But I was lucky that my friend recommended Gillespie, Shields & Taylor Law Firm for my family law case that had been ongoing for almost 1.5 years at the time, and I will be forever grateful. I had initially tried to represent myself but the other party made it impossible to make any progress. Luckily I found DeeAn Gillespie. She was sharp, caring and compassionate since our initial consultation and I hired her on the spot. The extensive experience of DeeAn and her team was evident throughout the process. DeeAn's expertise in family law, combined with her compassion and strategic approach, provided me with confidence and peace of mind. Paralegal Deborah was also instrumental, ensuring all aspects of my case were handled efficiently and professionally. I worked closely with Deb and it was evident that she was committed and invested in quality work to get the best possible outcome for me. I also interacted with Paralegal Perla during the first week, and the day of the scheduled trial. The entire team worked diligently to achieve a favorable result, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking knowledgeable and caring legal assistance.

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with the Buescher Law Firm in Mesa, AZ, and…read morespecifically with Jan Buescher, was so poor that I feel compelled to warn others. From the start, I found Jan Buescher to be extremely temperamental and entitled. She gave the impression of being kind and caring, but my experience was the exact opposite. Unless you constantly push her to take action, nothing gets done. She took my money and, in my opinion, did absolutely nothing to move my case forward. If you question her or her lack of progress, be prepared to be reprimanded rather than helped. When I could no longer afford to pay more, she found a way to drop me as a client--even though she had done little to nothing for my case. Her hours of operation are practically nonexistent, and she is almost impossible to reach. The office is run more like a strange academy than a professional law firm. Jan does not have a "team" as advertised. There is one paralegal and a part-time secretary, both of whom are extremely difficult to get a hold of and, frankly, not very pleasant to deal with. To make matters worse, I later discovered that Jan Buescher was actually disciplined by the Arizona Bar in 2019, receiving an admonition and probation for professional misconduct. Had I known this before, I would never have hired her. I ended up filing a complaint with the Arizona Bar Association myself, and I would do it again without hesitation. In my opinion, Jan Buescher cannot be trusted to represent her clients' best interests. I strongly urge anyone considering this firm to look elsewhere.

This is partially in response to Miciah D's review…read more I am the former Mrs. Miciah D. Here's the whole story. PK was very professional and kind, to both of us. She told us up front that she didn't take sides, and even makes that promise in writing. We began with a free consultation; we discussed the terms of mediation, and PK outlined what she did and what she did not do as a mediator. She was not going to make decisions for us, but she would hear both sides, and offer guidance and suggestions if need be. We began mediation directly after the consultation, focusing on our kids and how our split schedule would work. PK kept the questions flowing, bringing up things Miciah and I hadn't even thought of. With her help, we began to get a grasp on what the process of divorcing would entail, and how our lives would need to be divided. We scheduled the next session. Miciah was displeased that we would have to wait 2 weeks for another appt - he wanted to "get the show on the road". PK was apologetic - her schedule fills quickly, and she had already agreed to accommodate Miciah for a time she didn't usually offer for our free consultation. (If I'm remembering correctly, she doesn't do free consultations in the afternoon, but she had agreed to meet us at 3pm on a Friday. Already she was being accommodating.) PK emailed a list of documents she needed to get the process rolling. Bank statements, financial summaries, etc. Our appointment day arrived. 3:30 was our appt time. Miciah was 15 minutes late, claiming traffic. I had taken the same route 20 mins earlier, and had run into no traffic. I mention this merely so you have an understanding of how Miciah's mind works sometimes. PK welcomed him when he arrived, and waved off his lateness with a smile. (At 3:20, she had come into the lobby and greeted me, and asked where Miciah was. I told her I honestly didn't know, which was true. At 3:30, she invited me into the conference room, saying "We'll go ahead and get started, and he can join us when he gets here.") We began our second appointment, which was to mostly cover finances. PK brought up a clothing budget for the kids, which worked out to $60 per month for each of us. Miciah was stunned. "No way," he responded. "There's no way we ever spend that much on clothing for our kids." "You have boys," PK reminded us. "Shoes can eat that up in one shot. It's not a big number, it's pretty realistic." Miciah shook his head. He continued to protest the number, saying it was too high, despite the fact that up until the divorce he'd done almost none of the kids shopping. PK did not waffle under his protests. She asked him what number he wanted her to write on the board, and he told her. She did, and we moved on. At the end, she commended us, telling us our budgets were realistic and well thought out. We left with more assignments of what to send her. PK told us we shouldn't need to come in again until we signed our finished agreement, and so the most expensive part of mediation was mostly finished. After this, we did not hear from PK for several days. Miciah fretted, wondering what was taking her so long. We emailed her, and she reassured us that she would get back to us soon, that she had a few clients finishing up their contracts, and some professional obligations to take care of, but that we were in her queue. A few days later she began sending bits of the contract, asking us to edit in red. Miciah began protesting things we had discussed in mediation, and thus began a $500 email fight between him and me. PK remained neutral, said we were doing good work and to keep communication flowing. He began demanding changes to our agreement - for instance, me splitting the cost of the refi with him, because "he was gaining no benefit by refinancing the house into his own name" - I was gaining more by being able to walk away. PK said this wasn't really equitable - he was choosing to keep the house, so the costs were his. He said she didn't know what she was talking about. PK kept her cool. She cited her experience and what the usual course of action was. Miciah attacked her character, saying that she was a biased fraud because she was "taking my side." Eventually he and I agreed on things, and PK sent a final doc, having kept her professionalism intact. There were missing clauses and some mistakes, which I had expected because of the dozens of emails. Miciah announced that she'd done a bad job, citing all the mistakes. She apologized, and sent a new contract with corrections. In essence, she was given a difficult client, and she did her best, and in his eyes it wasn't good enough. PK is fair and a good mediator. Miciah had zero understanding for the situation he created - he merely blamed. Which is why he and I are no longer married.

Was paid 6 figures to represent me, and lost me my home, my pensions, my hard earned money, forced me to sign away anything under duress, (while my husband, who I had an Order of Protection against, stood ten feet away from me, trying to intimidate me, while A VERY biased "mediator" helped push all the wrong things, telling me we would deal with it later, how was THAT ok?!) colluded with opposing counsel, scammed me for more money any chance possible, led me on, wasted time purposefully so I would not be able to make it right, I was very traumatized and he took advantage of that. Sent me to a cooked QDRO atty. months too late, who tried to double dip, got caught, and lied in paperwork. Also a "friend". Lied brazenly. Just so happened to be buddies with the guy who was representing the fake foreclosure of our home, which was in fact privately sold for cash right under my nose... was forced to hire a real estate law group, costing thousands, because he did nothing. Lied by omission, made court changes without my knowledge, made a personal choice about my money that was not his to make, based on his opinion of my habits, & openly admitted doing so. This man is without conscience, and his favorite clients seem to be women, I could be wrong, but if Im not- those who are easily targeted or able to be manipulated. Me walking straight into that trap was a very nice deal for him. One of his old best friends lived near me, his wife told me that he was worried for me. She wanted to tell me, but didn't want to upset her husband. Precarious siuation. But that alone said a ton. I could go on, but Im just going to say, how this man puts his head on the pillow at night with any freedom or peace of conscience, is beyond comprehension. SO many awful, shady, BS details, it's STILL surreal ten years later. Caused tax issues. Is affecting my future social security. Did not stick to agreements.And Im still out a surreal amount of wealth I worked very hard to accumulate. Harassed me. Played mind games to manipulate. The absolute worst. Run ladies, fast & far like your hair is on fire. And if you cant, record every conversation, in a legal way, and protect your derriere. This guy is only interested in his own. Now Im chronically ill with a young child, should be VERY, VERY comfortable, instead, I have to decide which one cereal we can buy this week. He ruined everything I worked hard to build. I lost my home, my boat, my cars, my pensions, and a VERY hefty amount of money aside, investments, my entire business, all my clients. He allowed my ex to buy my personal website, stalk me, the man stole my name, the list is SO long it's surreal. When I finally asked for full copies of my files cover to cover, he would not oblige until I was left with no choice but to call the Bar for legal compliance. My personal bottom-line take: Evil. He will push like a child to see what he can get away with. I don't envy life's karma for him. But that's betwixt him, God and the Universe, I suppose. Good luck with that, Kossack. Shame on you. You know what you did. And so do I. So does God.

IF YOUR CASE INVOLVES CHILD CUSTODY- PLEASE DON'T USE HIM!…read more Posted by anonymous February 22, 2019 I have had to learn the hard way and at my child's expense. This lawyer will be a push over to the opposing counsel. If your case is difficult, he will collect his fee from you, do the job of a paralegal, NOT AN ATTORNEY. In other words, he will file paperwork but never answer your emails, or phone calls. He will promise you that you will have your day in court and then at the last minute cave under the pressure of the other attorney. I went 5 months without seeing my child. I am not a criminal. I don't have any CPS involvement. I am a nurse. I have a level 1 fingerprint clearance card. I have been diagnosed as bipolar. THIS IS ALL THE OTHER ATTORNEY AS ON ME. But with Ron that is enough. He will go along with whatever the other lawyer wants. Even though the other side lied about me. My ex is a substance abuser, who has set the house on fire and threatened to murder me just 4 days prior to turning the tables on me and having me hospitalized for mental illness. Well, with the help of Ron, my ex has full custody. YES, This has gone on over a year. I haven't even had a sleep over with my own child and I am the mother. This case has been going on since 2017. I don't want to go on with all the details. I think I have said enough. This lawyer doesn't care about families. He doesn't care about his clients. He will tell you after a year and a half (of being painfully separated from your child) that YOU NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. However, he never told me HOW to take responsibility. I was compliant on my meds. I had taken SEVERAL parenting classes NOT REQUIRED BY THE COURT. I had therapists wanting to testify on my behalf. Psychiatrists would wrote me beautiful letters. These letters the courts never saw. Ron is extremely passive. HE WILL NOT FIGHT FOR YOU.

Suzette is bruttaly honest and might tell you things that you don't want to hear, but its because she truly cares about her clients and her reputation. If you have anything bad to say about her being "rude" you need to take a look at yourself in the mirror. Suzette does not sugar coat anything, she is HONEST; that is not "rude"." Suzette showed up to the hearing prepared both mentally and physically. Linda prepared the most organized 3 rings binder; when I looked at the opposing party and the lack of organization and lack of professionalism I knew it was going to be a good outcome. Suzette is VERY honest in her billing. I have no regrets in using Suzette and her amazing team!! If ANYONE has anything bad to say about Suzette it's for 2 reasons.... 1. They are an opposing party and she is amazing and they don't want to go against her. OR 2.
