I was going through a very rough time in my life and needed guidance and help right away but wanted the right kind of help. I was able to find Daniel and Deanna and the minute I called to get some information I just knew I found the right people to talk to. I spoke to Deanna first and wow she was just so pleasant to talk to. You can tell she cares and wanted to give me all the right information. She made sure I understood what the process would be. Then met and spoke to Daniel and after that first meeting I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, care, and dedication.
What truly sets them apart is their genuine care for their clients. Daniel and Deanna Higson treated me with respect and compassion, making sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns, ensuring that I was well-informed and confident in the direction we were taking.
Their attention to detail and expertise in the field were evident in every interaction, and I was constantly impressed by their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. I highly recommend Daniel and Deanna Higson to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you for everything!

I was referred to another local attorney who couldn’t return my calls efficiently. I searched online for someone else and called. Deanna answered right away and was warm and thorough from the beginning. I set up an appointment and because of the information, I hired him to walk with me through it all. I didn’t feel like just another client. Daniel and Deanna are gems in this field, they got me through the process with the time constraints that I had. They’re both so understanding, professional, caring, accommodating and reasonable. If you’re looking for someone to help you every step of the way then you won’t go wrong hiring the office of Daniel Higson.

5 stars is not enough. Mr. Mehas and Ms. Santo are the A team of attorneys. They are comprehensive, strategic, one step ahead, and a powerful team! When you hire the Santo Mehas firm to manage your case, you have hired a team of legal advocates who care, who will keep you informed, who will fight for you, and be the voice you need to represent you. Without the help of the entire firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. They took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. They worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. They stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though there were challenges, they strategically and diligently with compassion met them head on and never faltered. Their expertise and thoroughness provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

Okay so let me start off by saying first and foremost Scott Bentley is truly truly the Bentley of all lawyers. From the very very beginning when I caught my case over 3 years ago Scott has been there the entire time. He truly cares about his clients and actually takes the time to make sure he's prepared for all the court dates. He also has a great rapport in the courts and with the judges etc and is very well respected. He truly goes that extra mile. And like I said we fought this case for 3 years and then after the outcome I was arrested and he came to see me in jail and was at all the court days and appeared on a 977 multiple times. My case was extremely extremely complicated and very in-depth. I really don't know what I would have done without him. He is not only a great person in general but he's also very encouraging and positive. I really can't think him enough and I'm here to tell you that if you need a lawyer Scott is the best and you won't be disappointed. So please don't make the mistake of hiring somebody else because I don't think there's any other lawyer like Scott Bentley.

Great experience here. Karen was very professional and helpful in the estate/will planning process. She spent a lot of time explaining and offering helpful insight to our specific needs. I highly recommend Botti and Morison for your estate planning.

We attended an estate planning workshop, & found it to be very informative. The presenters helped clarify the processes & advantages of estate planning for us in language we could understand.
We preferred to do business with Botti & Morrison because they are specialists in this area. We were happy they took care of the documents & filing required, & especially liked the fact that we can contact their firm with any questions or changes to our Trust WITHOUT any additional fees. We also received a discount because we attended the workshop.
I would highly recommend their firm for estate planning purposes.

Karen is completely professional, without any patronizing affect.
She patiently explained all terms and processes, thoroughly investigating our particular situation, needs and desires for providing for our children and future security,
What’s more, she continues to avail herself to us for questions as we finish organizing our estate, transfer assets and fund our trust..
We are still invited to call or email with any difficulties, at no extra charge.
We so appreciate the streamlining of this process and the forethought of Botti and Morrison’s Trust processes.

I personally hired Amber Rodriquez to assist me in the administration of my parents trust. She also represented me in a civil lawsuit against my parents trust by my sibling. She assisted me in my own personal estate planning as well. She came highly recommended by and I quickly could see why. Amber is a very knowledgeable lawyer who is also very calm and focused. She kept me informed constantly, along with her excellent staff. I cannot thank Amber and her wonderful staff enough for all that they have done for me through such a difficult time.

I was fortunate to be represented by Amber Rodriguez in what
became a drawn out mess with my former husband's daughter.
We had impossible, frustrating months dealing with her refusal
to cooperate in any way. Amber hung in till the very end.
Mediation was required and she hands down won the day as I
am convinced only she could have done. I could not recommend her any more highly.....I trusted her totally and you can too! Just speak to her awhile, and you will understand.

Amber updated a trust for me by consolidating several complex trusts into one simple trust. After originating a new trust, we placed several pieces of property in it. It was a complicated procedure as we were selling one under the new trust and exchanging for other properties. This process was handled efficiently and everything went smoothly. I have had a lot of experience with lawyers over my career and Amber rates amount the top.

it was truly my lucky day when I was referred to Amy Dilbeck. She explained the process to us in detail and in terms that we understood. She was extremely professional and had all the knowledge necessary to work through our process. Not only was she informative, she was also very personable and responded to my emails on the weekend! I surely would not hesitate to recommend Amy to anyone. The company is truly luck to have someone like Ms. Dilbeck on their staff.

Robert Westbrook's care of my family during our residential mold case was excellent. He provided us with all the options and helped us decide the best course of action for our family. His years of experience in residential law was apparent as he successfully negotiated a higher settlement offer from the insurance company than what was being offered. Robert Westbrook did a great job representing my family.

Crista Hermance, and her staff, are the perfect choice for putting together your plan when you need estate planning. I consulted Crista on this sometimes difficult topic and she taught me so much I didn't know about the subject - but need to know as the mother of minor children - and had excellent guiding materials to help me make decisions, including a step by step guidebook. She's a mom herself and she gets how difficult this can be. She really cares about her clients.

Crista is truly a maven in her field, she prides herself on being a true advocate for the young parents. She is compassionate and caring and is not intimidating which helps her get her clients to protect what is most important to them, thier family. I really enjoy working with her with my clients as she has flexible hours and can even have her team go to the clients homes.
Truly a gift to the community!

My wife and I owned and operated a small restaurant that, with the economic decline we were not able to keep up with all of our bills. We were being sued by creditors and the landlord. Randy filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy case that eliminated all of our personal and business debts, got rid of the lawsuits and allowed us to breath easily and get back to a normal life. I would recommend Randy to anyone who is feeling the pressure from creditors.

We thought our trust would be complicated since we have several properties, bank accounts, children and businesses. There was only one person we knew that had the advanced expertise to create our trust. We first hired SusAnne and her team in 2004 to create our trust. She asked questions that had never occured to my husband and I. We were actually not looking forward to the appointment for obvious reasons. When we left, we were more confident in our family's future through the warm, realistic conversation we had throughout the initial process. We made little updates until 2011. In 2011, we sat down with SusAnne because we recently had another child. We learned that the initial trust was so well-written and thorough that it took into account our son even years before he was born. After seven more years of marriage, conversations between spouses change and our need to take care of each other's parents have developed. Again, we knew we could count on SusAnne to provide a warm, trusting, respectful environment where we can openly discuss each other's wishes for our family together and our parents. SusAnne brought up other relevant questions and issues for us to consider. Since she is dedicated to estate planning, she has first-hand knowledge of family dynamics after one spouse has passed away. We both feel confident that our collective and individual wishes will be carried forward and have SusAnne to thank for it. I strongly recommend her for your trust and to refer your clients and friends to her.

I can't thank Ryan Dolinar enough for the great service he provided after I was involved in both a head-on collision and a bad fender bender within a couple years of each other. From the very beginning, Ryan was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely caring and supportive during a difficult time. He took the time to explain every step of the legal process to me, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. Ryan’s dedication to my case was evident in how he gathered evidence, communicated with the insurance companies, and fought for the best possible outcome. His expertise and determination resulted in a settlement that exceeded my what I thought I'd get. What makes Ryan great is his compassion and understanding. He wasn’t just my lawyer; he was an advocate and friend who truly cared about my well-being. I highly recommend Ryan Dolinar to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. He’s a true professional who will go above and beyond to ensure you get the justice you deserve.

When I had my second car accident, I was hesitant to seek legal action due to concerns about the time and effort required. However, I was recommended to seek the help of a lawyer, particularly Quirk Law Firm. Im glad I called them. Filing a lawsuit doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the assistance of a skilled lawyer, the process can be made significantly easier and less stressful, it allowed me to focus on my treatment while they handled everything else. I get to do vacation and my job at home while my case is on going. The result was a seamless and stress-free experience with an amazing team that I highly recommend. Thank you for assisting me and for giving me the settlement that I deserve.

I hired Mr. Jarrod Wilfert for a DUI with injury case. This case was over two years old and even though I originally was told, I passed the sobriety test and did not get a DUI for some reason they decided to bring it back. Keep in mind, I had made several complaints about the police department, ignoring restraining order and allowing me to be abused. I had all the evidence to show not only was I assaulted that same month which is why I tested positive for a medication. They didn’t decide to bring the charge back because I got an evading police charge because I have PTSD Which had already been communicated with the police department many times. I did not evade the police. I let the car roll forward while having a panic attack. I tried to make that case for the police Evasion case Which should’ve been allowed because I really did have a mental health diagnose That I had been treated for four I had proof that I dealt with Negligence from the police and I put in reports. Nobody cared they wouldn’t let me make those arguments and they let me get a conviction which made them review the dui Decide to charge me. I had proof that I was assaulted that same month that I put in a complaint to the police department because the police who responded was friends with my ex who was my abuser. I also had proof that my car was rear-ended just a couple weeks before, and I took it into a mechanic who said that if it continued to Have break problems To bring it in, I had text messages with the owner of the car telling him that I thought I needed to bring it back in. I was on my way to the mechanic when the accident happened. I passed a sobriety test, and my roommate was with me when I passed it But for some reason, two years later during court They changed it And it said I did not pass. These were all viable arguments I could’ve brought in front of a jury But was advised not to because Mr. Wilfert told me he believed I could get it reduced to a misdemeanor, And from what I understand that would’ve this dismissed The whole case. While going through all this, I had to watch my abusive ex get hate crime And then get them dismiss due to mental health problems. Which he only saw because he was court ordered too, But as a woman who deals with a real medical condition and pays out-of-pocket for my my treatments Wasn’t the same treatment within my own community because apparently I’m a bad woman who needs to take a accountability. Besides all this There was several mistakes made with my case. For some reason, the police were very eager to have me go into the jails, So I was requesting house arrest, especially because of Covid. Mr. Wilford receptionist told me she was sending in the paperwork, right away. But after contacting the sheriffs department, I found out the paperwork was never turned in, I had to fill out the paperwork myself And turn it in last minute. If I didn’t persistently I would’ve had to go into the jails at one of the most dangerous times during Covid. Months later, I had texted Mr. Wilford because he told me to text him anytime, I texted him four times in one month Because the judge told me if I did everything within months, He would reduce the charge to a misdemeanor And get me off probation. So I was excited and I was texting him trying to get information on meeting up to discuss this. He never responded and you see me get concerned as if I thought something happened to him. Instead of getting a professional response and being allowed to be informed on my case and get help, I had the receptionist contact me getting… FULL REVIEW IN PHOTOS

For our case, dealing with the juvenile court, Mr. Wilfert seemed very unprepared. We would basically get information the day that we were in front of the judge, and the DA pretty much ran the show.
It is a misrepresentation that Mr. Wilfert states that he will fight for you, and is knowledgeable because he used to be police officer and a DA himself, because he lets the court decide and have control of your case, thus your destiny.
I had to start calling Mr. Wilfert's office and demand that he would communicate and tells anything about our case.
If your case is serious and you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight for you, and present a good defense, communicate with you about your case, do yourself a favor, and do not hire Wilfert Law.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Emerson Law after a challenging car accident, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service. From our initial consultation, Taylor demonstrated a profound understanding of both the legal complexities and the emotional toll of the situation. Her dedication to my case was evident in their meticulous attention to detail, prompt communication, and personalized approach. Taylor not only provided expert legal counsel but also offered genuine support and reassurance throughout the entire process.
The outcome of my case was far better than I had anticipated, thanks to the strategic and compassionate efforts of Emerson Law. She went above and beyond to ensure that my interests were well-represented and that I received the compensation I deserved. If you find yourself in need of legal representation for a car accident, I wholeheartedly recommend Emerson Law for their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment to their clients.

Taylor Emerson is a wonderful resource. After family member was involved in a collision, I contacted Taylor. She quickly and patiently spent time connecting with me. She listened to the description of events, asked very thoughtful questions, and prepared us for what would occur when placing a claim. She managed our expectations and made some excellent points for us to consider. She followed up with us to check in and see how our claim was going and provided additional recommendations based on developments we shared.

I hired Mr. Jarrod Wilfert for a DUI with injury case. This case was over two years old and even though I originally was told, I passed the sobriety test and did not get a DUI for some reason they decided to bring it back. Keep in mind, I had made several complaints about the police department, ignoring restraining order and allowing me to be abused. I had all the evidence to show not only was I assaulted that same month which is why I tested positive for a medication. They didn’t decide to bring the charge back because I got an evading police charge because I have PTSD Which had already been communicated with the police department many times. I did not evade the police. I let the car roll forward while having a panic attack. I tried to make that case for the police Evasion case Which should’ve been allowed because I really did have a mental health diagnose That I had been treated for four I had proof that I dealt with Negligence from the police and I put in reports. Nobody cared they wouldn’t let me make those arguments and they let me get a conviction which made them review the dui Decide to charge me. I had proof that I was assaulted that same month that I put in a complaint to the police department because the police who responded was friends with my ex who was my abuser. I also had proof that my car was rear-ended just a couple weeks before, and I took it into a mechanic who said that if it continued to Have break problems To bring it in, I had text messages with the owner of the car telling him that I thought I needed to bring it back in. I was on my way to the mechanic when the accident happened. I passed a sobriety test, and my roommate was with me when I passed it But for some reason, two years later during court They changed it And it said I did not pass. These were all viable arguments I could’ve brought in front of a jury But was advised not to because Mr. Wilfert told me he believed I could get it reduced to a misdemeanor, And from what I understand that would’ve this dismissed The whole case. While going through all this, I had to watch my abusive ex get hate crime And then get them dismiss due to mental health problems. Which he only saw because he was court ordered too, But as a woman who deals with a real medical condition and pays out-of-pocket for my my treatments Wasn’t the same treatment within my own community because apparently I’m a bad woman who needs to take a accountability. Besides all this There was several mistakes made with my case. For some reason, the police were very eager to have me go into the jails, So I was requesting house arrest, especially because of Covid. Mr. Wilford receptionist told me she was sending in the paperwork, right away. But after contacting the sheriffs department, I found out the paperwork was never turned in, I had to fill out the paperwork myself And turn it in last minute. If I didn’t persistently I would’ve had to go into the jails at one of the most dangerous times during Covid. Months later, I had texted Mr. Wilford because he told me to text him anytime, I texted him four times in one month Because the judge told me if I did everything within months, He would reduce the charge to a misdemeanor And get me off probation. So I was excited and I was texting him trying to get information on meeting up to discuss this. He never responded and you see me get concerned as if I thought something happened to him. Instead of getting a professional response and being allowed to be informed on my case and get help, I had the receptionist contact me getting… FULL REVIEW IN PHOTOS

For our case, dealing with the juvenile court, Mr. Wilfert seemed very unprepared. We would basically get information the day that we were in front of the judge, and the DA pretty much ran the show.
It is a misrepresentation that Mr. Wilfert states that he will fight for you, and is knowledgeable because he used to be police officer and a DA himself, because he lets the court decide and have control of your case, thus your destiny.
I had to start calling Mr. Wilfert's office and demand that he would communicate and tells anything about our case.
If your case is serious and you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight for you, and present a good defense, communicate with you about your case, do yourself a favor, and do not hire Wilfert Law.

He was supposed to do a writ of execution but never did he say he handed the paperwork to a paralegal who’s not answering and at this point probably not a real person, struggling to get him to the job that’ll probably take gim 5 minutes and it’s been two months now

Probably this was one of my best choices I made with professionals. I had to evict my tenant who were not paying their rent from February.

Highly recommending their services
