Being is a situation of being wrongfully terminated out of the blue by DHS was devastating and there was a number of us all in the same situation together. We talked with several lawyers and none of them were willing to step up and take the case for us until we met with Media Law. Ashwin got his team started right away and was ready to take on the state. Now lets talk about Tara Jensen. The amount of time and effort this amazing woman put into our case was astronomical! She had 10's of thousands pages of documents thrown at her and painstakingly went through each document to find every line to help our case. She was direct and to the point during depositions and never wavered when opposing council was taking bulling to the next level, yet remaining kind, personable and reassuring to me the entire time. This was a 5 year process and we could not have asked for a better team of people to get us through it and did not even imagine a more favorable outcome against a powerful employer. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this please stop your search for an attorney here and call Media Law immediately. You will never find a better team of lawyers to fight for you and always make you feel like you and your case matter.

I am thankful to have been represented by Madia Law throughout a long battle against a large, powerful public entity. Myself and 3 co-plaintiffs had a complex employment case with multiple claims including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and a whistleblower claim. My interactions with all Madia Law team members were phenomenal. Tara worked tirelessly through thousands of pieces of evidence to help build a strong case. Tara and Ashwin were always available to answer questions, provide reassurance and give honest, realistic advice - always with the best interests of myself and fellow co-plaintiffs in mind. Tara & Ashwin were personable, yet fierce fighters, advocates and negotiators. In the end, we were able to gain a large settlement without needing a jury trial, but the team was well prepared to dominate in court if needed. I highly recommend the Madia Law team. Thank you Tara, Ashwin, and team! You are stand-up people & should be proud of your efforts to fight for what is right.

Being is a situation of being wrongfully terminated out of the blue by DHS was devastating and there was a number of us all in the same situation together. We talked with several lawyers and none of them were willing to step up and take the case for us until we met with Media Law. Ashwin got his team started right away and was ready to take on the state. Now lets talk about Tara Jensen. The amount of time and effort this amazing woman put into our case was astronomical! She had 10's of thousands pages of documents thrown at her and painstakingly went through each document to find every line to help our case. She was direct and to the point during depositions and never wavered when opposing council was taking bulling to the next level, yet remaining kind, personable and reassuring to me the entire time. This was a 5 year process and we could not have asked for a better team of people to get us through it and did not even imagine a more favorable outcome against a powerful employer. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this please stop your search for an attorney here and call Media Law immediately. You will never find a better team of lawyers to fight for you and always make you feel like you and your case matter.

I am thankful to have been represented by Madia Law throughout a long battle against a large, powerful public entity. Myself and 3 co-plaintiffs had a complex employment case with multiple claims including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and a whistleblower claim. My interactions with all Madia Law team members were phenomenal. Tara worked tirelessly through thousands of pieces of evidence to help build a strong case. Tara and Ashwin were always available to answer questions, provide reassurance and give honest, realistic advice - always with the best interests of myself and fellow co-plaintiffs in mind. Tara & Ashwin were personable, yet fierce fighters, advocates and negotiators. In the end, we were able to gain a large settlement without needing a jury trial, but the team was well prepared to dominate in court if needed. I highly recommend the Madia Law team. Thank you Tara, Ashwin, and team! You are stand-up people & should be proud of your efforts to fight for what is right.

Amundson took advantage of father signing papers when incapacitated. Kept the 2nd part of inheritance but gave brothers there's. I never signed papers for this to occur! Said dad was entitled to my share. No, he wasn't dad had his own shares. Where's the money go? In his pocket or to brother, in charge of dad's finances. In cohoots with the brothers lawyers. I want my money plus interest.

An absolute great initial experience with this law firm. From the receptionist to the "Intake Coordinator", Darwin, to our consultation with attorney J. Noble Simpson, we were treated with first-class attention. The process of spending 30 minutes with Darwin and answering many insightful questions about our case was refreshing. It made for an extremely productive 1.5 hr consultation with Mr. Simpson. We were apprehensive about spending $500 to talk with Mr. Simpson, but his preparation made that $500 some of the best money we have spent. Prior to our consultation, we sent multiple audio recordings and documents pertaining to our case. Mr. Simpson digested all that information and was thoroughly prepared to discuss it in detail at our consultation. Additionally, his professionalism and knowledge of his craft is impressive. If you are considering a Trust/Will/Estate litigator, you MUST give Mr. Simpson an opportunity to represent you during this difficult time. Quay and Dawn Richerson

From day 1, Zak gave me realistic and honest expectations how my divorce process would unfold. His advice and leadership soothed my unease, even when I had doubts in the tough times.
I would consider his services the perfect metaphor as: measure twice, cut once. Every cut was precise and well intended for the best result to resolve a successful conclusion in each matter.
The success I have going forward is guided from being represented by Zak Kretchmer in my divorce and solidifying my rights to my three beautiful children.

I hired Drewes Law for a family to family, as-is real estate transaction so therefore a much more expensive realtor was not needed. I hired them based on the other great Google reviews and it was a great decision!
They explained the process in detail and answered all of my questions up front, then got going on the process while always keeping me in the loop. We were working through a family member who was Attorney-in-fact/Power of Attorney for my grandmother, which slightly complicated things in my opinion but it was never an issue for the Drewes team.
Toward the end there was an issue with the county rejecting some filings, to which Drewes Law reached out to me immediately to let me know, but also let me know they re-reviewed everything and told me they were confident there was no reason for the rejection. They called my county the next business day to which the county recognized the mistake and that it indeed should not have been rejected (mistake due to being down workers/having new workers due to Covid). The County immediately approved and I was sent the Deed a few days later. Excellent work and thoroughness by the Drewes Law Team!
David, Annie and Jonathan were fantastic to work with and I would recommend them to anyone needing Real Estate law representation.
Thanks Drewes Law team for helping us purchase this little piece of paradise that my family and I will continue to enjoy for years to come!

We hired Mr. Shane to defend my son from false allegations that could have been catastrophic for his future. Mr. Shane came extremely highly recommended to us by a colleague. We are beyond grateful for how genuine, dedicated, responsive, and kind Rob Shane was, both to our son and to our entire family. We never had one single moment of doubt that he was doing everything he could for us. Rob has been a consummate professional but perhaps more importantly he was warm and kind in a period in our lives when we were terrified at what was happening to our family. Without any hesitation at all, I would recommend Rob to anyone in need of a criminal attorney. He is effective, tough, and a valuable person to have on your side.

Mr Shane represented me in a felony prostitution charge after I plead not guilty.
He developed a defense strategy and enhanced my defense with a solid expert testimony that educated the jury about a complex topic and made passionate arguments at trial.
I remain eternally grateful for his professional and emotional assistance throughout this difficult case. Of a fact, Mr Shane is an expert in criminal defense and indeed the best criminal defense attorney anyone could depend on.
Focusing on the truth, law and the facts of the case, he obtained a unanimous NOT GUILTY verdict and restored my freedom.
I highly recommend him to help in your criminal case.
Thank you Sir!
