You always hear about GAL being a broken idea. Just more tools the court can use to screw over the father. That wasn't the case with laken wise. Very respectful and very much just there for the child.

Laken was so considerate and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Laken if you are going through a divorce. I know it can be nasty but having a good lawyer on your side would definitely give you a peace of mind.

I had the opportunity to work with Mary during my dissolution process. I appreciate her professionalism and willingness to address the big and little picture details.

Ms. Laken Wise has been incredibly helpful to me, agreeing to represent me quickly for an urgent matter. She has been so easy to talk to and has efficiently and intelligently handled everything with confidence. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough positive things about Laken Wise (Schodzinski) and her work as my children’s attorney advocate. Throughout the entire process of litigation, my children knew above all else that they could rely on Laken to have their voices heard and taken seriously. They knew they could call her and she would answer, spending as much time as needed to fully listen to and understand their feelings and their experiences- knowing those feelings would be validated. Her presence is strong, straightforward, but immensely comforting, for both the children and for me as well. Knowing she was their representative gave me confidence and security throughout this process: I knew, aside from all the accusations and doubts of most other legal personnel involved in my case, my children’s experiences would be vocalized and tirelessly fought for. She works hard to build rapport with children through ease of communication and profound empathy for their situation. Laken is thorough, efficient, and a force to be reckoned with- anyone going through the emotionally strenuous process of litigation for custody of their children should feel immense comfort and security in Laken Wise (Schodzinski) as their children’s advocate.

I am very impressed with Laken! I would highly recommend her services. She is empathetic, as well as, a strategic thinker. She does her homework and it shows!

Bob's onboarding was thorough and he was well briefed by the time I spoke to him. Working with Bob was an absolute pleasure. He is incredibly observant, clearly very well versed in the issues we addressed together, and has the incredible gift to show empathy and create rapport. He was fast, he reverted whenever he said he would (I never had to chase) and the results were so beautifully crafted and so professionally delivered. Bob helped me significantly in crafting my approach and ensuring my own professionalism was going to be respected. I appreciated his input and guidance greatly. He is very good at what he does, and believes in gently and firmly... he is not a war mongerer. A great gift to his clients ensuring they get the best deal with the softest touch. Thank you Bob. I am grateful for your input ... and the output!

Jason Cox, his father Garth Cox and Sandy Meizlish took on our case about 4 years ago. This case was complex to say the least as I was wildly attacked in front of a place of business. I suffered a severe brain injury which required life saving emergency brain surgery. I was devastated physically and to make things worse, my family was devastated financially as it would eventually lead to the loss of my business after developing epilepsy. This is a job well done. A little over 4 1/2 years ago our lives would change forever. My family and I were brought to our knees, and I was a broken man. It has been the fight of my life these last few years to try and put the pieces back together. This settlement will get us back on our feet and will put me back on the offense. This gives my family and myself the chance that we needed to rebuild and move forward with our lives. It doesn’t take a genius to know that this case was quite complex and it wouldn’t have taken much for us to lose. I’m grateful that it’s finally over and thankful that I had all of you on my side. This was more than just a settlement, it was Justice Served and chalk one up for the good guys. Thank you Jason, Sandy, Garth, the experts and the rest of the team.

6 months ago my employer decided not to pay me and my fellow emts and medics for 3 weeks of pay and laid us off. One of the emts created a class action lawsuit for us and we got our pay and more thanks to this law office. The employer tried to get one by them too by giving net wage info instead of gross wages and the law office caught them. They were also incredibly friendly and personable. Thank you all so much for helping us🙏🙏🙏.

Bob DeRose and his team were excellent to work with. Me and the rest of us in the class action lawsuit weren’t paid for 3 weeks of work from an employer that kept 1 station open while closing 3 of its other stations. We were without work with a 2 hour notice and wasn’t paid for those hours for the previous 3 weeks. It was devastating to all of us. Bob explained the process and was there for any questions we had along the way. Hard to say if we would have ever gotten paid without his help! Thanks again to Bob and his team.

Attorney Laken L Wise, thank you for being kind, fair, just an excellent, astute, professional. I am grateful for the time you spent listening to me without an appointment, giving me your undivided attention! Your written communication via email was clear, concise, and accurate! Thank you for the additional resources. I am going to recommend you to anyone I come in contact with, that needs an amazing attorney! I wish you, and your law firm continued, amazing success!
