My boyfriend was going through a divorce and without going into details there was no way we could work it out with someone who was hungry for money. We were referred to Tyler by another attorney and after speaking with him at the free consultation we decided to have him represent my bfd. Tyler did a very fine job in a difficult situation. We spent little money way less than I expected. This group of attorneys come with a very recommendation from me. Good job!

Dana Carlson is a terrific attorney. She is a perfect example of what every attorney should strive to be.

DO NOT USE! EVER! UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. would give 0 stars if i could. I hired Mr. Tourkow to represent me in a custody case. He charged me a standard $1500 retainer the first day, and I did not hear from him again until the day before I had court, even though I had reached out multiple times. He assured me everything was fine, and in order. The next day, I call him 2 hours before court to see if he needs anything at all from me (he spent no time with me or asking about the case what so ever). I can only reach his assistant (as always, this is typical) and she informed me that no, Mr Tourkow would not be coming to court with me today, because he had a scheduled foot surgery that he has known about for months! I was outraged! So, after a few moments of shuffling, and asking me if they could call right back, she assured me everything was fine and that I should go to court as normal and someone would handle it. I show up, and they had sent a female attorney who knew and had absolutely nothing about my case, not to mention, SHE WAS STRICTLY A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND DIDNT EVEN WORK IN FAMILY LAW!!!! I looked absolutely ridiculous in court and she literally stood up and walked out at the end without even speaking to me. I emailed them later that day, informing them that I was no longer in need of their services and to stop contacting me and to forward all information regarding the case back to me. I immediately started receiving nasty phone calls repeatedly and two days later i had a sticky note on my door saying "CALL ME BACK ASAP" and a bill for $5800 for "services rendered" and that was to be paid on top of my $1500 retainer Mr. Tourkow was keeping. In the itemized area of the 5800$ bill, it was included that a $680 charge for driving to my house to leave the bill on my door (I lived less than 2 miles from his office) and labeled it as EMERGENCY VISIT TO CLIENTS RESIDENCE** why that couldnt be mailed, or emailed, is not only NOT my problem, but not worth 680 dollars to anyone and a complete and utter joke. I find it all even MORE interesting that after they realized I wasnt going to answer them anymore or entertain threatening phone calls, I never heard another thing, and have still to this day (a year later) have not seen anything ever reported to ANY credit agencies that I owe them money which leads me to believe, theyre FULLY aware of how shady and predatory they are being with these charges. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable attorney who cares about clients needs. This attorney is a disgrace, waste of time, waste of 1500$, and even if im the only one like this, i cant see him handling even his most important of cases much better. He just wants your money.

Lydia was great to work with! She is one of the best attorneys I’ve worked with. The secretary is super friendly. Definitely will come to this firm for counsel again!

Angelica Fuelling has been amazing to work with...

If I could give a 0 rating, I probably would. I contacted Jim Yankoski in December 2021. (Well, actually in 2019 and we lost contact for some reason.) My fiancé was trying to adopt my 14 year old son. He did well at first, but I would check in randomly to see if there was any update or if he filed papers with the court and I would hear nothing back. He assured me that he would have it done before my son’s 15th birthday, which was in June of 2022, and nothing was accomplished. I had really wanted to push it and get things going before my son started school again in August 2022. You guessed it. Nothing. He completely ghost me in September. No updates. No papers filed. No adoption. A complete waste of time after several years.

DO NOT EVER USE. THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKS. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR EVEN PHONE CALLS THE ASSISTANT MAKES TO YOU. THEY WILL CREATE FALSE CHARGES. THEY WILL SAY YOU OWE THEM THOUSANDS AND THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN ACTUALLY SHOW UP TO COURT WITH YOU. RUn

Very good experience with this law firm. Would use them for any law related matters

Dealing with Stan and Don has been very easy in a stressful situation

They don’t return phone calls, won’t give their own clients direct contact information and then charge for phone calls when you ask for the same things over and over. Not a good experience here

My attorney is Jim Yankowski, and I can assure you there is a viable reason why they are highly rated; Jim and his assistant Katie are extremely professional, but also are very caring folks as well. Hire this firm only if you want the best representation Fort Wayne has to offer.
