Going through a divorce is probably one of the most painful things that a person can experience. With Corinne, you are in very capable hands. She is an astounding attorney, but - just as important - she is a compassionate human being. The combination of her legal skill and her humanity make here a rare find indeed. Who could be better to guide you through the painful divorce process? It is not an overstatement to say that she changed the course of my life at a time that I was down and broken. I don't know whether the Universe put her in my life, or if I was just plain lucky. You just can't do any better than to have her on your team.

Cori not only was a great lawyer for my divorce, but also a great friend who helped me get through the process, suggested additional resources for me to check out. Explained things clearly and kept me to the facts and potential outcomes.

Therese was very helpful during the process. She wanted to make sure that I had a voice. She would give me options and then I made the decision of what path I would like to take in the process.

Attorney Henke is an excellent choice if you are looking for a lawyer. Therese recently represented me in my divorce. I found her to not only be a phenomenal legal resource, but kind, personable, and tough when she needed to be with opposing counsel. Therese kept me informed throughout every step of the process and was always timely in her communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney!

Therese is a highly competent and experienced attorney. Atty. Henke's experience and detailed knowledge of the process helped me immensely through my divorce. As a father, she was instrumental in securing 50/50 placement with my minor children when the other party was seeking to award me zero placement. Atty. Henke also successfully protected as much of my assets as was allowable in my situation. My divorce could have been so much more stressful but for the thorough preparation, high level of experience, integrity and professionalism of Atty. Henke.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and I knew that at some point in time I'd need financial assistance so my retirement savings won't be totally depleted. With our health care support changing rapidly and minimal support from our county ADRC, I needed somebody that has the knowledge of the Medicaid regulations. Carol Wessels presented several classes to an Alzheimer's Support Group and gave me enough information to think that we might be approved for Medicaid assistance. She gave me the guidance I needed to gather the information for her office to complete the application and respond back to many additional questions that came back from this application. What a relief to have her support and eventually accepted for Medicaid assistance.

Carol is very knowledgeable and empathetic. She has the ability to look at the whole picture and give the family a plan.
I met with Carol when I was overwhelmed with the changes in my husband, due to dementia. Her calm demeanor and kindness to my husband touched my heart. She knows how to relate well to those with Alzheimer's. Without her, the Medicaid application and process would have been daunting. I highly recommend her!

We met with Mike for a preliminary session where he asked us a lot of questions. He gave us an assignment to list our assets and how we would like them distributed should something happen to us. He was extremely thorough and detailed. I really like his approach and explanation of options for estate distribution.

Jeremy is a knowledgeable and communicative lawyer. He handled my legal needs while exceeding my expectations with his promptness and foresight. For example, he is the type of person who takes the time to do things right, because he's conscientious about working with his clients. I never had to contact Jeremy or ask for any updates, because he kept me continuously informed. He puts people first, and I am grateful to have had his help.

I have never left a review before, so that should be the first indicator of how thrilled I am with Jason, not just as an attorney, but as a person as well. Jason the person helped me through a very difficult period in my life. Jason the attorney resolved my case way beyond my best expectations! Could not be more pleased. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I would say that Jason is a miracle worker! Not only did he help me get the least amount of time he did it with honor and integrity. He’s respectful and so personable. I rode my bike to a coffee shop, and he met me there I mean how many lawyers do that? it was a godsend that I just happened to pick his name out of the book or I mean on Google you know. Anyway, I have nothing but absolute admiration for this man.

He was hired to fight a custody case and did not talk to his clients much and left them in the dark. 10k down the drain for lack of communication and not taking the suggestions into consideration that would of helped the case. Go somewhere else.

Attorney Napierala stood by my side and won me a 10 year restraining order against my ex-boyfriend. I was completely terrified but he walked me through the whole entire process and kept me calm through it all. He's so intelligent, kind and big hearted. He's also never lost a restraining order case in 30 years! I would recommend him to anyone.

Napierala had me sign a contract stating that I had to pay him in $2,000 in advance when each $2,000 was exhausted. He inflated his time on the bill and claimed I owed him money even though the contract I signed said I had to pay in advance of services. He canceled mediation the day before because I had not paid him another $2,000 in advance and he refused to discuss his inflated bill. Even though he told me his paralegal was billed at $135 hr, he charged me at his rate when I dealt with her. Most of the time I spent with his paralegal. She had errors on documents so I had to come back four times. IMO that was a ploy to increase his bill. A motion that I had signed took three weeks for this law firm to get a date from Washington County Court due to phone tag. Another motion that I had signed did not get sent off to Washington County until four weeks later. Napierala also emailed me another client's personal information even though her email address and correspondence were in the email. I forwarded his response to his other client and she said she was not happy that he passed on her personal information. Napierala let my husband's attorney add things to an agreement close to an hour before we were to go to court. Napierala also sat silent in court while my husband's attorney lied about a phone bill. Napierala also did not speak up for me in court and let my husband's attorney make me have my separate phone account and he did not speak up when my husband's attorney requested I move out in 45 days, receive a small maintenance during that time with it being increased after I got an apartment, which was a nightmare because of the timing of payroll deductions and support payment, so I am currently short maintenance that is due to me. Napierala gave me very little legal advice. He told me to get an apartment with a pool and told me of the time he lived in an apartment. Napierala does not have a fax machine, he told me he removed the number from his site and that the fax machine belongs to an attorney he shares office space with. Napierala's paralegal is part time, with no set amount of days or hours worked each week. Napierala's voice mail system is sensitive, if you call it and don't press the button at the precise moment to leave a message, you will either get transferred to Dan Goldberg's law firm or you will get a message that says, "Thank you for using Audix." There are better divorce attorneys out there and plenty that have full time office staff, who will file motions in a timely manner and represent you properly who have a reliable answering machine and a fax machine.

Carol’s elder law experience is exceptional. She definitely has walked the walk and is not all talk.Her guidance saved me a great deal of expense as she knew the governmental rules and regulations. She gave me new life as I thought all my hard earnings were going to be exhausted for the care of those I loved. I owe her a lot for using her experience for my later benefits in life that I’m enjoying today…

I believe that Wessels & Liebau have given me great advice and guidance for the 7 or 8 years that I’ve used their many services. Carol Wessels has helped me prepare and revise my will during some most troubling times; the years that my late wife was struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease, her death and my new marriage and new life. Carol helped me implement my wishes. Thanks so much.

My wife & I recently used Attorney David Watson to impliment a Trust for our estate planning along with creating an Operating Agreement for our established business. In addition, David also guided me through a sensitive issue involving one of our customers before it became a problem. David's broad-based knowledge of the law & his personal attention to us throughout the entire process gave us the reassurance we needed in an area we had little experience with. David answered all our questions and was prompt resopnding to us as we worked through all the steps to accomplish these long over-due and important matters. I'd highly recommend The Law Offices of David Watson LLC as your go to attorney for all matters and I look forward to working with him in the future.

David is a fabulous attorney who is so knowledgeable about estate planning! He made the process incredibly easy and answered all our questions. Since this was an area we were not familiar with, David guided us through the entire process seamlessly. We feel so much better now that our trust is set up and knowing that our wishes will be handled accordingly. Please contact him if you need to do estate planning or have any probate questions. Highly recommended!

I consider them a great blessing and would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you again for all your hard work, dedication, and going above and beyond much love and respect, sincerely Theresa Martinelli.

My parents hired and relied on him for advice and counsel for a living trust and will to avoid probate as much as possible. He met with them, advised them, prepared the documents, made changes over the years, and of course charged his fees to provide a living trust document and will. My mother passed well before my father. No action on funding the living trust. The entire estate ended up in probate. Cost the estate thousands in legal fees, court fees, and time. I would never use him for living trusts or wills based on the poor legal service that he provided my parents. Seek a lawyer who is qualified and competent in trusts, wills, and estate planning. It sure is not Rob Holtz!!

I hired Russell Jones because the Shepard Express news paper, a liberal paper, rated him as the best defense lawyer for your money.
When I talked to him he sounded very confident in his ability to fight the case.
After hiring him , he gave me no idea on what our plan was and every time I called him he never answered. He would only text or call back the day before court. The end result was pushing the court case back for 2 yrs. We even paid him an additional $6,000 to take it to trial, which never happened.
Without any guidance from Russell Jones, I basically took matters into my own hand and with the help of my family and other circumstances took the case into a more favorable direction. After sentencing I requested him to ask for an amendment to the judgment. After two weeks of not being able to get a hold of him and having my sister to ask him to meet me. We met with me on video, where he yelled and said he claimed he met his obligation and hung up.

Attorney Jones failed to return all calls and email correspondence. I submitted a letter to the judge in my case and asked Attorney Jones to review it before he submitted it. Either he did and doesn't know that you can't ask a judge to change whatever offer the prosecutor is offering or he didn't read it and submitted it to Court. He made both of us look like idiots in front of the judge. He also refused to try to negotiate with the prosecutor on my plea deal. His answer pretty much is, it is what it is. After immaturely (his actions and communication) withdrawing as Counsel I got a new attorney and everything went great and my more serious charge will soon be dismissed.

I warned Nina that my divorce would get messy and I gathered all the information that she requested and she did nothing with it. She billed for a lot of hours, but I saw no results of that billing time. She only accompanied me to court one time, but went through $7,000. She has a reputation for being aggressive, but she was anything BUT aggressive on my case. When I questioned that, she then suggested that I find another attorney. Leaving me with no attorney and upcoming court dates.

She has done pretty much nothing for me other than show up to court and take $4,500 of mine. She is not at all worth her hourly rate. I seriously could have done better representing myself. She constantly couldn't remember anything about my case. Shame on you Mrs Vitek :-(

Stan is an "old-school" attorney and has not kept up with the times. He does not respond in a timely way to anything and gives questionable advice. I can't trust his advice and have to ask around to see if what he is saying to me is legit. I have been able to get more results on my case in one hour than he can get in weeks. He can't handle the pace of today's world and has no tenacity. He's far too polite, slow and not by any means an advocate.
