This was my first experience using a lawyer, so I wasn't aware that lawyers charge for things like…read moreemails and phone calls. I hired Jason for a specific task, and while the work was completed quickly and professionally, I was disappointed by the lack of transparency regarding his fees. He estimated the work would take about an hour or less but never mentioned that we went over this time or communicating via email or phone would incur additional charges. Receiving a surprise invoice with these fees was frustrating and could have been avoided with better upfront communication. To his credit, he did waive some of the charges after I raised my concerns, which I appreciated. However, I believe clear disclosure of rates and billing practices is essential, especially when working with first-time clients.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who specializes in estate planning,…read morelook no further than Michelle Ogborne. Michelle can help guide you with a plan that is right for your and protecting your children's future.

I have known Michelle Ogborne for about 3 years now. She is an absolute ROCK STAR! I have come to…read moreknow her very well. As an knowledgeable and skilled attorney, and advocate for peaceful mediation, Michelle has a very unique skill set and a genuine commitment to her clients. I have seen the time and commitment that Michelle gives to her clients and to her community. Many years ago, I went through several rounds of legal court battles over custody/visitation of my oldest daughter. I wish that I had known Michelle then. Until just recently I have had no reason to need Michelle's service, but have enjoyed her friendship. Recently, I had a need to have somebody review some business documents and provide council. While the documents that I needed to have reviewed where simple and outside of Michelle's expertise, she was able to connect with me with another attorney in her firm, Lee, who was able to walk me through the documents and answer all of my questions. Because I know her and her character, Michelle's referral was enough to give me the piece of mind that I was in good hands. I strongly recommend Michelle as an advocate for peaceful mediation. More often than not, the time when Michelle's services are needed are difficult and can be very contentious. Michelle has a very special gift of being able to bring two parties to the table and find common ground and avoid the often brutal, painful and very expensive process of litigation.

John is incredible. I had a pretty serious speeding ticket and he managed to get it reduced with…read morejust a fine, exactly what we had planned and discussed. What stood out was the service throughout the whole process. Before going with Pinnacle I consulted with one of the bigger firms in the area and it was a mess of being passed around from a receptionist to senior lawyer to junior associate. No direct point of contact. With John it was the complete opposite. He texted me while he was literally in court and called me from his personal cell the second he walked out. He handled everything start to finish, kept me in the loop, and never made me feel like I was just another case number. Trustworthy, personable, and clearly knows what he's doing. If you want someone who actually picks up the phone and treats you like a person, I'd go with Pinnacle every time.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with John Rhude. I had been pulled over for…read moreexcessive speeding while I was on my way to a family emergency. The officer was not listening to me and talked to me like I was a terrible person, and a terrible mother for not setting a better example. It was horrible. From our very first call, John was professional, attentive and genuinely interested in understanding every detail of my situation. He took the time to explain the law in clear terms, laid out all of my options, and guided me through every step of the process so I was fully prepared. What impressed me most was his responsiveness and confidence. John knows his stuff. His advice is thoughtful, but most importantly, he clearly knows what he is doing. His courtroom presence was confident and poised, and his advocacy skills were second to none. He is who you want next to you. Thanks to John's experience and legal expertise, we achieved a much better result than had I gone at this alone. I highly recommend John Rhude. He turned an overwhelming situation into one that I could navigate with confidence, and I am very grateful for his help.
