Steevie and attorney Mike Taylor are first-rate professionals. The entire staff was pleasant and welcoming. They helped me navigate a challenging probate case, especially given recent law changes in Michigan. If you have a probate case, I highly recommend their services. They were courteous, efficient, and demonstrated excellent communication and determination. I would gladly recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you, team!

Zero-Star Review for Robert Huth at Kirk, Huth, Lange & Badalamenti, PLC**
I feel compelled to express my profound dissatisfaction with Robert Huth's performance as the city attorney for the Charter Township of Shelby. In 2023, I initiated a formal complaint and was assured of a supportive meeting with Mr. Huth by the township supervisor, promised during a recorded call. Unfortunately, this meeting never transpired, and my attempts to communicate with the township supervisor were met with prolonged radio silence. This lack of engagement persisted into the next year, 2024, raising serious concerns about the transparency and integrity of the township’s leadership. Based on my experiences, I suspect there may be deeper issues of misconduct or corruption that are being concealed. I believe an investigation by an outside agency is necessary to uncover the full extent of what might be serious corruption within our township. This is purely my opinion, formed from the distressing lack of accountability and responsiveness I have encountered.
It was not until 2024 that I received a callback from Mr. Huth. The interaction was unexpectedly brief and unsettlingly nonchalant, as if prior discussions had taken place or resolutions offered neither of which was the case. This approach not only hindered progress on pressing issues but also left me feeling overlooked and undervalued as a concerned resident.
From my perspective, the level of engagement and urgency demonstrated by Mr. Huth falls significantly short of what is expected from someone in such a pivotal role. The responsiveness and dedication to resolving township matters efficiently and transparently are crucial, yet seem to be lacking. My experiences have led me to question whether our community's needs are genuinely being prioritized.
Based on these interactions, I believe that our township would greatly benefit from a change in this position. Someone with a robust commitment to community issues and a proactive approach to communication is sorely needed. We deserve a city attorney who not only addresses our concerns promptly but does so with the seriousness and attention they warrant.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that Mr. Huth is not the right fit for his current role as city attorney. It is my sincere hope that our township will consider making a change that better aligns with the needs and expectations of its 80,000 residents. We need leadership that is both responsive and responsible qualities that are essential for the health and well-being of our community.

My first impression was amazing however after being blown off and sent to voicemails for over a week, I highly recommend not using this agency. Mr. Michael Taylor blows off clients and lacks integrity and is lazy. He is not a fighter and lacks a fire and drive within to help people. His secretary is very sweet but just sends you to voicemail. I sent paperwork for him to review and he never got back with me. Quite honestly you would be better off going to court on your own then to have lazy lawyers like this . Zero stars

I came to Mr. marsh going through the most difficult thing I had ever and probably ever will go through. I came to him with my mother and we let him know that we did have money, and would be able to pay him but we’re poor people and we’re only going to be able to afford so much. He said it wasn’t a problem and that he would be able to help me. Now, in my opinion, I’m not sure who he helped more Me or the court because they violated my civil rights in every way they could to include telling me that I was not allowed substance abuse treatment. I have a warrant to this day, because if I stop taking my supplicate shot, I will die. With everything I have been through and where I’m at in my life, my doctor will sternly tell you I am not ready to get off this medicine. Yet the court thinks they know better and that they have the authority to tell me that I am not allowed substance abuse treatment. Over the last 2 1/2 years, I have been unable to afford another lawyer to fix this matter. I just wish I wouldn’t have given Ron marsh , the several thousand dollars I did. I’ll tell you this every time he called me the first and sometimes only things that came out of his mouth was how much money are you going to have the next time I see you, or even can I get some money now. I caught onto this just before sentencing and came around, and was glad I did because I save my last few dollars for commissary instead of giving it to this incorrigible person. I’ll also tell you that the Bondsman I used I won’t say any names made reference to Mr. marsh being his friend and told me that it would probably be a good idea if I talk to him. Now I’ve been sitting here trying to find a lawyer to help me write all these wrongs that were allowed to happen to me wow Mr. marsh was supposed to be providing me adequate legal advice and representation. Makes me really happy. I worked two jobs at near full time hours so that I was able to give him the money that I did. I won’t tell anybody what to do but maybe read some of the reviews also and see what other people say about this man

Heidi was great with me. She went with me to the UIA judge, gave a great argument according to the facts and truth. The judge ruled in my favor and I got my unemployment benefits back. She always answered my emails in a timely manner and put me at ease.

Heidi's attention to our case was nothing less than wonderful. Her knowledge of employment law and procedures exceeded my expectations. My questions were answered in a timely fashion either by email or by telephone and she was always willing to meet with us after hours when it was more convenient with our work schedules. I would recommend Heidi and her firm without hesitation and am looking forward to retaining them for my company's future legal needs !!

Extremely unresponsive to client concerns. Attempting to handle a large caseload has compromised the protection of those not in line for a "huge" payday. Reckless behavior and lack of prompt action jeopardized my case. Does not review material (chock full of incomplete information and date errors) sent on her behalf. When confornted with concerns regarding her lack of follow-up, becomes combative and solely interested in displacing blame. You will be better served by someone who truly understands employment law and has YOUR best interest in mind.

Denise was a Godsend! Going through a divorce after 22 years was devastating. Denise is compassionate but also fierce! She fought to ensure I was awarded what was justly mine for a long-term marriage. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent me during the most challenging time of my life.

In conclusion, I am of the opinion that Mr. Huth is not the right fit for his current role as city attorney.

Worked a lot with this attorney's assistant (paralegal). Hired him and his assistant to help me settle a dispute over an estate matter. He was often unavailable and away on vacations. I hired him and his assistant for legal advice and felt that they were not direct and strait forward with me regarding the fastest and most practical solutions. This created a lot of back and forth communication resulting in phone calls and emails that added hundreds of dollars to my bill.
At one point they asked me "what do you want us to do?" I was very disappointed in this question because I had no idea what to do, that's why I hired them for well over $3000, so that I didn't have to worry about what to do. They were supposed to be the experts that could tell me what was best and most practical.
Over all, I ended up feeling like they strung me along for more money instead of helping me to quickly resolve the matter. I'm not saying that they did nothing, I'm just saying that for over $3,000 they should have been able to equip me with services that satisfied my needs. Instead I felt lost and therefor was constantly having to call or email for more information that inflated the cost of their services.
Even after I "closed the file" with them, a few months later I received a request from the assistant to call them, so I did and was charged $50.00 for the call that they requested from me. That just didn't feel right. I closed the file because I was finished with their services, if they request to communicate with me after that, it should not be my job to pay them for a 5-10 minute phone call that they requested.
Very tricky business! Because of this experience I have very little faith in attorneys being ethical in their business practices and charging their customers a fair price.

This person walked right up to me in a fairly busy public place and started beating me up in front of my little child.
After police reports were filed and waiting the court date finally arrived and Colleen asked me why this person did this to me. Gee I dont know why dont you ask that person because I have no idea, then she asked what do you want out of this? Hmm i want this person found guilty. Theres a video and a witness to the whole incident. And I am pressing charges so what do you think I want. Then when I told her my child witnessed the whole thing and had nightmares after well she couldnt have cared less. She said to me well you have a ppo against the person so why press charges is basically what she said. Well hmm ppos only last a few months and this person told me to tell my child to go outside while they start fighting with me. My child saw this. Not to mention I had to go to the er and take care of 2 little babies and a child while feeling like a truck hit me for over a week but none of this seemed to make her care or think that I should even have pressed charges.

As a prosecutor that was supposed to protect me from the ppl that assaulted me, this attorney decided to charge ME with assault as well as the woman who assaulted me. Four days after my attacker got off probation she and her husband attempted to run down another set of neighbors. As far as a township prosecutor, I think she is incompetent and am considering filing a complaint with the attorney grievance commission. Even the Chesterfield Police Department told me she dropped the ball when handling my case. That speaks volumes. She did nothing to help me and only put me in more of harms ways with my attacker. She was rude on the phone and did nothing to inform me of what was happening. She and Judge Hackel in Chesterfield must have some sort of deal going as to who gets prosecuted and who doesn't. She's lazy and doesn't take the time to read the pertinent information in the file. Guess what, Colleen, not ever case is black and white. Take the time to do your job properly and maybe you wouldn't consistently see the same people showing up on court.

I hired this lawyer for a driver license restoration. After I hired this him, he announced me that he'll travel out of country for a month..... He didn't tell me about that trip before, probably he didn't want to lose the money! Than, when he returned, Bozimowski asked me to postpone the Appeal for another 6 months. I was amazed by his guts, and I fired him. I hired another lawyer and got back my driver license privileges. I wouldn't hire Bozimowski not even he'll do that for free. I asked him once to exchange messages and documents by email. He wouldn't send you any emails, because "that stuff can be used against one's" . That's a proof of his character right there! Look for a lawyer in another place! Also, look for him in Facebook and you'll find what kind of human being is this individual!

My mother in law Passed July 2013, let an estate night mere for my husband to untangle. I work for a city where I knew this Lawyer. Since he knew me and had mentioned he was back into practice after leaving the City Attorney position, I thought he would be a great help to my husband. NOT. Just got a letter from court saying we did not complete proper documentation time. We have called e mailed and even written Mr. Gilsenan since the day we hired him after lst meeting he took our documents and never called again. Don't know how to make him give us our stuff back so we can go to another attorney. If anyone can contact him please let me know how. Very upset especially since I recommended him to my family.
WE HAD GIVEN EVERYTHING TO THIS LAWYER IN ENOUGH TIME TO SATIFIY THE COURT BUT HE NEVER TOOK TO MACOMB COUNTY TO FILE.
