Theresa went above and beyond for me. Even when the other side got underhanded and really dirty, she had confidence in me as a client and it made me feel safe and secure in situations where I might have doubted myself or been afraid, such as giving my deposition (which otherwise would have terrified me). She was communicative where I asked her to be, but also kept things private from me when I requested it due to the stress of my case. She was knowledgeable and helpful in all manners and was always good at educating me on areas that I was confused about. I can't imagine my case would have gone as well without her. She was patient, understanding, kind, and trustworthy. I was able to reach a settlement with her assistance and I couldn't be more grateful.

I had a problem with my employer not living up to their commitments to me as an employee. My case did not require taking this company to court due to Ms. Sidebotham and her staff composing compelling communication to the company that resulted in a fair and prompt resolution to my issue.

I have known attorney Theresa Sidebotham for several years as a fellow Christian attorney. I greatly appreciate her sharp mind, tremendous integrity, and enduring thoughtfulness. Her legal expertise and outstanding personal quality make her a great fit for Christian organizational clients as well as individuals seeking legal counsel in missions-related and other legal matters. She and I worked together on a highly sensitive whistleblower matter, and her wise counsel was spot-on throughout.

We hired David to help in a problematic offshore domain registration issue. David was both very knowledgeable on the subject and very creative in his response. He dealt with the issue pro-actively and decisively, representing our position robustly. I would definitely recommend David for any internet-related legal issues and we would happily use him and his firm again in the future.

Extremely friendly and frustrating. Worked with this law firm for many months, paid them $30,000 plus as my case involved litigation. Was told that even though I had done nothing wrong it’d be cheaper to settle than pay them to pursue the case. This went against all I believe in. After mediation was settled I was told that the first retainer paid to finalize the closing of the estate would more than enough. It wasn’t. I was told “my bad”you owe us more money,”after being assured that the second additional retainer was paid would definitely cover closing costs of the estate, it still wasn’t enough. I was billed a third time. My response, I said,”I’d had enough”.I was then informed that we can’t give an exact dollar amount to close the estate. However, after two payments which I was told would be more than enough, I was billed yet again. Enough was enough, as I was told a third retainer would be needed to close the estate. Unethical behavior by the law firm, specifically Brandi Jackson. Even after reading all the positive reviews , this law firm received I felt compelled to state my situation. If you want “nice people “to represent you, then this is the law firm for you. If you want a law firm that backs you up when you’re told you’re right, find a different law firm. I was told that “what’s fair doesn’t matter”.A lesson learned that the only winners are the attorneys, $30,000 plus for $1488 in math mistakes made by me Registered a complaint with the lawyer ethics committee to be told that even though what happened to me bordered on unethical , it had to be an extreme case of malpractice before anything could be done Hmmmmmm. Really? .

After my mom passed away, I had the privilege of working with Attorney Amanda and her Paralegal Krysta, and they were nothing short of incredible. Amanda assisted us with administering my mom’s trust. Initially, it appeared the trust would incur significant expenses if handled by a trust company. However, Amanda’s meticulous review and detailed understanding of the trust allowed her to find a way to achieve all of my mom’s goals while saving the family a considerable amount of money.
Our situation was far from typical, but Amanda took the time to develop a thoughtful and detailed plan that aligned perfectly with what my mom would have wanted. This was deeply important to our family, and Amanda’s dedication and expertise made all the difference.
Amanda’s intelligence and creativity were truly extraordinary. She provided a solution that not only honored my mom’s wishes but also allowed us to administer the trust ourselves. Beyond her exceptional professionalism, Amanda was friendly, compassionate, and genuinely understanding throughout the entire process. Her transparent and fair billing practices were an added comfort during an already challenging time.
Krysta was also outstanding—highly responsive, impeccably organized, and a pleasure to work with. Together, Amanda and Krysta make an exceptional team whose support made a difficult time significantly easier for our family.
I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda for any estate planning or trust administration needs. I will recommend her to all my friends and colleagues without hesitation.

She represented me in a very high conflict custody/divorce, and kept fighting through all of the chaos. She won and I got everything I asked for. Her cross examination let my ex husband rat himself out and show the judge his true colors.

Heather was supremely professional and came to my aid in the 11th hour when I was blind sided by a barrage of false allegations in the late afternoon prior to a hearing the next morning. She was able to provide a motion to dismiss and kept in contact with me giving me peace of mind during a very stressful time. I can not recommend Heather enough.

Heather Mitchell is an absolute crook. She will take your money, and not communicate with you when you are paying her for her communication and advice! Then when you call her out on her lack of communication, she will then threaten to vacate the case.I paid her over $15K in just 3 months, and she did absolutely nothing for me. I mean nothing. She was not prepared for my temporary orders hearing for the custody battle I was facing for my son. I showed up an hour early, on my request, hoping that we could utilize that hour to get on the same page seeing as to how we were about to be in front of the judge on Web x, and there was very little to no communication at all. When I arrived, she wanted to talk about anything and everything except for the details of my case. She also informed me that her and her helper were dealing with 51 other clients. 51!!!!!! How could just two people be handling and truly caring about 51 cases?! That’s when I knew she was only there for the money, not to help me and my son. She seemed wonderful when we interviewed her, but after that was all downhill. Talk about adding so much more stress into an already extremely stressful time. STAY AWAY from this crook! I promise you that you will not be happy with her ethics or her performance. I repeat, STAY AWAY!!!!

Kelly has been our family lawyer for many years now. She took our case when we had very little money to pay her, and continued to work over the years with dedication and empathy. We have been to court together against three different attorneys and have won every single time. She has been a blessing to our family and we owe her the world.

She told me that she doesn't care what's happening to my child. My child begged me to get her away from her father who is abusive. She failed to report with child investigator errors in the report, letters from teachers to court attention, and requests for court appointed therapist.

Kelly was was everything I hoped to find in an attorney. She was honest, sincere, empathetic, and competent. She was calm and collected in court and put a lot of time and effort into my case.

Mr. Cucullu did a great job representing me against a giant corporation. I will never forget him.

Nice gentlemen and seems fairly knowledgeable in legal matters. Responsiveness was on average with what I was expecting from an attorney. While hourly billing rates were reasonable compared to other attorneys, time required to perform relatively simple work was excessive yielding an outrageously high overall fee for very minimal services. His final bill turned out to be double what other attorneys had quoted. I would suggest shopping around then outlining deliverables and the corresponding fee before any work is begun.

Mr. Cucullu dropped out of sight after his initial contact with the person I had a complaint toward. Cucullu represented me in a case roughly about 3 years ago. He was responsive, on-the-ball, and respectful to me up until the time he received my money and sent out a letter. After that, he made unsatisfactory, intermittent contact with me for almost a year before I lost my patience.
