Atty. Burke was from the moment we met absolutely professional and showed me a high level of security and empathy like I never experienced before. I had gone through two other local attorneys neither of which did anything for me. Atty. Burke was able to handle my case with optimism and such respect. His dedication and determination were clear to me. He was always honest, something I appreciated very much. He explained every single step we would take and recommended nothing but the best advices which helped our case land a positive outcome for me and my family. He was very knowledgeable and helped me win my case. I will forever be grateful for all his hard work and support at such difficult times. I recommend Brian as your family attorney 100%. Michelle

Colleen helped us when we bought our 1st home in 2020. We highly recommend her law firm . We knew nothing about house buying and she is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of it . Colleen kept us in the correct price point (even when I wanted to go in another direction). She sent us homes that she knew we would want to look at . The communication was clear & she helped us with even connecting with a mortgage person . She went above and beyond . We highly recommend her for any one looking for an honest realtor who has your best interest in mind .

We worked with Patricia Lenzner over the course of the last three years on a very complicated family case. Ms. Lenzner was our saving grace in this case. She immersed herself fully in every aspect of our case, and by final trial time knew it just as well as we did. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and made all the difference in our very convoluted situation. She was quick, thoughtful, incredibly intelligent, and completely honest at every twist and turn. She has a complete and thorough understanding of everything that goes on in the family court system, and is very forthcoming about what can and can’t be done. She works harder than any attorney I have ever met, and I would give her more stars if Google would let me.

My husband was suffering with mental illness, and had been diagnosed with dementia on top of that. He was a brilliant man, and at this time of his life, had taken action to meet with this lawyer( Patricia Lenzner, Owens & Perkins) - regarding "divorce" when we had an argument (he had totaled a car, gave me his license, and then - dementia and memory loss - wanted it back a month later, and I refused to give it to him). He actually filed and gave a deposit, then changed his mind 2 days later. 48 hours. This dishonest attorney, went ahead and filed anyway, after he had cancelled - causing distress to both my husband and me, as well as significant financial loss. I can only surmise, she wanted her money, rather than doing the right thing. When she called me to tell me, I asked "how can you in good conscience do this, if he's been diagnosed with two mental imbalances, bipolar one and dementia"? Facts regarding his health did not matter to her. He suffered, tremendously, and so did our family. He recently passed on. I have intended to write this honest review, to warn good people to seek counsel elsewhere.

My sincerest apologies to the DeTommaso Law Group as this review is 10 months overdue. My divorce lasted approximately a year and was extremely challenging at times. However, I have to say that my attorney Katrina handled me with care and compassion throughout the experience. Her conduct along with that of the firm was very professional throughout. Although I hope to never again need their services :), I would highly recommend hiring this firm.

A Compassionate and Skilled Divorce Lawyer I wholeheartedly recommend Taryn R. Zimmerman for anyone navigating the challenges of divorce. Taryn expertly guided me through a grueling 55-month divorce process. Throughout this difficult time, Taryn was consistently accessible and supportive, offering calming advice that proved spot-on time and again. Her expertise and reassurance helped me stay grounded, even when frustrations ran high. While I didn't entirely agree with the judge's decision, I recognize the inherent difficulties in such rulings. Ultimately, Taryn's dedication and skill ensured the best possible outcome under the circumstances. Thanks to Taryn, I've emerged stronger, happier, and living my best life. Her advocacy and support were instrumental in salvaging my well-being and securing a stable future. Highly Recommended!

Michael and the entire team at DeTommaso Law Group were an absolute pleasure to work with. When I began, I could not have imagined the process to be so seamless and stress-free. Their sound advise, legal acumen and overall sensitivity during a particularly trying time is something I cannot thank them enough for. All of my requirements and expectations in settling the case were met and resolved in the most dignified manner. I shall always think of Michael as my "savior" and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to settle a legal issue through a respectable and efficient process. Thank you, yet again :)

One fact that people should realize about internet reviews is that they are not always accurate, can be misleading and unfairly critical, especially the negative ones. In family law, cases can be challenging and complex. As a client of Jim Keil for an extended period of time involving a contentious and complex case I hope my perspective of Jim Keil as an attorney may be helpful for others. As a client you need an attorney with attributes of integrity and honesty, as well as an individual that is hard working, well prepared, and extremely knowledgeable of the law. As my attorney, I have found Jim Keil to be all of those things and more. Jim’s understanding to the approach to your legal case is derived by his wealth of experience and brilliant understanding of the law. All of these important factors in my case have been demonstrated especially during trial. The best analogy of Jim Keil I can give as an attorney relates to college football. Jim is the Alabama Crimson Tide of family law. His success to win a case is not by taking for granted his talent or being complacent by previous wins. His success is achieved by all the hard work and preparation he puts forth toward each case. An opposing counsel would have to bring their “A” game each and every time if they wish to compete with Jim Keil.

Jim Keil has been in this business a long time and knows his stuff. My divorce case was contentious and my wife had very aggressive lawyers. I am a successful professional and an easy target. Jim knows when where to push in negotiations and saved my financial future from vicious attacks! Jim also cares about his billing habits. Some firms are interested in billing as many hours as they can. Jim is careful and prudent with his billing. I would wager that my total attorney cost was half what some other firms would charge. I was referred to Jim through friends and am glad I took their advice. One friend said, "When it comes to divorce, you have to pay for the best and forget the rest!" I'm glad I listened.

Jim has been representing me since January 2013, after I began my divorce case with two attorneys who were ill-equipped to handle an ex-husband like mine. He stepped in and quickly took control of a very complicated divorce. In his 31 years of practice, Jim told me he has never known a more vindictive ex-husband than mine. Although my ex has filed countless extensive motions, Jim has won every important motion in my divorce case. He is extremely thorough and very well-spoken in the courtroom, was superb in cross-examining my ex-husband, and prepared me very well for the witness stand. . He is extremely knowledgeable in divorce law, very trustworthy and guided me in how to move forward as quickly as possible in my divorce. He is well-known at the Jefferson County Courthouse, as well. I am most grateful for his expertise in all the court battles he has won for me. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to highly recommend Jim to you. You won't be disappointed and you would never want him on the other side of the courtroom representing your ex.

I was lucky to meet Michael Work & Team I contacted seven lawyers and received counseling years before I started my case. Working with Michael Work was an excellent choice, and I received successful results. Michael has a lot of experience and cases, having over 40 years as an immigration lawyer, and is well aware of how to prepare petitions and materials to complete things perfectly. All of Micahel's team are very professional. They were cautious in their advice and did their best to gather more professional data. I learned many things from them and highly recommend them to acquaintances needing a lawyer. Once again, Thanks to Michal Work, Luca and Luana for your hard work and your best.

I was in absolute shambles, I tried to find a good attorney for over a year. When Jason reached out to me he made it very clear his concern was about me and my family and that was it. He made it clear him and his team cared. In the end we got a settlement that was more than I expected. The biggest thing to note is because Jason cared we were Finally able to put one of the worst things that ever happened to me and my family behind us. Allowing us to finally move forward with our lives. 10/10 recommend Jason and his team for any of your personal injury needs. He will undoubtedly put you and your family first every single time! Even though I live in Missouri the accident took place in Wyoming, so I needed an attorney from there. He made is as easy as possible even living 800 plus miles away.

It's really tough to try to put into words just how much I appreciate everything Stu, Eric and Evan at Stuart E. Shelton Injury Law have done for me by representing me in my personal injury case! Looking back, I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Stu as my attorney-- the level of expertise and care that I received was second to none, and the tireless work ethic of everyone at the firm throughout the long, arduous fight against the insurance company really made me feel that I was in the best hands possible, and I was! I honestly could not imagine a better legal team to have had in my corner, and I will forever be grateful for everything they did for me. To say they went above and beyond would honestly be an understatement, and I can't recommend them enough to anyone needing an attorney for a personal injury case!

Price McNamara is truly a one-of-a-kind attorney. From the very beginning, he exceeded every expectation I had for professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care. Working with him was an absolute pleasure, and he made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable. Price frequently checked in with me, ensuring I had no questions or concerns along the way. He responded to emails promptly—often faster than I expected—and no question ever felt too small or insignificant. His deep knowledge and expertise in ERISA law were evident at every turn, and it gave me tremendous confidence knowing I was in such capable hands. Equally impressive was his incredible staff. Every member of his team was efficient, organized, and kind, making the entire process seamless. It was clear that he has built a team that mirrors his own commitment to excellence and care. What truly sets Price apart, though, is his genuine dedication to his clients. He didn’t treat me like just another case; he treated me like a person, with real empathy and respect. By the end of the process, I wasn’t just grateful for his exceptional legal work—I was also grateful for the relationship we built. I genuinely consider him a friend. If you’re looking for someone who is not only an expert in ERISA law but also deeply committed to your well-being, Price McNamara is the lawyer you want in your corner. He’s everything you could hope for in legal representation and more. I cannot recommend him highly enough—five stars don’t even begin to do him justice!

I have had the honor of working with Price, Sara, Erika, and Dana. They are an incredible team that works so hard and cares deeply about each client. I honestly cannot put into words what an amazing group this is. Not only do they have a drive to make sure their clients get the benefits they deserve, but also every one of them has a huge heart and want nothing but the best for each person they come in contact with. The clients don’t see what happens behind the scenes, but I had the opportunity to and it is nothing short of amazing. From the beginning to the end, their work ethic is nothing that I have ever experienced before. Their love, knowledge, and commitment to this area of law is something you will want in a team. They have your back and will not let you down. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this amazing practice you have built and for being so patient and kind as I learned.

I would give this lawyer a 0-star review if I could. I have an easy open-shut case with the medical documentation I will be receiving from my doctor. I was receiving benefits for multiple months from Reliance Std; they only denied my claim based on tests that had nothing to do with the disability I claimed. The claim was only later denied due to tests that were trying to figure out why I have syncope episodes and not the condition I was claiming. I only wanted to make the process easier for myself. This lawyer thinks the case is too "hard." I only have a master of science in information technology, but I will solve this without them on my own. I do not recommend this lawyer.

There is not enough review space available for me to praise Mary Louise. She is an amazing person and incredible attorney. The fate of our family was in her hands and ultimately, we could not be happier with the outcome. She immediately immersed herself into our narrative. She was highly attentive and detail-oriented. It is worth mentioning separately that Mary Louise is very, very sharp-witted. This is not something one learns but it is innate. She is intuitive when it comes to reading others and their intentions. She was thoughtful in every decision and methodical in her approach. She worked tirelessly to address all downstream possibilities in a preemptive fashion. She was exceedingly responsive and efficient with time. She kept me updated on all movements of the case the moment shifts would occur. She is genuine and has a heart for those involved. She listens late at night. Most importantly, Mary Louise has the highest moral/ethical standards. I never had to wonder if our path was in the right. She handled our case with class, professionalism, energy, empathy and commitment. Mary Louise is the representation you want navigating through the most difficult of times.

Mary Louise is a fantastic divorce attorney that guided me from start to finish through the most difficult experience of my life. From the moment I met her at the initial consultation, I felt her compassion and professionalism. She guided me efficiently and confidently to an amazing outcome for my entire family. The process was highly collaborative, leveraging her deep legal expertise and my insight to formulate an effective approach. I was amazed by her attention to detail, preparation and execution during the deposition and mediation. Mary Louise was able to quickly recall the detailed background I initially provided to effectively navigate issues and reach closure. She efficiently processed new information throughout the entire divorce process and offered insightful recommendations to the decisions I faced. I always felt safe and powerful in her company during the times when there was conflict. Having someone like Mary Louise by your side through a divorce process is priceless. She is a unique lawyer - someone with deep legal acumen and an understanding of relationships and family dynamics. I admire her spirit, ethics and professionalism to reach an outcome that was in the best interests of my children and me. The best in the business - highly recommended!

Mary Louise Phelps surpassed any expectations I had for my divorce attorney. Going through the proceedings was a very scary ordeal for me being that it involved money, businesses, and most importantly my two children. I was very nervous about being in the wrong hands. She by far did not disappoint though! I knew after my first meeting with her that it was going to be the right fit. She was there for me any time of the day, and truly had mine and my kids best interest at heart. Mary Louise is an incredibly organized person which was crucial for such a complex divorce such as mine. She was ALWAYS prepared for court, was two steps ahead on everything, and was ready for the unexpected at any time. She is very knowledgeable on the law and helped walk me through each step of the proceedings. From mediation to court, she always came overly prepared. She has a heart of gold but also the bravado in court that demands respect. Her ethics & morals are top notch which was something I highly desired from my legal counsel. My divorce was now final over a year ago - and she still keeps in frequent contact with us. She checks in on us and is always rooting for me and my life. I would highly recommend Mary Louise Phelps to anyone who is looking for an attorney that will take your case seriously and will fight for what is right!

I am a Father and my daughter wanted to live with me and attend school closer to my home (I wanted to enroll her into private school) so that would mean I would need to become the primary parent of residence. I thought it would be impossible to get that changed because I also have a career as a firefighter so my work schedule rotates and its 24 hour shifts. I contacted Robyn and she was upfront and honest provided me with possible outcomes. Robyn was outstanding! She had to do the work of two attorneys because the defendants’ attorney would not submit paperwork to the court in a timely manner and that would’ve slowed the process. The case went to trial and having the experienced attorney really showed! I am now the primary parent of residence my daughter and I couldn’t be happier. She always answered my calls, emails and was on time. Both parents were found to be fit by the judge yet a change of custody was still granted in my favor.

He had all the case & evidence well presented to the court already in such an outstanding amazing way that when it was the moment to present myself before the Judge I literally didn't even have a chance to say my name or good morning Your Honor because as I was ready to say my first word the Judge was already saying that the charges against me were dismissed and I was told to leave immediately I was free to go ! Thank God for Attorney Clement who in my book is the Best of The Best for it is hard to imagine how can a Defense Attorney do better than that ?

When my case took a turn (became contested) Melissa handled everything very professionally and reassured me that everything would work out, which it did. I loved the online portal which allowed me to submit all documentation online, this was very convenient. The paralegals on their team were fantastic as well, very prompt and helpful.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
  • List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
  • Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
  • Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
