    Great lawyer I highly recommend. She will work hard for your case and she will fight hard to protect your rights.

    If you're looking for a family lawyer who will actually show up prepared, advocate fiercely, and…read moremake you feel safe and supported throughout the entire process, Sarah is it. She ATE and left NO crumbs. From the moment I hired her, I felt a sense of relief. She was responsive, dependable, and incredibly thorough. What stood out the most to me was how seriously she took preparation. Sarah didn't just show up on the day of court and wing it like so many others I've dealt with in the past; she came ready, organized, and sharp. I didn't have to carry the emotional or strategic weight of the case on my own this time. She had my back at every turn and stepped in exactly when I needed someone to speak up for me. Her expertise and presence gave me a sense of calm in a situation that was anything but peaceful. I've had lawyers in the past who left me feeling disappointed and unheard, but hiring Sarah reminded me that good representation does exist; you just have to find the right person. And for me, that was her. While hiring her did require a financial stretch for me, it was absolutely worth every penny. I don't regret a single dollar spent because having someone like Sarah in my corner made all the difference. If I had the means, I'd continue working with her without hesitation. I genuinely wish I could keep her on for my follow-up with the judge, but unfortunately, that's not possible right now. Still, I'm incredibly grateful I had her in my corner when it mattered most. I've got two more years of court ahead, and while I hope I won't need to hire her again (because let's be real, no one wants to be stuck in family court forever), if I ever do, Sarah will be my first call. Thank you, Sarah, for everything. You reminded me what it feels like to be truly represented.

    Smart, friendly, affordable, and caring. Made going through the hardest part of my life a bit…read moreeasier. Will refer to her.

    Save yourself years of regret. Hiring Sam Smith and Kira Damusis was one of the most damaging…read moredecisions I've ever made during an already traumatic divorce. I trusted them with the safety of my child and the outcome of my custody case, and they failed me at every step. Sam Smith personally sold me on her "hands-on" approach, but after retaining the firm, she never touched my case again. Not once. Even after repeated requests for her attendance at hearings, only Kira showed up, despite Sam being the one whose services I was promised and paid for. Their handling of evidence was unforgivable. I provided multiple notarized affidavits, photos, recordings, and documentation of my ex-husband's substance abuse disorder, none of which were submitted to the court. As a direct result of this negligence, I now share 50/50 custody with a parent who poses safety concerns to our child. This outcome could have been prevented had they done the most basic part of their job. They also submitted my divorce documents late, which unnecessarily extended my case by four months. At no point did they take responsibility for this delay. The professional conduct was just as disturbing. During a charged and vulnerable phone meeting, Kira yelled at me and victim‑blamed me, saying: "Well, you shouldn't have married a drug addict." That was her legal "guidance" as I was trying to advocate for my child's safety. They provided me with an incorrect holiday schedule, which caused an incident where my ex‑husband abused his time. Because their schedule didn't match the court order, enforcement was impossible. This is basic family‑law competence, and they failed it. I later learned, through other attorneys and court personnel, about several crucial protections that could have been included in my custody agreement: stipulations for communication, consequences for violations, safety conditions, and specific parental responsibilities. None of these were ever offered, suggested, or even discussed. They simply did the bare minimum. I never met either attorney in person. Communication was inconsistent, sometimes disappearing for long periods, and Kira even called me during vacations with abrupt and unpleasant demands. At one hearing, she provoked the judge and made the situation worse. I drafted the distribution‑of‑assets outline myself, and they inserted it verbatim into the judgment with no advisement, no professional guidance, and no required financial stipulations (timelines, interest, consequences for nonpayment). Again, I did the work; they collected the fee. These lawyers failed to protect me, failed to protect my child, and failed to uphold even the minimum standards of competent legal representation. I regret ever hiring them, and I strongly urge anyone considering them to look elsewhere.

    We have had this amazing group for about 4 years now. They are truly amazing. Their staff knows…read morewhat it takes to win a case. They care so much about every client they have. From the moment we called we knew they were the ones. The wgike staff has held our hands and guided us thru the whole custody battle. Love this law firm. Its so refreshing to have someone honest and hardworking on our side.

    he likes to cut corners. he makes promises but is unable to deliver due to his lack of diligence…read more everything is done via arbitration instead of his ability to negotiate. hired him years ago and I still regret it. I would not send a single client to him. he is a nice Neman but a less than adequate lawyer.

    "John Foley is the worst arbitrator in the State of Michigan"--actual quote from an attorney who…read morehas had to deal with cleaning up the disastrous divorces he "arbitrates." John's intent was to just bill me as much as possible, while giving me nothing even approaching a fair hearing, and then giving everything to his buddy's client (my Ex). John was friends with my Ex's attorney, so he manipulated the entire process to drag it on forever, not let me cross examine witnesses, have testimony on separate days and times so they could say whatever they wanted, hide who testified until six weeks later, squeeze me for every penny I had, and then award everything to my Ex. He also dragged everything on for three times longer than needed. All the while setting me up, "losing" important evidence, and in general pretending to do a fair job while just setting me up. All this in a "No-Fault" state, where everything is normally equally divided. DO NOT ever sign up for binding arbitration with him--he will screw you over! I am looking for people who have used the services of John Foley from Dearborn as an arbitrator or mediator and have experienced what I did--blatant injustice. I know others have had the same experience with him, so I am collecting names and stories to file a complaint against him with the Michigan Bar Association, and get him disbarred. Just leave a comment and I will contact you.
