Dave has worked my case for the past 4 plus years. He attended every appointment required, stayed in contact with me regarding everything that was needed of me and more importantly, he knew alot regarding my injuries and was able to discuss so much about them to me as if he was part of my medical team. I have already recommended him to someone but I will forever be grateful to him, experiencing one of the worse times of my life but having him made my journey alot easier. Thanks so much Dave and Cheryl. I appreciate you so much

I would highly recommend Steven Grocott to anyone looking to hire a divorce attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the law concerning divorce. He is very good about educating the client regarding all of the options to be considered and presents them in such a way that you can make the best decisions in regards to your own situation. He does all of this very professionally with compassion and the space to thoroughly think through your decisions. Divorce is not easy, but Steven walked me through the process feeling as though he always had my best interest at heart and I would walk away with a fair outcome which I did.

If you are looking for an attorney who puts 100% of his time and effort into your case look no further. Mr. Grocott was able to untangle one the most complicated custody cases in history that involved multiple jurisdictions in four different states. In addition to being trustworthy and knowledgeable he is compassionate, which is a rare quality for the legal profession these days. I highly recommend Mr. Grocott's services.

I have used James for criminal defense, personal injury, purchase of 3 houses and currently on a sale of a boat gone bad. He is always professional and gives you all your options. I have hired attorneys on a daily basis for work related cases for years. Jim is the only one of them I would ever use personally and have on numerous occasions. His wealth of knowledge in all areas makes him tops in his field. If your looking for results and someone who answers the phone every time you call, this is your man. Honestly could not say a bad thing about him or my experiences using him as my attorney.

Paul and his team went above and beyond for my wife and I in a recent real estate transaction and were committed 110% the entire time. They treated us like family and gave us help and advice far beyond what the industry standard required of them. They treated our home sale and new purchase as if it were their own and we could not be more grateful for all of their dedication and hard work. I will recommend this team to anybody I can in the future. Thank you all again for everything.

My attorney Stephen Underwood made my case a relatively smooth process. His law practice is quite far from the Courthouse. He still put in enormous footwork moving my case along until completion and to my very most satisfaction. He assisted me with a legal name change. I'm sure some have done this process on their own but for me, it's nice to know that your legal representative can aid their clients in such a way that is most professional, courteous, understanding, and more expeditious had I had to do this case alone. Thank you, thank you, and thank you Mr. Underwood.

Getting divorced isn't an easy to go through but Dan helped me every step of the way which made it a little easier. Dan is an excellent lawyer, he always had time to answer all my questions in a way that I could understand. He even gave me some great advice on a bankruptcy i was going through at the same time.I hope I never need another divorce attorney but if I did, I would use Dan again in a heartbeat.
Please don't hesitate to give Dan a call if you need a divorce or bankruptcy attorney.

Every one on staff including Mr. Bernhardi did an exceptional job for my case. I cannot thank all of you enough for bringing closure to my case in my favor. You were recommended to me & I in return will do the same for you too who are in need of a very good lawyer. I will review the links you sent me. If any problems I will call Lindsey for advice about my signing into SSA.gov.
Thank you again for all your assistance n bringing justice to my situation. I wish every one the very best in all you do andsucceeding with cases as you have done with mine.
Very best always -
