When we first visited Pat Simasko in March of 2012, he was very helpful and efficient in setting up and executing a trust. It was a complicated trust as there were many properties. Pat encouraged us to write e-mails to him if we needed anything and also to send information. He did not charge us anything extra for these e-mails. We went back to Pat after her father passed away in June 2013 to handle the legal work for the estate. We met with Pat and Sandra Harrison. Sandra was to handle the closing of the estate. Sandra was very hard to contact, and didn't handle getting a tax id number from the IRS for the estate quickly. We made numerous calls, and the receptionist would tell us to "write an e-mail". In December 2013, Oakland County sent us a letter saying that the estate needed to have action taken or they would appoint another personal representative. Sandra finally answered an e-mail asking us why we were delaying setting up a bank account for the estate. We pointed out to her that we still didn't have the tax id and couldn't set up the account until we had it. We also pointed out that she had promised to get the number in July and September, but still no number. We received the tax id in a towards the end of December and proceeded with closing the estate. Then the final billing came. There were additional charges for items that needed to be handled and that we agreed with. What we didn't agree with was Sandra charging us close to $300 to "READ E-MAILS". We probably wouldn't have had to send so many e-mails if she had just done her job in a timely manner. Unfortunately, e-mails to Pat on the subject went unanswered, and we just paid the invoice. By the way, the charge is $29.90 per e-mail read.

From the very first phone…read morecall--on a Saturday morning--I felt heard, understood, and supported in a way I didn't think was possible in a legal setting. As a permanently disabled parent navigating a high-conflict divorce from a covert narcissist while raising my autistic son, I came into this feeling completely overwhelmed. But Jodi's unique background in law, psychology, and addiction made all the difference. She didn't just represent me--she got me. Jodi, along with Claire (who was a phenomenal law clerk at the time and is now an attorney) and Judy (her kind, organized assistant), stood by me through every mediation and legal battle. Even when I wanted to give up, they reminded me to breathe, to keep going, and to stay grounded in what mattered: protecting my son and staying true to myself. Even now, post-divorce, I know my fight isn't over--and I won't face it without them. Jodi is more than just an attorney. She's a warrior, a fierce advocate, and truly one of the most compassionate professionals I've ever met. If you're navigating a high-conflict case, especially involving children or hidden abuse, call Switalski Law. You won't just get a lawyer--you'll get a team who fights with heart.
