I’m retired and split my time between CT and OR. My original estate plan was developed by a law firm in CT. Mr. Ryan Collier was very thorough in reviewing my original estate plan and making suggestions for the update. His review of my original estate plan identified a deficiency. Updates were incorporated into the new estate plan to protect my assets in OR & CT. Collier law firm was very helpful and responsive to any questions that arose after our initial meeting. The final documentation package provided was excellent. I would highly recommend using this firm for your estate planning needs.

Estate planning - explained everything to me carefully. Made sure I felt heard. Thorough. Made me feel wanted and welcome. Quickly and efficiently addressed my concerns and updated my plan on the spot when minor changes were needed. I feel safe to ask questions in the future if I have any.

Over the last few years, I had referred my mother, and then my in-laws to Collier Law for their estate and trust preparations and then my wife and I chose to use them for our trust set up most recently. We've had a very positive experience - Mayra was thorough in her interview of our needs. She broke down the concepts and gave more accessible explanations for legal issues. She was patient as we took our time to get documents ready. And we were presented with a trust package that makes it so much easier for us and our executors to review together.

If you’re looking for legal assistance with immigrating yourself or a loved one, this is the attorney you want. Allow me to explain:
1. Free initial consultation - What initially drew my wife and I to this firm was the free initial consultation. He’s willing to take the time to sit with prospective clients and discuss their options before billing them a dime for his services, whereas most of the other lawyers I spoke with wanted to charge a consultation fee.
2. Pay for the job, not the hours - Terrence Green and his assistants charged us a flat rate for the acquisition of my wife’s Green Card. We paid half up front, and paid the rest off afterwards. This fee covers all your bases, so if the federal government wants to interview you, he will attend with you as part of his services for no additional fee. If you have questions or concerns, he and his associates make themselves available to you anytime during business hours without charging additional costs for their time.
3. Friendly and Professional - Everyone at Terrence Green Law LLC has treated us with kindness, dignity, and respect, on top of providing us with excellent legal counsel.
4. No hassle - Not only did they make the green card process incredibly easy for us, but they also made it very easy to set up scheduled payments for our legal fees.
Everything considered, you get a tremendous amount of value from hiring Terrence Green Law LLC as your immigration attorney. The quality of service, availability, and affordability make a strong case for hiring his services to assist your family. We live in a politically volatile time where immigrants are often the subject of persecution for political gain. Don’t let your family be victimized by those who would use your misfortune to rally their base. Let Terrence and his team help you get immigrated legally, and live the American dream you deserve.

Terrence Green helped handle my Naturalisation process. Having him and his team looking over the documents, making sure that everything was in order, explaining the process and having him turn up to my interview was very reassuring.
The entire team are friendly and helpful, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for Immigration advice.

Working with Eden Rose Brown and her talented staff has impressed us for years. We became official clients in the past couple years. Leading up to this time though, we gleaned information from this firm to prepare ourselves to develop our comprehensive Estate Plan/Living Trust. They have several workshops each year to assist current and potential clients to better understand the process, benefits, and resources needed to complete a plan. We can't say enough about the always friendly staff, and quick response times to our requests. Truly a special firm with genuinely courteous and well informed staff. So happy to have built this relationship with them. Highly recommend to all families that are needing guidance on their legacy planning.

I can't say enough good things about Gunn & Gunn. We were thoroughly impressed with the amount of dedication Mr. Marc Gunn and his son, Marcus, showed to our case. They were professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us through the complexities of the case with patience and clarity, easing what was already a very difficult and stressful experience. I highly recommend Gunn and Gunn for anyone in need of exceptional legal representation!

“Without a doubt, Mark and Markus are the best lawyers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. This dynamic father-son duo is as close to Perry Mason as you can get—sharp, skilled, and absolutely unstoppable. Their expertise is unmatched, but what truly sets them apart is their genuine care and commitment. During one of the most difficult and emotional times in my life, they not only offered brilliant legal guidance, but they also took the time to explain every detail with honesty and compassion. They made a complex, overwhelming situation feel manageable. I would recommend them 1,000 times over—every penny spent was more than worth it. If you want top-tier legal representation, look no further.”

Mr. Stern was extremely professional and thorough throughout the entire process of my case. His experience and knowledge proved to be well worth the seemingly high price. I'm glad to have spent the money to have such a vital role, in my life changing event, filled by Mr. Stern and his team. Mr. Stern not only did his job talking with the DA and professionals in and out of court, but also, made sure to check in with me that I was doing well and reassuring me during various difficult and frustrating stages of the process.
If you are facing a rough road ahead of you, like I did, with criminal matters... do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Stern. Remember the high price comes with many years of experience, skill, and knowledge you're going to need for the BEST possible outcome in your case.

My life crumbled and fell apart at 22 when I was charged with strict liability statutory rape charges, for conduct that lacked any criminal intent. Desperate and hopeless, I was looking at decades in prison when I first met Zach, but he immediately assuaged much of my worries through his sharp analysis and strategizing in just the first consultation. My case was fairly complex, involving social media and communication logs, but Zach wasn't afraid of combing through it all to find any and all avenues of attack. Zach also went above and beyond in easing and dealing with my emotional turmoil, while never failing to be professional and honest with me about the potential outcomes of my case. And despite being charged in one of the worst counties to be prosecuted for a sex crime, Zach fought hard and was able to secure an outcome with only probation, allowing me the chance to plan my future and rebuild my life.
Zach is unquestionably one of the best lawyers around, and he is truly dedicated to helping people navigate and fight against a system that at times can feel labyrinthine, overwhelming, and unjust. He understands the financial, mental, and societal toll that criminal charges and convictions can bring, and he never fails in treating his clients with the utmost compassion and respect. His pricing was fair, and his services, expertise, and connections are *well* worth it. Due to financial difficulties, he even worked with me to organize a generous payment plan. If you are ever facing serious charges and need a pitbull to fight for your rights and freedom, it would be a mistake not to call Zachary Stern.

An incredible criminal defense attorney with everything you could ask for in one - honest, intelligent, hard-working, charismatic, and compassionate. I was in a hopeless and extremely difficult situation facing decades in prison on charges as worse as they get, and after consulting several other lawyers, I only grew more hopeless. In the first consultation, Zach immediately stood out like a beacon of light among the rest, strategizing and coming up with concrete plans of attack to beat my case. In the end, he was able to get me an amazing outcome without any prison. Zach knows his craft, and he will fight tooth and nail for your rights and your freedom, even in the most severe and complex of cases.

My former attorney retired and at his law office’s recommendation, I consulted and ultimately hired Chris Casebeer. If you’re looking for an attorney to kiss your rear, you won’t find that in him. Chris is brilliant. He’s an accomplished attorney whose reputation precedes him—he’s also a judge. Chris has the unique ability to approach every conversation and conflict with the multifaceted mind of a well-respected judge and top-notch attorney. Chris is bold and he is not afraid to push back and be aggressive when needed. Chris is blunt and will tell you how it is. If your demands of the other party are unrealistic or likely to be rejected, he will tell you. He doesn’t sugarcoat. Ultimately, Chris and his staff work for you. He will act as you wish and yet, I suggest you heed his advice as it’s backed with over 40 years of experience. Chris’ office is busy and it’s because he’s the best. I so appreciate the village model; if he’s unavailable, a competent and kind member of his team can talk to me or email me. I have experienced many difficult situations and feelings of self-doubt. Tamie and Kandi are wonderful to work with and so-very kind. With Casebeer, I know I’ve got the right person in my corner; peace of mind is invaluable to me.

Stephanie,
This lawyer was the only lawyer to make me feel like I could trust her, she was very real with me she told me how it was going to be. She didn't sugarcoat things and she helped me come up with a parenting plan that my daughter's father and I could agree with. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a great custody lawyer!

Stephanie was a great lawyer during a terrible and stressful time in my life. She was realistic and supportive in helping me understanding what the divorce process and custody agreement would look like. She always made the best effort to answer my questions and help me understand the legal process. She was honest with me about what I could expect to happen during the divorce process which made everything so much easier and more bearable.

Ronald Downs handled my car accident claim, that has gone on for nearly two years, and has handled everything exceptionally. He's walked me through all of the best possible ways and solutions to handle my case through and through, and has always been extremely professional with communication. Although as professional as he is, Ron can be very laid back, and is great at maintaining equal energy with his clients.
Ronald Downs is my first lawyer, and although the results of my case did not end well, he still stuck to his guns and did everything is his power to ensure that I got what I deserved, and because of that I was exceptionally satisfied with the outcome.
I highly recommend Ron for his commendable efforts and assurance that his clients will, guaranteed, get what they are owed. Though he may be my first lawyer, if I have another accident in the future (hopefully that will not happen), Ronald Downs will be the first lawyer I will call to represent me in my case.
Thank you for everything you've done for me, Ron, I appreciate it more than anything in the world.

I hired Ron to represent me in a Personal Injury Claim involving a Motor Vehicle Accident. He was there for me through the entire process from filing the tort claim to arbitration. His advice to "focus on healing" before focusing on the lawsuit was invaluable as it encouraged me to seek the treatment I needed. When the injury did finally resolve he was able to recover all of my medical costs and fair amount for non-economic damages.

My husband & I used Lori to take care of our adoption (which was an open adoption for our great niece). We we anxious to get the adoption done and Lori was compassionate to listen to our story, knowledgeable in rights of the family members, and was efficient in getting the adoption completed within two months! Lor is amazing and trustworthy. This review is so late, but we appreciated how simple she made this portion of our adoption !

We contacted Lori Jenkins for my husband to adopt my four children, all teenagers. She was very knowledgeable about any and all questions we had. She handled our case with care and efficiency. She is always patient, caring, and professional. The adoption went very smoothly and faster than we expected as the bio-father lives in another state. It helped that my ex willingly signed consent to the adoption but we feel it was Lori that made the process so smooth and easy for us. We would most definitely hire her again should we need a lawyer in a similar area of expertise. Thank you Lori!

My husband and I hired Lori initially to help us terminate my Ex’s legal rights to my son and allow my husband to adopt my son. It ended up being a long, brutal, custody battle with my ex who had resurfaced after being absent for years from my son’s life. Lori fought hard for us, prepared us every step of the way, took time to listen to us but also told us ways we could cut costs by handling certain things ourselves. She told us our options along the way and explained why she recommended one option over the other. She helped us see things realistically and at times helped to reel in emotions and keep things focused on our son vs my ex. With her help we were able to come to a sustainable agreement that kept our son safe. My ex was granted supervised visits that would graduate to unsupervised, then overnights, then short summer visits then eventually 3week summer visits. Lori told us this was the best solution to give him time to prove himself or enough rope to hang himself. It’s been over 5yrs since that arrangement was made and he has still never had an unsupervised visit and only maintained contact for about a year. Lori still touches base with us to see how we are doing. Our son turns 18 next year and Lori will be handling the adult adoption case for us so my husband can finally legally be named his dad. We can’t thank Lori enough for all of her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney you can trust with your children’s lives, look no further.

Stacy showed she actually cared about the outcome my custody case, she exceeded my expectations immensely by the way she handled everything and how she advised me to try for joint custody which I thought there was no way it would succeed, but I was wrong and because of Stacy my daughter is very happy and her mom and I have been coparenting peaceful, friendly and very well. I recommend Stacy Regele %100 for anybody needing help in custody case or any other matter I’m sure Stacy would show the same amazing work ethic and pure awesomeness. Thank you.

Stacy took a very stressful and certainly unfamiliar situation and explained every step in a comforting way. She was so kind and patient with me, helping me understand the processes. I could not have asked for a better person to represent me. She covered everything and even future issues I would not have known about. Seeing me in my broken state and treating me with respect and compassion the whole way through.
In the end, I walked away with everything I was asking for. Amazing result for a newly solo Father.
I have highly recommended her to so many people in the last few years (they have had the same experience and could not have felt more at ease)
that I should have earned a fast pass/discount for my next divorce.
Thank you for everything!
