I had the privilege of working with an extraordinary legal team who not only exceeded my expectations but also became like family to me. From the very beginning, their kindness, commitment, and compassion were evident. They didn't just represent me; they fought for me tirelessly until the very end.
Throughout my legal journey, they were a constant source of support and guidance, there for me at every step of the way. Their dedication to my case went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. It's not often that you come across professionals who truly care about their clients on a personal level, but my lawyers did just that.
Thanks to their expertise and unwavering dedication, I was able to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. I can't express how grateful I am to have found them. If you're in need of legal representation that combines exceptional skill with genuine compassion, look no further. My lawyers are the epitome of excellence in their field, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Without boring you with the specifics.. I was looking at a mandatory minimum of 2 years in prison. It all stemmed from a road rage incident FROM THE OTHER GUY. I defended myself from harm and even called 911. However, the man was most likely connected with the law enforcement community as there were 3 Michigan State Police cars outside my house when I arrived home. Needless to say, I was a little concerned. I needed a reputable criminal attorney that knew their stuff. I maintain my innocence, but try convincing the State Police and Prosecutor’s Office of that when they KNEW THE GUY (in my humble opinion.) I instantly hired Derrick George. I think I visited his office twice with information and statements about the incident. Now, I don’t know HOW he did it but Derrick George, Magic Man, stopped everything BEFORE the Prosecutor’s Office even looked at the incident. No trial. No pre-prosecution diversion, NOTHING! I even got a phone call from the State Police saying everything was fine. Mind you, that was after the original meeting when 3 state troopers were sweating me hard and searching my house, etc. I believe to this day that the phone call from them was a form of an apology for being overzealous. Without Derrick George on my side, who knows what might’ve happened. He is friendly, knowledgeable and most all CARING. His connections are undeniable. If you find yourself in a jam, don’t make a terrible mistake and hire a subpar attorney, hire somebody that has your back. Thank you Derrick. You are a life saver. Footnote: I fully support the Michigan State Police and all law enforcement in general.

Mr. George was there for me every step of the way. Gave me good direction and even got my charge knocked down from a Super Drunk OWI to an OWVI. Absolutely recommended.

I switched to Findling Law after getting frustrated with my first divorce attorney and I’m so very glad I did!
Daniel and his staff jumped right in, quickly assessed my situation, and began taking action immediately. He clearly explained everything he was doing and why it was being done. He is very knowledgeable and was sensitive to my needs. He exceeded my expectations and I’m very happy with my settlement
Thank you Daniel and the Findling Law team!

If you're looking for someone fluffy, this is not the attorney for you. He's down-to-earth, honest, trustworthy and, a bit brash at times, but if you need something done, this is your guy. He's assisted our family in several matters, from divorce, custodianship, guardianship, will prep and conservatorships. I highly recommend.

Melder & Melder has assisted myself and family with several items from divorce, real-estate and bankruptcy over the last few years. Aric Melder is not only well versed with many different legal matters but an excellent litigator for all of them. He is responsible, ethical and you can count on him and the firm to get the job done. The firm cares about their clients and go out of their way to take care of them. Their fees are very competitive. It is hard to find the right attorney, for a price you can afford. Melder & Melder surpassed my expectations and am confident that they will do the same for their other clients as well.

Amanda represented me during my divorce and I am extremely happy with the final outcome. Any divorce is messy and scary - Amanda reviewed the facts of the complaint and then set about explaining the process and the steps that needed to be taken. Her obvious professionalism and knowledge were reassuring and provided the peace of mind I badly needed.
My divorce had some messy sticking points (I considered them unreasonable demands) that had to be addressed during Mediation; this is where Amanda really shined. She clearly demonstrated her ability to think outside the box and offered some very innovative alternatives to the demands. The end result was a settlement that exceeded my most optimistic hopes.
Throughout the process, Amanda has earned my respect and trust. Her professionalism, knowledge, creativity and personal standards are remarkable. I wholly endorse Amanda and recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation for any family law matter.

I was involved in a lawsuit for several thousand dollars in unpaid rent that I thought had been paid by my former roommate. Ms. Carnagie was able to walk me through all the paperwork and fully explain my options. She negotiated with the apartment complex and was able to reach a settlement which I could afford. I am extremely grateful for all her help in the situation!

I hired Randy because I was facing a 1st DUI charge. He was honest about the facts of my case(the good, bad and the ugly) from start to finish. He combed through everything: audio/visual, roadside test results and certifications, background, etc.
He is a great communicator and was readily available to answer any questions I had...talk, text or email- he was there.
I ended up with a reduced charge and NO probation. Highly recommend!

I recently had the privilege of working with Ruth Goldner on a complex custody case, and I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise and dedication. From the outset, she demonstrated a level of professionalism and compassion that immediately put me at ease during what was a highly stressful time.
Ruth was not only thorough in her approach, but also exceptionally communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain every step of the legal proceedings, ensuring I fully understood my options and the potential outcomes. Her transparency gave me a sense of control and confidence, which was invaluable during such an emotionally charged situation.
What truly sets Ruth apart is her genuine kindness and commitment to her clients. She listened attentively to my concerns and priorities, making me feel truly heard and understood. Her empathy combined with her unwavering dedication to my case reassured me that I was in the best possible hands.
Moreover, Ruth is incredibly detail-oriented, leaving no stone unturned in preparing for the case. Her meticulous approach ensured that every aspect was thoroughly addressed, which ultimately led to a successful resolution.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Her professionalism, communication skills, transparency, and kindness make her an outstanding advocate. She not only navigated the legal complexities with expertise but also provided the emotional support that was crucial throughout the process. Working with Ruth was a privilege, and I am immensely grateful for her guidance during a challenging time in my life.

I can't say enough good things about David, Celina and the rest of his team. From start to finish he was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, and maybe most importantly, compassionate. He took time to understand my case and truly get to know me as a person, not just a client. David was tough enough to get things done promptly and with my best interest in mind, but also quite fair so the whole process ran smoothly and without any extra stress for either party. I felt safe and confident with David in my corner and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful attorney.

I highly recommend him to anyone to have Mr. Debene represent them in any legal matters they are having.

Prompt, Professional, and Pragmatic. Darren Findling at The Probate Pro called Monday following my Sunday voicemail requesting their probate consultation. Discovered them via their YouTube channel which is excellent and worth watching. Their telephone consult was informative and appreciated as they asked how they could help, patiently heard me out, provided factual answers, then once again patiently listened through my synthesis of their answers and clarified in return for my better understanding, which led to my feeling well heard and well informed. They were professional, cordial, and factual. At the conclusion of our call they wished me well in the process of probate and welcomed me to call back if I felt that their services could be of help. To be clear; my telephone only experience with Darren was remarkable, so much so, that I’m leaving this positive review for others to read. Best of luck to all of you in the probate process and my greatest life pro tip for anyone reading is: avoid probate at all costs possible and inform yourself, your family, and anyone whom you care for about the benefits of the “living trust” and how these instruments of the law are something that everyone ought to know about and consider having created, not for themselves, but rather for those who they care for in the wake of their passing. In my opinion; your trust is the best possible investment that you will never experience the benefit in return. Your family will thank you! -C.L., Metro Detroit, Michigan 09SEP24

I made contact regarding a will consult, Darren was through, informative and honest. Giving me a nice synopsis of what my situation likely would look like and how he could help without insighting fear or trying to push me into an unnecessary situation
to increase the billing. Despite the situation, I'm looking forward to them helping me bring closure and with future estate planning...
Correction...5 stars for the telephone consult for sure

After having two lawyers who did a less than mediocre job in representing me during my divorce, I was extremely concerned about returning to the FOC to seek a reduction in child support as my earlier attempts had all failed. I recently returned to the court with Jeniece as my counsel, and as nervous as I was, Jeniece came well prepared to make sure that I had a fair day in court. Jeniece is both personable and professional. She kept me informed during the entire process and at no time did I ever feel short of answers.
It's good to know that there are good lawyers who aren't just about the money. I would most definitely call on Jeniece again should the need arise.

Jeniece was very helpful to me during the entire process of my divorce. She worked closely with me to negotiate and manage the case in a way that kept things very civil and reasonable, rather than fighting every point just to fight. She genuinely listened to what I wanted to accomplish and helped me accomplish it. I found her very responsive and easy to work with, and have recommended her since to others.

I have known Harsha for more than 5 years now and in the beginning he has represented me on a few minor moving violations/traffic tickets with 100% success rate.
A few years ago, I was charged with a serious criminal misdemeanor with a high likelihood of a less favorable outcome. I was worried about the consequences as both my personal and professional life was in jeopardy. Harsha defended me with utmost professionalism and remarkable work ethic. He did not give me any false hope, instead he was transparent with his action plan and explained all possible outcomes. His thorough and meticulous work resulted in the charge being dropped without any prosecution. In return he charged me what I believe was a modest fee for the amount of time he spent on my case.
I am eternally grateful to Harsha for his services and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone seeking legal advice.
Harsha is an intellectual and a good man. Talk to him or meet the man in person, you would learn that in no time.

I’ve had very bad experience with this attorney. It started off well but very soon realized his lack of capabilities in representing a client in the court. Unprepared and not thorough in his strategy. The worst part was filing for withdrawal from attorney service at the nick of time, it was more like a threat than a request.
I would not recommend him at all.

My experience with Greenstone Legal Group was excellent and heartwarming. They seemed to have suffered multiple attacks after I started reacting to Capital One's [not known for hiring the best people] harassment campaign.
The conflict with Capital One was published on December 31st, 2023. Also on that day, it seemed like the entire past of the US Army had possessed my spirit to chant the best possible cadence my lungs could muster.
It's funny how there was a Green Beret on the bus as I joked about calling Capital One and threatening them for abusing their late payment fees immediately after I signed my contract.

Please, if you read this-and many other- review stating that Greenstone is terrible and not to get involved, BELIEVE THEM!!! Greenstone Legal Group is nothing but a scam, 100%. Yo make a long story short, we entered into an agreement with them to help negotiate some debt settlement and after 15 months of paying into the program…..nothing. We received several offers to settle or debt from the creditors which we promptly turned over to Greenstone only to have them do nothing. Then we received a summons from court after discovering that one of the creditors was suing us. We turned that promptly over to them also. Their whole spiel is that they are there to protect you from collection efforts while trying to negotiate settlements. Well they failed. Just recently we received a letter from the court stating that the creditor had won their case against us for “failure to contact the court or respond to the summons”. So basically, Greenstone did nothing! They keep about half the money that you send as “payment for services rendered” however, it is plain to see that they don’t actually render anything but lies. We have since canceled our agreement with them. We did get some money back but only about half of what we put in. And we negotiated directly with the creditors and had deals to pay half the original debt in one day. Wonder why Greenstone couldn’t have done that. I implore you to stay far far away from this group. They will tell you nothing but lies and rob you of your money.

And we negotiated directly with the creditors and had deals to pay half the original debt in one day. Wonder why Greenstone couldn’t have done that. I implore you to stay far far away from this group. They will tell you nothing but lies and rob you of your money.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
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. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
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. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
