AFTER HAVING SEVERAL LEGAL PIECES OF WORK DONE BY Mr. REISNER I CAN
EARNESTLY SAY HE IS A VERY METICULOUS PERSON. HE HAS HANDLED MY WILL, TRANSFER OF
PROPERTIES, CREATING MY LIVING TRUST, AMONG SEVERAL OTHER MINER ITEMS IN OUR
RELATIONSHIP.
I WOULD SINCERELY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE WITH A NEED FOR ANY LEGAL
WORK OF ANY KIND INCLUDING ANY COURT ACTIVITY. I KNOW HE HAS EXTENSIVE
EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD AS WELL.

H. J. worked on my case while he was with Stanley Law. While I was not impressed in the least with the law firm itself, H. J. was great. I dismissed Stanley Law from my case and have been searching for H. J.'s new practice to turn the case over to him. I have not been able to find an address or phone number for his new practice anywhere on the Internet. Stanley Law, needless to say, was not at all helpful. If you're out there, H. J., please post your contact information on this sight. Thank you! I hope to be working with you again soon!!

Mr. Hubert is an understanding lawyer that will listen to your concerns and give you straight advice. He doesn't beat around the bush but he won't "beat you up" like other lawyers I've had. I recommend him fully.

We were referred to Karen after abruptly finding out our former lawyer would no longer be practicing privately. Karen is a hard worker, has extensive knowledge of the adoption process and the rights we have as foster parents. I am so grateful that we have Karen on our side!

Karen has handled two of our adoptions and is working on our third. She’s an amazing attorney and extremely well versed with foster care, foster to adopt, and adoption. She’s so flexible. She does this for families and children, it’s not a job to her. You won’t find a more personable or flexible attorney in her field. I recommend Karen to everyone I know and I urge you to call her! You won’t be disappointed!

I recently used the service of this firm to negotiate a separation agreement from a former employer. My interactions with Frank Gattuso and Steve Ciotoli were equal parts supportive, insightful, and professional, and led to a rapid and mutually satisfying conclusion. I was absolutely impressed at every step along the way. I couldn't recommend this firm more highly.

Steve Ciotoli at Gattuso & Ciotoli was an absolute pleasure to work with on my hostile employment and retaliation case. His expertise and dedication were evident from the start. He was always available to answer my questions and ease my fears. He made me feel informed and supported every step of the way. His associate, Lindsay, was also a rock star and provided invaluable support. In the end, the settlement was beyond my expectations and I am incredibly grateful for Steve's counsel throughout. I felt truly cared for and supported by the entire team at Gattuso & Ciotoli, and they made a challenging situation much less stressful. I couldn't have asked for better representation.

I had high hopes for this practice, I was assigned Ryan Files as my attorney in a work place retaliation-wrongful termination. Ryan was attentive in the being but never pushed for my case. He would not respond to emails, I went over 3 months without being able to get a hold of him as he blatantly ignored all of my emails. I was finally able to get a hold of him after months, thanks to the lovely paralegal Lindsay. She hunted Ryan down, just for him to email me minutes later and said that he was in so many words not perusing my case anymore. I’m more than disappointed in this law firm as I’ve heard many great things! Frank-the founder has great reviews on google but I wish I had the same outcome as the others. I did not feel supported in my claim and it was lack in communication on many parts from the Law office.

Michael Underwood and his team of professionals represented me in a way that I could only have hoped for. All of my questions were answered in a timely fashion. All emails were responded to without fail. All phones calls were returned. Very knowledgable and familiar with the courts. I highly recommend the Underwood Law Firm if you want to come out on top.

We hired Vaughn several times since 2008. He has always done a great job, they're always there to answer any questions, answers the phone instead of making you leave a message, very reasonable and the list goes on. We've always been happy.

I worked for Vaughn Lang very very briefly many moons ago. He was awful. Rude and demeaning and demanding. Definite Napolean complex. I was learning from the ground up and he made me feel like the most stupid person alive. I hate my life when I worked for him but I got to see how he was as a person and would NEVER hire him as an attorney.

Ms Nwawka completely failed to advocate for us during court hearings and allowed herself to be completely bullied by the defending attorney. If that wasn't bad enough she gave us inaccurate legal advice which we followed and ended up costing us thousands of dollars even after seeking new legal counsel.
