After I fired this crop, he ran from his office to me on the outside, and you would not believe what he said. I cannot say it here. Another time, he said
"IN HIS 30 YEARS, HE NEVER HEARS OF A HUSBAND HAVING PEOPLE FOLLOWING THEIR WIFE". After I told the dude, someone kept following me and making videos. He is useless and gets extremely angry when I take my case: lies and greed. He knows nothing about the laws in Genz's time. Unprofessional and lazy to look at paper for my case.....

Stephanie has been my lawyer now for a couple of years and assisted me through my divorce and further custodial battles after that. She is professional, friendly, kind, and very easy to speak to. She pays attention to detail and has provided me with support and guidance. Stephanie is extremely knowledgeable and has always had me feeling at ease throughout the court process. I highly recommend Stephanie!

I was originally pleased with Ms,Mathiesen's work from the time I hired her to handle my divorce in August 2021 through early 2022. At that point things abruptly changed. She failed to provide the other attorney with documents I submitted in August 2021 . This came out during a court appearance in February 2022. From that point on multiple instances of unanswered e-mails, promised phone calls that never came, last minute notice of court appearances, continuances, adjournments. At that point I downloaded the court calendar and now ask her to confirm that posted scheduled dates are still on. Money owed to me from my spouse that I was told would be coming never did. On all issues I have documentation. Changes in my monthly fee without any explanation. I've used lawyers for house closings, adverse possession case, litigation against a state agency. I never experienced the lack of communication and lack of professionalism as I have now.

I’m a single mom and possibly going through a custody battle I felt scared and alone. I met with a few lawyers before finally meeting with Stephanie. She made me feel at ease and comfortable. She was kind and understanding and knew what she was doing. I highly recommend her if you’re in the search for a custody lawyer.

I hired this lawyer a long time ago to go bankrupt. I called him every day for over a year and every time I called the receptionist told me that he was on the other line, and he would call me back when he was done. I would wait about an hour and call back they told me that he was already out of the office. This went on for over 8 months. One day I had an appointment with him and when I got to the office they said that he went to a closing instead. This man is a crook, I paid him and he never did his job. He is a horrible attorney, please don’t ever waste your money and hire him.
