My wife and I unfortunately had an automobile accident in 2021, and Matt Brown and his team were referred to us by a family friend. They treated us well, took us seriously, and were extremely professional, and timely with how they handled our case with us. It was a three year process, and they stayed patient and kept with us the whole time. When it came to other parties or needing someone else to do something for us, they were aggressive in getting it done and made sure it was done properly for us. They took great care of us and our family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer to represent them.

TLDR: Great Lakes employs attorneys that are not only terrible at their job, but who will overbill you and treat you terribly. You are doing yourself a tremendous disservice taking your business to Great Lakes. Kim Browning in particular is the single worst attorney I have ever had to deal with. She is both not very good at the legal aspect of her job, nor the customer service aspect. She ended up billing me 3x higher than her initial estimate despite the fact that the case proceeded exactly as anticipated without any sort of hiccups. What's more, despite the case progressing exactly as anticipated, she never gave me a clear understanding about what the next steps would be. Worst, she WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU. Despite paying her over $10k, she could not bother to respond to simple "yes" "no" emails without me having to send them to her 3+ times. Please take your business elsewhere. With Great Lakes and Kim, all you'll get is a massive bill and disappointment.

Kimberly Browning and Stephanie Taylor helped me through the hardest thing I had to go through in life. I lost my dad and didn't know what to do next. Kimberly over heard me talking to people at court trying to figure out what to do next and offered to help. They have been amazing the whole year they helped me with my dad's estate. They always answered my questions. And I was always able to get ahold of them which was very important to me. I highly suggest great lakes family & estates!!

I am very Grateful, and Thankful for Great Lakes Probate! Kimberly, and Stephanie have worked with me, and family diligently. I had so much on my plate as personal Rep, and they were there for direction, and so much support. Never skipped a beat Very Professional. Me, and my family definitely made the right choice when we selected Great Lakes Probate & Estates! Thank You!

Kim and her staff were excellent and went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you during a difficult time...

My experience with this company was very rewarding as I learned to work with professional attorneys who truly cared about the client which in our case was my niece. I loved working specifically with Stephanie Taylor and Kimberly Browning because they were available immediately at all times as they responded to all of my concerns, questions or comments in the same day or no later than the next day. I really appreciated being able to hire this firm to assist me with my duties as Trustee according to my brother's will and with assisting the beneficiary, my niece. I will gladly refer this administration to other friends and family members who need assistance from a firm that is fair and extremely reasonable. Thank you so much! TDH

Joe works fast, he’s very communicative and easy to get ahold of. He’s respectful of his clients wishes and a reasonable price for the quality of service. He’s a professional and knowledgeable attorney. Would highly recommend- he gets the job done.

Very good attorney, and will make sure to get the job done! I wish every attorney is like she is. 100% recommend

Excellent attorney! Our family needed assistance with our parents estate. Kim Browning was knowledgeable, professional and kind. She explained our options, prepared the documents and had everything recorded with the township and county. I truly am grateful for her and the wonderful staff at Great Lakes Family Probate & Estates.

Very knowledgeable team

Excellent communication, care, service & results, very thorough, understanding and timely results...definitely going out of my way to recommend Kimberly, Stephanie & Co. to anyone in need. The best I've experienced, especially under trying circumstances.
