Kimberly was wonderful to work with. I had to leave a bad situation and wasn't sure what to do or where to start, but she was so nice and knowledgeable, and made a bad situation as pleasant as easy as she could. She's very communicative, compassionate, and knowledgeable, and will fight to get what you need. I would definitely recommend her, 10/10, for anyone looking for a divorce/family lawyer.

Jim kept me abreast of everything I need to know in a timely fashion. He calmed my nerves but was transparent and honest. Jim genuinely cared about my welfare, my family, the outcome, and my future well-being. I could not have gotten through this situation without his support, expertise, and care.

Jim was the attorney that helped my son when he got himself into a bit of trouble. He did a great job, made me feel as a mother I had nothing to worry about. He represented my son in the most honorable way. Very professional, and right up front with Joe. I think if Joe would not had Jim as his attorney I would have definitely not felt like my son was in good hands. To this day I can call him with a question and he has no problem helping me out. I believe he really enjoys what he does, if he didn’t he would not be so good and professional with his clients. I was then and still very impressed with his ability to make his clients feel at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who needed his services. A very great man/attorney.

James was referred to me by a close friend and I couldn't be happier that he did. I was very scared about my situation and was filled with guilt before I even spoke to James. After my first consultation with James it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing I was putting my case in his hands. He was polite and genuinely so easy to talk too. I was nervous I was going to talk to someone and they would make me feel even worse about my mistakes but he never once did that. He acknowledged I made a mistake and I will be able to move forward and put this behind me. He was comforting but also professional. He was able to make my case as short as I believe it could be for my situation and I couldn't be more grateful I found him. If anyone is hesitant about finding an attorney who truly cares about helping you the best they can I suggest James Metz as he was great in helping me.

My husband and I went to Glenn for estate planning. We found Glenn very knowledgeable and took the time to educate us on all our options. Completion and in person review of all the documents was excellent.

Glenn assisted me in setting up an estate plan that would protect my husband, who just had a stroke, in the event of my passing. He took time to explain the entire estate planning process as well as how the estate plan would work in different scenarios. His explanation was very easy for me to understand. His knowledge of estate planning, the laws affecting estates and Medicaid is thorough. I HIGHLY recommend Glenn and say to you, do not hesitate to contact Glenn with your estate planning needs. Hindsight is 20/20 and I truly wish my husband and I had followed through with meeting Glenn several years ago when we started thinking about estate planning, it would have saved us a lot of concern, frustration and money.

Glen Matecun did an excellent job in reviewing our financial plan, and updated it where it was needed. He answered our questions and spent time explaining the changes that were necessary. We were very pleased with how easy it was and would recommend him to others.

After losing my case with 2 different lawyers, I can confidently say that Jules Fiani is by far the best. I hired him to represent me in my license restoration case. His attention to detail and thoroughness was unmatched. Not a single detail fell through the cracks and I was fully prepared and confident on hearing day. His hard work won my case! The flat rate payment allowed for open communication whenever I had questions without the worry of extra fees. If you’re considering hiring Jules, don’t think twice about it. 10/10 recommend.

Mike has a desire to be successful in his services and representing myself. This was first demonstrated to me when Mike did his research on me to determine if I was being honest with him in the beginning. When he was certain that he was given all the correct facts, he took on the case. I really appreciated this, because when he accepted my case, he was committed to it and to me. Mike would review every aspect with me and explain the alternatives including the potential cost impacts with the various options before proceeding. Mike dealt professionally with everything that needed to be addressed. He discussed the issues with me and listened to what I had to say without making any pre-judgments. Mike would summarize the issues well and keep to the facts even though the other party attempted to “rabbit trail” at every opportunity. My “after-divorce” problems continued for years as the other party would continually challenge the final order. Even in this, Mike dealt professionally and worked to keep my interests protected. Mike is a professional individual that is first looking for a mutual agreement in a divorce but when a mutual agreement is not obtainable, he worked aggressively for my interests.
I truly give Mike my highest recommendations.

I had an ugly divorce and (1) year after the judgment was final…it got worse. I selected Mike to replace my original attorney. What a great decision! Mike stepped in and helped us through the unresolved issues and battles. He provided great legal counsel and shared wisdom that resulted in solving problems others had been unable to conclude. Since the divorce, I have worked with Mike on a couple of business matters, with the same result. I would recommend Mike to anyone needing an attorney that understands the emotions involved and will help you see your options for resolution. I will continue to work with Mike in the future and I count him as a great business associate and a member of my “legal team.”

Ms. Christine Heckler is better than ANY and ALL my lawyers I ever had represent me. She was court appointed but did not present herself this way. The professional conduct she uses is far beyond anything I would expect out of a court-appointed attorney and furthermore I would recommend this lawyer to EVERYONE. She is good.

An attorney friend ours referred us to Mark Gatesman because of his membership in the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorney’s. We hired Mark to help us with our son, a minor, who foolishly got into trouble. Mark assured us he could resolve the matter without our son having a criminal record. In a time of anxiety and uncertainty, Mark was able to answer all our questions. In Court Mark was able to get the case completely dismissed. Now my son doesn’t have a criminal record due to a one-time lapse in judgment. Mark Gatesman’s representation demonstrated compassion knowledge and experience in Juvenile Law. I would definitely recommend Mark.

My in-laws, who lived in Florida died, passed away suddenly. We were aware that Mark Gatesman was licensed to practice in the State of Florida, so we hired him to assist us with the Florida Probate. Mark answered all our questions about the Florida estate process and helped us fairly divide the estate within the family. It was comforting and wonderful having a knowledgeable local attorney who was able to handle our out of state Florida Probate issues efficiently and in a very timely manner.

Mark Gatesman represented me when I was sued in a professional capacity as a Realtor, a potential buyer was injured during a showing. Mark was able to explain the entire litigation process to me, which helped with the fear and anxitety that comes with being sued. Mark assured me that he would resolve the lawsuit to my satisfaction. Mark filed a motion requesting the Judge dismiss the lawsuit. In Court, Mark argued hard for me and was able to peruade the Judge to dismiss the lawsuit. Mark Gateman was able to get a lawsuit dismissed that never should have been filed against me in the first place. Thanks, Lesa

I hired Tim to help me with a driving on a suspended license charge. I was nervous that I would be charged and lose my license and be put on probation but after talking with Tim I knew I was in good hands. The day of my pretrial he called me and told me he talked to the prosecutor already and felt that we had a good chance at making a deal in my favor and to take my time getting there. Once I got to the court he greeted me and as we walked through the court house everyone we walked past he knew and was social with everyone there. I felt relieved that he was so well known and was cool with everyone there including the prosecutor. After about 10 minutes of him talking to the prosecutor he came out and told me the good news that my charges were lessened and that I would not be put on probation or lose my license, all of which he told me from the beginning was his plan. He was professional and personable and I am grateful I hired him.

Mr. Livingston was so helpful and showed such dedication he took it upon himself to personally visit me while I was in jail to go over my options and then he showed up at my sentencing personally when he was not supposed to and he was so very professional that I believe it was because of this that I received all the desired actions I was hoping for. I can not Thank him enough.

I hired Mitchell Perrault to represent me in a divorce, having fired my first attorney. Even thou I was pressed for time, Mitch agreed to take my case. Mitch was honest, honest, and honest. He was up front with what to expect even if it wasn't necessarily in my favor. He was conscientious with his time so as not to run up unnecessary fees. He was kind and compassionate. He is very skilled in navigating the divorce process and knows the law. I could have not been in better hands. Wish I would have hired him first.

Michael was very kind, patient and extremely helpful to us in acting as our surrogate in a real estate sale that was inherited property and had to be divided equally between 2 siblings. Since we lived in a different state and were unable to physically attend to these issues Michael was able to address all of our concerns that gave us a great deal of peace of mind. All of our sincere thanks! We couldn't have been more appreciative!

I’ve been working with Ashley for over a year now, on a very complicated case. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and creative. She knows her way around the family court system, and her demeanor makes me feel very secure. She’s direct, supportive, and clear in her communications with me.
I’ve worked with other attorneys in the past, but Ashley is everything that I’ve ever needed and wanted in an attorney. She truly cares about my case, and the needs of my family. I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance. Family court is a difficult system to navigate, and it’s easily overwhelming. Without Ashley’s assistance, I don’t know what I would do. I’m truly thankful for her, and I believe she is gifted in her field.

I hired Carolyn Henry to represent me in a Felony Assault on a police officer case. I live in Livingston County Michigan and the courts are VERY tough here so a great, aggressive, knowledgeable, lawyer is a must when your facing serious charges. My case was way out of control from the beginning, I was over charged by the procicuiter with a 4th Habitual offender so the penalty could have been very hard. Carolyn worked her magic, and was willing to go to trial if she couldn't get a reduced charge. I was totally ok with taking a disorderly conduct charge, because that's all I truly did. To make a long story short, Carolyn got the charges reduced to disorderly and the 4th Habitual dropped as well. My sentence was just $150.00 fine and no probatio, no jail. It was a great outcome and I am completely satisfied with her representation. If you want a no nonsense lawyer, that is familiar with the way Livingston County does business I'd highly recommend her.

Marcus just handled a case my wife and I had, and everything worked perfectly. He is an excellent communicator, keeps you in the loop and informed, and knows his stuff. We were in uncharted waters with the legal system (and to be honest, the system, unfortunately, takes full advantage of uninformed people and takes its time as well), and Marcus was the guy we were fortunate enough to have at the Helm!
He prevented a trial and settled our case. If you were searching for a great attorney in the area, you found one!

He was an excellent attorney and held my hand through the whole legal process. I would highly recommend working with him, particularly if you're new or anxious about court/government-related things. He got me a great outcome that saved me a lot of wasted time and money and he knows all of the Livingston county courts and officials well and won't give you ridiculous promises he knows are completely unrealistic. No matter how much you beg, trust me. He will be realistic with you and set realistic expectations and is quite direct and easy to talk to. He's a great guy to have on your side.
Definitely give him a call for legal services; I did and I'm quite pleased with that decision. Literally saved me thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours.
Marcus, thank you so much for all of your hard work and your patience with me. You were very kind to me during some of the hardest times of my life and it was always sincerely appreciated, if not necessarily communicated effectively.
