My attorney and paralegal helped me resolve my divorce through settlement and prepare a consent…read moredecree, which I appreciated. They were generally responsive, and the case ultimately moved toward resolution without trial. However, my experience was mixed. I sometimes had difficulty receiving clear, case specific answers to procedural questions, and there were drafting issues that required correction. Some important details were left unclear, and I occasionally had to follow up for documents or updates. I also requested clarification about billing entries because certain attorney, paralegal, and administrative tasks appeared to overlap. Overall, they helped achieve a settlement, but communication, attention to detail, and billing transparency could be improved.

They told me it would take a week to assign me an attorney. A week and a half went by and no word,…read moreI called them and still no attorney was assigned. I told them that I wanted a refund of my $3000 that I put down. They called me back and told me that my case was assigned to an attorney that was on vacation and he would be back "tomorrow" and if I wanted to meet with him I could. I asked why they would assign my case to someone that was on vacation and why would that not be communicated to me. He had no answer for that. I told them that I wanted my refund. Almost 2 weeks after depositing my money with them the front desk called me to set up an appointment to talk to an attorney that was finally assigned to me. I had to tell her that they were actually issuing a refund to me. Once my refund check was received, I could not cash it bc it was over $2500. I called them to ask them if we could split it into two checks so I could cash it and they downright refused. They have caused so much wasted time on my case and now I have to jump through hoops just to get my cash back. The office could care less about how it's impacted me. I would avoid this law group at all costs. They are severely unorganized and they do not make your case a priority.

Victor, Anne and Attorney Brianna went to work and they are back to work! Thank you for your responsiveness both day and night! Your experience and commitment to resolving our issue is greatly appreciated!

I am writing this review to provide a factual account of my experience with Knowles Law Firm and…read moreattorney Gary Nielsen, who unilaterally withdrew from my defense after collecting my final payment. Prospective clients should consider the following timeline of my representation: Courtroom Failure to Appear: I was explicitly instructed by the firm that my attendance at a mandatory court hearing was unnecessary. Upon checking with the judicial assistant, I learned my counsel's presence was mandatory. When contacted, the firm stated Mr. Nielsen was in another hearing and could not attend. It required the Judge's direct personal intervention to get him to head toward the courthouse. Questionable Financial Timing: Immediately after collecting my final payment to reach a total of $4,500, Mr. Nielsen unilaterally withdrew from my case. During our final meeting, he stated he "should have withdrawn 3 or 4 months ago." Waiting to abandon a client until the exact moment maximum fees are extracted reflects a massive breach of fiduciary priority. Inconsistent Advocacy & Admin Errors: Legal advice shifted constantly, and administrative tasks were neglected. The firm failed to submit mandatory fingerprints to the court as required. Furthermore, client portal logs showed systematic placeholders indicating discovery files were received months before they were actually ordered or accessible to me. Severe Communication Breakdown: Emails went systematically ignored, forcing me to routinely copy the managing partner just to secure a basic response.Despite failing to see my case through to resolution and admitting he wanted out months ago while continuing to take my money, management has flatly refused to issue a refund. If you want a proactive defense team that communicates transparently and shows up to represent you, look elsewhere. Public Response I have already contacted your firm multiple times explicitly requesting a resolution and a refund, and your firm flatly stated there is nothing more you can do for me. Offering a phone number publicly to look cooperative while privately refusing to remedy the situation is entirely contradictory. For the public record, this dispute is not a vague misunderstanding; it is a documented failure to adhere to the core tenets of the State Bar Ethical Rules (ER): ER 1.1 (Competence) & ER 1.3 (Diligence): Your firm failed to submit mandatory fingerprints to the court and completely failed to appear at my mandatory court hearing, requiring the Judge's direct, personal intervention to compel your attendance. Your firm failed to review evidence that I provided suggests a failure of preparation and thoroughness. Your firm consistently flip-flopped, failing to defend me. ER 1.4 (Communication): Messages and critical strategy questions were systematically ignored for weeks, forcing me to routinely copy the managing partner just to secure a basic response. Your firm on several occasions denied previous statements, flip-flopping. ER 1.5 (Attorney Fees) & ER 1.15 (Safekeeping Property/Accounting): Your firm extracted a total of $4,500--including a final $2,000 payment--only to abandon the case immediately after receiving the funds. Your case management system also used automated placeholders falsely showing discovery was received months before it was actually ordered. ER 1.7 / ER 1.8 (Duty of Loyalty and Conflict of Interest): Your firm prioritized your relationship with the prosecutor over my defense. ER 1.16 (Terminating Representation) & ER 8.4 (Misconduct): Counsel unilaterally withdrew from my defense right after securing full payment, explicitly admitting in our final meeting, 'I should have withdrawn from your case 3 or 4 months ago. 'You have my email history and my formal written demands on file. If your firm is genuinely committed to the 'high standard' you claim online, you can issue the full refund for the scope of work you failed to complete, rather than directing me to a phone line where I have already been denied a remedy.

Confident, Competent and sharp. These are the words I use for this firm and my lawyer…read more In what some people might consider a low level case but could have cost me my 20 year high-level financial services career, Jacob Wilson with this firm (as well as the supporting staff) immediately started steering the boat and not only performed a perfect information investigation with me and with the state but also the mounting of a robust and thoughtful defense to ensure my ending was what it was... which is charges and ridiculousness dismissed. This firm came with officer of the court recommendations from their peers and I am very pleased with how this case resolved. They earned every star. JT

I am not one to write reviews but my experience with Lopez Law inspired me. in 50 years of driving…read moreI had never had an alcohol related mark on my record. I recently received an open container ticket which I later found to be a criminal offense! not wanting that on my record I fronted Lopez $4,000 to reduce to a traffic ticket or go away. everything was great, until it wasn't. on the morning of my day in court "attorney Derek" shoves paperwork for me to plead guilty to the open container charge with a $750 fine- exactly. what I could have walked in myself and received. Zero effort on their part produced zero results for me. my efforts to contact to negotiate at least a partial refund have been ignored to this point. if at any point prior to the final moments before court they had informed me of my situation I would have had time to make clear decision, they did not. I strongly suggest anyone looking for legit legal counsel look. to someone else. Dennis Summers

I worked with Ryan Hodges at JacksonWhite to handle my mother's probate in Arizona while I was…read moreliving on the East Coast. JacksonWhite stood out because of the clear probate checklist and timeline they provided, along with a fixed fee. I appreciated knowing from the beginning what to expect. Ryan guided me from the initial court filings through the final distribution and closing of the estate. He was knowledgeable, responsive, practical, and always willing to answer my questions and explain what needed to happen next. Having Ryan handle the Arizona probate process made it much easier to administer the estate from out of state. The probate proceeded very much according to the timeline and expectations JacksonWhite laid out at the beginning. There were no surprises with the legal fee, and I always knew where things stood and what remained to be done. I had a very good experience working with Ryan and would highly recommend him and JacksonWhite for Arizona probate matters.

Be very careful. After spending over a year and $50,000 preparing for trial, my attorney dropped me…read morejust six days before trial. This happened immediately after I exposed alleged abuse involving the Mormon Stake President Jeremy Geigle replaced and his brother-in-law, Kevan Gurr. The timing speaks for itself. When influence and relationships come into play, your case may not be what matters most. No client should ever be left defenseless at the most critical moment.
