Disabled veteran and first time reviewer of anyone.
Stay away from this law firm.
If you read the low reviews on Google, you'll get the most accurate outlook on the work ethic of this lawyer.
I had a restraining order filed on me based on false claims. I had a police incident report practically proving the claims made were false and on my initial meeting, he was quick to say that he would subpoena the police officer that responded to the incident and that he would get the case dismissed. For this he wanted $1,500. As it was part of a divorce with no kids and complicated finances, he charged a total of $3,500 for both. I spoke with a half dozen law firms before going with his since the task was simple enough that even I myself could have done it but since I couldn't afford mistakes, I instead made the mistake of hiring this lawyer.
The day before the hearing I had to call him since he had not contacted me regarding the case or his process or anything at all. The reason was that he hadn't done anything- He walked in to the court room less than 5 minutes before the hearing began and asked me questions about the restraining order which I provided to him weeks before. Apparently he took the time to read it right before the hearing itself because instead of fulfilling his promise, he just asked for a continuance or postponement if you're unfamiliar (and billed me for his appearance). The next hearing went exactly the same way, except it was the other party that requested the continuance (and he billed me for his appearance). After I contacted him demanding he file the evidence I provided to him and ask what his plan was for the next hearing, his response was that he was "hoping the other party doesn't show up". He got his wish (and billed me for his appearance) and the case was dismissed without prejudice after him having done nothing and with a smile that implied a victory, said that even though it can be filed again, he would just take care of it then.
The next problem was the response to a divorce filing. His paralegal called me multiple times the day it was due, the last of which occurred after 4:00PM while she ironed out the details. The response was filed shortly after that and less than an hour from the deadline, which tells me he wouldn't even have time to proofread it. Although his staff is very diligent , friendly and competent, the opposite is all that can be said for this lawyer. In the first hearing dealing with jurisdiction of my divorce, he lost. For context, the other party represents themselves and is a person in their early 20s with zero college and legal training and that's who he lost to. (and he billed me for all of this)
I arranged a meeting in person after this to try to understand why all of this occurred the way it did. The first thing he did in the meeting is remind himself of who I was and my case (he never took the time to learn either of my cases), and after my first query that questioned his level of competence, he immediately offered to withdraw from my case. Having already made the decision to fire him, I pressed forward in the conversation asking him why he failed to get my restraining order case dismissed, to try to get reassurance that he wouldn't lose to court against this person a second time. Instead of providing any explanation, he just reiterated that he would withdraw from my case. I haven't been invoiced for this month yet but I have a feeling I was billed for that as well. The conversation took place over 8 minutes and what I have written here was all he said.
The ordeal I've just related cost me over $3,000. And due to his failure to withdraw from my case within a deadline, the opposing party is filing a complaint with the BAR. I am filing one of my own for obvious reasons.
I don't see any responses to either positive or negative reviews on google, so use that as reference to his method of addressing really just about anything.

Jason was phenomenal! He listened to my issue and provided cost-effective solutions for my debt. I must admit- It is very difficult to come face-to-face with debt; It hurts the ego and has left me with sleepless nights of worry and impending doom. Jason asked the right questions to drill down to my legal rights. He provided me with COMFORT and a plan of action!

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars.
This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs.
I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played.
Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

To Jennifer Helland and Jessica Strong I would like to say thanks so much. I truly appreciate all the support and help. These process would have been extremely difficult without your expertise. You guys handle my matter with such grace and professionalism. I am glad we were victorious in this case. If anyone is looking for amazing attorney Jennifer Helland is the one to have on your side. It will be a win win situation. God bless

Review for Kelly McPherson & Stephanie Steiner❤️❤️❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a very challenging case, and after firing my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money.A friend referred me to Kelly.I called & she got me in.She stepped in and completely turned things around as messed up as they were & as hysterical & crying as I was she immediately calmed me down & reassured me she would do her best to make things right.She had to go back and fix everything that the previous lawyer had supposedly done, and she did it with skill and dedication. She is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend her and Stephanie to anyone who needs someone who genuinely works for them—not for themselves.
Kelly & Stephanie are hard-working, down-to-earth, and always straight to the point. No BS. From the very beginning, I could tell she had my best interests at heart. She’s not just about making empty promises—she delivers results. Her communication is excellent, and she always made me feel heard and valued. I never once felt like I was in the dark during the process, and she consistently reassured me with her level-headed, professional approach.Communication was great.Always returned emails in a timely matter & Stephanie was great about helping with paperwork & returning emails & anything that needed to be addressed.I was never left in the dark.These ladies were wonderful & I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
In the courtroom, she’s a force—well-prepared and incredibly professional. Plus, her office is comfortable and welcoming, which made it easier to sit down and discuss difficult topics.
If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who truly works for you, cares about your family, and won’t waste your time or money, I highly recommend Kelly McPherson and Stephanie Steiner.They’re exactly the kind of legal team you want in your corner.
BEST LEGAL TEAM OUT THERE!!!

5 Star Review!
I have worked with Mike twice now over the course of 7 years. He was kind in helping me feel at ease, took care of everything paperwork wise and calmed me when I was upset. This case lasted over a year the second time. He explained things in layman’s terms for our family and really cares about the families and individuals he works for. He made the virtual meetings very accommodating. Thank you Mike for winning the case! We truly value you and all of your diligent hard work for us. We can finally rest easy and look forward to our futures. You are amazing!

I'm extremely grateful to have had Mike recommended to me by a friend for my divorce. The process itself took much longer than needed (my fault), but he was patient and very helpful through the entire time. He clearly explained the process and gave recommendations on how to proceed and made an already tough time easier. I was able to get the outcome I was looking for but Mike was straightforward with the possibilities right from the start of the different ways it could go. I'll definitely recommend Mike to anyone needing a lawyer.

Pat Mika and his team are a law firm without parallel. Pat provided sage guidance and mentored me thoughout this successful case, which resulted in the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Pat for any legal challenge you are facing. Without Pat and his legal team, the outcome could have been life altering. Thanks Mika & Associates!

We are long-time clients of Mr. Williams. He drafted wills and powers of attorney for me and my husband years ago, and it was time for an update. His staff scheduled us in right away. Mr. Williams reviewed the deed to our house to make sure it was titled right so we wouldn't have problems in the future. He talked to us about our assets, which had grown over the years, and ensured that we properly named beneficiaries on investment accounts. He explained the difference between a will and trusts, and we decided to keep it to wills. Mr. Williams helped guide us about where our property will go and who will handle our things when we pass away. He drafted our documents and took the time to hand-deliver drafts to our house, so we had plenty of time to review them before we signed them. At the signing, Mr Williams took us through all of the documents and explained them thoroughly. His paralegal made copies and put the originals and copies in a new portfolio, so our documents are together in one place. We are very pleased with the work he did and how he explained everything. He was very knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this law firm.

Incompetent and rude. We requested Gordon to draw up a will and other documents. Upon our request, my wife asked to review documents for errors. Gordon stated he would email the documents to my wife, but he did not. Gordon made the simplest errors in even scheduling the meeting to sign the documents, which was a huge red flag. It gets worse. My wife sat down for approximately 30 seconds and found over a dozen errors in her documents and mine. Again, we were told we would get the documents prior to this meeting to review. This proved our point. While working with Gordon to fix the numerous errors he made, we kept finding more errors!!! For 350.00 we thought there was better quality. My wife stopped the meeting, and we refused to continue. While refusing, Godon became very rude and defensive of his own errors!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!! Complete waste of our time. Now, we have to find a competent attorney's office that can handle a simple last will and power of attorney paperwork. If I could give a negative rating, I would. These are facts, not opinions.

Nothing about the divorce process made sense to me. Its designed to perpetuate drama and unfortunately many attorneys use this to their advantage to make a lot of money. That being said Haily did a great job with my case. She is professional, honest and very hard working. I highly recommend her as a divorce attorney.

Hailey was hired for my 2015 divorce.
She did not keep me informed.
Could not manage her paralegal.
Had to be dismissed and I was forced to seek new counsel at a very inopportune time.

After I was rear-ended, and the pain in my back began to increase, I didn't know where to turn. I reached out to multiple attorney's offices, because medical bills were mounting. I talked to some of the attorneys in the commercials, but they wouldn't help me, even though back surgery was indicated. Then I saw a commercial for Dr. Ramos. From the first phone call, I was treated with empathy, sympathy, and genuine concern. I was immediately comforted, skill, competency, and knowledge (Thank you Alica and Rachel!) manifested in every word and action. I cannot recommend any higher, else I would. And especially my thanks to Alicia and Rachel.

I was in a hit and run. Ramos law firm looked into everything they could to help me out. Unfortunately they couldn’t help me out due to the fact the truck was stolen and had fake tags on it. Despite knowing all that they still got the police reports and anything else to try to help my outcome. Thanks to the firm and anyone else that looked into my case. Definitely recommend.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. West; whose service has proven to be exceptionally valuable, supportive, and distinguished.
I believe Mr. West stands out as a true exemplar of legal professionalism and dedicated service. He and his team's unwavering commitment to the betterment of clients, their issues, and the community has been both evident and impactful.
Through years of principled dedication, particularly in my extended family law issue, he became a beacon of rationality and disciplined thought which proved vital for my survival during the chaos of an extended custody battle.
What distinguishes Mr. West is his profound dedication to ensuring that I received not only expert legal guidance but also compassionate support during my contentious family law situation.
His principles and unwavering dedication have significantly contributed to resolving my conflict with integrity and sensitivity.
I firmly believe that when seeking counsel, particularly in family law cases where emotions often run high, Mr. West and his team should be at the forefront of consideration.

I wanted to take a moment to make sure I recognize my Attorney Pat Marrison. At first I didn´t think I had a case but thought I would take a chance and request a consult with her. Marrison Law had handled my divorce over 10 years ago. My ex husband was retired military and Marrison Law made sure I received what I was entitled to when we originally divorced.
My ex decided he did not want to continue to make payments. We were married for more than 10 years. For those of you out there that don´t know what you are entitled to as a spouse to a military service member. I would encourage you to use Marrison law. Attorney Marrison took my call at the end of her busy day and advised me on what I could do before hiring her services.
She is truly a woman of integrity and highly experienced in military divorces. It played out just as she said. She did not have to do that.
Thank you, Attorney Marrison thanks to your free consultation I was able to get my ex to start sending my payments again.
Make sure you know your rights property and Alimony are 2 different types of payments.
Attorney Marrison is incredibly patient, and kind. She will answer all of your concerns. She will help alleviate any doubt and fears of how to proceed. I highly recommend her firm and if I have any issues again I will surely hire her as my attorney. Thank You Attorney Marrison and God Bless you.

The Gasper Law Group, and specifically Randy Koonce, was incredibly helpful in assisting my family and me with our estate plans. Due to unforeseen medical circumstances, we needed a quick turnaround, and Randy and his team exceeded our expectations. We visited on Monday, and by Wednesday, we were reviewing and signing our estate plans, which included a Last Will and Testament, General Durable Power of Attorney, and Medical Power of Attorney. Randy was thorough and took the time to answer all our questions. I highly recommend this firm and their team for anyone in need of estate planning services.

Edit: to be clear, there was no issue with her not being able to represent us. The issue was her comment, so we did not continue with her. Being dismissive like that tells me she doesn't care about us. We felt she wasn't the right person.
I contacted her about disability for my wife, we had some issues when applying. She called back and did a great job explaining the laws and criteria, but one thing that didn't sit right was when explaining to her my wife's issues, she said something along the lines of "getting tired doesn't mean you're disabled" when I talked about her fatigue and pain issues. She's medically disabled, restricted from work, has medical restrictions for multi stories residents, and has full handicap tags for the cars. I'm not sure what else she expected, but her dismissal of us on the initial and only phone conversation was just too much. I would not recommend her

I had some potential landlord concerns after my brother passed away and I was left to handle his estate. I reached out to Fortenberry to prepare for any potential legal problems I could run into with the landlord. There was a bit of confusion during the beginning of the consultation; but once it was cleared up, Jot helped me out and he got an agreement put together for me. Luckily, I ended up not having any issues with the landlord and the sale of my brother's property processed smoothly. Having Fortenberry available and ready to assist me right away was a huge relief during this time. Just knowing that I had a legal representative I could reach out to in case I had questions or ran into trouble really helped me get through a difficult situation. Thank you!

I hired this attorney through Upright Law and sorry I did. When I went in to sign my papers in the beginning, I felt rushed and alone as she was doing something else and left me to sign papers in the office by myself. After bankruptcy was discharged, I was trying to contact her via phone and email for weeks to ask when I would be getting my discharge papers and to ask a question about my case with no reply. Her secretary apologized today and that is when I called Upright Law to complain to them about her and to ask when I can get my discharge papers. Upright law will be sending me my discharge papers via email so I can finally get on with my life!

I am so thankful to have found Greg Quimby and his team to represent me and in such short notice take on my case. In only 2 weeks before my final court they were on top of my case and made miracles happen. Everyone was so friendly, understanding, and compassionate. I am extremely appreciative of all of them and what they did for me especially because they won my case. I was extremely impressed with Greg and his team's knowledge as well as his presence in the court room was amazing and very respectable. Walking into the courtroom i felt at peace knowing he was on my side representing me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. 100% recommend!

I have been a repeat client of this office due to the fact that they are amazing! I have never experienced bad customer service from anyone. Between my husband and I, we have retained Erica for 3 separate cases/incidents. They work hard to make sure you're heard, and Erica and Susan don't let anyone push them around, and nothing slips by them. I REALLY hope to never have to spend money on attorneys again. However, if I do, I will most definitely contact the Law Office of Greg Quimby! I feel like they're family!

I wish I could give this place 0 stars! My husband and I separated a decade ago, we have 3 kids together, my husband hired this law office to represent him to go after split custody, however my husband and I worked things out a week after hiring them and we NEVER went to court, this law firm submitted 1 document for him to the court but we NEVER made it in front of a judge for them to ever represent him. This place then sued my husband for $5k because he signed a document saying he would hire them to represent him, they didn’t care that they never represented him and that we worked things out, all they cared about was the money and don’t truly care about the “best interest of the families they represent” I think that’s beyond messed up they would sue him for what?!?! Till this day my poor husband is still paying on this debt because it has incurred thousands in interest the longer it sits not being fully paid off. We have paid $3000 and still owe over $11,000 for absolutely nothing! By the time they finally get paid off we will have probably paid close to $20k! I would never recommend this law firm to anyone unless you want them to help you destroy your life and put a financial burden on your family.

A Life-Changing Attorney: Elizabeth Vanatta
I am writing this review as a testament to the exceptional legal representation and guidance I have received from Attorney Elizabeth Vanatta since 2020. Throughout our journey together, Elizabeth has been a constant source of support, expertise, and care, helping me navigate the darkest times of my life and emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever.
Elizabeth's unwavering dedication to her clients is truly inspiring. She has a unique ability to balance empathy with tough love, pushing me to be a better father and individual, even when the road ahead seemed uncertain. Her mantra, "She can't help those who are not trying to help themselves," has stuck with me and become a guiding principle in my life. It's a reminder that with hard work, determination, and the right guidance, anyone can overcome adversity and achieve their goals.
One of Elizabeth's greatest strengths is her tireless work ethic. She is always available, including weekends, to address my concerns and provide valuable advice. Her ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to complex problems has been invaluable to my case. Time and time again, she has demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a mastery of the litigation process, consistently presenting well-researched and well-prepared arguments in court.
What sets Elizabeth apart from other attorneys I have worked with is her genuine care and concern for her clients. She is not just a lawyer; she is a trusted advisor, a confidante, and a role model. Her passion for justice and her commitment to fighting for what is right are evident in everything she does. I have witnessed her in litigation numerous times, and her preparation, expertise, and poise under pressure are truly impressive.
If you are considering hiring an attorney, I would highly recommend Elizabeth Vanatta. However, I must caution that she is not for everyone. If you are not willing to take her advice, listen to her guidance, and put in the effort required to achieve a successful outcome, then you may not be the best fit for her services. But if you are willing to work hard, trust her expertise, and follow her lead, I have no doubt that you will achieve exceptional results.
In my opinion, Elizabeth Vanatta is the top attorney in Colorado Springs. Her professionalism, caring nature, and unparalleled preparation make her a formidable opponent in the courtroom. I have seen her present binders full of evidence, meticulously organized and thoroughly researched, to support her arguments. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence are traits that set her apart from other attorneys

Stay as far away from these people as you can. Hiring Elizabeth was the worst decision that I had made for me and my kids, complete waste of time and money, and I believe that they damaged my case beyond what I could have ever imagined. Do yourself and your kids a favor and go anywhere else.

Sam was a very rambunctious easy going lawyer that has done his best from what i can tell to help me in any way bring out the truth about my case! Without actually knowing and or experiencing what I've through he could never completely understand my circumstances of this bogis case but he was at least willing to try and empathize with my horrible experiences. The case is although still pending but will finally hopefully have an outcome coming up the end of April and i hope and pray that we will finally bring some of the truth out! And i will hopefully be released of this charge for my own well being as will as that of my beautiful baby boys in my case! I will write a new review once the case has come to its conclusion. Pray for me if you read this and believe i deserve this blessing from god and sam!!! Thanks for reading and hire Sam he's one of Springs best criminal defense attorney!!! Thank you Sam no matter the

Overall, Catherine Mitchell is a great attorney. She worked hard on my case, and got me the best possible outcome.
She is highly knowledgeable when it comes to the law and will argue your case to the end.
I paid a little high for her services. However, the severity of my case was certainly a factor.
Hope this helped.
