Going through a divorce .... "RUN as fast as you can towards attorney Michelle J. Perkins." Owens…read moreand Perkins Law Firm Prior to hiring Michelle Perkins I was with a different law firm for almost 2 years and my case at the time continued to drag out hearing one excuse after another by my previous attorney to why it was taking so long, as well his justifications to his high monthly bill costs. The stress left me crippled and I didn't know how to stop this emotional and financial bleeding but to just end it, but how do you do that in the middle of divorce proceeding! I am from the south with a great upbringing. I realized that I needed and "old school" type soul with honesty, integrity and for sure someone with compassion. I know in general that attorneys that handle divorce cases are focused on numbers and business as they should be, but I was alone, very sick, angry and very scared and needed emotional support even though generally that is not there job. I was under so much stress at the time and knew what I wanted in an attorney now, after experiencing the previous attorney, as well as the stress of so much lost money and nothing ever being accomplished and the divorce stagnant in the waters. One might call my meeting Michelle, a "Devine Intervention," because all I remember at the time was Michelle at the top on my computer screen every time I googled search and there she was with what appeared to be the "old school manners and smarts" that I wanted and desired. I watched a video of Michelle on her website where she worked with her grandfather in the family law firm and noticed her many awards and accolades as well and again fitting the "old school well mannered, professional and compassionate conservative" which is exactly what I was looking for. During my initial meeting with Michelle she listened very carefully to my situation and as well all my mis-emotions ;-) and her responses were intelligent and right on par. I told Michelle that my health could not take the stress so she had to push this case forward as fast as possible while at the same time being sure my future was protected. Michelle not only moved my divorce case along but during the same period of time she sadly lost her dear father and was also care giving for her over 100 year old attorney grandfather and grandmother. All through my time working with Michelle she stayed focused to my case, never showed her own emotions and continued to be the utmost stellar professionalism from beginning to end... and somehow all at the same time, she even managed to deal with my emotional distresses! Michelle read every line in my divorce decree, staying up endless nights while falling asleep on her own sofa to comply with my wishes to get the job done and my divorce was final November 2024 with excellence. If I were a teacher grading her paper, I would give her an A+ Excellence with stars.

I highly recommend Craig Orent for your criminal defense needs…read more He's a great lawyer with an outstanding reputation who works hard to get the best possible outcome for you. I hired Craig to defend me for a speeding charge in Scottsdale where it was stated that I was going almost twice the posted residential speed limit. Anything over 20 mph in Arizona is considered criminal speeding in Arizona and classified as a misdemeanor charge. I have a clean driving record but was an extremely concerned and nervous with the possibility of such a charge. Craig was well versed in the driving laws and worked with me to build a strong effective defensive against the charge. Due to the Craig's approach, the charge was ultimately dismissed by the court. Whew!!! I feel blessed to have find Craig and can not be more thankful for his services. He was extremely easy to work with and clearly explained each part of the process along with possible outcomes. He is well organized and communicated frequently throughout the process. His legal fees are reasonable and beyond commensurate for his level of service.

He is very expensive compared to most phoenix lawyers. He only communicates through text messages. Do not be misled by all the 5 star reviews. A number of reviews are from users with less than 5 total reviews so they could be paid for. I would recommend going with someone younger who does not have as heavy of a caseload and can give more time to you. Do not only take my word for it. This is from the website Avvo. "I would NOT recommend ANYONE to use Mr. Orent as their attorney. I am a current client of Mr . Orent's and he has been EXTREMELY rude, including hanging-up on me. He has NOT kept in contact with me nor informed and has changed times for court appearances without notifying me until the day before court...knowing I am a resident in a completely different state and has limited resources. My case has been going on for one year, for a simple DUI charge and he has not helped in ANY way. I have repeatedly fired him and he has HORRIBLE communication skills and refuses to communicate. One of the WORST attorneys I have come across!"

During my time of distress due to family issues, Snader law group was there to assist me and…read morerelieve some stress. The firm worked together as a whole, representing me as a team rather, than a single person working my case. This was valuable to me because in legal and highly important matters, it is important to tackle the situation from multiple angles. When it comes to money value, it really depends on how much each person values their case. I found their pricing to be reasonable as they have fixed hourly rates but, they charge them as a they go, in minute based increments (resulting in less fees rather than a straight flat hourly rate charge). One thing I would remind people of, is remain patient. Lawyers have it hard, people yelling at them for their own issues, demanding things from them, etc. From personal experience, I understand that dealing with the courts takes time. If you ever find yourself dealing with a lawyer, instead of sending a rude email demanding information, simply ask for an update and remain patient. Overall,the staff at Snader Law Group: - Are attentive - Are reasonably priced - Do their job

But Mr. Cook was very down to earth, helped me understand all my options, and answered every question I had clearly and concisely. The peace of mind I got as a result of our conversation was 100% worth the cost of the consultation, which was reasonably priced to begin with. Frankly, if you could leave 25% tips for attorneys like you do with other professionals, I would. In addition, the legal assistant who scheduled the consultation and accepted all of my documentation (Kierra Formica) was very professional, articulate, and pleasant to work with.

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.

The site to visit is below https://www.azbar.org/for-legal-professionals/practice-tools-management/member-directory/ When I reached out to Mark, he strongly persuaded me to file for an eviction, emphasizing how important it was for me to recover my lost wages. However, what he failed to disclose--which I found to be very deceitful--was that his services do not include recovering those lost payments which to me defeats the purpose if you don't know where the tenant resides. I even asked him if he could mediate the situation of get the tenant to the table and he strongly advise i pursue a judgement... because that's how he gets paid. I would have paid to mediate... I just wanted representation. To be clear, tenant was communicative by email but we had no address of the tenant. I not once did the lawyer serve any of the paperwork via email. Although I'm not entirely comfortable discussing my eviction experience, I remain unconvinced that I even needed to go through the process. My tenant had already abandoned the unit without surrendering the keys, making the situation unclear. knowing what i know how now, I am legally obligated to still communicate how i am going to handle the security deposit. But I am really suffering a huge financial loss that Mark stated was a lot of money... clearly money i may new recover. Unfortunately, Mark's approach left much to be desired. He does not thoroughly review discovery documents or commit the details of your renter's story to memory as he kept asking me questions about situation there were already in the material I sent him. On several occasions, the so-called "professional documents" he prepared--such as affidavits and notices--contained significant errors, including repeated misspellings of the tenant's address on multiple occasions. While Mark may come across as a nice guy on the phone, I cannot recommend his services. I had to constantly follow up with him to ensure tasks were completed, which eroded my trust in his capabilities. I also found his communication style manipulative--he knows how to carefully phrase things to influence your perception while avoiding accountability. This made me lose respect for him. I'm sharing my experience to help others make informed decisions. I would advise caution if you're considering his services.
