These attorneys are simply amazing! Their advertisement let me know I was being sued by a collection agency. They are knowledgeable, smart, gifted at their skills. Also will back up what they say they can do. If you need results, and a spokesman who can and will deliver then Boevingloh & Pilakos is for you. I have them in my address book! Ha

I would highly recommend this law firm. I had a personal injury claim and I worked closely with Paul Schmitz. He was very professional and worked hard on my behalf. Even during COVID when there was a delay in court hearings he always communicated with me on my case. He was always responsive. I believe we received the best outcome based on my injury.

Let’s face it, no one ever really wants to need the services of an attorney. But, if you ever find yourself in such a situation, please do yourself a favor and meet with the attorneys at UGBB. I have worked with Dave Adam for the past four years.. His kindness was much appreciated and he was absolutely wonderful to work with . His blend of kindness, expertise, and “talking to” was just what I needed when I needed it the most! My family and I will continue to entrust UGBB with legal assistance to our family. Issues we have worked with UGBB on include representation in franchise contracts and relationships, employment issues, tax issues, and real estate leases come to mind . Dave grants us one stop shopping for legal services – and even helpful general business advice. Highly recommend UBB.

Thank You simply isn’t enough! I have my little girl and Mike made certain to protect my assets. This was a complete mess full of lies and in the end Mike made certain that the truth prevailed. Also pulled off a last second settlement leaving me more than grateful.

I've been a client of Mr. Malloy for several years and I would recommend him to everyone! The disability approval process is very complicated but him and his team are amazing! Because of my mental health, I sometimes worry about if I'm bothering him or asking too many questions, but he is professional, empathetic and knowledgeable. With him, I know that there's someone who cares about his clients and delivers the right advice! He and Drew Barker are reliable and people I trust 100%.

I have worked with Beth Boggs and her law firm for over 15 years, both as co-counsel and supervising/referring attorney. In my prior capacity as Senior Staff Counsel for a major insurance company, I had referred countless cases to Beth for handling. Beth has delivered outstanding results time and time again. As co-counsel, I have had the pleasure of working directly with Beth on various personal injury and high damage cases to achieve great results for our mutual clients. Beth's grasp of the law and issues, her advanced litigation and trial skills, and her experience in personal injury and insurance law, is unrivaled. Coupled with these exceptional attributes, Beth's tireless work ethic, accessibility, and dedication to her clients are all part of her recipe for success. I highly recommend Beth Boggs.

Christopher Johnson is amazing and Johnson Legal has helped me in so many ways. Could not give him and his Services enough praise.

It was my first time ever needing legal assistance. I was overwhelmed. Jill was the perfect attorney for my situation. I had a very complicated estate situation, and Jill took it on. It wasn't very easy or very pretty, but she got it done. Step by step she was very level-headed and gave solid council. I can not say enough good things about her. No question, Jill is the very best at what she does.

Jill at Harriman Law Firm LLC is one of the best attorneys in Saline County. She worked with me for over a year while going through a divorce that involved custody as well. Jill always worked in a timely manner and was always very honest about what to expect. She responded quick and worked diligently and was excellent at her job. I was very pleased and would absolutely hire her again for any legal needs. Her assistant was also extremely helpful and was always pleasant and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend her firm for any of your legal needs!

Rebecca is a great communicator, explained things well as we went along. Unfortunately, through no fault of hers, the case was continued multiple times. I paid only one up front retainer. When my son was going to step in to my place for me, he paid a small retainer up front. Ultimately, the case was withdrawn and Rebecca refunded his retainer. We both found her to be very warm, caring, and honest.

I hired Doug to help me with a rather sticky property transaction. I could have not asked for better representation! Even though he was doing his reserve time, he called me on his free time to get the case going. He has a wonderful paralegal "Lena" who also was very helpful and kind. No matter how many questions I had, she always was patient and nice. The two work very well together and in a timely matter. I was very very satisfied!

Very happy with Mr. Fredrick’s representation of us in a property line dispute case.

Negotiated a good deal for us quickly and in a cost-effective way leaving a good portion of our retainer unused. Highly recommend him!

I recommend Mr. Brian Klar because he treats all of his clients with compassion and love, and he is always working until the case is successful.

I have known Mr. Patton for close to 20 years, and he takes the time to understand my issue, proposes a course of action. He is usually available via text/email on the weekends. He has addressed and put issues I thought were a big deal down to size. He and his staff worked with me for the best solution, kept me in the loop, and then executed the plan. He is a really good lawyer. As recent as two weeks ago, Mr. Patton provided a solution to a real estate issue I had, and now that issue is resolved.

Leon and his team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and ethical beyond reproach. We experienced Leon and his team as honest, helpful and always on top of their game. We at no stage felt like a number or that they were only in it for their fees. Our interests were at all times put first.
Given Leon’s years of experience in his field he is very much in tune with the anxieties experienced by his clients during the immigration process and he never left us feeling insecure. Our enquiries were answered promptly and professionally. W can without reservation endorse this firm.

I highly recommend Leon Versfeld!
I hired Leon to apply for an EB1 green card as a specialist in my field. I had lots of anxiety about it being approved as it's one of the most difficult green cards to obtain, however it was approved in 7 weeks.
After becoming a permanent resident, my life and my business were never better and for 5 years I was counting the days to be able to apply for naturalization.
I hired Leon again to apply for Naturalization.
I am now a US Citizen! A lifelong dream!

Leon and his team have helped me with an L1 visa (as a one man business, I might add) and renewals of this visa since 2015, for a minor investment in processing and renewal fees, which over the entire period cost less than $100 000. My new renewed visa has just been issued and valid for another 2 years. So from 2015 till end of 2024 (total of 9 years), the investment is well worth it. Leon and his team are professional, thorough, and understanding. I highly recommend using them to navigate, what can otherwise be, a complicated process, where the correct guidance can be lacking from others. I am a fan of Leon and his team!

Dave took care of my expungement today. I contacted him 3 years ago when the situation took place. He told me everything I needed to do in order to make sure my expungement was successful. This was 3 years before I hired him! He wasn't even my attorney yet but took the time to make sure I was taken care of. He was always responsive, answer every question I had in detail. He was always on time and just very pleasant to talk to. If you need an attorney for anything Dave is the one for you to call you will not be disappointed. I am extremely satisfied with his service, if I ever need help with anything in the future he will be the one I will be calling.

I have been in several situations where I needed legal direction … another attorney pointed out that I wanted Phil Tatlow in my corner. That proved to be a winning selection.

I have had to call upon the services of Mr. Tatlow/Bollwerk & Tatlow twice within the last few years for work related injuries. In both instances, he and his company went to work immediately on my case and took care of every aspect of the case(s) in a straightforward and professional matter. In my first case, my employers' attorney fought against a settlement, but eventually Mr. Tatlow's skills at the negotiating table won out, and I received a much higher settlement than I expected! In the second case, there was a settlement on the table within 6 months. I highly recommend Phillip Tatlow, along with his sister, Rebecca Tatlow (a recent addition to Bollwerk & Tatlow), for anyone requiring an attorney to fight for you against the large insurance companies.
