I am absolutely 100% pleased with how the ONDA team handled my case. My attorney, Caroline Near, provided an extremely robust legal defense, fighting hard on my behalf while being empathetic to my situation. It's true what they say: going through a divorce is one of the most traumatic events you can experience. That's why you need an attorney like Caroline in your corner. She will guide you through the complexities of the legal process with compassion and expertise.

Brad LaMorgese is an exceptional appellate attorney and litigator. I have worked with him on several appellate cases and could not think any higher of him as a lawyer and as a person.

This firm hired Scott Rewak, one of the most incompetent attorneys I have ever met in my life, thus everyone who can possibly think of avoiding them, should.

Mr. Branch was very professional & diligent in the court proceedings. Things don't always go as planned, but he will do everything possible for you.

Terrible people who represented an abuser to create a false narrative. Should be disbarred and the law firm shut down.

Was given John Kappel's name to handle a probate issue. He did a teleconference with us and we sent him paperwork to look over. Been trying to contact him via email the last couple of weeks but we haven't heard back. Tried calling him. His staff said he was out for the day. They said they would put me through to his voicemail, but ended up getting disconnected. I give up. It could be a fluke in responding, but at this point, my family and I have to start all over again with a new lawyer. I've lost faith with this firm.

I retained John Kappel in 2016 when I saw my marriage heading in a negative direction. I knew I needed to be prepared to protect my financial interests should my husband at the time follow through with threats to my financial viability. John was patient, understanding and straight forward in directing me how to best prepare myself should I end up in divorce proceedings. John continued his council as needed through the next few years providing guidance as I requested. Our divorce was filed by my spouse in 2019, and finalized in July of 2020. The divorce was intricate between various business partnerships and other tangled and co-mingled investments, etc. John was there by my side to guide me and represent my financial and family interests (regarding my children) as well as my future financial/custody well being. While I was a mental mess grasping the circumstances of the death of a 26 year relationship, John stood steadfast in addressing my best interests with the understanding that I wanted as fair a resolution as possible without being taken advantage of by my ex. I would not have been able to manage in my divorce had it not been for John’s guidance, experience, and resources. He metaphorically held my hand through the entire life-changing process. A sincere thank you to John, and ONDA.

I spoke with several law firms before selecting Scott Downing at ONDA. I had a complex divorce. He constructed a game plan that he executed flawlessly with the help of his amazing paralegal Angela Prisock. Everything he said he was going to do, he did. I started to wonder if he had a crystal ball. Thank you Scott & Angela!

I want to take a moment to comment on John Kappel and ONDA. John represented me in a bitter divorce case that went on for nearly two years (due to her actions). John's guidance along this very difficult path was invaluable. The most impressive aspect of John's skill was his preparation and professional conduct at a two day trial that ended as well as I could have expected.

I have had the privilege of working with Atty Kappel, he is very personable and professional. The ONDA law firm is beautiful and the staff there are very professional. I went through a difficult divorce but Atty Kappel handled the situation perfectly and was very understanding with the difficulties associated with my case. Thanks again Atty Kappel.
