Gerard represented me in a recent personal/business matter. Having never been inside of a court room before, I was anxious and not quite sure what to expect. He was very patient in answering all of my questions and was very upfront about the process from beginning to end. He has an awesome support staff that I found to be just as professional and courteous. I could tell right away that Gerard and his staff truly had my best interest at heart. Definitely would recommend. Thorough, dependable, tenacious and trustworthy.

Mr. Mantese accomplished exactly what we hired him to do.
Mr. Mantese was very thorough and not only prepared himself and his staff; but also prepared my husband and I what exactly to expect in Trial and Court. I would definitely recommend Mr. Mantese as he fought hard and won a very difficult case on our and our daughter's behalf. We have also received his support in another case to bring Justice to someone who cannot speak for themselves. Mr. Mantese and his whole staff are great!!!

I am a licensed attorney in Florida. I needed an attorney to handle a contested probate matter in Michigan. I came across Jonathan’s profile and based on an opinion I read on one of his cases I wanted a consult with him. From the moment I first spoke with him on the phone I knew I had the right attorney. Jonathan’s passion and knowledge of his area of law was evident from the start. The passing of a loved one is an extremely stressful and emotional time, having Jonathan on board to guide me through the inevitable legal matters was invaluable. The probate matter required significant briefing and trial work. Jonathan is an excellent legal writer as well as a trial lawyer. I personally observed Jonathan during trial and he was inspiring. He was well prepared and had a thorough knowledge of the rules of evidence. Jonathan is quick witted and has a keen legal instinct. His selected strategy for the case was successful and we won a significant victory. In addition to his legal skills, Jonathan is highly personable, down to earth and very responsive which was necessary for me when dealing with a remote legal relationship. I could rest knowing he was in charge. I highly recommend Jonathan Coleman. He is a top notch attorney at the top of his game and worth every penny.

From the very start of our case, (regarding an Estate) Jonathan was on top of things and two steps ahead in every turn of the situation. His knowledge and understanding of the case were impressive, as were his keen observations and proactivity. Jonathan is very intelligent, quick-witted, and misses nothing. Jonathon also has a healthy dose of tenacity, (which we needed in our case) he was prompt, incredibly prepared, and fought hard to win our case. (and we did!) He assissted us every step of the way. Never once did he lose sight of us, and his communication was outstanding. What really struck us as remarkable, was that Jonathan was so personable, as were all of the staff of whom he counts on. His personality was always that of a gentleman, and he was always courteous and respectful, and returned all calls and addressed our concerns immediately. To us, this is no small thing when dealing with a stressful situation regarding an Estate. We are thankful that we had such an Attorney that was willing to go the extra mile for us, and we'd highly reccommend Jonathan M. Coleman and his team to anyone who needs help and expects excellence. -Mrs. L.LeMieux-Clemens

As a nurse case manager, I have the unique opportunity to work with multiple attorneys in the field of auto injury. I can honestly say Dodd goes above and beyond for his clients. He considers the unique individual needs of each of his clients and personally knows an abundance of providers, making him able to match each client with the perfect caregiver. Dodd is a rare attorney in that he actually cares for his clients and, because of this, brings about the best possible outcome, exceeding expectations.

My experience with Dodd Fisher was amazing he came highly recommended from a co-worker. Dodd was prompt,informative,honest & a GOD FEARING Attorney with morals and principles. He was upfront never sugar coated anything he kept it real the entire time and for this I was appreciative and thankful. When injured you can respect a person's honesty knowing that their fighting for you and not working or making side deals behind your back this made me feel at ease.

In 2010 I was in an accident in a store that is owned by a large corporation. . Before my wife and I were able to leave for the ER at the Hospital the Management at the store insisted that I fill out their injury forms.
They offered to call an ambulance, but I was taken to the Emergency Room by my wife instead of waiting longer for an ambulance.
The accident caused new injury to my cervical area and reinjured a previous Cervical Fusion that I had in 2001.
The ER took X-rays and said to see my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon within three days. I made an appointment with my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon, He sent me for an MRI and other tests. It was determined that surgery would be necessary to repair the new injury and the additional new injury to the previous cervical fusion.
During this time I received a letter from the corporation which denied any responsibility for my injury and told me to use my personal insurance to pay for any injuries I felt I may have had.
My wife and I decided it was time to retain an attorney.
My wife’s UAW Legal Services recommended an attorney by the name of Jeffery S. Cook. We called Jeff to discuss my accident. I wasn’t feeling well enough to ride in the car so Jeff actually came to our house to discuss my situation. We were impressed with Jeff instantly, he felt we had a case but with big corporations nothing was guaranteed. We instantly believed in him and retained his services.
Jeff did a stellar job; his knowledge, attention to detail, dependability and caring nature keep us aware of any and all progress. He was honest with us when it came to reality checks which we appreciated. He even honestly kept us aware of times when there was lack of progress.
I did have another surgery which involved Cervical Fusion which proved all of my Orthopedic Spinal Surgeon’s diagnosis.
After several months Jeff was able to work out a settlement that was agreeable to me and the Corporate Lawyers that represented the store. We had settlement and we would retain Jeff again if we need another attorney. As a matter of fact we did use him again at a later date.

Brandon assisted me with a tenant landlord situation. He was very helpful and kind and provided direct feedback. Fortunately we were able to avoid a court case but I would have used Brandon for this service had it escalated to that point. Should I have further landlord/tenant issues I would not hesitate to call Brandon again.

Responsive...my 1st impression that held true throughout the legal process, from the initial call for a consultation up until finalizing the case.
Veteran...Laura's breadth of knowledge is supported by a significant amount of resources are the truest indication that she is truly a seasoned professional who caries a great amount of respect from her colleagues (and former clients).
Reputable...Once hired, Laura will have your best interest in mind. Hiring a lawyer is difficult and you could never be sure if the choice that you made is the correct one. Laura will alleviate those concerns immediately. She is fair, honest and extremely thorough.
References...I will continue to use Laura as a resource and will give out her name as a "must call 1st" to anyone looking for sound legal guidance.

Kristyn helped me with a matter several years ago and was excellent. She knows the law inside and out and clearly has a lot of respect from other lawyers and judges. On top of that, since then, over the years I’ve had to consult her on other issues and she continually does a great job. I’ve referred her services to many others and would do so again without reservation!

I found Barbara after working with a divorce lawyer for about 3 months. She did more in 1 day than the previous lawyer had did in 3 months. She is absolutely awesome. She is your voice and when going through a difficult time such as divorce, it is nice to have someone being the voice of reason. Barbara is very thorough and most certainly pursues what is is in the best interest of her clients. I was very fortunate that my brother had referred her to me. I can't say enough good things about my experience and am very grateful that I had selected Barbara to represent me in this trying time.

If you are looking for a lawyer for immigration needs, I suggest this experienced professional lawyer. We had consulted a different lawyer previously and he was not nearly as knowledgeable or clear about our specific case. We hired Taylor for immigration proceedings towards a green card for my wife and for green card renewnal consultations. Taylor was very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about our specific case as well as how to approach it. We asked her to come with us to the initial interview but everything went off without issues. I highly recommend Taylor. We returned with our children for green card extension consultation and she was extremely patient with our kids. Her office is equipped with toys to keep them occupied, so families need not hesitate to contact her.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Dadich over the last year.
He saved my IRA from being taxed up to 70% and will
allow my assets to go where I want them to on my own terms
when I pass on.
His IRA B.R.A.T. system is very unique and the 3 other attorney's
I spoke with just wanted to place my IRA into a traditional Trust.
Mr. Dadich explained the differences with his IRA Trust and
how the tradtional trust does not accomplish my goals.
I would highly recommend him to every family that has an estate plan
or needs to update their plan.
