Attorney McKinnon handled a matter for me and my BF of 2 years. She got his statement and represented him in the COA courts. Thoroughly satisfied with the attention and service received. I do not trust ANYONE but Attorney McKinnon to handle any of my cases.

My experience this this company was absolute horrible, I paid $7500 dollars and was told one thing then another , it was very hard to get in contact with ms McKinnon .. she was always busy with another client like I didn't pay my hard earned money she also got mad about me emailing her during certain hours and days if she wasn't at work
It was a very unprofessional experience for me and I wouldn't want anyone to ever have to deal with such a lawfirm like this .. I heard sorry from this company more then I heard in my entire life ..
I am very unsatisfied and very frustrated with the work they do at this company, people like this have to be stopped from getting over on there clients

I called in about four to five weeks ago and spoke with a Cassandra in reference to the loss of function in my great toe due to a doctors negligence. Cassandra laughed at me when I explained to her my situation, Cassandra also explained to me that it’s “all about money” when it comes to the business. A few days after I posted my review on Google Mr.Malone reached out to me condemning her actions and explaining to me how it works, and essentially it is about the money because it can cost almost 500k to get your case started. After talking with him I removed my review from google because he seemed sincere. However I just want someone to understand for me it’s the principle and not about the money. I sent all my records over to Mr.Malone around 06/04/2024 and sent an email on 06/22/2024 for an update. Mr.Malone informed me that he would look over my files and get back with me in about a week and if he couldnt help he would refer me to someone who possibly would be able to. I have not heard back, and I’m done, basically if you didn’t lose a limb your case will not be taken seriously and the doctor can do anything to you with no consequences. It’s really sad that everytime I’ve needed a workplace enviorment lawyer or a negligence lawyer this is the energy I have gotten. If you only signed up for the more lucrative cases you’re already doing it wrong. I’m just going to leave this firm to itself. I am leaving my review up and cutting contact. Hopefully I can find someone who is willing to do it for the right reasons. This has been very traumatic for me and I just want someone that is doing it for the right reasons.

I hired Harmon subsequent to my father and half siblings handing me a blank unsigned piece of paper that was purportedly my mother's Will. Harmon failed to take any court action when I asked to in my favor and failed to tell me the proper actions etc. to initiate my deceased mother's intentions. I lost big because of Harmon and have zero respect for this man. All Harmon did was send me bills till I could not take it any further. I received no share of multiple properties my mother had promised me my entire life. My situation with Harmon could not have been any worse. For these reasons and many more I highly encourage you NOT to hire this attorney...

My husband’s case turned out better than I thought. Attorney Hinkson, is very knowledgeable, was very attentive, patient and gave 100% honesty through the entire case. Attorney Hinkson provides a great turnaround time in responding to any email or text sent to her. My rating for her service is off the Charts. I highly recommend Attorney Hinkson for all cases that she provides.
Thank you for everything Attorney Hinkson and Mrs. Johnson!!!

I WISH I would have hired her sooner! I wasted so much time with a previous attorney, and the Hinkson Firm came in and got to business! I can guarantee, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will use her, for anything, that may arise in the future. Straight to the point, no problem explaining anything, and fights for you!

Ordway, as well as his staff, was always nice at the beginning for a new client. But he essentially does not work hard for you while charging you tons of money. He often negotiates a very bad deal (because he is very lazy), while giving you an impression that he achieved "favorable results" for you. When he responds to your questions, the answer is always short and oftentimes misleading (but you would have a good impression because he is a smooth talker).
When the other party is very tough, Ordway really do not fight for you, although he pretends he does. My divorce ended up with a very bad deal (I did not know at the time). To this date, I still have another (good) attorney to clean up his mess. Do not throw away your hard earned money for his bad services, especially when his services are deceptively adequate.

I can’t thank Mr. Ordway and his team enough!! He made sure my interests where protected. He fought hard for me and my little girl and we got everything I wanted. This has been a very long and stressful year, but I couldn’t have done this with out them. mr. Ordway is fair, up front and very good at his job! Any time I needed to talk to him, he jumped on the phone or emailed me right back. This case was very messy and at times I cried. His office team always responded and helped me through it all. Thank you so very much, it feels good to be on the winning team!

I am greatful for finding Mr Ordway who helped me with my international divorce and custody case. Mr Bill is a very professional prompt and dedicated lawyer. He knew exactly what to do and things worked out great. I got reunited with my daughter and that was my dream.
I highly recommend Mr William Ordway to anyone who needs an excellent divorce attorney and also for international divorce cases.

I met initially with Eileen because I had concerns for protecting my daughter. She helped me realized I was not guilty and to stop beating myself up. Her legal advise was so valuable it saved my life from a negative interaction with law enforcement. She predicted it and I doubted her but still took her advise. Ultimately, for a variety of reasons she couldn't take the case which I respect her business decision. I would recommend talking to her. She is not money hungry since she knows the case could have been lucrative. She cares about the right things.

I sought out Eileen's assistance in looking for a new lawyer. While she could not take the case she did spend a good deal of time looking over my case with me. She was able to find many, many issues with my case that no one else figured out. She then recommended me to another highly competent lawyer. She is empathetic, kind and extraordinarily bright. 10/10

Nearly the same as Amanda has said. This woman is an absolute crook. By the way, I'd love for someone to tell me if she has actually "retired" or she is running from a terrible reputation.....And note to Diana.....You didn't perform the services you said you had and we kept the evidence.....A Judge you may be familiar with had some EXCELLENT advice for us.

This is Bidut Chowdhury and I adopted my daughter, who was an adult, from my wife's previous marriage. Ashley's office staff was super efficient and timely in following up with every development in the case. Abbie Murphy, the assistant was very proactive in calling me about every little detail, or necessary revisions, etc.; and exceedingly cordial. The bottom line...from the date we filed the "complete" paperwork...it took approximately only a month to get the court order. I am a very thankful client.

I am writing to express my profound gratitude and satisfaction with the exemplary legal representation I received from Banks Weaver Law Firm and their team following my recent accident. From the moment I first reached out to their office, I was met with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my case.
Navigating the aftermath of an accident can be an incredibly overwhelming experience. The physical, emotional, and financial toll it takes on a person is often exacerbated by the complexities of dealing with insurance companies and legal proceedings. However, from our initial consultation, Sam Weaver demonstrated not only an impressive depth of legal knowledge but also a genuine understanding of the challenges I was facing. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and outline a strategic plan tailored specifically to my needs.
Throughout the entire process, Banks Weaver and their team exhibited an extraordinary level of dedication and responsiveness. I was kept informed at every stage of my case, with regular updates on developments and clear explanations of legal terms and procedures. This transparency helped alleviate much of the anxiety I felt during this tumultuous time. Additionally, the team was always available to address any concerns I had, often responding to emails and calls promptly, which reassured me that my case was in capable hands.
One of the standout aspects was their tenacity in negotiating with the insurance companies. They were relentless in advocating for my rights and ensuring I received fair compensation for my injuries and losses. Their extensive experience in personal injury law was evident as they skillfully navigated the complexities of the case, leveraging their expertise to counter the tactics typically employed by insurance adjusters.
Ultimately, Banks Weaver Law Firm successfully secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations, allowing me to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. This outcome not only provided financial relief but also gave me a sense of closure and justice that I desperately sought after the accident.
I wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance following an accident. Their combination of professionalism, expertise, and compassion set them apart in the field. I am immensely grateful for their efforts and the positive outcome they achieved on my behalf. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, look no further than Banks Weaver Law Firm Thank you once again for everything!

I got a staph infection from a manicure and felt very affected from the experience. I went online and found Adrienne by chance. I talked to her on the phone to see if I had a case against the salon. This was the first time I had ever sought legal representation for personal injury. I felt a little petty and embarrassed because of the stigma these kinds of lawsuits have but I knew that the salon had done something wrong and caused me tremendous pain. If I hadn't barged into a doctor's office two days after the manicure when my finger was red and swollen to twice its size, I don't know what would have happened next. Adrienne never made me feel like she had better cases to handle, even though I thought she probably did. She told me exactly what she needed from me and told me exactly what she was going to do, step by step. After a couple of months of trying to figure out if the salon had insurance and who the new owners were, Adrienne called me with good news. I was surprised to hear that the salon's insurance company offered to pay my medical bills and a fair amount for pain and suffering. Shortly after, I got the check. Adrienne and I clicked from the first time we met and I was very pleased with her handling of this case. I would highly recommend her .

Ms. Hobbs is great at what she does and does what she does because she believes in it. She is professional, personable, and takes the time to discuss options, receive input, and explain what is happening with the case. She takes the time to return all calls personally. I never felt ignored or that she was too busy to keep me informed. I would not hesitate to refer her to a friend or have her represent me again.

Mr. Austin Lee Ramsey is an exceptional attorney! He assisted me with my late father’s estate. And it was a great comfort during that difficult time to know that the legal matters of my father’s final affairs were in the hands of a capable attorney. I am so grateful for his guidance. And in any future legal matters I would again turn to Mr Ramsey for his effective legal advice. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing sound legal assistance.

Precise and efficient legal guidance with timely processing that successfully closed an estate that would have otherwise been a nightmare for this executor. And this was not an easy one--many challenges were handled with care as thoroughly, completely and professionally every step of the way.
I am so grateful to Rumsey and Ramsey being there for me!

How can anyone work with someone this nasty? I only met with her for a consultation but that was enough to know she was not for me. Tough is one thing. Abrasive, rude is another.

I cannot recommend Kyla Lines more. She represented me in my Divorce and later a contempt and custody case. She is smart, ethical, honest, she was the most well-prepared attorney I have seen in the courtroom and led a flawless examination despite changing circumstances. This is an honest review from a real client. I was not asked to give a review, but I am doing so to praise and thank a truly great attorney.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?

Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -

Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
