He listened to my legal questions about a family matter and patiently explained my options and answered my follow-up questions. He was also very clear about his areas of expertise and which matters he would recommend other attorneys for. Overall, it felt like he was trying to be genuinely helpful which I certainly appreciate.

Delmar Flynn Attorney and Sharon Moten Paralegal are fabulous. They have helped us through a very stressful time. They were professional in all they did. They explained to us everything that was going to happen, and what to expect. They worked with us to accomplish exactly what we hired them for. They added a personal touch while staying extremely professional! We would recommend the law firm of Fiddler Osborn Flynn LLC highly!!!

Mike was very quick to answer all emails. He explained everything for our estate planning in a way we could understand. He was patient with us as we made decisions about our final wishes, which can be difficult.

Chris handled a case of mine over a year ago, and throughout the year, some things came up that Chris really had no responsibility to address as he had successfully done his job with a fantastic sentencing outcome but he always took the time to follow up with me. I've had another criminal attorney who was supposed to ranked very highly and the fact is after the case was over, I couldn't get a word out of him unless it involved paying more. Chris is a stand up attorney, remembered the facts of my case for an entire year and when he was able to help, he did so, and as a secondary outcome, we applied for and got an early dismissal from probation and on my record a year after. Chris is by far the best attorney I have worked with and I highly recommend him. When I am able to get my case expunged in two years, Chris will be my immediate go-to.

If you need an attorney in a serious situation, I wouldn't go with anyone else but Bruce Ringstrom Jr. He stood in my corner and helped guide me through a terrible situation. If you are looking for a strong leader to stand with you through the legal process this is who you want. He will not let anyone overstep their bounds when it comes to your rights. Always professional. Always answered or returned my calls. Always kept his word and upfront about the cost. Worth every penny!!

My husband and I put off our estate planning for a long time. We didn't know how to find someone we could trust. Thankfully, some friends of ours told us about their experience working with TJ. They felt he was an excellent attorney and had handled their affairs well. We wholeheartedly agree with their assessment!
TJ was very responsive. We initially contacted him through his website and he responded to our inquiry within hours. My husband is a pilot, and it can be difficult to schedule meetings with him. TJ worked within our time constraints and quickly rearranged when needed.
Once we were in our face to face meeting, TJ, and his assistant, Gretchen, listened well, explained thoroughly, and never made us feel inadequate or judged by some of the "off the beaten track" requests we had.
Talking about death and planning your estate can be stressful, but TJ and his staff made it easy. If you are looking for a kind, very knowledgable, no pressure attorney, my husband and I highly recommend contacting and working with Timothy J. Scott.

Joe is amazing! He’s patient and understands the laws extremely well. For my case, it took almost a year and a half to go to trial, almost a day and a half in court proceedings, almost an hour and a half of deliberations (including a one hour lunch break) for them to find me “NOT GUILTY”.

Kerry Anne had a clear and definite plan during a brief consult two months ago. You can hear on the phone that has a logical train of thought and uses clear English and projects her voice well.
This involved family court OFP. I think she would work very fast and determined with respect to her work and practice in family law.
Although, she was hesitant when I mentioned include extra assistance in the form of a private investigator (Behavioral Intelligence Agent) she did concede that she would be open to consulting at her hourly rate as an intermediary advisor outside of court.
*Please shop wisely and use lawyers who are willing to work with a full team of experts.

Lora is an incredible lawyer. She represented me through a very emotional case and did so with grace, educating me and informing me on what was happening every step of the way.

I just have a question about the 1 Star review posted here 8 months ago. I seems like there's a lot of responses from the owner at that time. So I'm wondering about the response to the 1 Star review. it's written "new phone who dis?" that seems so odd to me. but there's completely coherent reviews before and after this one bad review. can someone explain this to me? It's appears very disrespectful, but really I can't believe that it's an authentic response.

Just wrapped up our Living Trust today with Guttman Law and associates and feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Matt asked all the pertinent questions and put together an exceptionally thorough Living Trust for my wife and myself with absolutely no ambiguities. We rest very comfortably now, knowing we've made this necessary "part of life" so much easier for our Trustee(s) to manage. We heartily recommend Matt Guttman for his guidance and unquestioned expertise, delivered in an easy-going and unrushed manner. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.

Lee was very helpful to our family. This is the first time we have dealt with the loss of a loved one.
She told us the steps that we needed to take and answered all our questions, no matter how small they were.
She was very knowledgeable with our confusing situation and helped us figure out how to settle the estate.
I would recommend Lee to all my family and friends.

I cannot overstate how painless and well-explained the Geffres made the process of setting up a will and trust. They were, and still are, prompt (and often immediate) in responding to our questions and needs via phone or email and everything was explained well and as much as needed for us to understand the process and ramifications of our decisions. They provided us written, plain-language guidance on how to move assets into the trust, which we've used repeatedly as we complete the process. Every document was provided in multiple media formats and exists as several copies, which shows the attention to detail and long-term thinking of the firm.
We feel complete peace of mind knowing that if the worst were to happen to us, our beneficiaries would be in good hands and wouldn't have to deal with any extra hurdles in a difficult time. 10/10 recommend.

I hired Josh after my first DWI. He was very considerate, professional, helpful, and just made me feel at ease with the whole process. Ultimately due to some personal circumstances i wasn’t able to finish the case with Josh. But in the future, if i am ever in legal trouble or really any kind of trouble i would/will feel very confident in calling Josh back. He had my back from the beginning and still does! He is an excellent attorney and I think that everyone should get on board with London Defense!

The journey was slow and painful dealing with the legal process, but reflecting on how things turned out, I am grateful for Josh and his associates and how they helped my family through a legal crisis. I think if a public defender was used instead we wouldn’t be where we are today. Although things aren’t always perfect, getting your life back, after being wrongfully accused is priceless. His team got the charges dropped.

I can only begin with Josh is an amazing attorney. I recently found myself in need of serious representation and came across London Defense and I am sure glad I did!
From that first phone call Josh accepted my case and assured me that he would handle everything from that point forward. From handling court appearances and filing motions all while keeping excellent communication with me every step of the way.
At one point during my whole ordeal I even considered accepting the prosecutions deal and he told me to stay the course and fight for a win. We ultimately ended up going to trial and he was amazing! From prep to in the courtroom A++ a true professional. It only took a matter of hours (even on a Friday) to have a NOT guilty verdict on both charges and the case was dismissed.
I cannot recommend Josh and London Defense enough and his name is the only one I would put out there if anyone ever asks me if I know a great attorney. He is the main reason my life returned to normal after a terrible ordeal I went through.
Thanks again Josh you are the best and THE man!

Contacted a couple criminal attorneys a when I got charged for a dui, there explanations and fees were so scary and intimidating but when I reached out to Scott Anderson he made it so easy from the go with his explanations, availability ,fee and calmness. Yes I haven’t been in many troubles but I can boldly say Scott Anderson is the best in this game as he helped me knocked down the charge to a careless driving even before the court date. What baffled me most Scott is literally available to pick my calls anytime of the day and would take his time answering whatever questions thrown at him. I will recommend him anytime any day.

I just had a consultation with DeAnne Dulas today July 15, 2024. I have been searching for a new attorney for quite some time. In the hour conversation with DeAnne I learned more and had more detailed information presented to me than any attorney I’ve spoken to in years. She actually cared about my concerns I have and gave me the best details and options to handle for the time being. I know when I am ready for new representation I am absolutely going to DeAnne. I highly recommend her and thank you again for your help and time today.

Randall was recommended to me by a friend. I had never hired a lawyer before but my charges were severe and I was just hoping for the best outcome. Randall understood my concerns. He had extensive experience with the courts and my type of case in particular. He rolled up his sleeves and fought hard behind the scenes in my defense. His confidence in his abilities helped to put me at ease. The outcome was way beyond expectations. I don’t believe I would have received a better outcome from any other lawyer.

Rochlin Law Firm was amazing. After my accident I reached out to two law firm's about filing a case. After being turned down by both I reached out to Rochlin law Firm. From our first conversation Pam, demonstrated such compassion, care and support for the situation I was currently in and for what I endured in the months ahead of me. I knew Pam was in my corner and she had my back every step of the way leading up to the compensation I was awarded. She always kept me informed, and up to date in all aspects of my case. I’ve not only been privileged to acknowledge her as my lawyer, I am honored to call her a friend.

If you're reading this review, something unfortunate and unfair has taken place in your life or to someone you love. So, foremost, I wish you didn't need to be looking for a lawyer. And, if you've stumbled on this note, you're dearly close to experiencing a critical level of care related to your harmful injury via Pam's expertise, thoughtfulness, and advocacy. From September 2023 to January 2025, Pam Rochlin- and her incredible team- supported me in my process of recovery due to a dog bite attack. Nothing prepared me for the physical, emotional, social, and financial implications of my injuries. Thankfully, Pam and her team were present for every step of my experience with patience and understanding, plus a thoughtfulness and clarity to every communication. From a very difficult experience that has re-shaped my life, Pam's steadfast and brilliant work on behalf of my family and I is its own positive life changing impact.

Carson Heefner is amazing. He is a attorney who cares about his clients and will do whatever he can to help his client. I just had him on a first degree drug charge and was looking at 115 months prison sentence. The prosecutor wanted me to go to prison and the PSI wanted me to go to prison and he somehow got me 160 days in county and 5 years probation. Thank you so much for giving me a chance at a life.

Carson Heefner is an exceptional criminal defense attorney whose profound impact on my life cannot be overstated. From our initial consultation, Carson’s professionalism and no-nonsense approach were evident. Faced with a daunting array of cases across multiple counties and having been told by previous attorneys that my situation was grim, Carson stood out as a beacon of hope. His deep compassion, bold commitment, and extensive knowledge of the judicial system were apparent from the start.
Carson’s reputation in the legal community precedes him, and it's clear why. His expertise and respect among peers are well-earned, and he brought these qualities to bear with unwavering dedication in my case. Throughout the entire legal process, Carson was consistently accessible, providing clear and open communication. His down-to-earth style made me feel comfortable and heard, while his vigorous courtroom advocacy instilled a sense of strength and resilience.
Another factor that truly set Carson apart from others was his thoroughness in ensuring I was informed and prepared every step of the way. He methodically coordinated court dates, clarified every motion filed on my behalf, and made certain I fully understood each aspect of the legal proceedings. His meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach were crucial in managing the complexities of my cases.
Thanks to Carson Heefner’s exceptional legal skills and the respect he commands within the legal community, I now have a renewed chance to rebuild my life with newfound passion and hope. His impact extends beyond legal representation; it has inspired me to consider advocacy for others navigating similar legal challenges.
I am profoundly grateful for Carson’s outstanding work and the transformative effect he’s had on my life. For anyone seeking a highly respected attorney who combines expert knowledge with genuine care and relentless dedication, Carson Heefner is an unparalleled choice.

Allison took a very difficult case petitioning to review and a hearing for a closed divorce case. This due to shenanigans from petitioner's attorney on initial court hearing, court procedure not followed, no effort mediation on petitioner's part, and attorney's fees - all around petitioner being awarded my primary home. The case was reopened for review, at the end: I was awarded 100% equity and rights to my home and my attorney fees.
Your mileage may vary, but know this: This is likely your best mileage option!
Thanks a million Allison!

My issue didn't actually make it into the courtroom, I needed someone to advocate for me from a position of having experience with the law. And I needed someone to negotiate for me, who was not emotionally attached to a situation and would be much more capable than me maintaining a level head while speaking on my behalf. Which are definitely qualities that a good criminal defense attorney should have. Mr DeMarco has what could best be described as a bulldog attitude concerning litigation. Aggressive, determined, and possessive of a personality that is charismatic, but carries an air of menace. which is thankfully directed towards his opponents on your behalf. His partner at the time Jorma Cavaleri was also quite skilled. Very deep thinking, verbose, and jovial. They actually complimented each other quite well as a team. At least personality-wise as I've said my matter never made it into a courtroom. Just the same they did manage to secure victory for me. And if you are considering hiring him as an attorney, you could definitely do far worse. And considering the amount of potentially displayed when I met him 12 years ago I'm sure he's done nothing but improved tremendously since then.
You would do yourself a disservice by not at least contacting him about a consultation.

My husband was facing 7+ years in prison, Alex worked tremendously hard on his case. Alex advised us on resources to use like a phycological evaluation, classes, chemical dependency evaluations, etc. This was a very scary situation that we were in and with Alex's hard work and determination my husband went from 7+ years in prison to a plea deal with up to 7 years of probation. I cannot thank Alex enough for everything that he did for us. If you are looking for help and guidance you cannot go to a better person than Alex.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.
How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:
- Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
- Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
- Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.
Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
