If you're reading this, you’re likely facing some level of legal trouble. In that case, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing Conyers & Nix Law Firm. After consulting numerous law firms, I ultimately chose Jesse, and I can confidently say he is the best, at least one of the best, attorneys you could ever work with.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Professionalism at its finest – Jesse is highly responsive, always returning calls and messages within a day.
2️⃣ Compassionate yet relentless – He is incredibly understanding and supportive toward you, yet fiercely aggressive when dealing with the opposing party.
3️⃣ Transparent & fair pricing – His fees are reasonable, and he never misleads you with unrealistic expectations.
4️⃣ Integrity & honesty – He will never take on a case he knows he can’t handle just to make money, and he always gives you a clear, honest assessment of your situation.
In short, Jesse will be your strongest shield and your sharpest sword in legal battle. I personally give him my highest recommendation and will keep his number for life. If you need an attorney, Jesse is the one you want on your side.

Brent provided service better than I could have expected. First of all the outcome of my case was better than expected, actually the best outcome possible. But what was more important to me was Brent and Nick’s promptness, professionalism and patience. Being charged with a crime is a stressful thing and they understand that. They answered all of my phone calls, and made sure they took the time to make sure I felt I had the answers to every question I had.
These are the only lawyers I’m interested in hiring.

I can not praise Attorney Susanne Gustin enough!! She agreed to take my daughter’s case when every other attorney I spoke to told me there was no hope in reducing her class three felony charges. Thanks to Ms. Gustin’s knowledge of the law, her diligence in pursuing what is possible and a determination to see this situation through to the end, she was able to have my daughter’s felony charges reduced to Class A misdemeanors. This has given my daughter a new lease on life and now new opportunities will open up for her. She is an outstanding attorney and I’m extremely grateful to her!

BLUF: Susanne is the most exceptional advocate! My son faced the most horrific charges, which he was unable to confront due to a car accident and other traumatic events in his life. Susanne's knowledge and skills surpass all others, proving invaluable in navigating the judicial system. She restored my son's life by demonstrating the utmost respect, resourcefulness, and attentiveness. She answered every question and helped locate the crucial resources that led the court to determine that my son was incompetent and not restorable.

What can I say, Jarom was the best, most attentive, hard working attorney I have ever met. Communication throughout the whole process was amazing all times of the day. Quick to react to emails, calls, messages and more importantly to get the job done.
Being a non USA citizen we could’ve hit many obstacles which Jarom managed to navigate around exceptionally for the months that proceeded and followed, which ultimately resulted in the case being DISMISSED.
I've also never dealt with a professional more committed to my reassurance and guidance, while also in a timely manner. Thank you Jarom, for helping me navigate this process. I highly recommend Jarom for legal representation.
Can’t thank you enough!!!

Jonathan Nish represented my loved one in a very complex and difficult case. With no evidence to support our claims, it seemed like our dear one could be facing a life sentence. Throughout this challenging time, Jonathan was incredibly supportive and always available to us. He dedicated himself to finding a resolution. We were in need of a miraculous outcome, and I am both amazed and grateful to say that Jonathan delivered beyond our expectations! He is truly exceptional in his profession and, on top of that, a genuinely wonderful person.

Thank you to Jemming Law I was able to make an informed decision and come out on top because of the knowledge Mr. Jemming provided to me before hand. I know that Jemming Law is the best defense I could ask for and that I have put my faith in the right hands.

Before every step he lays out all of what is going to happen and is sure to answer any questions you need. Very timely to respond to inquiries or reach out if new information arises. Looked over the minor details of my case to bring up and use to my advantage. Did calls before court appearances to explain what advantages and disadvantages l there were in the case and after to explain what everything meant and any court jargon I was confused with. Acquired a surprising and positive verdict for me while showing honor and determination.

Jerry at Salcido Law Firm did miracles for my family. He treated my husband with kindness and respect. I only was able to meet with him once myself, but he was kind and knowledgeable toward me as well. He believed in my husband and fought hard for him. Jerry was able to get my husband a plea in abeyance. A few months from now and it will be like the whole court ordeal didn't even happen. My family is very grateful for Jerry and Salcido Law Firm and would highly recommend them.

I wish I could fully convey my thoughts about Scott. Scott took on my case midway through the process when my previous attorney quit my divorce. I found myself in a really bad spot having to find a new attorney that was willing to go to trial with a judge that was not in my favor, and against my ex’s attorney who was free. Scott had good graces knowing that I came from an attorney that honestly loathed him, and he took up my banner in the middle of his heavy case load. I cannot tell you how indebted to him and his team for making the impossible possible.
By the time my trial came my case had been completely revamped. His partner Mckail worked diligently on my exhibits for my case and spent the time to really prepare all my witnesses before trial. We walked in to court with a better case than I had in the last year, and Scott’s acumen in the trial was shrewd and well informed. His arguments consistently met with the approval of the judge, and he deftly handled my ex’s attorney when they tried to sneak in testimony that was underhanded.
In the end I got what I fought for two years for, my kids and the equal right to be involved in their lives. My children and I are the direct benefactors of Scott’s skills and help. I absolutely give my recommendation to Scott as an attorney worth working with.

He's very knowledgeable and very professional. He's always taken the time to meet with me, listen to the details of my case and has offered helpful instructions to help me navigate through it all. I will definitely think of him first any time I may need counsel and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney!

We all make mistakes; some of us make illegal ones. being caught is horrifying. Your fate is left in someone else’s hands, and you have little control of what the consequences of your actions will be. It’s like having the lights turned off, it’s pitch black and you can’t find the light switch. Mr. Metos was my light switch. He was patient, non-judgmental, and the best in his field, which is exactly what you want when you find yourself in this type of situation. Fred was able to negotiate a minimal amount of time for my sentence; I received three months which could have been 15 years. Seven years after serving my sentence, Fred was able to have my record expunged. Life is good; I owe a great deal of my success and happiness after that dark period in my life to Fred.

While waiting to see if I would be charged on false allegations made by my daughter against me (together with her lesbian lover), I had a couple of other criminal attorneys representing me pre-filing who were taking a wait and see approach--not a good idea.

I hired Mr. Ferbreche to handle my husbands criminal cases. I had spoken to a couple of other lawyers in my search for the right one for us and after the first consultation with Greg Ferbrache I knew he was the one. He was extremely knowledgeable in the law and after he had a couple of days with our case he knew the case well and started working to get us the very best outcome possible. In the end the case closed much better than we expected. While the case was going on he responded to our calls and text in a timely manner and answered our questions in simple terms so we could fully understand everything. He was in tune to our personal needs to get things resolved so we could get back to our lives again. We are both very pleased with the outcome and would hire Mr. Ferbrache again if ever the need arose.

I had a deeply disappointing experience with Boyack Christiansen Legal Solutions during my divorce. From the very beginning, it felt like I had no one truly advocating for me. Despite the fact that there were no kids involved, and my ex had her own business — a business I helped build by putting her through college, paying her business taxes, and funding her overhead costs — she still walked away with all the proceeds from the house sale.
What’s worse, I had to do most of the negotiating myself. My lawyer seemed disinterested and unmotivated. I was the one who fought to reduce the alimony (indentured servitude) from 20 years to 10. Meanwhile, my ex had a legal team that was clearly fighting for her every step of the way. The imbalance was undeniable.
The situation only got worse. I was falsely accused of cheating — a blatant tactic used for leverage — and found myself surrounded by females who showed no interest in challenging those claims. I had no male representation, and it felt like my voice was ignored.
If you’re looking for a law firm that will fight for you, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Boyack Christiansen Legal Solutions left me feeling isolated, unsupported, and ultimately worse off than I should have been. I would not recommend them to anyone in need of real advocacy.

I have never been so discriminated against as today!
As soon as I enter to the office, the receptionist started talking to me in Spanish, telling me that I had to borrow a computer from a relative or go to a library with Wi-Fi to fill out a form.
Assuming I didn't have a computer!!!
immediately after she gave me a list of people who give free consultations, and who did not charge for their service.
Again assuming I didn’t have money.
She told me that the lawyer was very busy and probably couldn't help me because she didn't speak Spanish.
Assuming I didn’t speak English!
and that it would be better if I called someone on the list that she gave me.
I am a business owner and I am pretty sure I have more money than she will ever see in her whole life, have 3 computers and was looking for that attorney because I could pay for her consultation and her service.
So sad that this firm has a person like this woman at the front desks. Assuming for what she sees and sending the business to someone else.
I will not bring my business to this firm
This is not a good place for anyone

Called multiple times to get assistance with a case. No reply back. Their automated message kept insisting I use their online consultation form so I filled that out and got an email that basically stated my case doesn't fit their criteria even though they advertise in practicing in the exact type of law that I need. Sucks to hear since they were referred to me. I still haven’t talked to a human at their office so they can hear my story.

Soooo, I am curious -
Last year, I chose out of an insanely complex domestic violence situation. Unfortunately, it took two moves and fleeing to a shelter to get away.
The first apartment that I left in 2023, was in the middle of management changes when I had to leave -
The management that was leaving was made aware that there had been domestic violence, that I had somewhere else to go, and that I needed to leave -
But I was not getting emails or calls back, and the office was closed for extended periods of time, etc...
Because of the severity of the situation and the urgency to create safety for my family, I ended up leaving, and moving into housing.
In November, I got a letter in the mail from The Law Offices of Kirk A. Cullimore, suing me for breaking the lease. They want almost $10K from me.
I know VAWA is a federal law and the most recent time that I had to leave my housing unit, the management just gave me some papers to fill out and then they moved me to a new place.
I got approved for Victims of Crime assistance in June last year, but I didnt know that I would be receiving an almost $10K lawsuit for breaking my lease due to domestic violence. Sometimes those offices help with relocation costs- But I didnt ask for that at that time because I didnt have this then.
My offender is currently in jail, and I am working to get a protective order and legally change my name, however...
In the meantime, I have a lawsuit coming at me for 10K that if I had, I still wouldnt give them.
I really need some guidance here, because it kinda feels like theyre harrassing me, but I dont know my rights.
