to contact my wife by phone that day as she was very distraught. Blake Binion-Holliday told me (verbatim), “We are not a crisis line. You are entitled to legal advice and you will receive that in writing by the end of the day.” I cannot believe the lack of empathy afforded to a client in the field of family law…
In our opinion, Kelly’s office is fine for handling simple run-of-the-mill family cases. But if you have a complex case or one that goes before a judge, you need an attorney that exudes confidence and can get the judge’s attention and make your side of the case heard. Kelly proved utterly incapable of doing so - to the point that we wish we had hired the opposing attorney. Her lack of ability in front of a judge, her obvious inexperience in cases involving false allegations of abuse where DCS has become involved, and her unwillingness to admit that she was in over her head lead us to strongly recommend against representation from her office for all but the simplest of cases.

I hired Kelly for custody representation. I put $5,000 retainer which she blew through in several days and I also paid her hrly, which balance was paid in full, on time, by me. She used all my own work, forms, declarations, with nothing new to add to the table. I caught her "dealing" with opposing counsel and didn't want to help me whatsoever. In my opinion, she is only in it for the money and how she can over bill clients. She was dishonest with me and when I questioned her on certain things, she got upset with me and closed herself off. I had to start representing myself, which I absolutely did a spectacular job. Now I have fantastic representation and couldn't be happier Kelly is behind me.

I used this attorney back in 2009. She charged me a $4,000 retainer. My ex and I were able to work a lot of stuff out on our own, she she ended up having to do very little work for me. Well, she made sure she kept her $4,000 by charging for every little thing. She also left some very important items out of the parenting agreement. She claims I told her to leave them out, but I did not. Any good lawyer would not have left them out. As another reviewer stated, she "nickeled and dimed". I feel that overcharged me for the work she did and that her work was inadequate.

The previous reviews were correct about Christine Powell. Please if she is assigned to your case get her off, unless you can get on her emotions with no evidence. Christine Powell was unfortunately appointed to my case as a best interest attorney. My case involved a narcissistic parent who has been out of my children’s lives for the past several years to the point where he has been in jail for non-payment of child support.
As our court date was approaching, I called her for our initial meeting and she wanted to meet last minute. After the meeting, Powell promised me that she would do everything in her power to prevent the other parent to receive 50/50 custody. I thought that was a little odd because at that time she did not even speak with the other parent or my children.
Powell then met with the other parent the day before the hearing. Powell called me right after her meeting with the other parent and said that the other parent made allegations about me and that she believed those allegations.
Powell then proceeded to use profanity against me and spoke to me in an emotional tone. I could not believe all of the allegations Powell was saying about me especially since I have never done anything close to what she had said. For example, Powell said that I have an alcohol problem and I can’t even remember the last time I drank alcohol.
Despite all of that, Powell told me that at Court the next morning she would recommend to the Judge that I get every day except some weekends. To my surprise, at Court the next morning, Powell recommended to the judge that I get 50/50 custody, made baseless allegations against me, and recommended that I be tested for alcohol. To make matters worse Powell told the Court that she did not even need to interview my kids because her mind was already made up and the interviews would not change anything. It is devastating because I am the only parent that my children know and all one needs to do with Powell to get her to side with you is to make false allegations about the other parent.

I am the petitioner in my case. Over a year ago my now 3year-old son was abused while in his mother's care. When we broke up she kept my son from me for 2 month's before I was able to get her to court. We finished court and not even a month later his mother lied to the courts to get emergency custody of our son. I went to the courts with proof that she lied and a witness whom she told that now that she had custody of our son she would never let me see him again. The courts assigned Christine Powell to the case.
From my very first phone conversation with Christine she used offensive language told me I was guilty of what my ex said dispite my proof that my ex had committed perjury to get emergency custody of my son. She then told me to email her the information I have. A week later she says she doesn't have the time to read the emails and to mail her the papers. She also not only accused me of stalking my ex she said she believed that I was. I informed her it's impossible for me to stalk anyone without a vehicle. She also told me I wouldn't be getting my son on Halloween even after I told her that our current custody agreement says our Son spends all Holidays with both parents. She replied back with )"That's not how it works"). I replied back with haven't you even read the custody agreement? Her next email was her apology for not checking the agreement. I still didn't even get to to my son trick or treating for a hour. She has been coaching my son's mother. Which is a conflict of interest. She also refuses to give me the babysitter information that his Mom has even though it's not protected information in any way.
She lied to the courts about me even though I can prove she is lieing. This woman thinks she canmakr up laws at will. She eeven threated my boss to have me held in contempt of court if he didn't let me have the day off for a mediation that I had already requested to the courts that it be changed because I didn't have anyone to cover my shift. The judge of the case granted my request to reschedule the mediation. This woman has also orderd me to give my son to his Mom before my time is up or else.

She is the best interest lawyer for a minor child in a case I have going on. She is very basis. And she says one thing one minute and then she changes her mind a few days later. She has a good back ground history but she doesn't do her home work and shows up for court right on time and has done any research on what she is doing. Then when she was told that the case will have to come back in a month she replied she wasn't going to come. That she will call in her review of the case.

Jonathan Cavender was the lawyer in a mediation for my divorce and in the papers and part of the marital settlement, he was supposed to send me a check for the amount we both agreed upon. Jonathan completely lied to me several times claiming that he sent the check to me but I never received anythingfrom him. He asked that if I got a check from him that I was only able to cash one of them and the rest that he said he sent (which he never did) he told me to dispose of them? He did not ever send me the check and kept pushing me off for months! I still cannot get him to answer me on when it will be received or when I will get my final divorce paperwork. He is not cooperative and he is a not a good, professional lawyer.
