I am so pleased to recommend the Ward Law Group! Attorney Ward represented me through my Social Security Disability application process. The entire process can be quite daunting, but Attorney Ward and his staff made it so much less scary! I would recommend for anyone who needs help with this type of application to "get thee to the Ward Law Group" without wasting any time. They were wonderful to work with (so easy to talk to and very warm and professional) and I had a positive outcome (thanks to them!).

Attorney Ward took my mother's SSDI case and delivered. Now she is approved and that has been a sign of relief for my family. If you need an experienced and caring SSA benefits attorney to represent you, look no further!

One of the BEST decisions I ever made was to hire the Ward Law Group in August 2020! Attorney Ward's entire legal team, especially his extremely diligent paralegal, Lori. There are seriously not enough words to express my gratitude. She is very efficient and put me at ease from day one. Not once did they make me feel like "just another routine" SS Disability case; I was a real person who needed help. When I met Attorney Ward at my hearing in May 2023, I understood why he and his legal team are the BEST! I am forever grateful and will always highly recommend the Ward Law Group!

The only regret I have is that I did not go with Sekella Law sooner. I used another attorney first time around and it was night and day once I signed on with Heather. As a father I felt my side was not taken seriously with the first ruling, but that all changed with Heather. My son is with me which is what he has been wanting for over three years.

I reached out to Heather regarding a fairly complicated post-divorce, post-alimony dispute related to health insurance coverage for my ex-spouse.
After an initial consultation where she educated me as to the uniqueness of my situation, she described a path forward that would provide closure. Though the issue took over a year to resolve (due mostly to the pandemic) I felt that Heather was attentive to my needs and generally cost-conscious in her approach.
In the end things went against me financially which, while unfortunate, was always a possibility. However she did achieve my primary goal of finality without having to go through a trial, so overall I was satisfied which the approach Heather took.

Life surprised me when I fell in love with my now husband, an immigrant. We knew we wanted to be together but weren't sure how to make it happen legally. I am SO glad we found Enrique and Mesa Law!! Sometimes working with the right person makes all the difference, and this was definitely one of those times. Enrique answered our questions, he worked with us and our particular situation, and he made a process that was confusing at first into something easy and straightforward. Plus, Enrique is just an authentic and likeable person. That's important! We liked him, and we could see that he was well liked at our interview. My husband became a conditional permanent resident, and now 2 years later we're preparing to apply for the removal of conditions. If you're reading this and you're on the fence, you've found a winner. Go with Mesa Law!

I found myself in need of the services of a New Hampshire attorney. Attorney John Tenn, of the law firm of Tenn and Tenn, was specifically recommended to me. I contacted his office and was able to speak to him the same day. From that initial contact onward I found John to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. He and his staff were prompt in returning my calls, addressed my questions and concerns in a timely and professional manner. He provided legal explanations and options in terms that I could clearly understand and evaluate. I was extremely pleased with the resolution of my case and I would strongly recommend Attorney John Tenn to anyone in need of first-class legal representation.

We all know someone for something. A great plumber , carpenter etc. My Family Law Attorney is Achsa Klug and her team. They are sharp, direct and get the job done. They set the right expectations and deliver. Everyone that i recommend to her. Thanks me. I don't get anything in return. You never want to be in any type of situation she deals with. But, the best course of action is to hire an subject matter expert that can help you in simple English terms, and yet legally be able to advise the courts on your behalf. A+ service! Nicholas

I highly recommend Attorney Skinner. He worked with me on my case to stop foreclosure and he did a wonderful job. He knows the law and is very compassionate towards his clients. He is responsive to any questions and available. He works tirelessly for his clients and he is super fast at responding and getting work done. I have worked with other attorneys prior to him and I quickly learned that unlike other attorney that overcharges for simple tasks. He gets the job done fast and efficiently! For example I needed a title exam on my property and another attorney took over weeks to get the information and it was incomplete. Attorney Skinner and his team turned that information around in a day what took another law firm weeks to do it, he does in a day....He is honest and upfront. Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to hire him. I have dealt with a lot of attorneys and they are of the old school of thought, where they don't inform you what is going on in your case, and non responsive to calls, and overcharges for any simple task and typically they forget you are the client. Attorney Skinner treats everyone with respect and he takes the time to explain your options and what is going on your casefile. You are never left in the dark. He is also does electronic filings and he immediately turns any information on your case to you immediately.

We hired Mr. Skinner for some issues we were having with my son's school. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. He took time to listen to our concerns, get the details correct and work on our behalf. After hiring him, we got exactly the result we had hoped for, maybe better. If you are looking for an attorney who knows what he is doing & will fight for you, I highly recommend Mr. Skinner.

I'm so glad I found Attorney Arnold. It was just an online search and sometimes you get lucky. Patrick is responsive, patient, and thorough. He explains issues and any legal implications in as much (or little) detail as one requires. I have a tenant problem (lack of rent payments, refusal to leave) that is still ongoing. At our first court hearing, Patrick got them to sign and honor an agreement to start paying immediately and to leave by a certain date. I'm happy to report that they DID make payments and they DID vacate the premises. I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own. My case continues, as there is still an issue of prior monies owed, but I'm very confident that a satisfactory resolution will be reached. Not only is Patrick extremely well-versed in the law and comfortable with the negotiations, but he was able to get my tenants OFF their BUTTS and he did it at an extremely affordable rate. I could not be happier with his services and highly enourage hiring him for your appropriate legal needs.

If you are reading this review because you are considering Patrick Arnold as your choice for legal representation I strongly recommend that you hire him and read this review. I was facing a possible 5 to 7 year prison sentence. To be honest things were looking pretty bleak. The County Attorney's Office was looking to play hardball but Patrick never even broke a sweat. The entire time Patrick remained upbeat and professional and looked at every single angle of the case. As for the outcome thanks to Patrick's diligence and leaving no stone unturned the DA's office went from offering me three years in prison with five years of probation as their initial plea offer to dismissing the charges entirely. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I had tried to represent myself or I didn't have Patrick's considerable attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to getting things done I would be sitting in a prison cell right now. Patrick also managed to do all of this while keeping my considerable levels of anxiety in check because he had a level of confidence in our case that made me feel completely at ease. Thank you so much Patrick!

I have referred several clients to Lonnie the past couple years all have been extremely satisfied with his service. I
I myself needed Lonnies service in a dispute with a previous Multi million dollar company who had been unwillingly to pay monies owed to me for several months. It was a complex situation involving a bank closure and funds being held in an escrow by a third party. One of the things that impressed me the most is the way Lonnie looked to me as the "expert" in the field where the dispute was and educated himself on the field, business practices etc to better help resolve our case in the end outside of long drawn legal proceeding. Lonnie handled himself in a firm but professional manner in dealing with a multi million dollar company and their legal team and resources, what seemed like a monumental task he simplified and got results. In these situations it is still good to know that the little guy still has a chance that is Corporate America.
Thank you Lonnie, I will continue to refer clients, friends and family members in need of your services.

After first contact with Mr. McCaffrey, he went to work right away regarding my loss wages claim. He was very involved and wanted as much information as I could give him to be able to better asses my case. Was very open and provided much needed honesty and assistance throughout the process. Gave very helpful information and advised me what outcome would be best. Ran through everything with me in detail for me to better understand the step by step process and what was going out with the case. He was great with keeping me informed and was knowledgable about the laws and regulations. He was always prepared during the first meeting, practicing my testimony, and the day of the hearing. I felt very comfortable and relaxed knowing I had a great attorney who was going to represent me as best as he could. Would absolutely recommend Mr. McCaffrey to anyone in need of assistance.

Background: I am a cis-gendered male who had a case of a former significant other purporting sexual misconduct by myself.
Robin immediately made me feel at ease, her demeanor and her attitude made me feel secure in her experience and qualifications (also getting her as a reference from another trustworthy lawyer helped). She played both legal counselor, and at sometimes sanity check. She prevented a possible expulsion and helped me finish my college career without a criminal record. She was reasonably priced, charged fairly for travel, and never seemed annoyed that she did have to travel. She never hesitated to consult her peers for advice, and explored all the options to every situation. Even after we ended our professional relationship, she had the courtesy to check on me and how I was doing. I appreciated all her work, and would suggest her to anyone in a similar situation.

I required an out of state lawyer and law firm in NH to aid me in my legal issue earlier this year in 2017.I chose Donna Brown and Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, PLLC because of their high ratings and reviews. Donna maintained continuous contact with me providing updates via phone/text and emails which was a complete joy to me and my family especially due to the nature of our issue and being an out of state client. Donna answered all my questions offered key advice and really showed that she cared absolutely about me. Donna completed my case in an exemplary manner and we had better than outstanding results. Myself and my family are extremely happy with the accuracy and humility and privacy that Donna and her firm afforded us. I would refer Donna Brown and Wadleigh ,Starr & Peters, PLLC to anyone whom requires 1st Rate lawyer services with personal and effective professional results. It’s a wonderful thing when someone tells you exactly what they can do to assist you and they come through on every count. Thank you always and forever Donna you were an absolute joy to work with.

Leslie Nixon was linked to my case as I happened to be working in New Hampshire when I was ejected from a vehicle while the driver fell asleep. I live in Maryland and would have to make trips up north in order to proceed with the case. The communication with her team through the entire process was exceptional. Her assistant Nicole requested and pushed information to me as they came and I feel that even though she wasn’t the original lawyer that I began the case with, she assessed what happened to me very well and was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the case. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law really shined through when I first went up north for my deposition and I felt with I was in great hands as she directed me what to do and not to do, as I’ve never been in the deposition process that lasted for over 4 hours!! I absolutely endorse Leslie Nixon to represent your legal needs. I thank her so much for helping me win my case and move forward with my life!!
