Mark represented me a few years back. He as professional as they come but also very relaxed. He knows his way around the system and those that work within it. If you're in a position where making this call is necessary, you won't find better representation.

Every detail of the law is recognized, utilized, and respected by this attorney. When you need an attorney, you want one that cares about more than financial gain, but handles your case seriously, reputably, with excessive attention to detail, and with dignity.

After hearing so many dreadful stories about probateing a Will, I was NOT looking forward to doing it at all. Tom Mastin put my mind at ease on the first visit. The process went very smoothly.
He explained each step, then took over and made it happen.

We highly recommend Heath Coffman. Unfortunately, it took a lot of time and money with other attorneys to see how good Heath really is. We started with a Board Certified Probate attorney that we found using this and other sites. Approaching 2 years and $40,000 out of pocket, the first attorney had done very little, even with the aid of a 7th year associate. They neglected to produce the most basic elements of a case like creating a damage model or taking a deposition. Understanding now that this was a complex case, the first attorneys floundered, wasting our time and billed us for it. Commitments, deadlines, budget, and adequate communication were inconsequential.
After we fired the first attorneys, we were referred to Heath. I presented all the evidence available to the previous attorneys. In 10 days, Heath had a comprehensive grasp of our case. Weeks later, Heath was prepared to seek a Summary Judgment. This is a testament to his superior intellect and application of the law.
Our experience with previous attorneys has left us disappointed. Several just did the wrong thing, filing incorrect documents or missed deadlines, leaving us no recourse. Most would not return calls for days. And the majority seemed unconcerned about the money we were spending.
Our experience with Heath was very different. He focused on results, while being sensitive to billable hours. He led us away from options that made us feel better, but would cost us more money and yield results no better. Heath was compassionate, ethical, and tireless. His actions clearly communicated that he truly had our best interest at stake.
I have noticed a few things about the attorneys with which we have dealt. Many believe that their knowledge of the rule of law makes them indispensible, and they act in their own best interests. To practice law, it takes more than legal knowledge; one must meet clients’ needs. To be an exceptional attorney, one must have the ability to manage time, organize concepts, run a business, be a counselor, and most of all have the intellect to separate himself from the others who merely pass the bar. Heath is clearly one of those exceptional attorneys who not only knows the law, but operates in the rarified strata of gifted litigators and compassionate counselors. Without any reservation, I strongly urge you to consider Heath Coffman for your legal needs.

Robyn is amazing. She provided council, guidance and the absolute best representation. Not only that but she won the case with such grace and easily outsmarted the opposing counsel with simple logic and pure legal skill. Robyn is one of those rare people that found there calling in life and is paying it back ten times over. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a Lawyer that will go to all out war for you.

From the moment I walked through the doors, throughout the duration of the court dates, and receiving the notice of case dismissal words are not enough to express my gratitude to Mitch for showing both empathy and a strong work ethic throughout the entirety of the court/case process.

He is EXTREMELY thorough, very helpful and unbelievably knowledgable. He has a great knack for getting a description of what the business needs and then realizing it in appropriate legal documents.

from the first time I met him I knew he was sincere and honest..
And I wasn't wrong, he helped me so much since day one. I have finally recieved my green card, so much doors have open for me since. I have now got my G.e.d I have enrolled in college and have recieved an awsome grant for school. The best thing about michael olivares is that his prices are very affordable, he will work in every way possible to help you in any matter with imigration. I just love the way he helped me with all the process. He deserves more than a five star rating...

I had faced so much frustration with my landlord. I contacted Mr. Harrison and from then on I was at ease. Mr. Harrison was a personable attorney, He handled my case with precision and prevailed. I could have not have asked for a better person to counsel us. He answered all of my questions in a language normal people can understand. This is a attorney I would like to keep in my back pocket. Definitely worth a simple e-mail or a phone call to check out. For a first time person ever needing a attorney, Mr. Harrison was the BEST!

I earlier today spoke to Brad Linder of the Sawaya law firm. I am not a client. I actually have an attorney from a different law firm. I only called Sawyer about some questions I had that I did not feel my attorney was answering correctly. Brad was very professional and extremely helpful. Gave me every piece of information that I needed. He actually even told me that it would be in my best interest to stay with the attorney I had, as I would make less money if I acquired another attorney. I could not have asked for more. I give this law firm five stars, I would give more if possible.

I came to Mr. Fulks with a complicated bankruptcy case mixed with my horrible divorce and several properties. I thought I was going to lose everything and then some. He listened to me when other attorneys I contacted just jumped in and started telling me how bad things were going to get. He assessed my situation carefully, asked really great questions, and then explained exactly what my options were. No pressure, no hassles, just a knowledgeable man with experience to really help. He helped me get my life back together, and I didn't lose my property. He even helped with sorting out what was happening in my divorce. Even when I was most anxious, he was calm and kept things focused, with just enough sense of humor to put me at ease. I cannot recommend him highly enough for any legal matter. He is exactly what you need, and I will always be grateful.

I first met John during a mid-sized corporate bankruptcy in 1988. I was impressed then, and still am, at how he facilitates getting deals done. Honestly, most of the attorneys I've dealt with have egos that constantly get in the way of getting things done (always trying to "out attorney" the other attorney whether it's helpful or not). John never loses sight of the real objective, not only to get the best deal possible, but to get the deal closed! John is very sharp with a wide range of knowledge, corporate, real estate, oil & gas, etc. He will tell you like it is, not what you want to hear, but does it gently. John will not hesitate to tell you when you need a specialist and facilitates the engaging of the best one. Since 1988 I have used John and his firm for all my business and personal dealings and even asked him to serve on the Board of Directors of my present corporation. John was instrumental in the negotiations to purchase our subsidiary and the multiphase sale of our other corp as well as helping me structure my future exit plan. In short, my experience for 25+ years is that John is one to be trusted to knowledgeably, efficiently and competently handle all my business dealings. I recommend him highly!

Laura was recommended to me by a friend who also thinks very highly of her. She is very knowledgeable in law and has great at attention to detail. She truly enjoys what she does. I highly recommend her and her associate. I had to use her each time my ex decided to try for custody (about 3 different times) She won my case for me each time. I will be using her again in the future. She is very gifted with people skills as well. Gives great legal family advise!
