Very professional, nice folks

Victoria Drake was the second attorney I took on. She has since represented me for the last nearly 4yrs. The office is thorough and detailed at breaking down where retainer is going. Victoria is very knowledgeable. She helps you understand the process and what to expect. She is willing to listen and is quick about communication.

I am always satisfied with my results working with Victoria Drake! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and responds in a timely manner. She helps me feel at ease through the entire process and helped us save attorney fees by reserving our case for if the threshold of burden was met. She remembers our history with our case anytime I have needed her!

Attorney McLean was amazing. She helped us navigate a very tricky situation with professionalism and speed. She was referred to me and I'll refer her to anyone else in need.

From my personal experience with them, it seems to me that they do not listen to their clients. They have their own agendas, and do not care what their clients Issues are. You can always count on them to do what is best for themselves in all situations, while utilizing their clients money of course. After my experience, I left feeling like they come to conclusions before speaking to their clients. I Felt as though I constantly had to prove to them what I was saying was true before they would even listen to me. After a couple meetings, and looking around a little more thoroughly, I feel their actions and manipulations may have to do with gender issues and biases. They do not listen to their clients. They set their own agendas. They will gladly take your money though and tell you they have your back. I suggest to you, from personal experience and with best intentions, that you do not believe them. Edit: They read this review quite quickly. Perhaps it Shouldn't have been, but their reaction still shocked me a little. I received an email from them shortly after posting this, ordering me to remove my post immediately and threatening me with legal action because they did not like what I thought of my experiences with them. I definitely have lost any remaining trust in them that I may have once had, and this solidified any and all suspicions I may have had concerning them and what their self-serving intentions are.

Katie Steffes achieved our goal for our family. She was professional, responded quickly to inquiries and kept us updated with next steps to the various processes. She listened well to our goals and helped us understand how to achieve them. Her counsel was much needed and well worth it. Overall great experience with her and I highly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with custody situations.

Will bleed you dry while making no forward progress, then ask to part ways when you have finally run out of money. Good luck out there! Didn't even bother to tell me that I was alone in mediation for 2 hours. Got billed for it thought :)

I first was recommended to Bolthouse law by another attorney. After years of paying overpriced lawyers who didn't want to help, I was at a loss. It was Katie Steffes that took my case.I had wasted so much money in the past trying to get the help I needed in my custody case. She made it clear she wanted to help and was willing to work with me. Her kindness and compassion was what kept me going throughout the whole process. Not only was she understanding throughout the entirety of the case but very responsive and respectful; as well as organized and well spoken. There are even times I had messaged her and she got back to me within the next hour. It was a long drawn out case with tons of information to go through. I couldn't of asked for a better attorney. She is 100% there for her client and I highly recommend her.

I never reviewed but feel compelled to. When I came to this “law” office, I was told at my initial meeting with Christine W (supposedly under Michelle’s guidance) that my case was an easy win. The girls were giggling because it was such a shoo-in since I had all the evidence I needed to win my case. THEY SUCKED. I lost my dog to my ex thanks to these attorneys. My lawyer kept going back and forth with my ex’s and her confidence quickly diminished when she realized how thorough he was. At one point she said my ex was willing to give me $2,000 to not go to court and I could use that money to buy another dog and she was like, “this is so great! No one ever makes an offer like this!” Lady, I could have saved the $2,000 in lawyer fees and bought another dog, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE POINT! I wanted MY dog. My ex hired the best attorney in the state. I hired the worst. She recommended I include my ex’s dad’s name (a veterinarian) in my paperwork to “scare them” so we knew we were serious. Do you know what happened? They wanted to sue me $250,000 for defamation! That’s right! I almost lifelong debt based on her advise!! Come court, and she showed up with hot pink acrylic nails, and was absolutely unprepared. I heard less “ums” in high school speeches. I lost my dog because of these people. They only care about money. Not representing you. Why post when it was 2017? After all these years I still feel the loss and am still heartbroken. I saw a photo of him, and he’s greyed and has gotten so overweight. It broke my heart to see he isn’t cared for. I still remember the false hope I had that it was going to be easy and that I had everything I needed to win… I just don’t want someone to lose something that meant everything to them or be given a false hope.
