Natalie and her paralegal are bar none…read more I have heard from several others of their frustrations with their attorneys. Attorneys that do not communicate, attorneys that get nothing done yet keep asking for more money. Attorneys that do not fight for the paying client, but on the contrary, seem to be favoring the opposing side. None of these were the case with Natalie. She and her paralegal were caring, empathetic, reassuring, intelligent, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and if that weren't enough, made me feel as if I were their only client the entire year+ that I worked with them. They never made me feel like I had asked one too many questions or that their very busy schedule was beyond their taking the time I needed. Natalie always communicated within 24 hours and 99% of the time, responded the same day. She was continually working on my case to move it forward. She was always a step ahead of me, consistently communicating what the next steps were. If I asked her a question, I never got a short, pacifying answer. She not only would answer my question, but explained the law around the answer, what our options were, and how to move the case forward. She was impressively creative in the ways she came up with to handle each issue that arose in the divorce process. When Natalie said she was going to do something, she did it. Without fail. I don't believe I could have ever gotten better representation than I did with Natalie. She fought for me as if she were fighting for herself. She conducted herself in a highly professional and knowledgeable manner before the judge and with the opposing counsel. I could not be happier with the outcome - an outcome I wouldn't have come close to obtaining had I not been represented by her. Honestly, I haven't one negative thing to say. Natalie is the whole package and then some. I will forever be so grateful that Natalie represented me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I have to agree with Adam G. from 8/22 in that mediation with Carey Hyatt is a complete waste of…read moretime as I also incurred substantial expense due to an error SHE made in our final Decree document. And, when presented with it just a few weeks later, she refused to take responsibility for it or amend her own mistake. After our long, grueling mediation day via Zoom, she assured me that the deal she mediated was the best I could hope for and that if I didn't sign that evening, my spouse could change his mind and take everything back off the table. Feeling pressured, I signed. We had agreed to an even split of assets (36 year marriage) plus a decent amount of spousal maintenance. Before finalizing our Decree, she had created and sent each of us her detailed asset list showing a summary of every calculation on each side of the ledger. We both approved. However, her final document FAILED to include my equity portion of our residences in the narrative (although it was shown in her own asset division list). It was only a few weeks later that I realized she had not included the same figures as agreed to. When I attempted to address this gross oversight with her, she sent an abrupt response that the agreement stood as written and that if I wanted to address anything about it, I should take it up with my husband. We had already paid in full and so she washed her hands of our situation! This prolonged our divorce by 9 more months as my husband fought the original agreement, feigning ignorance of those figures. In the end, there was substantial expense for two attorneys and I ended up receiving less than an even split of our assets and none of the agreed-upon spousal maintenance. A tough lesson to learn, however, it's disappointing to be stonewalled by Judge Hyatt when clear proof exists of the original intent of the agreement. It's been close to a year and I'm still flabbergasted that an experienced judge could ignore her own negligence in her own court document. In my opinion, she is unethical and extremely unprofessional, to say nothing of her carelessness and blatant refusal to accept responsibility in her duty as a mediator. Do yourself a favor and find someone else to mediate for you!!

I felt that she listened and really tried to help. Just recently I chose to work with this practice again but with a different attorney, Kathleen Stillman. Unfortunately this was NOT a good experience! She didn't listen, and seemed unprepared. I felt that her priority was to milk as much money as possible and didn't care if the consequences outweighed the benefits. If you choose this practice, I would not recommend Kathleen. Hire Jenny Gadow or another attorney in the practice. Unfortunately my latest experience has colored my perception of the entire practice.

Dan Raynak is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Arizona…read more While in custody on my first court date, nearly an hour after being told I was not eligible for a bond by another attorney, he had a bond in place for me and I was out of jail the following day. I recently put myself in a bind through a probation violation which, through most attorneys, would have likely resulted in jail time and harsher restrictions. Dan took the time to meticulously review every detail of the case files and compare my account line-by-line. He highlighted the contradictions and faults, and aggressively pursued my defense. Prosecutors and probation officers are not accustomed to (or are prepared for) the force of the defense strategies Dan's been practicing for 30+ years. The end result was Dan had three of the four allegations against me dismissed. I was sentenced to no jail time or harsher restrictions and exited the courtroom with what ended up actually being a more positive situation. This is, in my view, the hallmark of an elite attorney. Dan Raynak's experienced and aggressive defense is the closest you can get to supernatural intervention in Maricopa County. Everyone's case is different, though I know if I had not hired him, I would likely be in jail and life on probation would be far more difficult. The degree of assertive creativity and professionalism with which Dan and his assistant handled my case was second to none and I would absolutely hire him again.

My first indication of how good an attorney he is was when, nearly an hour after being told I was not eligible for a bond by another attorney, he had a bond in place for me and I was out of jail the following day. I recently put myself in a bind through a probation violation which, through most attorneys, would have likely resulted in jail time and harsher restrictions. Dan, having handled hundreds of probation cases for various offenses, took the time to meticulously review every detail of the case files and compare my account line-by-line. He highlighted the contradictions and faults, and aggressively pursued my defense during the court hearings as well as from his office through his filings. Prosecutors and probation officers are not accustomed to, and are hardly prepared for, the force of the defense strategies Dan's been practicing for 30+ years. The end result was Dan had three of the four allegations against me dismissed. I was sentenced to no jail time or harsher restrictions, and exited the courtroom with better probation terms and a lower monthly fine. Here is my timeline: 1. Arrested 2. Told I was non-bondable and must stay in jail 3. Dan gets me a bond and I am out the next day 4. Dan writes and has a motion granted that improves my probation terms 5. A month of preparation and motions by Dan goes into the court 6. I am sentenced to no jail time, no additional restrictions, lower fines, and three of the four charges are dismissed This is, in my view, the legal equivalent of miracle. Dan Raynak's experienced, aggressive, and knowledgeable defense of his cases is the closest you can get to supernatural intervention in Maricopa County. Everyone's case is different, though I know if I had not hired him, I would likely be in jail and life on probation would be far more difficult.
