I should start off by saying this review is long overdue as my experience with Davis | Pingel law…read morefirm was far better than I could have expected. I recently hired Attorney Mandy Pingel and staff to represent me in my Divorce case and her dedication to providing excellent customer service and going above and beyond to communicate with me through every step of my case made everything far more manageable. I should also mention that the legal fees were far less than expected and I never felt that I was being taken advantage of financially. I was only charged for the actual time that each service took to complete and small fees were regularly waived. My case was complicated by the fact that I am serving in the Military and stationed out of state in North Carolina resulting in a significant time and distance barrier. While researching Law Firms in Kansas City, MO during late in 2018 Davis | Pingel stood out to me because of the online reviews from Service members that had good experiences working with the Law firm while stationed out of State. I contacted the law firm to set up a free consultation while visiting family in KC over the holidays and met with Attorney Mandy Pingel. She immediately made me feel at ease by answering all my questions and assuring me that she would be able to handle my case given the challenges of cross-state communication. Having never been involved in a legal dispute such as this, I didn't know what to expect and felt overwhelmed, but was relieved to feel that Attorney Pingel had my best interests in mind. Once I enlisted the services of Attorney Pingel she quickly started the process in filing for my divorce and kept me informed each step of the way. What I was most impressed with throughout the process was how seamless communication was. Every time I had an issue or concern Attorney PIngel would address it as soon as possible despite her busy schedule. I could contact her after hours or during weekends and always received a timely response. There were several obstacles that I encountered over the course of the divorce process due to my ex-wife's efforts to delay the court hearings in order to continue receiving military mandated spousal support. However, Attorney Pingel was there every step of the way to provide sound legal advice. The biggest challenge to my case was that I received deployment orders and required a court date prior to my deployment date which was late in 2019. I had a very narrow window in which I could make a court appearance in Missouri due to training and other service-related obligations. Attorney Pingel went out of her way and ensured that I had a court date that I was able to make. Furthermore, she was able to close out the case and finalize my divorce with only one court appearance. I was spared very significant financial burdens and an incredible amount of personal stress due to the efforts of Attorney Pingel. Whether you are living in KC or are a resident serving in the Military out of state I could not give a higher recommendation than I give to Attorney Mandy Pingel. She understands and respects the challenges to all family law matters as well as the unique challenges that service member encounter. Additionally, I need to mention that her support staff, namely Paralegal Tsion Mehari, went above and beyond throughout all phases of my case. Paralegal Mehari worked over her weekend to ensure that court documents were completed for my hearing and answered all questions that I had through the process.

I spent approximately 1 month and $1000 for them to lose things repeatedly regarding my case, not…read morefollow through, and then gaslight me about what had happened. They didn't remember anything about me after my consultation. I had to call multiple times. Just a waste of time and money. I'm shocked at the lack of professionalism or interest in following through with the basic things. Three weeks after I signed a contract and paid the retainer, literally nothing had been done, not even a list of steps. When I asked for a meeting, an hour before the meeting, a list of steps appeared that did not go along with the details of my case. When I met with my lawyer, she wanted to defend herself instead of figuring out how to move forward. She seemed annoyed that I bringing it up, even though this is a domestic violence case that will escalate as soon as something is filed. I would not recommend this place.

After pleading my concerns and wanting partial custody Mr. Wortman was nothing short of exceptional. Mark Wortman enlighten me of my rights as a father, gave excellent advice, and went to battle for me. Over the course of the case which was around 9 months, Mark was in constant communication going over ideas and strategies to help us in my custody case. In the end... Mark Wortman won my case and the judge awarded me partial custody. My favorite part is if I decide to move back to Kansas we can revisit the order and adjust it to 50/50 split after a year of the initial order. Mark also arranged a great parenting plan for me to spend time with my daughter since I don't currently live in the same state. Seriously Mark Wortman is the best attorney I have ever had hands down! Mark is understanding, smart, honest, offers a great price point, and will fight for you to the end! Mark Wortman thanks for helping get my daughter back in my life. God bless you and your family.

I hired her again recently, and not until I'd already given her my $2500 retainer did she say that she'd raised her rate to $500 / hr! I met with her to discuss what little I needed done this time, as I regularly communicate directly with the case manager to get most things done. I told her that I simply needed an advocate for myself and my children, and she claimed that she would probably be able to get me what I needed. I didn't hear back about what we discussed, and when I emailed to ask her about it, her reply made no sense, as if she hadn't actually read what I wrote! I replied that exact thing, and that I hoped she wasn't charging me for each extra email she read/wrote that was a misunderstanding on her part. She replied with a lengthy, rude rant about how she could do whatever she wanted, claiming that I was being rude in question what she was doing (which was actually nothing), and said that she was going to recuse herself as my lawyer, but only refund me what's left over. So, she took my $ and made promises, wasted time & money, and is probably going to send me back very little of my $2500 retainer. DO NOT HIRE THIS SCAM ARTIST!
