Mr. Dummar did an excellent job from start to finish in my family law matter (Divorce, Custody, Child Support). He was accessible and responded to phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. I would absolutely use Dan again for my lawyer for future legal issues. He comes highly recommended.

I would strongly recommend Dan Dummar. Dan is extremely focused on his clients, as a person, and invests emotion into the case. He never missed an opportunity to make a phone call, write a letter, or do whatever necessary to go above and beyond for us. He was very calmly aggressive with situations he knew were not right and challenged individuals and decisions that were questionable. Dan is a very honest, solid and commendable person. We feel so fortunate to have had him on our side and defending our family.

Mandy Davis of this law firm handled the sale of my property in salmon, idaho, for alliance title.
Her failures to inform us of essential information resulted in weeks of delays and a sale price reduction of thousands of dollars to keep the buyer. It took dozens of emails & phone calls asking her what forms she needed with her replying with only the generic title, which we ultimately had to determine on our own. She lacked common knowledge about probate laws and refused to do anything to help us or figure it out herself. I don’t know if she is a lawyer but i will pass this on as a complaint to the state bar association about this law firm.

I'm not one to write reviews, but I have to say Sean Bartholick will give you the best representation you can get. His Integrity far exceeds your anticipation of what an attorney should be. He answered all my questions and gave me possible outcomes. He kept me up to date of what the next steps would be. Put your trust into Yessica and Sean, they have your back. In a court of law nothing is certain, but you can bet Sean will go to bat for you again and again. He doesn't settle until the best possible outcome can be reached for you. If you don't go with Sean, your crazy. Thanks Sean!

I have dealt with many legal firms over the years for various matters, but Mr. Hales tops the list. He is very down to earth and demonstrates that he cares, but at the same time he is extremely professional and formal when formal is a necessity. I have added his information to my contact list database because I would not hesitate to call on him, whether my needs fell into his field of practice or not, I would trust his recommendation.
Simply by way of information, we hired Mr. Hales to deal with a matter pertaining to the disposal of our timeshare, which he handled most efficiently and made sure any instructions as to our roles and responsibilities in the case were clear and concise.
In closing, thank you Mr. Hales for your time and efforts concerning this matter. We look forward to perhaps communicating again at some point in the future.
All the best to you and yours, especially in your new affiliation with the larger firm.

Mr. Hales is meticulous, honorable and an exceptional attorney. He has given my husband and I, peace of mind after we were mislead into purchasing a timeshare that became a NIGHTMARE! I reached out to Michael for his help after trying to resolve my problem and exhausted all my options. I just wished I would have come to him from the beginning because I know he is the real deal in getting the job done. I am blessed to know him & recommend him highly.

Mark was prepared and knowledgeable about my issue at the first appointment. He seemed to listen instead of just knowing what I was about to say. I appreciate that. He promptly did what he said he would do and so far, it seems to have corrected the problem. I also appreciate that I didn't have to call his office a dozen times. Should there come a time, I need to hire an attorney again, I would definitely contact him.

Mark took the time to help me understand the legal implications of an uncomfortable business situation I was in by reviewing and helping to alter a contract to ensure that my rights were protected. He was patient, understanding, and compassionate about me and my situation. Ultimately, he helped me to reach a positive conclusion to a potentially devastating circumstance. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone.

Mr Taylor drew up in a very timely manner the document I needed to protect me as executor of my father's Trust and to legally fulfill that responsibility. His recommendations and services were extremely helpful. He returned our calls in a timely manner and contacted us as needed. We enjoyed workingwith him. I would very much recommend him for his legal skills and professionalism as well as personality. Compensation for his services seemed reasonable and his payment methods appreciated.

Mr. Rodino was very sensitive to my needs. He is very knowledgeable and provided me with the information I needed in order to make important decisions about my finances. I highly recommend Mr. Rodino to anyone who is looking into filing bankruptcy.

I filed for bankruptcy and Terry Rodino was my attorney. I liked that he didn't make me feel horrible about having to file for bankruptcy. I always felt that I knew what was going on with stuff. In fact, I think we talked every week. When we had to meet with the judge, he was there with me. I wasn't nervous, because he told me all of the questions the judge was going to ask me.

Without boring anyone on to much detail, I found Mr. Ericksons representation more than satisfying.
I was in California when a warrant had finally been issued in Idaho for my arrest, having missed a court date regarding a petty theft arrest months prior. I did not know about the warrant because documents had been mailed to a previous address, and I dropped the ball big time by not making the original court date. Not until I got a stop sign ticket in California did the officer inform me there was a warrant in Idaho with my name on it. It was a misdemeanor warrant so he wasn't going to do anything about, just told me to take care of it.
I looked online and made a call Mr. Erickson's office. I left a message with his secretary and got a call back about a week later (that's why he only got 4 stars on "responsiveness"). After a straightforward discussion regarding all the facts, his fee's, and expected outcome; I mailed his office a check for retainer.
One thing that I found pleasantly surprising was his openness and honesty with me. He told me exactly what his plan was, how much time he expected it to take, and in the end it was pretty much what he said. Being out of state, I was really relying on him to get this done for me and he definitely delivered. He met with the county prosecutor (or DA, I don't remember), got charges dropped, got warrants quashed, and got my name cleared. The icing on the cake was I got some retainer back. I expected to get a bill for a little over the retainer amount, but he didn't even use it all up. In the closing documents he sent I received an itemized list of his billing hours down to the 10 minute block.
I have already recommended Mr. Erickson to a member of my family still living in Idaho, and I would recommend him again if need be.

My dad passed about 3 weeks ago and we should get his death certificate this week. At that time all 3 of his children will get together and read the will he prepared before his death. My concern and need of an attorney to represent me is because my brother got my dads house and a bank account with over 100,000 in it. And my sister got my dads 65 acre farm and a bank account with 100,000 in it. But my sister is the executor of his will and told me i am only getting 1000.00 a month in installments. Its not fair at all they get all that and i get shafted. A thousand dollars won't pay my bills. Also my dad had a newer car that i was driving after he passed and i thought maybe i would get the car, but my sister's daughter wanted the car and without consulting me my brother told my sister to give the car to her daughter even before the will was read. She drove off in the car and my sister said. "Don't worry we'll get you a better car"
Another complaint is i was giving my dad $500.00 a month rent to live with him in his house. This was paid for 3 years.This money was supposedly put in a box which he took to my sisters house before his passing and I've had no access to that money. My sister told me they will help me move out of dads house becausei dont have any money to move and my brother got the house and is already moving in..I am being taken out of my residency because of the will and my sister has told me " You better start saving your money so you can move" So she tells me i will get help to move but then tells me i have to start saving my money to move. I feel i need an attorney who specializes in family wills to represent me at the time the will is read.

Great attorneys! They were really great to work with. They are the type that won't just tell you what you want to hear and take your money, they actually understand the law and will let you know what is likely to happen and if you want to go forward or not. Have worked with other attorneys in matters of business and these guys were the best.
