Each time, she got the job done quickly, professionally, and without any hassle for us. Her communication is clear and straightforward, which makes the entire process smooth. I read the one negative review she has, and I will say that Lynda is definitely very direct, and she is also very busy because she's good at what she does. Her efficient and no-nonsense style allows litigants to stay focused on their cases and gives peace of mind. If you expect someone who will hold your hand through the process, that might not be her style--but if you want someone who is efficient, reliable, and gets results, she's the right person for the job. I'll continue using her for all my process serving needs and highly recommend her to anyone who wants the job done right the first time.

Voicemail instructs you to email. I emailed, and was told to reply with instructions, which I did last week. Advised her that our documents are paper- and we could meet to deliver to her. Her website states that paper documents are acceptable, but apparently they are not. Five days later we received the response attached here. I can see why this person is in business for themselves, as any employer would fire them. I can scarcely believe how rude and useless this person is. Now we have found a professional through another company. The only good thing to say about this is that my friend will not be recommending her anymore, and at least I did not lose any money.

I needed a divorce attorney asap and was referred to HLG…read more There was a lack of time and energy put into my case. I expected them to tell me step-by-step what I needed to do and they never gave me all the info/details I needed. Ex. - Before my hearing, they told me which documents were required by the court but failed to tell me there was a page limit. Also, I thought the first hearing would determine the custody/divorce. I didn't know I would wait months for the hearing that would determine everything. Bob handed my case over to Andrew without letting me know. Less time/attention was put into my case after the first hearing. I only got phone calls/emails from them when the court required something. There were numerous times that I had to call/email them to ask them to answer my first call/email after days of no response. I was charged the minimum time allotment (I think 20 mins) for them to read an email which asked them to respond to my first email. When a g.a.l. was appointed, I was mailed some paperwork and Bob said I didn't need to fill any of it out. Then after getting an email from the g.a.l. asking for paperwork, I looked through the papers and realized that I did need to fill it out. This was embarrassing and made me look bad. Andrew went with me to mediation. Most of the mediation was me just sitting there and Andrew chiming in every now and then. I didn't get the help and guidance that I paid so much for. I also got very mixed signals in terms of feeling like he was on my side and trying to protect me from the stuff my ex-husband and his attorney were trying to get away with. He pointed things out a few times that they had tried to sneak into the parenting plan and he said this isn't ok and needs to be changed. Other times he seemed indifferent/like he didn't care and was super quiet. By the time my court hearing came up I wanted to find a different attorney but felt like I didn't have enough time to do so. Due to all of the above, I made a decision that I will regret for the rest of my life and made a deal with my ex because I felt I had no other choice. After all of the paperwork was finalized and I was mailed copies of everything, I was told by Andrew that I could go ahead and change my name at any time. I went to the DOL to update my license only to find out that my copy of the paperwork WASN'T CERTIFIED and that I would need to come back with a certified copy. I had to call and ask that they send me one without charging me for it... When my bf picked up my trial retainer refund, Dena was super rude and unprofessional towards him and laughed at him when he was surprised the refund was only $300. She joked about it with the other office staff saying we thought we were going to get it all back. My bf corrected her and said no we didn't expect to get it all back but we expected more than that since we didn't go to trial. The next year, my ex moved with our kids out of the boundary that's listed in our parenting plan. I had to take him to court, so I found a new attorney. My new attorney was a MILLION times more helpful. She said if Helland had asked me for documents for dr./dentist visits for my kids showing that I took them to their appts. that it is a HUGE factor in determining custody. NO ONE AT HELLAND TOLD ME THIS/EVER MENTIONED IT! She ALSO said attorneys who nickel-and-dime people don't like those clients and most attorneys who have ethics/morals don't do this. Knowing that I easily could have gotten full custody (especially after going to court and seeing other custody cases where the mother was awarded full custody despite not working or had things that I thought were "negative" going against her) and HLG failed me/took my money is incredibly depressing. Helland Law Group has negatively affected me and my kids' lives for the rest of their adolescent years. I will regret the choices I felt forced to make due to their failure to properly help me for the rest of my life.

Beverly did not once reply to an email, her assistants, Ann and Kiss'Shonna seemed to play hot potato with my case, had little knowledge concerning a divorce that involved children and a business, they do not prioritize customer satisfaction or peace of mind. My experience with this firm has left me feeling taken advantage of, ashamed as a father, and failed husband, and now due to the poor level of representation I chose, will end up seeing my son even less and paying off debt for years to come. The billing department does not reply to emails either. Dont bother trying to call anyone once you are a client, as that is near impossible to get ahold of someone without 10 minutes of hold music, and then a message saying to leave your name and someone will get back to you, if not call back in 10 minutes, over and over.

It's disappointing and "strange" to see such a defensive and dismissive response to feedback. If your firm does not offer consultations, perhaps clarifying the language on your page ( "Get a virtual consultation" ) button, would help avoid confusion. Rather than addressing concerns constructively, your reply comes across as condescending, which only reinforces doubts about working with your firm. A professional approach would not involve belittling someone for comparing prices and making an informed decision. Clients seek not just expertise, but also respect and transparency. I'm glad i didn't invest my time or money at this law-firm. My intent was simply to inform others about the prices.
