Would not recommend Sarah Cavanaugh. I’ve witnessed her in court. She seemed very unprepared to represent. Steer clear and find someone worth your money!

“Divorces are incredibly stressful, from start to finish. Well-meaning family and friends are constantly giving you conflicting advice that can honestly make decision-making very difficult. However, from the start, I felt that my lawyer, Mike Sands, and his legal team at Husker Law listened to my concerns and gave me unbiased counsel when I needed it the most. They took the time to educate me on legal matters that I was unfamiliar with and were upfront about the potential challenges and risks involved in my case, ensuring that I had realistic expectations from start to finish. I found Mike and his team, especially his paralegal Brenda Ronspies, to be incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I’m extremely thankful for their help in achieving such a positive outcome. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Dan Rock was good about advising me on what to do about ADT Solar not completing my solar panel system install. Not very helpful with my attempt to get a suit going against them, though, and then proceeded to tell me that they are *not* on my employer's Met Life Legal Plan anymore, which is where I found them, and where I still see them listed.

I reached out to Wesley S. Dodge for mediation help and I have been pleasantly surprised at how friendly, fast, and efficient his office is! Holly Cox was able to schedule an appointment the following day; she is amazingly fast at preparing and filing all the paperwork with the court. Mr. Dodge has a wealth of experience and he truly works for the benefit of the children; he pointed out items that would be relevant for my case.

I had a legal matter earlier this year in Omaha. I asked around and Joe Risko was a name that kept coming up. I hired him to take on my case. His rates were reasonable. He went above and beyond to get a conclusion to my case that I was very satisfied with. I would highly recommend Joe Risko should you need legal representation in the Omaha area.

I have known Tony, personally and professionally, for more than 10 years. I have used his services for my family on multiple occasions. Most importantly, I hired him to get custody of my son. He was extremely honest with me and told me upfront what I could expect. He did such an excellent job for me that I ended up not having to go to court.
I have highly recommend Tony to a few people.

Had Tony handle my legal separation but he did very little and I ended up getting screwed. At the consult he said "don't worry we will get you what you deserve"!! Well that was a lie and working with him was the most miserable experience ever. Many times he would not answer my emails OR phone calls, that was a huge problem. I would never recommend him or this firm EVER. They will take your money and deliver very little.

Tony not only did a bad job with my divorce, I will now have to pay another attorney due how poor his work was and due to the fact that he was never really fully enraged in my case. It was too difficult to hire another attorney due to how close the court date was, otherwise I would have fired Tony. Phone calls were never returned, email answers were vague, document meant to protect me were left incomplete. Tony was always “too busy” to respond promptly or at all. I could go on and on. The bottom line is, Tony just wants your money, he strung the process along to get the most money from me he could, doesn’t seem to care too much about you, your livelihood or the outcome of your case. I will now how to pay a different attorney to fix his mistakes. Avoid this attorney.

James did exactly what I wanted a lawyer to do. I didn't want to be boiling in the pot with my ex, and all the problems she brings with her. He did all the footwork, and I actually had to do very little. He always got back to me within 24 hrs no matter what my question was. I was very nervous and unsure about what would happen to me, and my daughter during this process. But with the circumstances, and james as my attorney...I can honestly say...I WON

I had a very difficult time navigating my case with my children and Mr. Adams went above and beyond. Extremely direct, and guided me to resolve my fears of losing my children over speculation.
Thank. you Mr. Adams. I recommend to everyone.

James isn’t lying when he says he specializes in representing men. Every time my ex-husband asked for something, James gave it to him, charged me for the paperwork changes, and eventually threatened that I would lose in court (he will promise to settle out of court, which is one of his “selling points”). Mr Adams allowed my ex and his counsel to destroy me financially, and then he told me I was overreacting.
Find someone else - he was late, rude, and condescending after he secured his retainer.

What can I say, the best experience and outcome I could receive! Julie was straight forward and direct with what she needed from me, which I liked. It made me feel like there were no shortcuts or games being played. This gave me confidence that my case may not take as long as I thought. Furthermore, Julie was patient in explaining and communicating EVERYTHING. I felt as if I could pass the bar after every one of our conversations(lol). I would highly recommend and use Ms. Fowlers services again!!
P.S. Her rates are super competitive compared to other Law Firms I contacted.

Deceptive, avoided getting back to me about charges, did not understand my case, went to two hearings in the short time he was hired and did not advocate on my behalf when he had the opportunity to do so. After his withdrawal he charged over $2,000 more in unexplained fees that were not applicable, after the final Bill had been paid.

Mr. Whelan and Joanna, his Paralegal were exceptional in handling my case regarding custody modification for my 10 year old. They were compassionate / knowledgeable and most importantly realistic; they didn’t give false promises and put it straight forward. We had lots of documents and they were able to weed through them for substantial exhibits to be used in our case. Went from joint legal only to joint physical/legal. While we were utterly prepared for court, we settled outside of court standing firm. We were recommended by a couple others to this attorney and we will use/recommend him and his staff in the future.

Very poor representation during court. Switched attorneys on me before trial..reason was because Lawrence had trial that day for someone else. Never did any type of evidence gathering, seemed to always act suprised/taking notes down on something that had already been discussed and had notes on. Very expensive. Overcharged on things that should havent been charged on. Me personally , i regret hiring these guys and if I could go back and fire them before my trial I would have. They totally let me down as a client , were quick to hurry and settle a deal, without even attempting to do any questioning of the opposing party. These guys are pathetic and exactly opposite of aggressive.

My husband hired Bill Bianco to represent him on a lawsuit he was filing against someone. During the time Bill represented him I have never seen my husband so stressed and anxious. He kept saying I think my own lawyer is working against me. Finally after months of Bill doing nothing my husband fired him. He has now found a great lawyer and is so much happier. Of course not before being lied too and mistreated. Please do not hire Bill Bianco!

Bill Bianco is the worst lawyer in Nebraska! I am going to try and keep this as short as possible, but considering all the incomprehensible things Bill Bianco did or didn't do with my case that won’t be easy. I have needed lawyers many times in my business career of 25+ years. In this time, I have had some pretty bad lawyers but none of them were nearly as horrible as Bill Bianco. I have had opposing lawyers treat me better than he did as my lawyer. After 4 months of malpractice, disrespect and ethical violations I fired him.
This review is the first of many things I have planned for him. Next I am reporting Bill to the Counsel for Discipline to be reprimanded and I am also suing him for my legal fees plus damages. From overcharging me for work he didn't do, to disrespecting myself, my experts and my other attorneys it was beyond bad. You would be better off representing yourself than hiring Bill Bianco. If you’ve had problems with him please reach out to me I may be able to help you. This guy should not be allowed to practice law ever again!!!

Absolutely corrupt. I was charged for many things he did not do or refused to communication. For exame to review a settlememt offer that he NEVER GAVE TO ME!!!
He refused to answer my questions but would answer questions I did not ask.
So many underhanded tactics to mislead. He cancelled a trial date without telling me, stole thousands from me AFTER I fired him and took weeks doing so.
Flippant mocking instead of advising on issues. I caught him in numerous lies from one paragraph to the next he would speak out of both sides of his mouth. He's dishonest, illegal and corrupt. He created a far bigger issue.

I wish I can give All Stars in our Galaxy.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional work of Philip, the divorce lawyer, and his paralegal, Wendi. They were truly instrumental in guiding me through a challenging divorce process. From the start, Philip's expertise and professionalism shone through. Despite having previously switched lawyers twice, Philip made me feel at ease during our first meeting, assuring me that my case was not only manageable but also had strong potential for success. His intelligence and legal acumen were evident throughout the entire process, and he consistently demonstrated a high level of competence in handling my case. Furthermore, Wendi's promptness in responding to emails and her meticulous attention to detail greatly contributed to the smooth progress of my case. The polite and respectful manner in which Philip interacted with his clients, including myself, further exemplifies his dedication to providing excellent service. I am genuinely grateful to Philip and Wendi for their invaluable assistance, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a competent and professional divorce lawyer

If you want an overpriced dude who is aloof on deadlines, sits on important emails for weeks or months, doesn't take your concerns about your child's safety nor your concern for the other party's mental health seriously... well, this is your guy!
(Don't take my word for it. Call and ask for his voicemail. His outgoing message will tell you all you need to know about his promptness)
He received discovery request from opposing counsel and didn't send it until two months later, a full month after it was due back. Didn't wait on making sure to charge for it though!
Sat on an important email about schooling decisions until 9:30 the night before the deadline. What did the opposing party argue in court? That I'm not involved in our child's school because I wasn't adding to the conversation, when I wasn't even aware of the email until three weeks after it was sent!
Told him in our consultation there were serious concerns for mental health. Does he request mental health records in discovery after you continually express those concerns? Nope! After you express your discontent with that decision, does he file a second set of discovery? Yep, but after the deadline to compel — again, weeks later — so the other party didn't have to supply them.
Don't ask for an apology though, lest you get an incredibly ironic lecture in "accountability". I'm sure he will comment on this reply with something similar.
Maybe he will say you're uncooperative because you're upset with his lack of promptness. I'm sure his response to this review will be prompt though! Gotta keep up appearances, right?
Maybe your kid(s) will get lucky and be worthy of the money you're paying him. Don't bet on it though.

After I filed my complaint for dissolution of marriage pro se, my husband retained a “fathers’ rights” attorney who quickly turned our case into high conflict litigation. Because I knew that I needed an excellent family law attorney to move forward, I called Mr. Philip Katz, a Martindale-Hubbell Preeminent Lawyer with an AV rating, the highest level of professional excellence, skills and integrity.
Although I was a mess, Mr. Katz patiently listened my concerns and immediately started work on my case. Based on his vast experience and knowledge of how the judge might rule, Mr. Katz developed a legal argument that made it likely that the judge would rule in my favor. Opposing counsel came out swinging, but Mr. Katz, calm and persistent, presented the best legal argument and judge ruled in my favor.
For these reasons, I highly recommend Mr. Philip Katz to anyone looking for an attorney to represent them in a high conflict case. In my opinion, he is a Rockstar Litigator.

Jerry court hearings are public information. So you saying Unfortunately, your review does not present an accurate or fair picture of this firm is a dang lie because everything stated about your firm in the review calling you guys a circus and how Darren Pekny was embarrassed by a guy who doesn’t have a law degree and all your firm is filled with are money hungry jokes, is a very accurate statement and review and anyone can look it up if they wanted to. I believe it even stated you would try to lie to get people not to believe the review but unfortunately it’s the truth. I know for a fact your firm is more crooked than what was even said and unfortunately that information will eventually get out. Go ahead Jerry go have Darren tell the court about this like he did last time!!!!News flash Jerry the court won’t care just like they didn’t the last time! If I’m telling the truth about things nothing can happen to me and no one will care!

This circus is definitely not the place to go for an attorney especially if it’s Darren Pekny! If you’re looking to get a pair of big floppy shoes or a big red nose this is the place to go! Ethics???? Not in this tent! Morals????? Forget about it!!!!! Win the case for their clients????? Not happening!!!!!! Lying and Trying to ruin someone's life that doesn't deserve it???? YEP!!!!! They will do that! Being corrupt and having no ethics?????
That's their greatest trick!!!! I was not a client of this corrupt place but this firm lied and helped keep my daughter away from me when I didn't do anything I was blamed for. I got proof to show that. I’m not an attorney and I have done a better job in the courtroom than this clown named Darren! He tried to tell on me for things that I have said to him like what you are reading now, just because he knows he’s going to lose. He knows that no matter what the facts are the facts but will continue to lie just to get paid. Darren has no problem taking money from someone, knowing he won’t win a case against a guy who doesn’t have a law degree. If you want to laugh then Darren is your man because he is definitely one of the funniest jokes out there! If you want to be robbed of all your money this is your man as well! Don't forget your popcorn when you come to this circus! Darren seriously is a complete joke and you will lose a lot of money if you use this firm! They will reply to this to try to get people to not believe me but honestly if you retain this law firm you will be losing money so go find any other law firm out there! Here’s Darren at his best in the courtroom “well your honor I’m new to this case so” when in fact he’s been on the case for 6 months he just knew he looked dumb and then I put him in his place right in front of the judge! FACTS!

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. -
