Nick Smart and Holly Brown are amazing! The attention we received was above and beyond. Through the whole process I was treated with respect, compassion and always felt Nick had my best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend Nick Smart and the law office of Strong-Garner-Bauer.

Nicholas Lunnen was completely incompetent. When you reach for an attorney you are reaching out of desperation during one of the most painful scary original moments of your life. You are looking for hope. For help. Nicholas told us he would fight for our daughter. Then when he got on the stand he was silent. He said and did nothing. And we lost our daughter. She lost the only person left that could have been her voice to keep her safe. He says he fights for families, but I know of a 2yr old little girl that is scared, confused and traumatized bc he chose not to fight for her.

I cannot speak highly enough about Strong-Garner-Bauer law firm and Grant Rahmeyer. Their level of professionalism, expertise and responsiveness could not have been higher. They filed an injury claim for me to an insurance company that was very uncooperative yet achieved an outcome that could have not been higher. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I certainly recommend their firm and especially Grant Rahmeyer. If you have been in an accident, Grant is a great choice for representation.

Outstanding performance by this law firm! Chandler Gregg is a highly skilled professional who knows the law and uses his skill set to make sure that his clients are well informed and compensated fairly. He seeks justice for individual families, and has no fear of taking on high profile corporate bullies. We had contacted several firms, but one consultation with Chandler Gregg convinced us that this attorney had both the knowledge and the resources to successfully resolve this case. We are truly grateful for Chandler's expertise, as well as his ability to resolve this case in a timely manner. Highly recommended as simply the best.

Nicholas Lunnen represented me in the Springfield, MO office. He listened to my questions and answered them promptly, and he always provided a calm response when I was frustrated. He worked hard for me and was always prepared.

Strong-Garner-Bauer was recommended to me from a family friend. I was so pleased with their professionalism and dedication. Nick Smart and Holly Brown took the time to make sure I understood everything that was going on and answered any questions I had. The reseptionists were my first impression of SGB and the many times I had called up there, they were never rude one time, (which is hard to find these days.) They are honest, down to earth people and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Strong-Garner-Bauer!

Divorce with complications, went well, no issues.

Quickly and expertly handled my grandfather's legal matters. Thank you!

Hi, I went to strange law for my divorce. I had a restraining order against my husband for both my son and I. I was a housewife so I did not have the funds needed to get an attorney. Luckily my parents were able to get me the retainer fee (because they don’t like injustice). Mr. Young in my initial consultation assured me that within two weeks maximum that they would put in two motions. One for temporary support and the other for legal fees. I made it clear that the money I obtained form my parents was a loan. He literally assured me that this would be done quickly. I was passed down to an associate of the firm (whom was a great person) but I feel that somewhere along the way that things were lost in translation among the attorneys as far as the expectations promised and the actual outcome. What was to be a simple motion for temporary maintenance and attorney fees, extended for over two months and somehow my fees amounted to an assuburent amount of 17k??? Of course when we finally got to meet with the judge, opposing counsel was outraged at the amount of the attorney fees that was being requested. I was wondering why opposing counsel was questioning the attorney fees and why the judge withheld attorney fees until the end of my divorce. So long story short I could not afford the exuberant fees (I wasn’t going to submit my parents to the other parties games) and if I’m not mistaken that wasn’t even including the money I put down. I had to find another attorney (Brett Schneider) who actually listened to me and was very upfront. No promises that could not be met and no exuberant fees. The amount I was being billed with Stange Law was more fitting for a trial then to file two motions for temporary maintenance and attorney fees. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that none of it made sense. I don’t blame opposing counsel for being outraged with the fees, I would be too. And at the end I was pretty much told that in order for them to continue working on my case they needed a big portion of the attorney fees paid in order for them to continue representing me or they would have to drop me as a client. Serioulsy just because you are attorneys, there should be some form of ethics. i requested an itemized billing which I never got. I am referring to opposing counsel too (not every person is the same, so you shouldn’t judge one bad Apple and automatically assume that we all have the same motives, especially if you don’t know the whole story). Anyhow I do not recommend this firm to anyone. They promise you things that they shouldn’t, especially to those they feel are desperate. And when they know you can’t pay (I wasn’t going to pay 17k, not even half), they practically tell you they will need to drop you. They should refund me the money paid, since they were very misleading in their representation. Very unprofessional in my opinion. You can take your chances, but be warned!

We hired Mr. Young to represent us in a guardianship matter in July, 2018. Mr. Young has exceeded our expectations since day one. He actually listens to us and he understands every part of our case, which is quite a complex case. He is easy to communicate with and his response time is phenomenal. He keeps us thoroughly informed on every aspect of our case. We have never had to wonder what is going on because he makes sure to communicate with us, clearly, every step from A-Z. He has done more for us in 3 months than the previous lawyer we had (from a different law firm) for 6 months. He genuinely cares and it shows. We highly recommend Mr. Young and we are so thankful to have him represent us. It's one of the best decisions we've ever made. His knowledge of the law is second to none.
