Suzana did an amazing job dealing with my overbearing ex-husband who is an executive at a major lumber company and is accustomed to being in charge. He and his lawyer put non stop pressure on me to settle the case without a trial. Suzana encourgaed me to keep fighting for the support I was entitled to and after a full day in court we walked with nearly double what they offered and what my ex assured me numerous times was "much more than I would get in court." Throughout the process she was confident and encouraging and just all around wonderful. Thank you Suzana.

I highly recommend Ms. Malek. She guided me through a spousal support case and did so efficiently and competently. She was rather direct with me about my options and the likely outcome. I appreciated her candor and her ability to quickly resolve the issues.

Mr. welcomed me into his office and spent almost an hour learning about my problem. An honest man. Although he could not represent me he gave me resources that helped me pursue my goal.

Jeremy Featherstone and his family law practice can be summed up in a single word: HERO.
The machine process of law can be a very slow and drawn out agony (unfortunately most reading this are nodding their head). So I want to offer you some hope.
Prior to hiring Jeremy, I had another attorney. Sadly they were simply not getting it done and then someone recommended that I talk to Jeremy Featherstone.
What could have stretched out for ANOTHER year or more in choosing to hire new council, Mr. Featherstone wrapped up my in 6 months!
I might have paid for a lawyer but what I got was a friend who cared about me and my case.
He kept me out of jail; gave me my life back; even got me to-and-from airport to make sure I was in court on time. THAT IS DELIVERING ON A PROMISE. Thank you Jeremy.

Going through a divorce is hard enough. Going into mediation, I was completely nervous. Fonda was as nice as can be, did her job professionally, didn't let emotions get in the way of anything, and explained anything that was asked.

I've had the pleasure of working with Scott off and on for many years, he's an excellent and meticulous attorney and someone I feel is good at explaining legal material in understandable terms. Additionally I am a 38yr IT professional / network security officer and I feel he has uniquely skillful grasp of how law interacts with and is applied to new technologies.

Wendy was excellent. I wouldn't have prevailed without her. There is still another issue on my journey in dealing with the discrimination against by my employer that I am attempting to resolve on my own. If I am unsuccessful in my attempt to resolve this on my own then I intend to re-hire Wendy for her further assistance. Her office is extremely busy, so patience with her schedule is necessary, but well worth the time.

Ms. Earle has demonstrated her excellent skills both inside and out of the courtroom. Her communication skills have been excellent. She answers every question, and remarkably, often states the exact code or statute applicable in support of her answer. She is absolutely focused on the tasks at hand. As a type A personality myself, I can assure you of the thorough, exacting, accurate, error-free, complete, and timely work products she provides. At the same time, while she is very personable, there is no "wasting" of time to "pad" the billing and charge more in fees. I have never felt any of the fees charged have been unreasonable or exaggerated in any way. Before hiring Ms. Earle, and with an awareness she has a litigation practice, we questioned Ms. Earle about her experience. We were amazed at the amount and variety of cases as well as the levels of courts she has had very successful experiences with. Wendy replaced an attorney who did incredible damage to our interests. I didn't realize the true extent of the damage until hiring a thoroughly competent attorney, Wendy Earle. Our unfortunate situation would have been entirely different had Ms. Earle handled the issues in the first place. Lesson well learned but at a severe cost both financially and emotionally as the other attorney was well paid for her incompetence. It is without any hesitation or reservation that we absolutely recommend the hiring of Wendy Earle, Esquire to handle your needs.

Wendy,
Was professional and thorough in advising me on legal matters. She helped me understand the law based on the context of my unique situation and offered multiple legal perspectives where I could then come to my own decision. She also provided empathy and understood that legal matters are messy and that sometimes clients just need to be listened to. She answered all my questions and returned phone calls in a timeline manner. I hired her smaller office because I like professionals that provide individualized attention to complex matters instead of outsourcing staff to do their work for them. I was pleased with the case outcome, so much so that I would hire this attorney again.

I can't speak to the law skills of this firm, but the woman who answers the phones should take a sabbatical. I called about a situation involving my father's death and property he owned (trying to transfer ownership) and she wouldn't even let me speak before interrupting and telling me what I had to do. While she might have been right with her advice for one situation, she literally wouldn't let me speak about other things I wanted to ask about and she continually interrupted me (even after I said "hey, you keep interrupting me and I'd really like to explain a few other things" and then she interrupted again and would not let me speak!) Pretty horrible and rude experience on the phone to the point that I simply hung up because she would not let me speak. Super unprofessional experience and not someone you want answering your phones for first time clients. I had multiple things I wanted to ask about and would have brought business to this firm, instead I hung up feeling like the world is a crazy place and the woman here is obviously in great need of a long vacation and some meditation. To the woman on the phone: I truly wish you peace in your life. You are not well. Seek help.

Rude and unhelpful, wouldn’t call them back if they were the last place in town. I called to see if they could help and before I’m even done asking my question she interrupted me to tell me to “go with another lawyer (that I’m working with on an unrelated issue) because that’s who I need to work with and why am I not contacting them” I didn’t contact them for a reason but apparently you aren’t interested in my business.

If you have Todd Reed you are in good hands! I had a very complicated divorce in 2009. He was very tough on my ex. Brought out all of his lies, narcissistic and abusive ways!! Todd is very wise and knowledgeable! Handles things in an expert way. He stuck up for me the whole way through. Easy to talk too. Because of Todd and his expert ways, the judge awarded me full custody of my kids!

I was going through a pretty bad divorce. I hired Todd Reed. I should have hired a rock. He literally laid down and gave her what she wanted, lying to me and telling me that she won’t take my kids. And he literally handed then to her. I honestly don’t know who’s side he was on. I was paying him. It should have been mine. My ex wife was the biggest mistake I ever made. Todd Reed was the 2nd.

Louis Marshall is as corrupt as they come. They ignore video evidence and witness testimony, while stonewalling public records requests. This office is a classic "Old Boy Network" who protect their friends, while rejecting justice.
