Let me say, before the plot thickens, that Lucy was on the OPPOSING side. Since lawyers are…read moreinclined to, well, jump on things like libel, I can only state Court-reported facts. Lucy filed a motion to prevent me from taking my daughter out of state, during Covid. Motion was GRANTED, however Judge deemed her client, my daughter's biological mother, was under the SAME restriction. Imagine the horror of equity! Lucy didn't care for this so she filed another motion, "Objects of the parties taking the child more than 100 miles from Menomonie. There is no basis in law or fact for this restrictive measure." She won her motion and then filed a motion letting the Judge know his ruling had no basis "in law or fact." Ready for another? Here we go. Our MSA (divorce decree) states, "...costs shall be shared equally...which include...child care costs." Lucy's client does not wish to share such costs, so Lucy filed a motion objecting, "The Petitioner has the ability to arrange her work schedule so that childcare is not required nor needed." Hey cool, the MSA is iron-clad unless your part-time job allows you to work any hours. Seems a solid legal argument. As an aside, she does bankruptcy law. Under oath, I had to explain to her the difference between a paystub and a paycheck. Also, I had to explain, under oath, why disability is not taxable. Should also mention that the Judge reminded Lucy that she was not at her "first rodeo." Have fun!

He appeared in Court numerous times, on behalf of my daughter. Please keep in mind, I am referring to my daughter, because the only reason I needed representation was because I have a minor daughter. 09-16-2020, nearly a year later, I get an email,"Lucy Bjork has filed a motion with an affidavit and an e-mail from apparently one of the co-owners of your son's daycare." A son, you say? Well I was unaware of such offspring, but would be welcoming. If you want someone to take interest in your case, may I suggest a few others: 1. Anyone else 2. Everyone else 3. Adopt a pet from a local shelter, as they have an innate sense of discernment with respect to sex / gender.

Attorney Heather Pauls, and her legal assistant Sarah, are the dream team for when you need to join…read morethat club you never wanted to be a part of. I rarely write reviews, but this dynamic duo deserve all the praise I can give! Their professionalism, knowledge, support and sense of calm during the most stressful time in my life was everything I needed to help guide me through. Whenever I had a question (constantly) or was confused (regularly) they both took the time to carefully explain every step of the process and clearly lay out the plan. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed with them by my side. As an added bonus, they both have wicked and witty and hilarious responses for those times when you feel like there is nothing to do but cry. They empathize with the pain you are in and they work hard to help you get to a better place. You are not "just a client" to them. From my initial consultation, to gathering the copious required documents, to receiving the final decree, to being taken back to court for a child support issue, Heather was kind and personable, and communicated with me promptly so that I always felt like I had options and support. The entire process was reminiscent of the Never Ending Story, but kudos to them, they never once blocked or ghosted me! Heather exceeded my expectations in every way. She is brilliant and thoughtful and tenacious when necessary, and she went way beyond what I could have hoped for in a lawyer. She looked out for me and gave excellent advice. I trusted her implicitly every step of the way. She became a friend and she is the one great thing to come out of all of this craziness. Well, Sarah makes it two great things! 10/10 do not recommend a divorce ..... BUT, if you must, 10/10 recommend Heather & Sarah to be your sidekicks!

Terry and Steve were actually the 3rd lawyers I had hired, due to this process taking so long. I felt they treated me more like family, not just a client or a dollar sign. My divorce was quite contentious, to say the least, and thanks to them, we were finally able to come to a settlement, where I felt my interests had been their most important factor. They kept in constant communication with me and went above and beyond to ensure that I was given the best representation possible. They were available to me whenever I needed them, and they returned any messages promptly. My divorce was quite contentious (to say the least), and Terry and Steve worked constantly to make sure my best interest was presented to the court. They were very professional and did a great job at lining up expert witnesses, prepping me for trial, if it had gone that far, yet also worked very hard to help the case settle so I was not hit with the exuberant costs that a trial would have caused me. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case and would recommend Alliance Law Firm to anyone looking for lawyers that are honest, communicative, and will get you the best outcome possible.

Especially when that was how they were going to get paid. I know if I did a crappy job at work I wouldn't be there too much longer, when you are a lawyer of course it isn't their fault. You ask for a bull and get a kitten, that wants the bulls food. If you are disabled forget it. Not 1 person understood, asked questions or attempted to listen to what I needed to be able to qualify for treatments and care that I was getting before the hearing. I get that things do not always go as planned or in your favor. However this firm was not fighting for me. I had asked several times for an offer or to get the information that i needed to make one to my ex. They never even tried they just wanted to rack up the billable hrs. They don't care about the asset level, maintenance amount and if you will still be able to receive help no matter how many times you have told them. Hopefully my case will open their ears a little better so they can understand what their clients actually need. Plus i was emailed someone elses court documents. Off to write a grievance letter to the state on this one. Definitely not a recommendation.
