Working with them has been a terrible experience, if I could give them zero stars I would.

Please see my charge from Tibble Law Office for $450 at:…read morehttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/-PGH03bRDqptqpxqwzte_A?select=cFv1Ugn4dHN6YNCogLj6kA. Now, as the response to my original review states: "This bizarre and slanderous story never happened" There would need to be a requirement that the claim be false. The bill showing the charge would show otherwise, that I was in fact a customer of Tibble Law Office. Granted, I did use colorful language to describe the situation, but this is an opinion site and I was stating my opinion. To address the second portion of the response to my original review: "There are a number of misconceptions about traffic cases that this article perpetuates 1. Attorneys do not negotiate with a judge, only the prosecutor 2. In Michigan you can never negotiate the number of points a violation carries. They are automatically assigned after conviction. Prosecutors cannot impact a matter that is only a State function. The way to reduce points is to have the case dismissed or amended to a different charge. 3. Traffic cases are prosecuted differently in each jurisdiction. Students at WMU often deal with a less flexible system than in nearby districts. Having a knowledgable attorney can give the best information and approach to increase your odds of success. " I am NOT a lawyer and I never claimed to be. In the process of stating my OPINION, I am sure that I may have gotten the technical terms in statement "1." mixed up. How many times have you gone to the doctor to describe your ischemic bi-lateral pulmonary infarcation concerns based on a contra-indicated series of prescriptions causing tachycardia? That's right: you don't. You complain of chest pains, because you are a layperson, just like me. To address "2.": I'm sure this may be the law, yet, I was told otherwise by Mr. Tibble at the time of the "defense". 3. I'm sure all traffic courts are pretty inflexible, but your best bet is probably to show up at court to fight the ticket by yourself and if the officer does not show up, you may have the case dismissed. No lawyer required. Like I said before this is an OPINION site and I'm merely expressing my opinion. I'm sure even this response can have the "magic" of the law waved over it to make it appear that I'm some random anonymous Internet person faking all of this, but you should ask yourself these two questions: 1. Why would I go through all of this trouble digging up credit card statements to prove I was a customer? 2. If you were considering using this law office, would you risk being not even acknowledged as a customer?

I would recommend her to anyone and would use her again if I ever need legal assistance.

This mediator charges much more than the average and writes non-enforceable agreements. When going…read morethrough a divorce, my then husband and I went here and came out with a signed agreement. I asked for the paperwork to submit to the courts like they say on the phone they will provide. They refused to give it to me and said,"You are not ready for it." Seriously? I don't need to be told whether or not I am ready to file. That is my decision and they lied because that paperwork is something they said they provide and will type up for you at the mediation. When I ended up having to go to court to get the mediation agreement upheld because my spouse wanted to back out on it, the courts did not uphold the agreement because the mediator told my spouse's lawyer it wasn't a final agreement, which was a lie. Basically they wanted us to have to come back to mediation yet again and spend tons more money. Don't waste your time, money, and energy. This is NOT a mediator on the court approved list. You can get the domestic mediator list from the Kalamazoo City Office.
