As the in-house attorney for my company, Mr. Kopf was always there for whatever we needed, whenever we needed it. As an all female firm, we very much appreciated his lack of condescension in all matters, legal and generally business related.
That has been quite a few years ago, but I'm certain he is the same moral, ethical, kind and responsive attorney he was then. You would be fortunate to take advantage of this man's knowledge and scruples.

Judge Kopf has been and remais my most trusted advisor for my business, my family and myself. He consistently epitomizes fiduciary responsibilty. Even when it may hurt him. He has an innate ability to sense urgency and he knows the actions t necessary for his clients and himself to take to rectify situations that seem hopeless. Compassion for the client is his first priority. He's a REAL FIDUCIARY.

Judge Kopf assisted me with a litigation case. It was handled efficently and a settlement was reached in my favor in a short amount of time. The money was quickly transferred and the case was concluded a lot quicker than I anticipated. I was very pleased with how Spencer Kopf handled my case and impressed with his knowledge and contacts withing the judicial system.

Mike is very knowledgeable and responsive, two things that I believe are a requirement in an attorney. Mike will lay out all the possible scenarios and outcomes to allow you to make an informed business decision, and he accepts your business decision to move forward on the matter.

I am young designer who recently entered the IP world. Sheri has been instrumental in guiding me through the process of protecting my ideas and designs. Her rates are straight forward with no question marks or small print. This provided me with piece of mind and allowed us to move quickly as a team from initial conversation to completion of a set of provisional patents. Thank you and I am looking forward to continuing the partnership in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sheri for a number of years now. I am a 20 year corporate counsel who hands out millions in work each year, and I am exceedingly picky and demanding in what I want. Timeliness. Communication. KNOW THE LAW. She is one who sets the standard on all of these. A tireless worker, gracious and unflappable, who would take whatever technology I gave her, learn it quickly and generate a great application, at a fair price. Exactly what every lawyer should strive to be.

Melvin was extremely helpful and successfully resolved the case in my favor. He simplified complex information so that a layperson could understand what was going on and what to expect. He was also very helpful in preparation for the eventual deposition. Overall, he did a very good job at helping me understand what to do and how to navigate the processes of the legal world.

Mr. Horany has represented me in my first car accident case in a very professional way. He explained exactly step by step what would happen in my case. The deposition that was held made me nervous however my attorney put me at ease and we were successful in our attempt to show that the other driver was liable. I would highly recommend Mr. Horany to any friends or family. His competence and knowledge was exceptional. Thank you Mr. Horany!

Working with Mr. Ramey was very simple and straightforward. He knew exactly what information we needed, got it to us very quickly, took the time to explain it clearly, and made sure we understood all the details. We had to take an important decision based on that information and he made it much easier. He even followed up with us two months later when new information became available! Very professional and highly recommended!

Victor Vital helped secure me and my partner a $20,000,000+ verdict in federal trial. Victor was amazing to work with. He's very communicative and goes the extra ensure you have the best representation possible. I highly recommend Victor Vital and his firm, Barnes and Thornburg.

Victor is a very skilled attorney who really listens to his client and gets great results. His aggressive, confident style is backed up by strong knowledge of the law and great personal skills. He's tough when he needs to be but can also stay calm in heated exchanges and keep a level head. In my case, we won a dismissal without ever having to go to trial, while other co-defendants with more timid attorneys were not as fortunate. Victor is willing to think outside the box and his ingenuity pays off. Highly recommend.

Paulette Mueller recently helped us with revising trust, power of attorney, will, etc. documents. We were not previous clients, and an issue came up that we needed help with on short notice. She returned my call after hours on a Friday night, and worked on our issues over the weekend. She made a house call to my elderly housebound mother's residence, and had all matters resolved by Monday. Her knowledge, expertise, and service were truly superb, and her fees were very reasonable. I would highly recommend Ms. Mueller.

I divorced several years ago without representation. I came to a point in my life where I needed legal assistance regarding my ex-husband, child support and custody. I have always been the type to lean back and not push for what I or my children deserved, instead I just thought somehow everything would work out. After a friend talked to me about Paulette and how she had helped her through her legal situation I gave her a call. Right away I knew I had someone that understood my circumstances and more importantly made me believe in myself. Paulette gave me the emotional strength I needed to push forward with what was in the best interest of my children and myself. Sometimes in life there comes a time when we need another to look you in the eyes and tell you that together the situation can be overcome. We started working together on my case and she was with me every step of the way. Encouraging me, giving me the best legal advise and at court standing by my side. My case was a complete win and am looking forward to my brighter future for me and my kids. I cannot thank my friend enough for recommending Paulette to me. I only hope I can pay it forward and tell others about how wonderful an attorney she is. I cannot praise her enough for every effort she has set forth for my children and I. Thank you Paulette for everything!

Ms. Mueller is an excellent attorney and I would highly recommend her to anyone one that may need her services. She was the best attorney that I've ever been associated with and went above and beyond what was expected when it came to resolving the difficult case that I was involved in. When comparing her services to other attorneys that I've used in the past Ms. Mueller is by far the one I would chose to represent me again if ever needed.

Todd and his associates at PayneMitchell Lawgroup were very helpful and diligent in getting my case settled. I initially tried dealing with the insurance companies myself and soon discovered this was not the best course of action. I kept getting the runaround at every turn. After consulting with them, they handled everything at no out of pocket expense to me. This was a huge burden off my shoulders. I had been through a horrific accident already and having to handle everything myself was overwhelming and quite stressful. After a short time, the case was settled, I never had to appear in court, and the settlement was by far more than I expected. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of an honest, hard working attorney.

I just wanted to write this review because he deserves it. I have worked with several different lawyers in the past but Mr. Shook is No. One in my book. Not only he produceses results but he has been in the game long enough to answer any of your concers. He helped my brother with his case and i am sure he can do the same for you. It was a difficult case but his hard work and dedication paid off i thank you sir from bottom of my heart.

I am not familiar with the legal system and, when I found out I had a warrant out on me, I panicked. Luckily I called Toby Shook. He was on top of everything from the moment he took my case. He told me what the charge meant, what I needed to do, what he would do and what would happen every step of the way. I called him in a panic but was soon able to relax. As the process went forward, he kept me informed. And - most importantly - he cleared up my issue quickly. My position was that whole thing was a mistake. Toby Shook made sure that the legal system saw it that way too. Everything was dismissed - like it never happened.

I have had the pleasure of working with Marshay as my lawyer for several years, and I can confidently say she has consistently exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, Marshay took the time to understand every detail of my cases, ensuring that no aspect was overlooked. Her professionalism and deep knowledge of the law have made the entire process smoother and more manageable.
What truly sets Marshay apart is her dedication to seeing each case through to the end, no matter how complex or challenging the circumstances. She is thorough, reliable, and always available to answer any questions or address concerns, which has given me immense peace of mind. Her ability to explain legal matters in a clear and concise way has been invaluable.
I highly recommend Marshay to anyone in need of legal representation. She is not only a skilled attorney but also a compassionate advocate who truly cares about her clients’ well-being. I am grateful for her exceptional work and continued support.

Going through any type of legal action regardless of what side your on can be very stressful and taxing on even the most stable person. Mr. Lynch represented me in my D-I-V-O-R-C-E in 2007. My divorce was one of many colors with a lot of different mentalities to back those colors up. To say the least we had a battle on our hands that even General Lee would not have wanted to fight. I found the right man for the job in Mr. Jeff Lynch. I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent me. Mr. Lynch's professionalism,experience,reputation, and most importantly, intergrity led to a great victory in my favor. My case was settled in mediation. The mediator at one point tried his best to take Mr. Lynch to the woodshed by insulting him in a not so flattering way in front of me, Mr. Lynch's client. Mr. Lynch very calmly and politely ask me to leave the room so that he and the mediator could discuss the matter in private. I did and when we reconvened the mediator tried very hard the rest of the day to become Mr. Lynch's best friend. Mr. Lynch's calm cool collective demeanor in my opinion is what makes Mr. Lynch a great litigator. In other words, you don't see him coming until it's to late. He is very good at what he does. He always kept me informed and up to date on all changes that were taking place during my divorce. He also kept me calm and help me deal with the anxiety, stess, etc... you go through when your in this type of situation and I thank him for keeping me sane. I would reccomend Mr. Jeff Lynch to my enemies as long as I'm not the one their suing. So if your in need of a Lawyer who will truly represent you and your case, Mr. Lynch is that lawyer.

I want to thank Ms. Rames for the great job she did on my case. From the first day I spoke to her about a Property Management issue Ms. Rames took time to explain what each step was going to be in the case and continued to keep me updated every step of the way. She was quick to respond to and successfully overcome each and every argument made by the other party. I always felt comfortable knowing she and her firm were working on my behalf and I am very thankful for her hard work and the favorable outcome she obtained for me. I would definitely use her and her firm again if ever needed and would highly recommend Rames Law Firm to anyone looking for great representation.

Ellen helped me work through a series of estate planning documents. In addition to getting the work completed on a timely manner, the best part I believe has been the education I have received in the process.

Highly recommended!

Ellen is one of the most efficient lawyers that I have worked with, and I have worked with a few. She was extremely responsive (less than a day, hours to get back to us) and had our details and information readily available. Never a misstep with anything that we had shared. She sought feedback, was accessible and made it easy for us to address some fairly complex situations. I would recommend her services highly.

Ellen always responded promptly to my calls and emails.

Ellen is an attorney you can trust and have confidence in.

I am very pleased with the performance and the good job that David Matthew Haynie has done for me. He is not only a very professional lawyer but he is also a great human being, he is full of compassion and cares a lot for his clients. In my case he is always so patient with me that English is not my first language, he listens to me and tries to understand me. He put all his effort to explain to me everything I need to know about my case. In my opinion, Matthew goes beyond his work to help his clients, he always make himself available and he returns back my emails and phone calls, even after hours. I sincerely appreciate David Matthew Haynie's work, knowledge and professionalism. I would recommend him to any body with my eyes close.

Highered a lawyer from this firm to help me through the patent process and make sure I am doing everything the legal and right way. Paid the retainer that was requested, and then nothing. Can't get a call through or an email back for way too many months. This company doesn't seem to care about the common man. Or at least the Lawyer I got didn't. Don't risk your money here is my advice.

Only could afford a 45 minute consultation. One of the few attorneys cometent in a Bill of Reveiw appeal. Asked all the tough questions and expected consistent answers. Defined exactly what could be done and what couldn't. Didn't get trapped in nuance or that no injustice should be any reason of an appeal. Accepted my premises but said the court may not. In the end he spent over an hour with me. Offered to work with me on the financial aspect but my appeal is from Family Court and felt his talents would be wasted. In the end he provided invaluable inforamation to work with the firm I did retain.

To Whom It May Concern:
I’ve worked closely with Bryon Prescott for the last ten years and have known him for approximately fifteen years. We initially worked together for a Fortune 100 Company for which he was in-house counsel. During the last 10 years we had almost daily contact where he worked as outside counsel for my company performing the majority of the real estate legal work including virtually every type of real estate transaction imaginable including acquisitions, foreclosures, dispositions, lease transactions, tenant disputes, title claims, auctions, contracts, debt financing, insurance claims, etc. etc. etc. His advice, counsel, expertise, ethics, and professionalism have been above reproach. Byron’s attention to detail and his thorough understanding of the law and the complexity of our transactions provided my company infinite advantages, which resulted in significant economic benefits.
Byron’s negotiating skills are unparalleled and his uncompromising commitment to the success and wellbeing of my company and employees is unmatched. He has the uncanny ability to anticipate the unexpected, which has saved my company countless capital funds as well as mitigated tremendous exposure over the years. He is extremely organized and efficient which allows him to oversee countless transactions at one time. His attention to detail is unmatched. Over the decade, he has represented my company in literally hundreds of sales transactions and several hundreds of lease transactions along with hundreds of other transactions. His breadth of knowledge and expertise were evident in every transaction.
Byron is an excellent attorney and is an even better person. He has the ability to get the best out of all parties in a transaction including not only his client, but also the opposing counsel, which has the effect of defusing confrontational situations and facilitating transactions. Byron is skilled at making deals happen, instead of killing deals, which is instrumental in my business. He knows how to efficiently complete transactions, regardless of how unlikely they may appear or the obstacles encountered as the process unwinds. His integrity and ethics are evident in everything that he does including his work product, negotiations skills, respect for all parties and even in his billings.
Byron is an outstanding attorney as well as an extremely canny, morally upright and ethical man. I know without a doubt that he will not only have the best interest of my company in mind but will also watch out for my best interest. You could not hire a better attorney for your company. Should you have any further questions about Byron, I will be happy to discuss more of his attributes at length.
Sincerely,
Doug

Byron has handled just about all of my real estate transactions work for over five years now, including commercial leases, lease amendments, sales contracts, third-party service agreements, and easement issues. Byron is a seasoned real estate attorney with a client-first attitude and provides prompt service to keep transactions moving along. However, the primary reason I work with him is because of his strong character, integrity, and positive attitude. Byron has become a true friend over the years, he is a pleasure to work with, and he always does his absolute best to represent me and my firm.
