Michael has become a very important person to me and my family through the years, as he has thoughtfully and thoroughly protected and guided me and my daughters through a difficult divorce. His calm intellect and warm sense of humor kept me grounded during difficulties, and his knowledge and strength brought out the best in me while navigating through a chaotic and drawn out process. I am grateful for having the chance of working with him, and I consider him a friend after finding him as an attorney.

My husband and I recently worked with Chris and Donna on our first home-buying experience, and we can't say enough good things about Doelger Law! From start to finish, Chris was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the process as smooth as possible for us. As first-time homebuyers, we had lot of questions and concerns, but Chris took the time to explain every step in detail and made sure we fully understood what was happening. His expertise in real estate law was evident, and we felt completely confident with him guiding us through the complexities of the contracts and legalities.
Chris was incredibly responsive, always returning calls and emails quickly, and he was there to troubleshoot any issues that came up along the way. His attention to detail was outstanding, catching any potential issues that we would have never noticed. On top of that, his calm demeanor and positive attitude made the entire experience much less stressful than we imagined it could be. We truly felt like he had our best interests at heart.
Thanks to Chris, we were able to close on our first home smoothly and without any unexpected hiccups. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and personable lawyer to help you with real estate matters, we highly recommend Chris. He’s someone you can trust to have your back!

Frustrating Experience with Suris and Associates
I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with Suris and Associates has prompted me to share my concerns so that others can make informed decisions. After over a year of what I thought would be diligent representation for my case, the firm informed me that they would not be pursuing further actions. Their reasoning? They were unable to contact the insurance company.
For a law firm, one would expect a proactive approach, especially in a legal matter that can significantly impact someone’s life. Instead, I felt like my case was put on the back burner as I experienced frustrating delays and a serious lack of communication. Despite my repeated inquiries, there was a notable absence of the effort needed to seek justice.
It’s disheartening to anticipate some support in a challenging time only to find yourself poised on the sidelines. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Suris and Associates based on my dismal experience. I hope others have a more positive encounter, but my advice is to keep your options open and consider firms that exhibit the commitment and tenacity every client deserves.

Suri's and associates was recommended by My realtor and I'm so happy for the recommendation. I just closed on July 25th and I cannot praise the attentiveness from Angela who is my Lawyer's Paralegal. Angela was patient and answered all of my questions. I used Crystal Young as my attorney and all my contracts and documents moved smoothly throughout the process. I am so grateful to have been in their hands through this home buying process!

I had the pleasure of working with Jason Newfield as my attorney when getting disability. I highly recommend Jason as an attorney. What impressed me most was his high level of education in the area of disability insurance, his patience and the clear path that he established for me in my effort to reach my goals. He managed the process and insurance company representatives well, resulting in me achieving my goals. I must also add that his compensation is very fair. If you are looking for disability compensation, do not go through this process alone. Let Jason be your representative. He knows how to win. Impressive

Michael Pfeifer was a great help to my family during a difficult time. Last year, my father fell and broke his hip. Mr. Pfeifer began working with us the day after the accident. My mother needed legal work done and my father's dementia created complications. After surgery, rehab, six weeks at home, and another month in the hospital, it was clear that my father needed institutional care. Thanks to Mr. Pfeifer's efforts, my father's admission to the nursing home went smoothly. Later he qualified for Medicaid.
In February of this year, my mother suffered a small stroke. She came home after seven weeks in hospital and rehab. The rehab facility recommended 24-hour aide coverage, but we could only afford it for eight weeks. By successfully completing her Medicaid application, Mr. Pfeifer ensured my mother would have a full-time aide in her own home.
What I like about Michael Pfeifer's style is that he uses simple language, not legal jargon. He listens well. His billing method is straightforward. He instills confidence.
Michael Pfeifer provides calm reassurance. You may think you have an unsolvable eldercare problem, but he will show you that you don't. Mr. Pfeifer has a plan.

We are so very pleased with how Michael handled our estate planning. Everything was explained to us and in a way that was easy to understand. We were very impressed with the care that was taken to make sure everything was done perfectly. Pfeifer Law was highly recommended to us years ago by a friend when my mom needed an Elder Care lawyer. He did such a fantastic job for her that we knew he would do the same for us and he did.

After the death of my cousin, we hired Scott Kaufman to help us settle the estate. At the time we had no idea how specialized and intricate Surrogate’s Court proceedings could be. On my way into the courthouse to testify at the kinship trial, I distinctly remember thinking, "I wouldn't want to walk into the courthouse without expert representation." I'm glad we were in Scott’s capable hands.

Scott and his office staff achieved an excellent result on a tedious 3 1/2 year engagement, which included a genealogy study and ultimately a kinship trial. Both the paternal and maternal relatives were very appreciative of the amount of time and effort that was necessary to conclude this matter.
Although not a central point to the representation or the result achieved, the office could have been more forthright and frequent with their updates and case progress, particularly when asked directly about the status of the case.

Richie and Kim both go above and beyond for their clients. They offer personal, one on one dedicated service not offered by other firms.
If you want your case to be managed by paralegals who dont care about you- use someone else.
If you want Attorneys who answer your calls directly, gives you their cell phone numbers- and is dedicated do doing their job, AND MORE…. Richie and Kim are where you should go.

Tayne Law Group solved my legal problem quickly and efficiently. They communicated very well and achieved a positive outcome for me. I highly recommend.
Read more
11 Dec, 2024 by David allen jr
I am currently a very unhappy client, communication with the firm is non-existence, unless I initiate it. Then any info I need can't be handled on spot. It takes 2 - 4 days to even find out balance held in escrow account. They want to settle debts over monthly payments so they can keep collecting the interest on funds. I stated on many occasions I wanted a lump sum settlement no payments. I get a very good settlement offer directly from creditor, I explain Tayne us handling it for me. Agent at Tayne informs creditor that settlement works, however we need to make monthly payments over ten months. This with Tayne currently holding well over 90% of settlement offer. This turns into a argument between myself and Tayne; me asking what my escrow balance, Mike stating it will take three days to get this info, all while I hear a female voice in back ground staying we don't have enough in house for that settlement. I'm $296.65 short. Instead of telling me this they keep pushing your buttons to upset you even further. Remember I previously stated I wanted no payments in this matter. Been paying this firm $85.00 weekly to get to this point. It's all about the interest they will earn on your money.
BEWARE
UPDATE: For anyone who is considering this firm attached are emails I received concerning my SETTLED account. Everything I stated in my review is 100% facts. Read other reviews which are very similar to mine. This firm is all about taking people's money, not sending out statements, unless you call and request. I believe monthly statements are required by Federal Law when there are financial transactions being done. Per Rosie at Global Soultions the terms you presented of $3200 over 10 months is unacceptable, especially when you already have over $2900.00 in the escrow. Good-Luck proving otherwise.

I got into trouble with MCA debt and reached out to Ms. Tayne, but the experience was far from helpful. The free consultation felt like a waste of time, and I quickly regretted my decision. None of what she said would happen actually did, and her staff was unresponsive and unhelpful throughout the process.

I hired Sandra Radna as my malpractice attorney for two cases involving a misdiagnosis and improper treatment that led to a life-threatening condition, worsening my service-connected condition. Sandra was zealous in defending my interests every step of the way. Both cases were settled favorably around the five-year mark. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone dealing with personal injury issues—she fights hard for your interests and delivers results. She regularly responds, communicates and updates clients every step of the way.
