I hired Adele several months back for a hit and run case( not as bad as it sounds, that was just what the charge was) and she was able to get the charges dismissed. I only regret not posting a review for her when the job was done. But as I now need help from her again, I want to post before I even make the call to ask her to represent me a 2nd time, because she well deserves it and i am very confident she will get me a the best outcome possible a 2nd time around. She was, and am sure will be again, very professional but also very friendly and easy to talk with. She laid out the wors it could be but delivered the best. I would tell your friends, your family, your family's friends and anyone in-between, that if they need legal help, Adele is where it's at. Thank you so much Adele

Candi is an exceptionally compassionate and intelligent individual. Ms. Pardee had never met me or even spoke with me on the phone prior to me asking for her legal counsel. After explaining my situation Ms. Pardee was willing to help me in my financial struggle by offering assistance for me to purchase a certain pair shoes for my new job. The type of humanity that she displayed that day was nothing short of a extraordinary. I kindly declined her offer of generosity due to my pride. I value her professionalism, kindness, honesty and humor. She knows her profession like she wrote it. A truly remarkable human being.

After being dropped by another attorney 45 days before trial and out over a hundred thousand dollars, I couldn't find another attorney to take my child custody case. That is until I met Sandra. When Sandra takes on a case, she gives it her all! Sandra does not shy away from a case where she feels there has been an injustice. She works incredibly hard , has a tremendous amount of compassion for the people she represents and takes pride in her core values. Sandra is tenacious and a person of integrity. she stuck with me for my 3 year battle. Sandra not only won my child custody battle, but she also won the biggest settlement in Gwinnett Co since 18 years prior. Sandra was up against the "good ol' boys club" who had 3 times more experience than she did and won!!. So, don't be fooled by the "time on the job" sort of speak... You have to have passion,determination, integrity & zeal. Sandra has all that and more!

When I was in an automobile accident, I was confused, hurt, and felt alone like I had no where to turn. A friend of mine recommended Sandra to represent me. I had a consultation with her and knew right from the beginning that the right choice was made from the start. Sandra is very professional and dedicated from the get go, she works tirelessly on a case not leaving a stone uncovered. She keeps you informed on everything she has done and everything she is doing and planning on doing. She was always there for me no matter how busy she was would always take my phone call and answer any questions that I had. She is very professional inside the courtroom, stands by your side constantly. I am proud to have had her as my attorney to represent me. She definitely goes the extra mile for her clients. If I ever need an attorney again, I know exactly who to call.

Being self-employed in a highly litigious field, having an attorney available at all times is a must.
I met Mr. Baroumes through my work and approached him for some simple legal advice. He was quick to respond with clear, concise and well thought out answers that a layman could understand.
I also used Mr. Baroumes to write my will. He made it clear, simple and spent time with me so I understood what I was getting.
He has excellent people skills and was kind and patient with me.
His rates were fair for the level of responsibility a lawyer assumes providing legal advice. I trust him and would use him any time the necessity arrived.

Since hiring Mrs. Whitney my custody battle has completely turned around. I was being told I was unable to see or even speak to my child, to having 50/50 everything. She always answered my emails within 3 days and forwarded me emails from the other side that same day. Never once did I fell like she was doing this for a paycheck, but because she truly cared for me and what was best for my child. I would recommend her to anyone (especially fathers) going through a custody battle.

5 thumbs up!! Joy Kemp was my daughter's court appointed lawyer (Guardian ad Litem) in a private termination of paternal rights trial. She went beyond the call of duty to protect my daughter's best interests. She came to trial well-prepared. I was particularly impressed by the questions she posed to the witnesses, which exposed both the truth and the lies.
My daughter really liked her. She believes that she had the "best lawyer."

He was direct, gave me my options, acted on the one I chose and got the results I wanted. Teri and Carissa were extremely helpful and responsive to any problems I encountered during the court process. If I require legal representation in the future, I'll know where to go. If you want results, he's the attorney you should hire. I have no regrets.

I recently went through a divorce. During this divorce I was willing to concede on all matters except one. About a month into it my wife and I were looking to have a consent decree drawn up. He told us that we couldn't do that. After completely draining the savings accounts he drew up the paperwork that we had asked for 7 months earlier and $15000.
This guy doesn't care about your family no matter how much he says that he does. His wife Terri is unprofessional, rude and just a disgusting person.
He also likes to point out his military credentials but failed to recognize the new laws that pertain to military retirement for spouses. Once my lawyer called him out on it, he suggested one of his buddies to us for the calculations of the allotment.
Be cautious and expect erroneous billing if there are any funds remaining in the retainer.

When my ex-wife and I divorced we decided to split everything 50/50, time with our children and also all their bills. After five years of this working fine, she took me to court to try and relocate to another state where her new husband was from. If that was denied, she wanted primary custody and also a few other things, lawyer fees etc. I talked with Mike about the case and decided to go with him. I had read a couple of reviews, some good and some not so good. Mike was definitely more expensive than the other attorneys I had looked into. My ex had Bays as her attorney. I was extremely nervous for our big day in court, not to mention Bays has some great reviews. We had our day and Mike did an amazing job. At no point during our day in court did I question what I had paid him. It was a great feeling to know that he was on my team. I walked out after a full day in court smiling ear to ear. There was no real change to our parenting time and I still get to be with my daughters half the time.
I can't say enough good things about not only Mike but also his staff, Carissa and Teri. All of them are very professional. They always kept me well-informed and updated me right away on any changes. There was no comparing the two attorneys that day in court. They where clearly on different playing fields.
Thanks for everything Mike, Carissa, and Teri!

Failed to do the most BASIC and vital requirement for an attorney to do and cost me FOUR YEARS of time and wasted money for this. WHAT attorney does not do a certificate of service for court documents to prove it was served on the other party timely??? THEN when put to the task of proving to the court, right before trial, he provides a half a** buisness record BUT NO signed affidavit from the person who mailed and filed the court papers to prove it was delivered timely. Having my perfectly good claim barred after FOUR YEARS of work on it only to be dismissed for his failure. This was apparently not the ONLY time he did this in my case which allowed the Judge to not accept his credibility alone with just a business record as proof and no affidavit.
Not organized at all, failed to notify when canceling appointments, did not communicate about conference hearings scheduled or what issue it was regarding, kept having to resubmit documents, constantly a month or more late for scheduled due dates the court set for discovery, minimal work done at last minute, failed to disclose Expert Witness and provide a copy of the report to opposing AT ALL!! There is just too much to tell that I didnt know about because he failed to say anything to me which I had to find out about in opposings response they filed which I had to practically hound his office staff to send to me. Thats another thing, my new attorney that HE recommended to me had to call for my case file repeatedly and NEVER got a complete copy sent to this day, is riduculous. Sloppy and unprofessional work and pray he never does it again to anyone else specially when it is so emotionally charged because it involves a deceased loved one.
His response to the judges decision.....Thats disappointing to hear.
No YOU are disappointing Mr. Melo, the decision was tragic because it should have been an easy case for me to have justice against a thief but your sloppy work caused me to suffer more and a fraud to get away with it.
I say a fraud because later, the opposing party went on to admit in another court case that they lied about my claim never being mailed to them timely and that they did receive it but never opened it and blamed their attorney for not telling them to open it and read it.
No justice. Find another attorney people.

I hired Nathan for a simple real estate matter, he sent two letters (one to the wrong address). Advised me to tear up a check, and now I am out the reimbursement and his lawyers fee for the two letters(hundreds of dollars). The office did not keep me informed, and I have called several times with no response. Now I'm out the cost plus lawyers fees. He recently sent a letter stating the matter was closed. Save your money and go with another lawyer, ANY other lawyer would be better, throw a rock.

After reading the negative review on this site, I was apprehensive about Mark. He was assigned to defend me. My experience was positive. Mark got a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor and my fine reduced by 75%. All in all he probably saved me about $9,000.00. After we finished in court I showed Mark the review I had read when researching my court assigned lawyer. Mark noticed that the author claimed to have hired Mark. Mark told me, he is not for hire, hasn't been for years. He provides defense at to cost through the court.

this lawyer has forgotten to listen to his clients and talk to them in a respectful and painless manner. It is already a burden going thru the court process. I think he needs to go back in time and remember that we are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around.

Laura Cardinal and her team are always available if you have questions. They file paperwork quickly and make sure you have copies of everything. I like how I am kept in the loop. The atmosphere in their office is very welcoming. She understands the law. I would highly recommend her if you require a great Family Law Attorney.

Laura was basically a very expensive paper pusher.
She was late to meetings and court. I traveled 1300 miles to go to court and for the Judge to say he only had 1 1/2 a half to attempt the mediation. I told Laura that I was feeling rushed and uncomfortable. She agreed but basically shrugged her shoulders and did nothing. She barely spent 2 hours with me on that trip. During my time with the judge Laura was unprepared. Communication was sporadic. She never fought for me. She would talk a big strategy to me in conversation but she didn't execute. I wanted someone to protect and fight for me. That didn't happen. I ended up letting her go and using my husbands attorney. Unfortunately this was after spending close to 10k. I would not recommend her practice.

I hired Anne to do some estate planning for my parents. The advice she gave them was totally opposite from everything I had been told by other attorneys while doing my own estate planning. I asked her to clarify some thing and she became flippant and condescending. My parents didn't want to go through another consultation so we ended up using her. I was extremely dissatisfied with the end product and would absolutely never use her again.
On a side note, when we first showed up for the appointment, I honestly thought she was the cleaning lady for the office. It's hard to trust someone with all of your legal needs when they look like they couldn't be bothered to even change out of their at home lounge around clothes for work.

Not prepared to represent in routine custody case. Ann met with judge and apposing counsel in initial closed door session BEFORE case and agreed to all of the terms we'd spent months preparing to address. Outcome could have been what was in best interest of kids if only she'd let me know up front that she just didn't have the ability to prepare for and represent basic custody case.
