I started a time sharing/custody case without any knowledge of the legal processes or procedures. Ohle & Ohle, specifically Mrs. Ohle, not only walked me through the process, but set appropriate expectations and time frame guidelines. Through her knowledge and guidance, we navigated through the lengthy legal process with relative ease. We remained highly organized and confidently prepared from the beginning through to trial…all of which helped yield the most favorable results in the best interest of the children. I would highly recommend Ohle & Ohle!

Wow! Sometimes all you need is for someone to just listen. Leanne Ohle did exactly that and so much more! Her compassion and honesty makes her stand out as a Family Law Attorney and her expert advice brought me more peace than I’ve felt in years. Thank you so much Leanne!

I had a consult with Leanne Ohle and hired her for a divorce. My experience in working with her was very poor as communication was very limited, office was rarely open, and she was slow to answer. I found her to be abrasive. I would not recommend her.

I reached out to Adam after a misdemeanor battery charge. He was compassionate, informative of the entire process and immediately reassured me that things would work out bringing me a peace of mind I didn’t think I could have at that time in my life. He answered all of my questions, worries, and text messages at all hours of the day and worked fast and efficiently getting my charges dropped. I never had to step foot in a court room! I truly cant thank him enough 🙏

I had a consult with R.J. yesterday because I was concerned how my current divorce lawyer was handling my case bec she seemed a bit too friendly with my ex's lawyer who she knew. R.J kindly gave me his time and listened to my concerns and told me that he would gladly accept my case, but he thought my lawyer is doing the right thing by me and my kids. Now, that is a response from a highly intelligent, fair-minded attorney. If anything does happen with my current lawyer, I will be retaining R.J. because he's honest, straightforward and cares about the children involved in high conflict cases. I've interviewed at least 25 lawyers over my case and R.J. definitely stands out in a very good way.

My daughter and I were referred to Gene by our family attorney following a severe automobile accident. He and his staff were always incredibly responsive, timely, and supportive during this very difficult time. His team and the result exceeded our expectations. I will absolutely recommend Zweben Law Group to any one that needs a personal injury or wrongful death attorney. Thanks Gene

If you have a complex case, lost your faith in the judiciary or the system or have had past experiences of prejudice or ineffective counsel leaving you doubtful of ever finding that one attorney, who will fight for your cause, demand fairness and willing to go the distance? Your search is over. You can not find better representation. Counsel Williams, along with Tina restored our faith in the process and our entire family, will stand on these words. "You will not be disappointed" What a blessing! Thanks Again, Williams Law, P. L.

Josh has been spectacular from the moment we first spoke. Not only is he extremely methodical and detail orientated. He listens, understands, and fully has your best interest at heart. I was impressed by his consistency and dedication to fight for my case. Josh advised me on the facts and potential outcomes, he did not once convey any untrue information or give me false hope. Josh successfully won the wishes I was hoping for!

Terrible. Called Robert R. in November. We spoke. He asked for some documentation which I promptly sent. He has never called back. I left at several messages and even asked the receptionist to relay what was the issue if anything. No response. And my documentation was not even returned. Would not recommend this firm.

Tim represented me on a DBA injury case and I would highly recommend his representation to anyone needing counsel and representation on their injury case. I inquired into a few other attorneys representation and decided to go with Tim as he was the most immediately involved from the start and was right there with me throughout the whole process. Tim was always straightforward with me about my case, even when it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear. However, he respected my position anyway and fought for my requests; even though his initial advising was spot-on and aligned with the end results. His experience and knowledge in DBA/injury law is first-class. I am very grateful for the representation that Tim and his team provided me with and would highly recommend anyone needing representation to reach out to Tim and inquire about their specific case.

Tim was the hired attorney who represented me during a very contentious time with my son's mother over the details of our child support and time sharing agreement which had to be amended during a career transition 10 years ago. He represented me strongly and I felt that my best interests were always being looked out for. Recently, I consulted Tim again as my son has decided to reside with me for the remainder of his time in high school. Tim gave me excellent advice on how best to achieve this without incurring excessive financial burden. He referred me to a Mediator who was able to help me achieve this goal without officially involving attorneys for this cycle. I highly recommend his counsel as he will give you the best advice even if it doesn't benefit his practice directly.

I hired Ms. Prinz to represent me in the settlement of my mother's estate and trust. She was very knowledgeable and provided prompt service, all at a very reasonable price. My wife and I also subsequently hired Ms. Prinz to prepare out own estate planning documents, and were very pleased with the outcome. Our documents were very thorough, were completed very quickly, and were cost effective.

It is with great pleasure and admiration, that I highly recommend Ms. Dawn Alba attorney-at-law for her exceptional work in handling my case/legal matters.
What should have been a minor grievance quickly escalated into what might’ve been a disaster. After feeling overwhelmed, I immediately contacted Ms. Alba’s law office where she personally answered my call.
She patiently listened to my case and without hesitation, examined the facts, then diligently went to work.
By the end of that day, she was able to masterfully prepare an exceptional plan/strategy that would ultimately lead to my victory.
Her confidence/expertise in her field was a pleasure to witness.
I am forever grateful for her unwavering ability to work tirelessly
on my behalf ….
making sure I was always treated with dignity and finally in the end made to feel whole.
I now believe that there are
“Forever Angels” sent down from above….

Patricia Sciarrino is very fast paced and completely by the book. I needed to get through mediation and I was referred to her. She let me explain my situation and what I wanted to come from mediation and it was nice to just sit back and let her handle everything. She is very friendly and understanding, and looks at things from both points of view, which helped me get a better understanding of what I should or should not do. She is very easy to get a hold of whenever I had questions. I highly recommend her, and see her worth being every penny I spent!

He constantly was in communication with me and also managed to make things happen. They make a great team. You will not be sorry if you choose them.

Michelle was a great mediator. She patiently managed a highly emotional and often irrational situation with grace and kindness. Even when anger and pain brought raised voices, her calm focus brought forth the desired result...agrement! Not an agreement that either party was completely happy with, but maybe that is the definition of a fair agreement. I would highly recommend Michelle as a mediator.

Ms. Kohn did an outstanding brokering a mediation agreement in my dissolution of marriage case. I arrived at her office thinking my case would drag out through the summer months, but instead I left her office three hours later with a very satisfactory, signed mediation agreement. I owe all of this to Ms. Kohn's professional competence and experience. I am forever grateful for her being able to break through what I was certain would be a laborious and lengthy impasse. In a word, Ms. Kohn is efficacious.

I engaged James Ferraro after interviewing several attorneys in multiple counties. I knew instantly he was the perfect fit to handle my unexpected case. Throughout this emotional time for my family, Mr. Ferraro and his firm demonstrated sincere compassion, always with the best interest of the children at the forefront of their efforts. His extraordinary knowledge fully prepared me to protect myself and my children with solidarity and strength. Although I am a professional and had my own arsenal of information and evidence at hand, James covered areas that I never knew might be an issue. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his help, and recommend his services and his firm with the utmost assurance.

I was recommended to John by a friend who had been in a case where John was the opposing attorney. My friend told me after losing the case that John was a real gentleman and honest. After interviewing with him I have used his office for the last 14 years for several real estate transactions and family law because I know he is fair but bulldog tough. HIs ethics are impeccable. I would not go to court without consulting him. It is my observation that he is well respected in the christian community and in the courtroom. His office staff are very professional and personable. I recommed his services very highly.

After 10 years of a nasty divorce & custody battle, Lisa Batts and her firm took my case and have impressed me beyond words. I feel like they stepped in at the 11th hour, but they got up to speed and prepared more than I expected. With their help, I felt ready and informed. Lisa's counsel has proven wise, helped us avoid court a few times over smaller issues and when the big hearing finally happened, Lisa was incredible in court! I highly recommend this firm!

Hi, My name is Kristine.
1 year ago I had 2 unexpected major surgeries and 2 ER visits.
This situation put me in a heugh financial dilemma on which is how I came to call on the office of Randall Fischer.
Karen and I spoke, we met with Randall and developed a game plan for my overwhelming circumstances. I had "no" idea what I was getting into, but, it was made aware to me right away that I was in the right hands. After a very long time {because to the covid and the courts being closed} my date and court case was handled and done.
Randall, Karen and Cory will be on my radar in the future forever for all the help and peace of mind they have given me,
The process was stressful but, they made it easier in the sense that I felt love on. Randall and Karen coached me through every step. When the actual time came for me to answer all those questions I was ready. I hope that I or any one else for that matter has to deal with a Chapter 7, BUT, if do make sure you call on this team.

I am so thankful to Karen Steger and her staff. I suffer from PTSD due to an abusive 23-year marriage. I was so scared to file for a divorce. I quit on Karen a few times but she never quit on me. She got me the best settlement she could under difficult circumstances. You are not just a client to Karen because she cares about you as a person. I know I was very difficult for her to deal with. She took this all in stride and forged ahead. I think the fee she charged was reasonable and she allowed me to make payments. I truly owe Karen my life as she set me free from a nightmare. She is extremely well versed in the law and presents herself as a true professional. Please do not hesitate to hire Karen Steger she changed my whole life and she will do the same for you!

I hired the best divorce lawyer, Karen Steger. Once you retain Karen Steger, she and her office staff, will start working for you by serving your soon to be ex as quickly as possible. Make sure you contact the office for any questions, such as, to get clarity about filling out the packet, if you need to put a temporary ‘hold’ on the serving process because unexpected things came up, when will your stbx get served, and/or general questions about the divorce process. The office welcomes your communication so they can do the best for your situation during this difficult time.

I had a highly disappointing experience with Edward Galante as my attorney. Throughout my case, there was a consistent lack of communication and responsiveness. Critical questions about my legal matters went unanswered, and I often felt sidelined and ignored. His approach seemed more focused on closing the case quickly rather than addressing the issues at hand, leading to unresolved discrepancies and unnecessary frustration. I would not recommend his services if you are looking for an attorney who provides clear guidance, timely communication, and dedicated attention to your case.

Mr. Galante and Abby were very compassionate, patient and helpful in my divorce. They understood my angle of wanting to offer reconciliation first and were willing to try my ideas while offering very sound advice and experience. They answered all of my questions, even the silly ones, with patience and care. They answered when I called or got back to me asap. They also continued to encourage me through the divorce when my ex-wife had rejected reconciliation and they had made the rest of the process smooth and in the best interest of both parties. Words can’t express how grateful I am to God that He led me to Mr. Galante. I would recommend Mr. Galante to anybody who is looking for a lawyer that will invest time, compassion, and understanding into their situation.

My family hired Jason Berger to represent us in a minor child name change. He handled our case with professionalism and kindness. He was thorough with our case and handled everything above and beyond our expectations. Communication with us in regards to our case was exceptional. His assistant Nancy was always available to answer our calls and give Jason our information.
On the day of our court hearing I watched Mr. Berger arrive early to get our name on the top of the court roster for the morning.
Our case was heard and the minor's name was changed. Everything went smoothly.
Birth certificates were easily picked up from the office.
Mr. Berger showed great concern for our case and shared in the excitement of the final outcome.

Jason provided outstanding legal representation on my case. I was completely uneducated in the family law arena.

I would recommend Jason as a family law attorney to all of my friends and family. Excellent job!

Jason Berger has been representing me in a custody matter. I cannot say enough great things that would appropriately express the outstanding job he has done for me and my family. From our first consultation until today, he has been so much more than a great attorney. He has been a source of support, guidance, and information that is absolutely indispensable. Jason along with the rest of the staff, have always been 100% honest and upfront with me about the law, my options, and what my best course of action would be.and every single thing he has ever told me has turned out to be exactly how the courts have decided things should be. I firmly believe that without the representation of Jason there is a strong possibility I would not have custody of my child. I value him so much more than an attorney. He is truly a friend and counselor in my life.

This is very difficult to write a negative review.

Update: Take ownership Mike; no excuses! My wife and I had an unfortunate experience with Crary Buchanan regarding the handling of our case. The firm fired my wife as a client simply because I requested to speak to the managing partner Mr. Mike Crary pertaining to the poor communication we received from our attorney Jeff Saunders; he was not attentive and almost impossible to communicate with directly. He misrepresented the case to the defendants which possibly undermined our position. My feeling is this firm loves personal injury cases and smaller paying clients do not receive the attention they deserve as protected by legal standards. I strongly advise against using their services.

He does NOT represent me, and will not return any emails, or answer his office phone, as HE DOES NOT HAVE TOO. This is coming from a worried mother, our child is being exposed to awful events. Mr. Rogers does nothing but allow his client to continue to put our child in danger. If you want your child safe DO NOT CHOOSE HIM.

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. -
