My attorney Mr. Derrick Johnson is the best lawyer in the state. I don’t know where I would be without his help on my personal injury case last year. He certainly was a great help to me and updated me regularly with new information. I will be using his services again. Thanks

Bob was referred to me by a highly respected government legal official to assist me in probating my father’s will. Not only Bob’s expertise in these matters, he also had to fill the probate in the adjacent county of his practice in Clayton County. From our initial office meeting, he was able to identify some potential hiccups allowing us to be proactive from the beginning. I really liked the method of communication through his secure web portal to ask questions or respond to his own. I recommend using Bob if you are needing to begin the process of probating a will.

Like so many we put off having new wills, financial POAs and updated health directives drawn up. After an internet search for the best law firm, Ruppenthal Law Firm was chosen for their experience in estate law and outstanding reviews.
All handled within one week-- from my initial call, speaking with paralegal Daria, completing the preliminary questionnaire, scheduling our appointment and reviewed/signed all documents.
One charge covered everything at a very affordable price. It is a great relief to have completed these documents so we don't have to worry about a legal nightmare in handling our affairs should the need arise.
Bob Ruppenthal was very thorough explaining each of the documents, making sure we understood everything and they stated what we wanted. I highly recommend Ruppenthal Law Firm and you will be amazed at how easy and quickly you can take care of your estate planning needs by contacting them.

I used RS Johnson Legal P. C. for a closing on my personal property (seller's choice) that I was purchasing with my mom. After the closing the company sent out a check because we overpaid at closing. Once we deposited the overage in our bank account, RS Johnson called and stated that we deposited the check "with the wrong date". However, that was the only check they sent. RS Johnson Legal then proceeded to contact the bank and refuse to fund the money. So to sum things up, they sent a check for the overage paid, then refused to honor the check . I do not recommend this company or the experience they provide for myself, my family, or any of my clients. Please run while you can, and do not be defrauded by this company. I would give 0 stars if I could.

My closing was a little unusual and unique involving me as an executor of two estates and being the purchaser of one home. However, the RS Johnson Legal team made the process seamless and quick. My closing was completed in 45 minutes! My wife and I are very pleased with their awesome work!

I was fortunate to have Hill Duvernay represent me. Duvernay technically top-notch, but even more importantly she genuinely cares about her clients and their families. She is tough when needed, but does so with grace. I trust her completely, have the utmost confidence in her abilities and would recommend her for any and all cases.

The lawyer is very pleasant and respectful. I. My experience may not be your experience when I call this Law Firm I let Diego that my insurance would not be taken responsibility for this accident. I asked him if they could still represent me. He said yes, they would get a copy of the police report. And try to get the charges dismissed. My first meeting with the lawyer representing this Law Firm was with a young lady. She came late to the courthouse, she wanted me to fill out a pretrial intervention form. I informed her that I couldn't fill out that form because my insurance was not taking responsibility for this accident. She asked me how do you know the insurance company has to take a responsibility? I said because it's written on the the paper. She said well let's fill it out anyway, she filled it out. I asked the young lady to have Miss Duvernay call me. When Miss Duvernay called me, I said, I had informed you that I my insurance was not taking responsibility for this accident. So I don't know I can't do the pretrial intervention. She said, you didn't inform me because I don't answer the calls. I said well I am from Santiago, she said you mean Diego I said yes maybe we can get it dismissed on the fact that he didn't give you a police report. We're on the same page now I understand. Now before my next court date I called Diego to ask him to describe the person that was coming to meet me if it wasn't going to be Miss Duvernay. He said , well we only work with two other ladies so it would be one of them preview when I got to the courthouse a gentleman call me on the phone asking me where I was located. He said I'm here to pick up the pretrial intervention form. I said okay I'm getting frustrated now I've already told Miss Duvernay is that my insurance is not taking responsibility for this accident. So he went and got a copy of the form, he said I read it I was hoping it didn't indicate that's the insurance had to take responsibility for the accident but it does. Miss Duvernay call me later that evening, she said, I thought you wanted to go ahead with it. I said that I can't do pretrial my insurance is not taking responsibility for the accident. A court date was set and missed, because I wasn't informed of the court date I just happened to check my mail, while checking my mailbox I realize that he got a failure to appear. The first thing I did was to send a message to Miss Duvernay. When she sent me a message back it started off with: "first of all..."The Law Firm did send a lawyer to go fix it. Her name Kristen Clark. I was told to wait for my next court date, the law firm would inform me. I did not believe them so I called for my next court date. They did not show, there were two other court date set they did not show for either one of those court dates. The judge even called the law firm they still miss the court date. It took a Google review Duvernay and the chargeback. She told me she had conflicts in the court should have known about it. There was only one problem she wasn't assigned to my case unless she was Kristen Clark. She did show up the next court date, but during the third Miss court date I was asked, if I wanted a public defender, I said yes. But when Ms Duvernay asked me to give her a chance I said okay since it wasn't her that was supposed to show up. Now I was told signed up with this Law Firm they would get a copy of this police report. But the public defender delivered it to me and I had to take it to the law firm. On the trial date we were supposed to meet at 9:15 because the trial was at 10:00. Miss Duvernay as with every court appearance we made she came at 9:40, I could excuse that but at 9:40 was when she told me all the evidence I had ,was usable. They had the information for a year. My Insurance indicated that they were looking at the cars damages. She did not ask for the pictures. So we went in the court with nothing. I had a diagram of the damage. Miss Duvernay asked, what's that? It was then I realized that nothing I uploaded was looked at.

It my pleasure to highly recommend Attorney Genghis Shakhan. After submitting an online inquiry, he promptly responded within one hour.

Mr. Shakhan was a great attorney! He kept me informed either by email and called when necessary but he never forgot about me and continued working on my case until the end result. And the end result was the best I could have hoped for. I strongly recommend Mr. Shakhan for help with a case or for filing paperwork and speaking with court clerks and district attorneys about programs available to those who qualify. Great Job and thank you!

I cannot even begin to express the amount of gratitude I have for Melissa. My court proceedings have gone on for a year now. It didn't matter if it was 10:00 at night. Melissa always answers her phone. She has been the calm to my storm. After more than four court dates (not by her fault) I was able to receive everything I asked for in my order.
not only was she there for legal support but she supported me emotionally through the whole thing.
I've actually continued to recommend her to family and friends and she has been there fully for them as well.
I could not be more grateful to someone like her in my life!
It actually almost brings me to tears to think about how much she has done for me. Melissa you are amazing! I'm not sure how you felt about our victory in court but to me you are the prosecutor in New York XXX

Ms. Sanford delivered an immaculate performance in court for my friend. She (friend) was in an ugly custody battle with an ex and she held her hand every step of the way. She came prepared for every hearing, was extremely organized both clerically and mentally as she made her points in court. She fought like a lion for her and her children. She is very passionate and quick on her feet. I know that if I ever need something legally I'm coming straight to her. She mic drops like a boss!

Heather is the most outstanding Lawyer anyone could ask for. She is a terrific listener and has an absolutely great knowledge of the law. In my case, I hired her to represent me with the negotiation process for my buy-out. Her communication skills with both myself and the Disability company was wonderful and we were successful with my objective. I would STRONGLY recommend her!!!

Attorney Heather Karrh represented me in a disability insurance case. I was so impressed that she and her staff took into account the degree of stress that I was under, my illness and my lack of knowledge regarding disability insurance and still made me feel comfortable and reassured that I was in good hands. Throughout the process, I was impressed. No matter the outcome, I would have given her a 5-star review. Fortunately, we received the outcome we had hoped for. Heather saw it through and I couldn't have been more grateful. We are almost a year down the road from the decision and she still ensures I understand and am comfortable with the process. I highly recommend her for her competence, her knowledge and her empathetic way of reaching her clients. 5 STARS!

Heather was/is a blessing to me (and my family). She was great about communicating with me at every step, without making the situation seem overwhelming.
She is easy to talk to, listens, and seems genuinely concerned about helping her clients. I couldn’t imagine having gone through this ordeal with out her.
I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again to seek advice, guidance, and directives. She helped make a bad situation better.

My experience with Jorge Carabajal was an outstanding one! He always kept in contact with me to keep me informed with my situation at hand. He is very knowledgeable about the law and never steered me in the wrong direction with the decisions that I had to make. Never once was I told that I had any surprise or hidden fees like I've received from past councils. I definitely recommend Mr. Carabajal to any of my friends or family... or anybody for that matter.

Rhonda Bender Kreuziger did an excellent job at handling a most difficult legal case that took many unexpected turns. She excels in researching the law as it applies to the individual case and in explaining the legal process to clients with no legal background. She also did an excellent job in representing our company in several courtroom settings and in helping us navigate through the legal system to get the desired results. Rhonda Bender Kreuziger is diligent and focused and even worked all night on one occasion to prepare for an emergency court hearing. I would highly recommend her services.

I have had the pleasure of working with Attorney Rhonda Kreuziger in her handling of several of my family legal issues. Let me state clearly, that Rhonda places your mind at ease when dealing with legal issues. She's very calm and methodical when reviewing your case, and she makes sure that your legal matter is her primary concern during her consultation with you. As a side note, let me reveal that Rhonda has resolved satisfactorily every single family legal issue that we presented to her. As a member of the Military, integrity and competence are two important traits that I seek in hiring an attorney. I can state without hesitation that Rhonda exhibits both of these traits. Finally, don’t just take my words, call her for consultation, and you will witness the experience for yourself.

Mr. Imhoff is the best attorney that the public defender office has. I sat in Fayette County Jail for 11 months waiting to go to court. I was assigned an attorney that was with the county for many years and I wrote to him many times and did not get a reply in January I caught new charges I within the jail. I was assigned a new attorney to defend my case and that was Mr. Imhoff.
I had my previous attorney for 6 months and he did absolutely nothing except allow my file to sit on the D.As desk.
Mr. Imhoff was my attorney for only 1 month if that and he had a court date for me in April to ask for a motion to lower my bond. That was the first motion ever filed to help me. On May 30, 2017 I went back to court for the Judge to sign my plea offer and close my case.
My original charges that put me in jail were serious charges and the new charges I received during my incarceration was just as serious. I was looking at some time, but Mr. Imhoff negotiated a plea offer that was almost too good to be true. If I ever need a defense attorney again my choice will be Mr. Imhoff. The man knows his job and fights for what is best for his client.
Everyone knows a public defender is call a public pretender and people say they work with the prosecutor not for the client. I strongly believe that is true with most especially the public defender that I was assigned for my original charges, but that IS NOT the case with Mr. Imhoff. He is there to defend the accused and get them a plea offer that is best for their charges.
Mr. Imhoff is on fire for justice. I had lost my faith in the judicial system due to the length of time I sat in jail waiting for a court date and not receiving any information from the previous public pretender. Mr. Imhoff changed all that and believe there are some who fight for those who can't.
If you need criminal defense Mr. Imhoff is the perfect choice.

Charged more than the normal fee yet there wasn’t anything complicated. Lacked follow up and communication. I was always reaching out for updates. Case took almost two years and never heard anything back regarding the case just a letter. Met multiple times and really nice but I think he takes on morecases than he can handle. He came highly recommended.

I was wrongfully accused of 12 counts of 1st degree felonies and 1 misdemeanor. David and his WONDERFUL team were hired I believe a week after being incarcerated I retained him to represent me. He fought time and time again to get me out of jail against the crooked county I was in but they always seemed to find a way to set David back but he NEVER gave up. After about 10 months we finally were about to go through trial but go figure, the DA was not ready still and then David demanded that I be let out on at least bond and the judge granted me a signature bond with an ankle monitor on all charges. That’s just the first small battle won. In the midst of all this I had a juvenile case come about regarding custody of my children and his team took that case load on as well but we will come back to that in a moment. From the time of retaining him to the day I was released on bond to the weeks to days before trial they stayed in contact with me and went over plans and everything with me almost every single week on how we need to go through this trial what to expect what not to expect the whole 10 yards. Just a reminder, they’re planning for this trial and also having to plan and go through the juvenile case as well so I can only imagine how exhausted they are at this point. So trial comes which took two weeks maybe even two weeks and a couple days but we were there from 8:30 in the morning until those lights shut off most days and they STILL met with me every single day to go over new angles to go at this whole thing. We get through all that and now we get to the verdict and all they’re hard work paid off. Not guilty! Second battle won! Then we get to just the juvenile case and that took some time with getting all the scheduling to match up with EVERYBODY involved but here we are almost 3 years from the start of this thing and we got my babies home!!!!! We’re not quite through the mud yet but I’ve got 1000% confidence in them to bring this thing to a happy ending. I know this has been a lot but just these few words is not even close to enough to show or express how amazing David and his entire staff are. I would hire David again and again for anything else in life as long as he is still a lawyer.

From the first phone call, I felt my case was in the right place. My questions were answered, and I was kept informed as things progressed. It took some time as the court system has been full but I was always in the loop on how things were doing and with what I should expect next. The entire staff was personable, knowledgeable and courteous throughout the whole time. Hopefully not needing services again, but I know if I ever do - Mr. Ballard is definitely who I will call.

The law firm is very professional, responsive and trustworthy. I have had multiple occasions where I was unsure of the course of actions my clients needed to take regarding both real estate and non real estate questions. I unhesitatingly sent them the the Law Office of Stephen B Ott. Not only have they exceeded my expectations but my clients report they received same kind of services that I had described. Responsive, prompt responses, attention to detail, fully satisfied with results, not just good service but GREAT service from beginning to end are the most frequent comments I have received from my referrals. Since I personally receive all of these benefits and more, I don't hesitate to refer my clients, friends, family and conduct my closing with the Law Firm of Stephen D Ott. You wont believe the incredible service his support staff provides as well. Kudos to this law firm.

Mr. Hofrichter was my attorney handling my SSD case over two plus years ago. He was outstanding . He or whom ever was my contact person they kept me well in formed. When it came down to the actual case going before a judge etc. He had everything in tact. He had done all necessary research with my case. over all he does an outstanding job in handling your case. He leaves no tables unturned, And I would recommend him to anyone who needs or have the same type of case that I had. I promise that they will not be disappointed.He is all the needs all wrapped up in one that a client should or would be expecting. He is number one in my book. And of course we won the case.

Hired him for my son ten years ago, watching him on YSL case brought back just how horrible of an attorney he was. He would not show up or was late. When wanted a jury trial he said take a plea or pay in full. He is about money and should be called king of plea bargains.

Attorney Derek Wright!! This man is a crook and a liar! He abandoned my son's case & he's only been hired for 3 months and refuses to answer any calls or texts to explain why he thinks he's going to take our money & abandon my son's case! He never showed up for court on time or visited my son, he made promise after promise & assured us he would fight for my son. He used a juvenile excuse saying me the mom called & texted too much about the case.. how else was the family supposed to get updates on the case because he never called or did the job he was paid for!! I wish I had seen the negative reviews on "FindLaw" of other clients complaining about how incompetent he is before we hired this clown or even the complaint with the board that shows his history of being a liar!! Do not hire this wannabe Johnny Cochran because he doesn't have the experience to do the job....if you do hire him you'll regret it, save yourself the trouble! He's a hypocrite

I see so many comments about Incompetent, Thief, Unreliable ect… Now!! I have known Derek for over 20 years and have been a very reliable and responsible. I have called him myself, and it will be a minute before he returns my call, but he do return them. He is a very busy man because he comes highly recommend. Y’all please let’s be fare and not bash him until he prove himself incapable of being a great Attorney for your team. I promise if y’all be fare, give him time. You will win your case. This is what I experienced with him. I have use his services twice and never been disappointed. Let’s be fare guys!!!

Founders Legal has changed the game of small business startup assistance, and has been the greatest asset for my company, and my sanity, during my business entity's beginnings. It is nearly impossible, without double business doctorates, to properly start a company today by yourself and be able to accurately check all the boxes required by the government. From business formation to trademarking, website policies to NDAs, the folks at Founders Legal have the experts to handle your worries. I could not, and would not, attempt to become an entrepreneur again without Founders Legal on my side. Protect yourself and your company! Major Kudos to Zach and Kennington.

As a long time client of Founders Legal, I feel at home knowing that this office actually cares about me and my business. The best word to describe this team is, 'trust'. I consider Founders Legal an anomaly in the legal space, where trust is hard to find. The generosity and personal one-on-one care that this team has delivered to me has made my IP challenges, a lot less challenging. Zach has pushed through many difficult projects for my business, too many to list and too much history to get into in one google review. Yuri is always available and generous with his time and his team. There are many more names on the list, but to keep things short, I foresee a lot more IP acquisition for my business using the Founders Legal team.
