    Though most people don't ever hope for a divorce, those who go through them hope for a good one…read more And one way to have a good one is of course to have a great lawyer, but perhaps also to think about the process as a way to come to mutual agreements about moving forward, as opposed to a battle of separate interests. For those who lean toward the former approach, Adrienne Keith is a fantastic resource, not only as a lawyer but as a calm, steady person. She works in Collaborative Law as well as mediation, and is active not only in volunteering but also in writing an insightful, funny, sensitive blog about divorce and family law-related topics (http://splitsvillenews.com/). While I didn't technically utilize Collaborative Law (she provides legal divorce services other than just that process), Adrienne was so helpful in carefully walking me through each step of the process, always calm, professional yet warm, and perfectly prepared. I truly appreciated her attitude of non-combativeness and of working to find mutual solutions to sticky issues. Should you find yourself or know someone who's in the situation of needing representation through a divorce or family law issue, do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. Plus, on the way out of the courthouse she handed me a really thick envelope....When I got home, I opened it. A lovely bar, of bittersweet chocolate. What more can a girl want when she gets her old name back?

    Expensive, Slow, and the Agreement Already Fell Apart…read more I used Truce Law in 2023/24 for my divorce, involving both children and financial assets to divide. I worked directly with Justin. He is convincing, knowledgeable, and genuinely makes you feel like the collaborative approach will protect your kids and your interests. That pitch is what sold me. I wish the execution had matched it. The process involves paying for an entire team Justin recommends: a mediator, a Divorce Financial Analyst, and attorneys for both parties (including Justin himself). At the hourly rates involved, you expect competence. What I got was not meeting the expectation, at least from the Divorce Financial Analyst. The work product was so poor and unclear that I ended up rebuilding the asset division calculations myself from scratch, with full transparency and no ambiguity. That is work the analyst failed to do, repeatedly. Justin also dropped the ball on communication and follow-up. The agreement was not finalized on time. I had to push things forward myself over the Christmas break. His explanation was essentially that he was stretched thin across other cases. We eventually failed to have an agreement signed before the end of the year. The biggest promise of the collaborative approach is that a well-crafted agreement prevents future legal conflict. That promise has not held up. My agreement is ambiguous in key areas, and I am now dealing with exactly the kind of disputes they told me this process would prevent. Any vagueness in the document has become a point of contention. Long process, high cost, mediocre team, and an agreement that is already causing problems. I would not recommend this firm, do your homework.

    My experience with this firm was deeply disappointing and harmful, both financially and…read moreemotionally. My spouse and I hired Truce with the clear goal of finding solutions to maintain stability for our daughter by keeping the family home. From the start, we expressed openness to a variety of options -- refinancing, payment plans, creative asset divisions -- but none of these were ever explored. Instead, when my initial retirement offer was declined, the mediator simply asked what I was going to do. When I responded that all I had was the house, her reply was, "Okay, you're selling. What month?" That was the entirety of the guidance. We were promised expertise and fair scenarios for how to keep the home, yet no such solutions were ever provided. During our initial consultation, we were told that the mediator would review our financials and help identify the best financial options available to us. I specifically understood this to mean I would not need to hire an outside financial advisor -- that this expertise was included in what we were paying for. This never happened. That promise turned out to be empty, and the experience felt very much like a bait and switch. The mediation process itself was mishandled. Separate breakout rooms were used unnecessarily, which undermined communication and strained what had been an amicable relationship with my spouse. Instead of fostering cooperation, the process left us feeling railroaded into rushed decisions we didn't want, without the transparency or support that we were promised during the consultation. The billing practices were just as troubling. Before we even met, $1,500 was billed for scheduling correspondence. I was then charged for messages and drafts that were never sent, for Zoom links resent multiple times, and even for the firm's own need to reschedule. Screenshots confirm that I was billed for correspondence that never occurred. More alarming, I was charged for work labeled as "housing options" and "primary residence scenarios" -- the very solutions we hired the firm to provide -- but these drafts were never created or shared. Despite acknowledging these billing errors and promising corrections, the invoices remained inconsistent and nontransparent. Even the basics were sloppy: my name was repeatedly recorded incorrectly in official documents. The firm's own leadership later admitted that we were also overcharged on hourly rates: $575 for legal work instead of the contracted $500, $265 for paralegal time instead of $220, and $175 for legal assistant time instead of $120. They promised to adjust all bills, apply discounts, and review their processes to prevent such mistakes in the future. While this confirmed what I had already raised, it only fixed their accounting errors -- it did nothing to address the fact that the core services promised were never delivered. To make matters worse, after raising all of these concerns in writing, I never once received a direct response from the lead attorney. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the time of this review, I am still waiting for a corrected refund and an accurate invoice. Ultimately, we spent thousands of dollars and walked away with no solutions, more conflict than before, and the need to start over with another mediator at additional cost and delay. This has added a ridiculous amount of stress and wasted time during an already arduous divorce, which is the last thing any family in crisis needs. Families going through divorce are in an incredibly vulnerable position. They deserve compassion, expertise, and transparency. What we experienced instead was pressure, disorganization, unfulfilled promises, unresolved billing problems, and practices that felt exploitative. I regret ever hiring this firm, and I cannot recommend their services to anyone.

I don't see how they could live with themselves and you'll get a surprise Bill and not letting you know your retainer was eaten up within the first month and not filed nothing in the courts yet awful business..Should be ashamed of yourself legal thievery at its finest !

They were firm, direct, clear and no bullshit plus they were on top of their communication with me. They fought for me and for my family and shut down my wasband's lies at every turn. In the end I was divorced in just under a year with the parenting plan I wanted in place. I worked with Ms. Skeen quite a bit as well to prepare for hearings and she was understanding, helpful, kind and also took no crap from my wasband- she worked hard to get me what I needed. If you want no sugar coating and to know ahead of time what you will most likely get- go to Jack Berner, et. al. Thank you Berner Law Group- I will be back if there are ever future issues for sure.

I decided to give her a call and we set up an appointment, lucky for me that she happened to be in the office because she is usually in court representing her clients. I just read some reviews and I'm not sure why the one negative review because she treated me well. Chi is good at what she does and that is she represented me as a client in court, I didn't even have to be there. While speaking with her on the phone, I decided to retain her as an attorney on my case as she sounded professional and knowledgeable. I brought everything that she asked, looked them over and she told me everything up front---the costs and what to expect of the outcome. She is prompt and courteous and she did everything that she said that she would do. She always replied to my phone calls and text---depending on which we had agreed to and set up. She would let me know ahead of time if there were changes or anything else that would be involved. With Chi, everything was up front. She got my ticket dismissed and also refunded me like 90% of the fees that were refundable ( I think that it had something to do with administrative cost. I feel that Chi is an excellent attorney and with her you will know what to expect and what to expect of her. She is honest and did me a great service. And to the one star, no one asked me to write this and it isn't a fake.

I contacted her around September to handle my case, and from time to time I asked her for updates in which she gave me very basic information. One day the DOL sends me a notice that my drivers license has been suspended because of failure to notice the court of my options. Mind you, this is something that is completely done by the lawyer. I message Chi, and she started to blame the court about how ridiculous they were, but in reality she should've kept status on my case. It's clear Chi treats each case as a $$ bag and doesn't care to check up on the status of her clients cases. As a result, this lead my insurance going up because Chi was unable to keep up with my case. Why would I go to a lawyer just to have my insurance go up....... and having to deal with that.??? Although she helped me with my ticket It's clear she doesn't value her customers and her replies are just straight up unprofessional at times. I wouldn't recommend her and steer away, there are other lawyers. A
