Poor communication, wasted resources, and lack of professionalism…read more Given the amount they charge for their retainer, one would expect them to be competent lawyers, but that is not the case. I relied on them to manage my case diligently, yet there were delays and broken commitments.

After receiving divorce papers by a process server I knew I needed an attorney to view them before…read moreI signed my life away. I literally went onto Google and entered in "Divorce Attorneys" with my area I lived in and Sheridan & Dulas came up 1st. I decided just to call and if I didn't like them then I'll find someone else. The receptionist set me up with Attorney Andrew Hunstad, I sat with him for my free 1 hour consultation and needless to say by the end I retained him. He is honest, truthful, knowdependable, always responds asap, and has made my divorce case the best experience I've ever had with an Attorney. With absolutely no thought I could get what was fair from the divorce, Andrew made sure I got what was fair and I'm extremely pleased and thankful. Hands down, Sheridan & Dulas is the #1 place to go to for your divorce case. If you're able to, ask for a consultation with Andrew Hunstad... you won't regret it!!

Attorney Carl Christensen successfully closed our case in less than one month after meeting us…read more The case had dragged on for over a year before retaining his services. While my husband and I initially thought Mr. Christensen was expensive, he actually saved us a large amount of money with a speedy resolution. During our first meeting, Carl assured us we were on sound legal ground. He was confident our suit and counter-suit would be resolved in short order. That was hard to believe after such protracted litigation. He asked a number of questions, and, at times, pushed back against our position. Carl's approach illuminated the issues for us as litigants and for him as an attorney. This also prepared us for push back by the opposing party and provided perspective on what the opposition's motivations were in a clear, direct way. Carl then closed the case with binding mediation to the satisfaction of both parties. His ability to quickly understand the nature of the suit, the counter suit, as well as the personalities and natures of the litigants led to a solid outcome--no small feat--the result of a fine legal mind and years of experience as a litigator.

I was very happy to receive prompt attention upon contacting Christensen Law Office and was…read morepleased that I didn't have to drive all the way to their offices just to sign agreements for service; they had everything I needed to do online. Very convenient and time saving. Everything worked out from my perspective and even promptly received money back as the issue resolved quicker and simpler than it may have.

DO NOT HIRE BECKMAN AND STEEN! Jennifer Beckman did not help my case whatsoever, she is…read moredisorganized, and spends her time (your money) inefficiently. For what she charges, which is expensive for a lawyer, you will not get your money's worth. When my case settled I barely got anything I asked for (it was a post divorce settlement). If you're looking for a great lawyer to represent you, steer clear of Beckman and Steen!

" BEWARE " I hired…read moreMichael Pepin in 2014 to do a simple Bankruptcy for $2,300... Come to find out shortly after hiring him. That majority of my really bad credit stuff had been cleared off cause so many years had passed... "Great". I owed the i.r.s. & state close to $35,000 in back taxes... I find out i can do a offer/compromise & clear most of it up... Michael says, I can do that.. That he has over 20yrs in bankruptcy, criminal, civil ect helping people... Gives me $500 back... So $1,800 to do this & it only costs $150 each, for state & i.r.s to file paper to do this . . it's been over 2yrs.. A year ago I call the state & i.r.s to see if I can find out anything.... They have no clue about him as my attorney.... WOW... Ask him about it , then he acts like he is all gun hole now.. Few months pass... Then he tells me the State doesn't do offer compromises... I go online to mn state & find out that you can... Tell him... He is all gun hole again.. Then says will do i.r.s claim first... Few months go by. Get denied for failure of paperwork.... So 3rd time... I'm done... I'm just getting hustled. Cut my losses, Ask for 1200 of my 1800 figured for the 2 hrs of paperwork he might of did. Give him some money ... No refund in the mail for what I asked. He didn't even complete quarter of what I hired him to do.. Some easy paperwork in his free time.. He had no clue how to do it or he is just a hustler & not honest .... I feel very cheated.

Excellent service! Couldn't be happier! I got in wayyyyy over my head and didn't know where to…read moreturn. Couldn't even afford a bankruptcy, let alone an attorney to help me through the process. That's when I found Mr. Pepin and help me he did. My debt is gone, I was able to get all my questions answered, he was even there for me on weekends. We worked out a financial arrangement and just like that Mr. Pepin got to work, the phone calls stopped and before I knew it, I got a letter of discharge. I highly recommended Michael, you won't be disappointed!

I hired Steve Messick to help me with a family dispute over a trust fund that belongs to my…read moreintellectually disabled sister. I should've known right off the bat that this was a bad idea. While Christine Boulay, his assistant was pleasant, when Steve called me back to discuss the case, he was flat, unenthusiastic, and uninterested. Against my better judgement I retained him anyway as I wanted to get started as soon as possible. At no time did Steve Messick call me to explain the process of the case or what to expect. In fact, as the case moved along over the summer, there were actually incidents of him asking ME what to do!! WTH!? I'm paying you thousands of dollars to help me navigate these shark infested waters, and you're asking me what to do!?! I had to tell him yet again what I needed/wanted, even though he feigned that he already knew... Then, as important dates approached, such as filing a motion in court, the firm would hit me with another huge bill. This happened three separate times, and I found it ironic that these bills would appear right when we were at a critical point in the case process. No coincidence! 100% planned! And poor form!! I also had to constantly stay on top of Christine with case progress. I had to e-mail and call multiple times any time I needed an update on the status of any event, such as if the motion was filed in court, whether or not the opposing party had been properly served, whether or not I needed to attend certain meetings etc. In short, communication was TERRIBLE!!! In the end Christine sent me three different invoices all for the same services, with three DIFFERENT amounts!! When I questioned her about this, she wrote me an extensive e-mail trying to explain away her lack of attention to detail and non-communication! After them trying to send me yet another bill for $1900, I was DONE!! I let them know how crappy this was. Then, without a phone call of ANY kind to resolve the miscommunication, this JERK of an attorney simply filed paperwork withdrawing his services as my attorney...2 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEARING DATE!!! This spells in no uncertain terms: ZERO CHARACTER, and the WORST that most people see in attorneys!! Unless you want to experience all of the above and worse, DONT CONTACT THIS FIRM!!! P.S. I hired a smart, competent, female attorney from a different firm the same day, and told them as well to NEVER refer anyone to Steve Messick!

Messick Law is an extraordinary law firm. Steve Messick honored my needs for a power-of-attorney…read more Instead of trying to force me into a standard-one-fits-all, Steve listened to me and my concerns. He was patient with my questions of the process and the meanings in the document. I learned so much from him. When I said what I wanted, he put it in language that is understandable (to lay people like me) and legal. I found Steve to be compassionate, kind, professional, friendly, and respectful. Steve is the BEST. Plus, interactions with the other staff, for example, scheduling and documents was excellent.
