I just had my divorce hearing and Mrs Van Matre was amazing. I can tell you she is very bright,…read moreprofessional and has a kind demeanor but also a lot of strengthand power in her words, attitude and will set anyone straight. You need that in an attorney. Her delivery is exceptional because of her tone, and choice of words. I would highly recommend her. I had a somewhat complicated case and she was on top of it. I did hire a forensic accountant and she knew the best in town. I live in Destin FL however I hired her despite being in Pensacola. Well worth it!

In the midst of divorce, we sought the services of Zollinger Mediation. We were informed of a $300…read moreinitial consultation fee and an hourly rate of $175. Upon meeting with Freya all was looking good until she asked for payment-$300 and informed us that her hourly rate was $285. You could say I was shocked because I never considered a mediator would attempt what appeared to be a bait and switch on us- by raising her rates by $110 over what had previously been agreed to during a phone conversation with her. If you're ok with a mediator that appears willing to be unethical, immoral, and is open to potentially breaking the law- this one's perfect for you. On a side note- I even had to involve authorities to assist with retrieving my personal documents from her- which was successful. Does having to involve the authorities sound like something you'd want to have to handle on top of a divorce? Yeah- quite a shocker for us too. In the end- we will move forward with anyone besides Zollinger. Buyer beware- when going through divorce one needs to be able to trust their mediation team- I have no trust in Zollinger but will find a firm that has integrity and has a proven history of satisfied clients. I should have known better when I couldn't find more than one review of this business.

Used the office in Pensacola to represent me in my divorce. Advertised as 'for men only', but the…read moreoffice was all women. Multiple paperwork errors led to what I believe was an unfavorable preliminary judgement against me. Office personnel were brusque and unfriendly, representation was barely adequate at best, and ultimately I terminated them as my council and went into mediation pro se. BY MYSELF I secured a very favorable mediated agreement that I believe wouldn't have happened, otherwise. After I terminated them as council, they managed to find EXACTLY the number of billable hours necessary to avoid refunding any of the almost 10k I paid them. Wasted, in the end. The above review, of course, is my opinion. All reviews on Yelp are only opinion. But, heed it well.
