I cannot say enough good things about Bethany, who was my lawyer for my divorce. She was extremely responsive and got me a settlement as soon as possible. Definitely didn’t want to just take my money, and was very reasonable compared to other lawyers in the area. I was a victim of narcissistic abuse and she made sure I felt safe going to and from court!

Very disappointed, betrayal and loss of time, pure professionalism. Almost destroyed all the work in expenses of inosent people. Safer without attorney than with bad 👎 a sold one.even sexual overlooks.

I had a great experience with Bethany Spencer as my divorce attorney. She understood what was important to me and navigated challenging dynamics with the other party well. She was knowledgable, efficient, and kind.
Owner response
Thank you for your kind words, Elizabeth. I will pass them onto Bethany. It was a pleasure serving you.

I have had the privilege to work with Victoria Baker during my divorce. She was not only professional and amazing at guiding me through the whole process, explaining everything and advocating for us but, she is also so kind and patient and that made everything so much easier for me and my kids. She always made sure that my kids best interests came first, she respected my opinions, listened to my concerns, communicated all issues and concerns she had with me in a timely manner and also was not afraid to remind me of the end goal and to keep the emotional aspects of it all in check. (Which is important) I can’t express in words what having her in our corner meant to my family. 🖤 Victoria is not only going to get the “job done” but, you can tell she actually cares about the people she works with and we are forever grateful for her and her knowledge in Family Law.
Owner response
Thanks for the kind words, Kathleen. We were happy to assist you through a difficult time. We wish you well.

This location is unprofessional with communication as they don’t know how to respond or setup a meeting. They have been ignoring messages and emails. Would recommend somewhere else who can respond better and calculate their schedule. (Mark D. Hofstee)
Owner response
I am sorry that you feel that there was a communication breakdown. This is Michelle McLean, one of the partners. If there is any thing that I can do to help clear up any confusion, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Michelle is the attorney you want representing your case hands down. If you're being taken advantage of she's going to fight for you. I'm happy to provide a more in-depth reference to anyone with questions. I use her firm for my real estate dealings.
Owner response

If you're looking for a law firm that will fight for you and your family, this ain't it. I went in and talked to Michelle about some custody issues I was having with my daughter. She pawned me off on Matt. Matt is easily the laziest lawyer I've ever had the displeasure of being in contact with. He not only sympathized with the other attorney stating that he knew her and she was a good person, she isn't. Should've been my first red flag. Matt was weak and ignored many of my requests including a request to modify my parenting time. Matt tried to convince me that the other attorney was a good person and he knew her and worked with her more than once. The moment he's started defending the other attorney, I should've asked for my money back. I feel Michelle was being lazy and didn't want to take my case. Matt did a horrible job. One of my hearings got cancelled and Matt claimed it was the courts fault. I contacted the court and since then have found out otherwise. This group will take your money and do nothing. Stay away from them and go hire someone that will care about you and the mental health of your family. This firm is a joke.
Owner response
Mike- This is Michelle McLean responding. First, I am sorry you feel the way you do. I assure you that I wasn’t being “lazy” but instead was dealing with the terminal illness and death of my mother. We informed you that another attorney would need to take over my files, and that even my partner, Mark Hofstee, would be willing take over for me. At no point did you ever reach out to me with any concerns until this review—over four years after the conclusion of our representation of you. Also, Matt reached out to you several times via email and you never responded to him. <br>

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.
