This attorney went above and beyond to help guide me in the direction of seeking my backlog of UIA benefits in Michigan. It has been less than 24 hrs. Since speaking with him and with the matter of short conversation and email, I’ve already accomplished so much. His consultation is free and he keeps it 100% honest with you right or wrong. Thank You Sir and I look forward to working with you further.

Todd was great helping me with a civil issue that I had. He goes the extra mile. If you have a personal injury case or any other type of legal matter, he's a great choice.

My husband and I have used Mark for advice on an employment-related issue. We were impressed with his extensive knowledge in this area and we would not hesitate to use him again. He did not hesitate to provide us with his honest opinions of the merits of our claims and we never felt that we were "left in the dark" or that he did not understand our concerns. I highly recommend him for both non-compete agreement and other intellectual property issues.

I hired Mas/Stig-Nielsen for a criminal case and it was very evident from my first conversation with Fred that I made the correct choice. Fred and Betsy both engaged in the details of the case, were clearly knowledgeable on the charge and went to great lengths to research precedent cases. Needless to say, all of this ended in a very favorable outcome for me. Their preparation, diligence, and attention to detail were what achieved that. I could not be happier with their services.
Beyond the law aspects, the quote on their website says something about them better than I could say: “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.”
Fred and Betsy treated me as a human being who was in a tough spot, had a tough case against me, and probably did not make all the correct decisions in the incident. I was treated with dignity, and when you are in these spots, that can mean all the difference in how you respond to your plight and get through it.
Fred and Betsy, thank you again!

I can’t say enough great things about Betsy. I was 2 DUI's down and 10 years without a drivers license. She was accessible, thorough and prepared at a really great price. Things were pretty much a breeze at the hearing due to her preparation. Only regret I have is not finding her sooner. She is one of the nicest and most genuine people my wife and I have had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you so much Betsy.

Where do I start? When I contacted Ryann, I called him to take my case against a former employer, this was due to a work injury and Worker’s Compensation dispute. Since day one, Ryann was always, kind, and understanding to my situation. He was very clear, and informative and kept me up-to-date on my case, and how it was progressing. Throughout my case just like any other case, I’m sure there was a lot of ups and downs, but no matter how hard the case got Ryann never gave up on fighting to make sure I won my case. I can gladly say that after 2.5 years of fighting tooth and nail with the defense attorney, Ryann WON my case. If anyone knew how hard this case was, you would understand that this WIN was not easy at all. I can’t express enough, to how good of a job Ryann did and how much a FIGHTER Ryann is!! So DO NOT make a mistake by going somewhere else, contact Ryann to HELP YOU!! you won’t regret it!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RYANN!!

We will be using Ryann for any of our legal needs in the future and will be referring him to all of our family and friends. If you are looking for a good attorney, I would highly recommend Ryann.

Ed is a common sense business lawyer with impeccably good judgment. Based on my experience with him, any person buying or selling a home should consult with Ed prior to listing or signing on with an agent. I sold my home with a fantastic listing agent, but the experience was still extremely stressful and I felt a listing agent was necessary because I was unfamiliar with the transaction. As nice as my agent was there was always the uneasiness of knowing his interests were not always in line with mine -- it's just the nature of the beast. When it came time for me to buy a new home I spoke with Ed first. I learned from Ed that working through an agent was not always necessary and that engaging a homeowner about selling prior to listing with the help of a lawyer like Ed is the most prudent homebuying strategy. Ed and the title company he works with were able to handle all the technical/legal aspects of the deal and answered all the questions that I would have ordinarily directed to my agent. The eventual deal I made was better for both the buyers and sellers; it was a win-win deal because neither party had to endure the work and stress of the open market, and the ultimate sale price netted the seller more money and had us paying less. By paying a flat fee Ed's duties as a lawyer were owed entirely to me and were not influenced by other factors. Also, Ed's expertise goes way beyond for-sale-by-owner transactions. Anyone doing real property or commercial transactions should consider retaining Ed and give him a call.

In 2019 I sold an investment property to my long time tenant. While I had a built in buyer, it was still a very complicated situation for a variety of reasons. Ed negotiated the sale and handled everything for me, and he made a difficult situation much, much better. He handled everything remotely, including signatures -- we never had to meet in the office -- he was extremely responsive and reassuring the whole way -- and most importantly, I saved thousands of dollars by not using a realtor. I continue to work with Ed whenever I need an attorney -- I would highly recommend him.

My husband and I sold our house "by owner" and it could not have been an easier process! Everything was done virtually and we saved thousands of dollars by not having a realtor. All paperwork was signed electronically so we did not have to take time off work. Everyone was very responsive to our questions and helped us understand the process. I can't say enough good things! -Brittany Schrock

Kristyn is an absolute rock star!!!!! She handled my divorce as well as a child/family matter. My divorce was tricky as there was a child involved that was not my child and Michigan state law says I would be held accountable as the father. In my divorce hearing the judge complemented her on how well she structured my case and explained that any other way of doing it likely would have been denied. In my family situation, she was so well prepared; I was truly impressed. My file was three times as thick as the other side of the isle, and before the hearing she was rehearsing her opening statements. This made me feel like I was in the hands of a true professional and someone who cares. After getting to know her a little bit through all of this, I can whole heartedly tell you that she does care and will stand up for you in the most honorable way! She gets my 5-star vote, and undoubtedly if a situation arises that I need her expertise in the future I will be calling her!

There are a lot of lawyer database websites out there, but when I heard that a lot of them just scrap public directories and don't necessarily have a credible or up-to-date information source, I researched and was glad to find out that Zeekbeek was the only legal marketplace that allows me to find a lawyer near me that's partnered exclusively with the state bar association. This site not only gives me good information about each lawyer, but it also allows me to communicate directly and even view their availability to schedule an appointment right online. Awesome feature and saves me a ton of time!

She has been a delight to work and consult with. She is more than fair, knows her stuff, and is very sympathetic and understanding. I have spoken with many attorneys over the years and she has made me feel the most comfortable in the quickest amount of time, and you know it's actually genuine. I also love how quick she responds to emails and how she backs everything up with sources. I highly recommend her for consultations, reviews, and full representation. Godspeed!

My husband and I have been through hell with the family court system regarding support, custody, and a biological mother that just wants to exploit the system her children and my husband for financial gain. Just like everyone else's reviews Michelle responded in less than 24 hrs. She was kind sincere and most importantly HONEST. Her prices were accurate on her website and her knowledge of the law exemplary. She not only volunteered information freely, she helped me come up with ways to cut costs by doing the paperwork myself while guiding me through it. She is integrity and grace personified and when our other lawyer had abandoned us and ignored us, she became our guardian angel. She never made any dishonest guarantees and was forthright the entire way through and has also helped us manage expectations while giving us the tools we need to fight the Family Court. She works TIRELESSLY, literally around the clock. I am still amazed such an incredible person exists and grateful she was there for us.

Thank you Michelle for spending your time in responding back to my concerns about my situation and thanks to you, I am in a better situation.

We worked with Morgan Shier on a complex international adoption case, and the expertise and guidance she provided allowed us to seek the exact solution we wanted. Our case was difficult as it involved a delicate navigation of US citizenship requirements, international adoption criteria, and Jamaican and US family-law knowledge. She provided quick and expert opinion that allowed us to take care of a child in need as soon as feasibly possible. Morgan is awesome, and we highly recommend her and the Eric Phelps law firm for your adoption/family law needs.
