My name is Danyelle. I have to use lyles phone and e mail to exercise my freedom of speech because mine was blocked from warning everyone of my experience at fessler law. I went to fessler because there were missing bank accounts for my dad's estate. The greedy personal representative tried to keep everything she could from the estate. Fessler petitioned the bank and when the evidence came in, fessler changed his mind ABSOLUTELY DID NOT WANT THE jUDGE TO KNOW! He told me for 6 weeks that we would set a hearing after we receive the evidence then changed his mind. He is unprofessional, corrupt, unethical and was useless in my case.

I called for a consultation and they were super helpful! I highly recommend them!

If you need a divorce lawyer look elsewhere. Paul C. Fessler is neglectful, unethical, and the only thing he’ll provide is a lack of representation. All the things I signed for in the retainer with Paul C. Fessler of Fesser Law P.C. (aka Paul Fessler) were never honored. 1. Diligent representation by the firm. 2. Mediation and Discovery. 3. Bill rates. 4. Communications, and 5. Refundable retainer. He performed no mediation or discovery in 9 months, he wouldn’t even have a conversation with me during this time, never spoke other than to hire him. He took advantage of me by draining my retainer. I was charged the higher! of the 2 rates the lawyer rate of $250/hr vs, the paralegal rate of $100/hr. She was doing the work, yet not a single $100/hr. paralegal charge, even the frivolous charges were billed high. Second, in over 9 months I only received 3 invoices which should have been coming monthly, this way I wouldn’t see he was draining my account. I had no communications, no emails regarding correspondence from opposing counsel or the court system. Emails I sent were never followed up, phone calls very slow or not returned at all. A refundable retainer? It’s just bait. Once you pay he just made $1500. He stole my money and won’t reply to my request for it back. Super Lawyer? Rising Star? they expect firms to pay for their press, so I was fooled. I fired him and got another attorney who immediately performed discovery and set mediation. I began receiving communications from opposing counsel and the courts within days, what a difference! My new lawyer also witnessed firsthand how Paul C. Fessler lacks professionalism ethics when he didn’t respond for almost 2 weeks after being called and emailed several times, so it’s not just me. I believe I would have lost everything staying Paul C. Fessler. Since mediation wasn’t performed, I was unknowingly being placed into a position where I was just one day away from heading to court to have the judge divide everything in half. The courts don’t have time to mediate cases, this is why mediation so important to work things out before that Settlement date or final judgement day, and discovery is part of that. So, looks like he took my money to let the judge do the work. Paul is the type that gives lawyers a bad name. In hindsight, I should've found a lawyer with hundreds of reviews, not like Paul C. Fessler’s 5 or 6 reviews.

I would like to say Fraser Legal, P.C. is very professional and responsive to their client's needs. I received a return call immediately, and the staff was prompt in delivering my messages. Attorney Fraser addressed any questions or concerns promptly. It takes a special team to make a client feel at ease when handling personal legal matters. I would recommend their services 100%,

Wonderful!! Mr. Fraser helped me with my difficult divorce. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and sympathetic to my needs. I would highly recommend him.

Mr. Fraser has been our family lawyer for over ten years. He has helped us through real estate transactions, will and trust matters, and my daughter's divorce. He is knowledgeable, reliable and ethical. He invariably concludes business in a timely manner. I have thus far found no need for any other legal support. Highly recommended.

James Fraser is very knowledgeable in his field of Law .

Paul is a big help on my breach of contract issue. He personally returns calls promptly with good advice. Thanks.

Fessler Law, P.C. was excellent to deal with. Never being involved in a lawsuit let alone being a defendant, I was a bit overwhelmed. Paul took over and assured me that everything was going to be ok and everything went beyond ok and Paul's results were outstanding. The court case took a while and it seemed like I had many questions or issues along the way and Paul was always there to respond promptly to all of my concerns. Paul's actions in court were extremely professional and reflected highly on his level of intelligence. I can't say enough. His proven results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend Fessler Law, P.C.

Fairly incompetent in paternity matters. He will do the least amount of work possible and communicate poorly about it. Always saying he’s busy with other cases and he’ll get back to you, then won’t. Examples: 1. Didn’t know what intent to claim form was, claimed it wasn’t necessary, eventually didn’t even file it right. I ended up missing the deadline. 2. For a month he claimed process servers weren’t able to deliver due to Covid. I took the papers back, called and it was server the next day. Doesn’t care, just wants to be paid. Eventually dropped him for new attorney.

There isn't enough space to commend Paul and his team. I live across the country from Michigan and went through two other attorneys before finding Paul. We have only been face to face a couple of times but if you are looking for someone who is smart, knows his profession, knows the law, stands behind his clients and doesn't let anyone push you or him around in the court room, he is your guy. Paul has been by my side since 2016, we have been dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, I know and understand that anyone going through family court is dealing with a tough situation. Paul takes the time to listen and help guide you through this process. He has always been able to calm me down when I feel things seem to be going the wrong direction. There is absolutely no misguided information and no fluff; just honest, truthful answers. He will fight for you, listen and keep you from being ran over. You will sleep easier knowing that he has it handled. He doesn't try to speak over your head, he takes the time to ensure you understand and are comfortable with any conversation. I really can't say enough about Paul. His court room presents is known but not aggressive and frustrating to the judge. He knows when to strike and knows when to sit back and watch the other side bury themselves. I've seen the respect he gives and receives from judge, add that to his skills and he's a winning power house.
