He was able to take the weight of dealing with the at-fault auto insurance company off my shoulders. He and his team were responsive to my questions throughout the process.

Having never required the services of a lawyer before I didn't know what to expect. James and his team kept me in the loop while taking the stress and uncertainty off my shoulders. They handled dealing with the insurance company so it was one less thing to me and my family to worry about. James and his team were compassionate and honest, I felt I could place my trust in them to handle my case to the best degree. If I or my family members need a lawyer again it will be an easy decision who to call. I recommend James to anyone unsure whether they need a lawyer after an accident. My opinion is that it can't hurt to call because the consultation is free. Personally, my experience with Edelman and Thompson was positive and now I know I was better off with a lawyer than without. They really went above and beyond for me.

PUBLIC WARNING: Regarding the Business Practices and Ethics of Dennis Waits…read more I am sharing this strictly from a crime victim's perspective to warn the public about Dennis Waits' highly questionable billing practices, manipulation of funds, and overall business ethics. After his client was denied bond, a divorce was filed in March, legally freezing all marital assets. Dennis Waits entered the criminal case on March 30. On April 2, he filed a bond review motion where he explicitly acknowledged in writing that a divorce was active.Exactly one week later, a marital IRA check for was issued. The exact same day that check arrived, Dennis Waits completely withdrew the bond motion. The fight to get his client out of jail vanished the second the cash hit his pocket. He promised his client he could get him released, giving someone in a vulnerable position completely false hope just to lock down a contract and use them as a fast payday. When my divorce attorney filed a Motion to Restrain the respondent and his agents from touching the IRA on April 30th, Dennis Waits' immediate response just days later on May 5th was to file a motion to extend the criminal trial out by months. The judge formally signed and granted the restraining order on May 12th. When confronted as a third party holding funds that a family court judge has since officially awarded to me, his excuse was that he "had a lot of hours in" and that his client paid him for legal fees. I have a clear audio recording proving he admitted to taking these frozen funds. Filing a recycled bond motion only to drop it when a check arrives, and then delaying the trial right after a financial restraining order is filed, raises serious questions about his business practices and ethics. When you look into public records, this scramble for fast cash makes total sense. Dennis Waits has a documented history of public state tax liens, including thousands of dollars in unpaid withholding taxes for his own firm's employees. If a lawyer cannot even manage his own business taxes and owes the state, it is no wonder he would questionably pocket frozen family assets without a second thought. The public deserves absolute transparency regarding the business methods of Dennis Waits.

I found this attorney through a federal employee resource website that claimed to offer discounted…read moreservices for government workers. Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Pietz has been devastating. From the very beginning, he showed little effort or compassion in representing me. He refused to include critical personal evidence and firsthand experiences that could have supported my case. He was aware that the government was going through reductions in force, and now, during this shutdown, I've been left struggling to pay my balance. I explained clearly that without an approved budget, we lose overtime -- yet instead of understanding, I was met with threats when I couldn't pay immediately after court. I'm a single, hardworking mother with no living family, having just bought my first home nine months ago. I'm trying to refinance and take out an equity loan, so I can't even open a credit card right now. I recently went through an incredibly traumatic and unjust custody case, filled with false accusations and parental alienation. Despite being the stable parent, the court ruled against me, and I'm now ordered to pay child support for the child my ex kept from me -- something I simply cannot afford right now. On top of that, I've faced major unexpected expenses: an emergency root canal and crown, a broken window repair, and now car repairs -- all of which I've provided proof for. I even communicated my hardship to his assistant, who assured me that they understood. Yet when I reminded Mr. Pietz of that conversation, he denied it entirely. And now, despite everything, he's suing me -- during a government shutdown, when federal workers are struggling just to get by. So much for supporting the very people this firm claims to stand behind. I've never felt so dismissed or unsupported in my life. I cannot in good conscience recommend this law firm to anyone, especially to other federal employees who deserve real advocacy, not added hardship.

I hired Mr. Michael Dreiling to handle my quiet deed lawsuit. This was a very difficult decision…read morefor me but it was necessary and I'll tell you, hiring Michael was the best move I could have made. He is 100% professional and strictly business. No waisted time. He did exactly what needed to be done and answered every question I had. When we went to court the judge had everything needed to make ruling in my favor. I basically stood next to Michael and in 5 minutes it was over and complete. I don't expect to need an attorney any time soon again but now I have one just in case. Thank you this was the most stressful sad thing to happen in my life and I'm so glad I had the right person handle it. I was quoted much more by others so all the way around this was the best decision. Again, thank you Michael.

Arnett was OUTSTANDING, beginning to end! First off, upon initial consultation, they took the time to listen to my predicament, and were sympathetic to my situation and issues.

More than once, we hit a wall, and Arnett was quick to pivot to another strategy to help move my case forward! They were extremely communicative, easy to reach, and flexible to helping overcome my issue. The Arnett team exceeded my expectations with the outcome we were able to achieve in my case.

I contacted Jim via email because he's a member of my company legal plan. I have never used the…read morelegal plan before and I'm now second guessing the value of the program. I don't know how the attorney is compensated in these plans, but I have to assume it's not sufficient when comparing my experience to those reported in other reviews. I reached out to Jim about an issue my family is dealing with regarding a builder who has failed to fulfill contracted services. Jim replied to me two times, both were little more than single sentence emails, and both were condescending and flippant. After I explained what happened Jim suggested I get release documents from the builder for each of the builder's sub-contractors before working with him. Since the work has been underway for nearly a year, that is obviously not an option at this point, and Jim knew that. When I asked if I have any recourse other than going back in time, Jim simply ignored me. I don't appreciate being treated like an idiot, nor do I like being ignored. This is, of course, my own experience and perception. I don't normally generate negative reviews for businesses, but this engagement added insult to injury in my view.
