I feel completely betrayed by Mr. Haff and deeply disappointed in how he handled my family law…read morecase. Throughout the entire process, he went to court only four times, and during those appearances he said little to nothing--mostly just telling me not to speak to the judge myself. At no point did he advocate for me or make any meaningful effort to help my case. I fulfilled every requirement expected of me, yet he failed to ensure that critical steps were taken, such as making sure I received a service plan. I actually had to request it myself, even though he was in the courtroom when it should have been addressed. I paid him $3,000 for representation, and later he charged me an additional $1,500--then sued me for that amount after providing minimal legal support. His lack of communication, effort, and professionalism left me feeling completely unrepresented and taken advantage of. Given his conduct, I am firmly considering filing a formal complaint with the Bar Association. In my opinion, Mr. Haff's actions fell far below the standard of care expected from an attorney, and I would strongly caution anyone considering hiring him for family law matters.

He efficiently and clearly explained every single document and made sure we understood what we were signing, all the while remaining patient and without any hint of condescension.

If I could give 0 stars, I would…read more I hired Kyle Colson in 2025 to represent me, and from my very first court appearance I questioned whether he was prepared to handle my case. Watching him stand before the judge was painful. He appeared completely unprepared and struggled to effectively advocate on my behalf. I ultimately followed his advice and entered a guilty plea, and I was specifically told he would represent me again at my supervision completion hearing. Fast forward one year. I arrived at court, waited over an hour, and never saw Kyle. I called Donahue & Kililis to confirm I had representation that day. After giving the receptionist my name, I was told that Evan would be representing me. That actually gave me some relief because my previous experience with Kyle had left little confidence. Instead, Kyle eventually walked into the courtroom. After another 45-minute wait, he called me before the judge without speaking to me beforehand. Standing in front of the judge was the first time he asked whether I had completed all of my supervision requirements. The judge immediately stopped the conversation and recalled the case because those discussions should have happened privately before we were called. It was embarrassing and completely avoidable. I sat back down expecting Kyle to discuss my case with me. He never did. After waiting again, the judge called me back up and informed me that the firm was no longer representing me. I was shocked. Kyle had literally just stood next to me moments earlier as if he was my attorney. After court, Kyle wouldn't even acknowledge me. I had to call the office and ask someone to have him come outside and speak with me. I waited another 25 minutes. When he finally came out, instead of explaining what had happened, he asked me, "What happened?" I told him I was trying to figure out the exact same thing. He then said, "Technically we don't represent you after 30 days of sentencing." My question was simple: If you weren't representing me, why did you call me before the judge? He never answered it. Instead, he told me, "I can see you're getting aggravated, and I'm not going to deal with that." He repeatedly changed the subject to the fact that I hadn't completed everything instead of answering why I had been led to believe I had representation that day. When I became frustrated after getting no answers, I did say a few not nice words to him and his final comment to me was, "Look in the mirror." That is the level of professionalism I received. To make matters worse, I was told one of the firm's owners, Evan, would be calling me to discuss what happened. That call never came. My biggest issue isn't even the legal outcome. It's the complete lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism. I left court embarrassed, confused, and without representation after every indication suggested otherwise. If you're considering hiring this firm, I strongly encourage you to ask very clear questions about exactly when their representation begins and ends, who will actually appear in court with you, and what communication you can realistically expect. My experience left me with far more questions than answers.
