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.

I’ve known Mike Hall for over 30 years. He is a man of character and keen intellect with a strong moral compass. He is a fighter, and takes his clients’ interests to heart. Some lawyers look for an easy payday or a quick settlement - that is not Mike Hall. He is shrewd, tenacious and highly effective. His ability to communicate and distill complex fact patterns into a winning argument is unparalleled. You can trust him to get you the best possible result that the law will allow. I can’t think of a better lawyer to have in your corner.

The Rochlin Law Firm assisted us after my 10 year old son was attacked by two uncontrolled, vicious dogs. It was terrible!
Pam and her team were the best! They are a very caring, organized and talented law firm that I would use again if ever the need arises. Highly recommended!

Sandy made us feel so comfortable with our estate planning and the whole process so easy. She made something with such heavy weight feel weightless. We felt like it was a friendly neighbor walking us through all the paperwork. Sandy's warm aura makes you feel safe asking any questions, no matter how silly they may seem. Do not hesitate to reach out. I would recommend any friends or family to Sandy.

My experience with LifeBack Law Firm was absolutely amazing. Jesse Horoshak, Seren Kiger and Madison Newberg made a stressful situation a breeze.

I would seriously recommend them to all my friends and family! Truly appreciate all the help and professionalism they gave me! Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication.

**Outstanding Legal Expertise and Exceptional Client Service!**
I had the pleasure of working with Consumer Attorneys Law Firm(James & Mehak),and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, dedication, and expertise. From the very first consultation, they took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, straightforward advice. Their attention to detail and deep understanding of consumer law made me feel confident and well-represented throughout the entire process.
The team was incredibly responsive, always keeping me updated and answering any questions I had promptly. What truly stood out was their genuine care for my case, treating me as a person rather than just another client. They worked tirelessly to ensure I received the best possible outcome, and their commitment to justice was evident every step of the way.
If you're in need of legal representation in the consumer space, I highly recommend Consumer Attorneys Law Firm. Their expertise, transparency, and client-focused approach set them apart from the rest. Five stars all the way!

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.

I would highly recommend John Lesch if you have any legal needs. He recently helped me with a very difficult case. He was professional, prompt, aggressive when needed, and knowledgeable. He was EXACTLY who I needed to represent me with my case. I truly believe that he was essential in getting the right deal for me. If I have any other legal needs I will be retaining him.
Also, Ashley in his office was great to work with. She was very professional, and got back to me very quickly on any, and all of my questions.

The first thing I must say is I am beyond thankful to have stumbled across the incredible human being, Rick, who also happens to be one hell of a lawyer.
There is no one I would recommend more as a lawyer than Rick and the firm itself (Universal Defense). If you’d like to read my long story book as to why, see below.
Unfortunately, last year I found myself needing to find a criminal defense attorney due to unforeseen life circumstances.
This was my first time in my adult life personally experiencing the state court system and I had no clue what to expect or how to navigate anything. I had paralyzing anxiety and nobody seemed to have any answer’s to help.
After hours of online research, I ended up locating Universal Defense and many other offices so I called and left dozens of voicemails. (This was very late at night.) Rick returned my call quickly and took the time to explain to my clearly overwhelmed self what the next steps looked like. He was extremely empathetic and kind throughout the whole process. Rick treated my fiancé and I with the kindness you would expect from close family from day one.
He always came to court prepared, well-dressed, and on time. Rick and his office team made sure we had all documents, courses, and court date information as needed. It was clear in court when representing us that Rick was very knowledgeably in regard to criminal law and court proceedings. He carries himself well within the court room and comes across charismatically to all parties. (Which is a phenomenal skill in the legal world, IMO)
Throughout the whole court process, Rick was able to offer recommendations and file motions to remove a NCO ultimately leading to my family being reunited. I truly believe without Rick’s expertise and assistance I would still be fighting within the court system to have my family back together.
Thankfully because of all the assistance of Rick and the Universal Defense team, I get to spend my nights at home cuddling my mini zoo (3 dogs and a cat) and my fiancé again.
Forever grateful for the assistance of Rick and Universal Defense for helping me get my life back.

Thanks!

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!!

Family Law - Child Custody - DV Advocate
Dedication, accuracy, knowledge and support.
As a strong advocate myself for my children in an extremely in-depth and difficult situation, Ms. Jessica Kim took on a lot and walked me through it all with ease. I've had so many questions, and she was always there. The turnaround time was impeccable. I was in absolute shock with this type of dedication and accurate information provided which made our situation less stressful. Jessica isn't doing this as a "job" rather, a career of making sure her clients and their children are well represented to ensure their safety and well-being, as well as everything in between. Ms. Kim shows a great amount of knowledge and integrity as she works with her clients' personal situation and I can not thank her enough for representing my children and myself.
Jessica - Your firm has been a turning point in our lives in every single way while taking into consideration the financial burden one could possibly encounter during these difficult situations. I would (and will continue to) recommend your firm to anyone walking in my shoes. Your heart and soul is in your career, and you're doing this for us that need and rely on someone like you for guidance and support. Again, I appreciate your assistance in everything you do. It does not go unnoticed. Thank you again.

Ms. Oney is a consummate professional and excellent attorney and advocate. I have had a lot of experience with family law attorneys and can say without hesitation, that Julie is the best I have ever dealt with. She is thorough. She knows the law. She can give case law. Further, she genuinely seems to care, without being overly emotional – which is how it should be. I was, and continue to be, very pleased with the outcome of my case. There was never an incident wherein I wasn’t impressed with her responses, strategy, or knowledge. She handled a Stipulation and Order for me – which came after an unfortunate Judgment and Decree. My only regret is not finding her earlier to handle my initial Custody proceedings.
If you are looking for an advocate and attorney that will do an amazing job…look no further – Julie Oney is the one you need!
UPDATE/ADDITION:
Had to use Julie again for a Child Support matter and cannot say enough positive about her and her masterful handling of my matter - she stayed the course and made sure things were done in a way that was far beyond what I could have asked or imagined!

Denise and Conrad were quick to respond when I had questions and explained every step very well. I contacted them after being jerked around by worker’s compensation insurance company for an injury. Denise helped me get more treatment that improved my injury and negotiated a good settlement. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in heartbeat!

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!

Having Austin has been my best experience with an attorney. Very reasonably priced. I was facing a mandatory 60 months sentence and his representation of me got me off with a disposition. He speaks elaborately, and fluently. His court room experience was very reassuring. I was very appreciative how he was able to break things down and make things easy for me to understand. He covered all the bases, and had realistic goals and expectations of me to help me with my case. I would recommend to anybody and if I ever find myself in trouble again I will be contacting him immediately.

Their team was quick and resilient. I had a unique situation that involved cross-states and custody of a minor. I called at least 50 different lawyers in these two states who all ended up referring me to someone else or just plain didn't know how to handle my case.
When I contacted Ryan Shmisek he took charge right away and was readily prepared for multiple outcomes for this case. He and his team maintained open-communication and answered all my questions when they came up which I really appreciated in such a complex/sensitive situation. He was extremely considerate and mindful during the whole process.
I am forever grateful to them and highly recommend reaching out to them.

We had a great experience working with Satveer Chaudhary on my spouse's visa change of status process from J2 to F1. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and helping us fill out the forms in the best way possible. We could always contact him directly and receive almost immediate responses from him (not an assistant), even after hours and on some weekends! I’m not sure if other lawyers would provide that level of service, especially with no extra charges. We also appreciated how thorough he was, staying in touch not only when the approval letter arrived but also during our trip to India for stamping. We truly appreciate his time and support throughout the process and highly recommend his services.

On December 17, 2021, I was accused of committing a crime I didn't do. I was slammed with 2 counts of Felony charges. I found Jennifer Speas to represent me. When I got to her office to meet her one-on- one, she was already prepared. She had analyzed my case and she was ready for a defense. She made a move to dismiss the charges but I had the most difficult prosecutor at that time so she refused to dismiss. Jenniferr was always ready for Trial because I insisted not to settle for any plea that would ruin my life. Jennifer also brought in another Defense Attorney who is equally good. She didn't charge me for it. She paid him from her retainer. She and the co-counsel were bent on defending me with everything they've got. They kept fighting and fighting for me.
We started the first trial in December 2023 but the judge dismissed the jury on day 3 because the prosecutor kept hiding information from the defense.
We were ready to start the second Trial on August 12, 2024. The new prosecutor dismissed the case on August 8, 2024.
Jennifer is very professional, very knowledgeable and determined to get you the best outcome. I highly recommend Jennifer Speas for your defense any day. Don't think about it. Just hire her.
Thank you,
O.O

Finally getting around to this. This guy is useless, wouldn’t let him near a divorce proceeding unless you have golden uterus syndrome. This guy no matter what you put in front of him always sides with the woman of the divorce. Absolutely disgusting, should have his license removed

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.
- Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.
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.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
