We used this attorney for a divorce, and I would not recommend him. He is not timely, not…read moreresponsive, and wordy to not answer questions directly. Later, he was contacted after my father died about the divorce decree and what it states and how his ex-wife was not abiding by the decree... he simply shrugged it off and said, "Take her to small claims court." And an insensitive "I'm sorry to hear that. " Please do your research, and I wish there were more reviews because I'm sure there are positives, just not in this case.

Deeply Disappointing Experience - Proceed with Caution…read more My oldest sister solely and secretively engaged attorney Chris Jeter for estate planning, expecting fairness and professionalism for my parents who didn't even make the request. Instead, the documents he produced placed one sibling (my sister) in sole control of everything (trustee, executor, power of attorney, health care decisions) while sidelining the others. This structure ran completely counter to my parents' clearly stated wishes for equal treatment among their three children. Even more troubling, Jeter continued with a meeting despite my father (who is 90 years old) twice stating he did not want to proceed. That total disregard for my father and mother left us with the impression that one sibling's agenda was prioritized over our parents' actual voice not to mention borderline elder abuse and coercion. My father was angry when forced into a Zoom meeting by Jeter, my sister and her second husband. The documents he created also contained red flags: "Gift equalization" language that could be used to reclassify legitimate loans as gifts. Waivers of bond and reporting, removing normal safeguards and accountability. No checks or balances, essentially consolidating all authority into one person's hands. Estate planning should protect families and reflect the true intent of the clients. In our case, these drafts would have increased conflict and stripped away fairness. I was so concerned by his conduct that I filed a complaint with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission. I cannot recommend this attorney and urge others seeking balanced estate planning to look elsewhere.

By far the worst and biggest waste of money I've ever spent on an attorney. If you want attorney's…read moreto call you back or care about your case or put forth the effort, this is not the place to hire an attorney. They charged us over 12,000 dollars to literally bear zero fruit in helping us in our case. Very misleading star reviews on Google. They charge you an excessive amount of money every time you text through their app or call on the phone past 6 minutes. They misinformed us about documentation, did not defend our position, never called back, and treated us poorly for questioning their actions. I highly recommend you find a different place to hire an attorney if you want someone to care about helping you defend your case. I have many words to discuss, but there is not enough time to break down every meticulous issue my family has had to endure and suffer due to this law firm.

I used Bryan Ciyou back in 2016-17 for my VERY complex and rather disturbing divorce case. He…read moreswiftly took my family's grim situation to an emergency custody hearing and I had my daughter in my custody two hours after the judge gave her ruling! Bryan is quite in tune with the ever changing and growingly confusing rule of law and is a master of codification. He made detailed notes at consultation and also as things progressed. He thoroughly does his homework, gives accurate and wise advice in real time as new issues arise, is very professional, formulates a comprehensive strategy and "goes for the throat". I was VERY weary of hiring the wrong lawyer when I began my search for representation because of all the horror stories online and everywhere else. I had actually wasted money having multiple consultations before meeting with Bryan. Before I hired Bryan, I had trouble sleeping at night. I hired Bryan on the spot after my consultation and could finally get a good nights rest. He is not cheap by any means but the VALUE he brings to your litigation is insurmountable. I'd rather have my daughter than anything else on earth. It's just money, you can always make more; but your children are irreplaceable!!! If you feel the same way about your children, then Bryan Lee Ciyou is the representation that you want (need) in your corner. Bryan is hands down the APEX of complex litigation. All of his staff members are top tier talent as well, they actually saved me money by taking care of a lot of the paperwork and even drafting up some of the more advanced motions to file that staff at other firms might not be qualified to do. In my experience, the law offices of Ciyou and Dixon are a slam dunk!!! Thank you Bryan and staff, keep up the phenomenal work!!!!
