I am so happy to share that after 6 years of putting off a divorce, it is finally over with. Uncontested made the entire thing easier than doing your taxes. A few questions you have to fill out and then they take over. As with everything else that is sold online as a service, I originally thought this was fake, a gimmick or just a scam. We'll it definitely isn't. I paid for the premium service (documents, filing, final hearing and court fees), filled out all the documents and I was basically done. I did have a couple questions at start, they contacted me within 48 hours of me requesting help and took care of the worries I had. We did the notary portion within a couple days and we're done. They contacted me and let me know that the process was in the 60 day waiting period before it goes before a judge on June 26th, 2024. The human mind always wanders and I had worries and doubts. August 27th, 2024, I received an email congratulating me that the 60 days were over, no changes were made, and that it was time to put it through to a judge. I was picking up food today, September 4th, 2024, and while I was just browsing youtube, I got a notification of a VIP email. The divorce decree was completed and signed by the judge. I can honestly say that after 4 days shy of a 15 year marriage (the last 6 we've been separated, the last 4 we've lived 3700 miles away from each other), I am happier now than at any point of the marriage. THANK YOU UNCONTESTED.

A few weeks ago I was presented with a legal matter pertaining to my property. I reached out to the Spivey Valenciano firm and they assured me they would be able to help. My experience working Ms Soledad Valenciano was positive and truly made my whole situation run smooth and assured me that she would be taking her of everything. That peace of mind is invaluable.

He walked me through the whole process and talked to me about areas people could make mistakes when creating an LLC. He explained all the documents to me and how to proceed going forward.

From the moment I sought his counsel, it was evident that he was not just another attorney, but a fierce advocate for justice. He leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. We achieved a favorable resolution in our case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation.

A true mentor with an extensive understanding of Biblical teachings that always appear customized for you specifically. I have been reminded by Dr. Baez what a true Man of God says and does in daily life once again. To say that this man is a stellar lawyer truly does not do him justice.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
