Hello, I was a part…read moreof a class action lawsuit this firm took on. Due to what the issue was I was still having personally, financially and mental fall out due to the issues they were representing. The firm and its employees, especially Halle, never failed to keep me informed through out the actual very short time it was ongoing. If I emailed and/or called they got back to me within a very short time frame that I have never experienced before. They patiently explained any form of correspondence whenever I had concerns or did not understand. My concerns when everything was settled and numbers, who was receiving what, not to mention I had some legal issues I had to reimburse in California so Trustees were involved, were NEVER ignored or failed to be answered with concern and care. This is what makes this firm exceptional. Not because they won the case, I never thought they would not; it is because of their genuine concern for their clients. No one saw a global pandemic, or the riots that took place especially where there are located, ( I am again in California), no one saw that my job would entirely be eliminated yet through out it all, especially worrying about my finances they have continues to respond and help me in any way shape or form. Even now when quite honestly their obligation is now over, and I am trying to coordinate with the Trustee and my attorney here, they continue to verify anything they can to make my concerns be alleviated. I can not thank you all enough for the support and truly acts of kindness and diligence your firm took on to help those of us effected by this lawsuit. I knew from the very beginning I was in very capable and strong hand. Thank you all for helping me to start a fresh life with what you did for me

After receiving divorce papers by a process server I knew I needed an attorney to view them before…read moreI signed my life away. I literally went onto Google and entered in "Divorce Attorneys" with my area I lived in and Sheridan & Dulas came up 1st. I decided just to call and if I didn't like them then I'll find someone else. The receptionist set me up with Attorney Andrew Hunstad, I sat with him for my free 1 hour consultation and needless to say by the end I retained him. He is honest, truthful, knowdependable, always responds asap, and has made my divorce case the best experience I've ever had with an Attorney. With absolutely no thought I could get what was fair from the divorce, Andrew made sure I got what was fair and I'm extremely pleased and thankful. Hands down, Sheridan & Dulas is the #1 place to go to for your divorce case. If you're able to, ask for a consultation with Andrew Hunstad... you won't regret it!!

I've worked with a variety of different attorneys. I wish all of my experiences were as fantastic…read moreas being a client of lawyer Randall Ryder. I'm not one who makes a career out of writing reviews. But I wanted others struggling with consumer law issues to find a terrific ally and specialist in winning for them. It was after quite a bit of research and some phone calls before it became perfectly clear that this law firm was the best for me. The proof of this was a wildly successful outcome that was better than the best case scenario I had imagined. Emails? Very promptly replied to. Quality of advice and strategy? Second to none. Level of experience? This is his specialty and not some additional thing he tacks on his list of services. You can rest assured that you are dealing with an expert who understands all the intricacies and angles. As a huge benefit, I found him to be kind and empathetic. Stop the worrying and uncertainty. Get in touch with him, and notice how much better you feel having a strong and skilled partner looking out for you.

My husband has been an attorney since 1975. He has been an Assist. DA in Brooklyn, an SEC…read moreinvestigator for the NYC office, a senior litigator for one of the largest Wall Street firms and then general counsel at a regional securities firm years ago. So we are very careful where we seek legal advice and go professional contact/ referrals all the way . I am very very lucky to have this. We were introduced to Bill Michelson JUST as my husband was recovering from 5 major huge surgeries . My husband had been so ill that we had almost zero income the entire 13 months of his non stop major operations. Mn even gave us food stamps fuel assistance that year! Huge blessing to have received! ( thank God he is fine now). He also lost his mom and brother in the middle of all this and was on strictly monitored major pain killers for 9 of those months. So my husband was "not totally mentally cognizant " in monitoring detailed projects during this time ( 5 rounds of anesthesia " stay in your system a good 12 months" said his back fusion/ diskectomy surgeon. SO... We were a very vulnerable scared couple when we walked in. ( almost all our bills were up to date-- he told us to stop paying everyone that first meeting ) First, Bill was a total stranger to us. My husband has never met him before, and we paid him fairly honestly like all clients He put us IMMEDIATELY at ease and gave us MASSIVE relief when he said that first meeting ," don't worry.... Your terrible physical and economic situation totally understandable after all these surgeries places you in a good situation... I can definitely talk to all your creditors, explain your dire situation today... And there is a good chance we can not only get them to work with us favorably , but I am confident I can get them to cooperate with us And have them lower your debt as well ." I have these as notes from my meeting . You have NO idea the massive waves of relief that rushed through us after hearing those words . So we automatically trusted him 100 % on the spot primarily from the referral and from his wonderous words . Why wouldn't we ??!! I immediately started the 2 years of repairing painting the house then finally packing and moving in December 2015. I left all the legal " mumbo-jumbo" to my husband. 18 months later when our house would not sell and it became upside down/ short sale , Bill found us an excellent realtor of short sales and was our closing attorney as well! We met with him a few times but worked primarily via phone (note: every minute on the phone the attorney's $ meter is ticking) I believe we paid him $10,000+ approx ( I found all bill's letters in my husbands desk... Unopened. Bill would call him tell him what we owed, Jon would pay.) Late August September 2015 we met with Bill. He said," I did not work on your debt overall... I did not want to do anything negative to your credit that would adversely affect the sale of your house (accepted an offer late October 2015)." I just listened nodded had no idea in general what was going on-- I had been feverishly packing . ... But we met with him a GOOD year before putting the house on the market......why didn't you call our creditors asap? We were up to date on many, not all. He DID work on just one debt (Winter 2016) with one creditor (they had filed a formal law suit against us) and negotiated them down 1/4-1/3. We met this spring 2016 and I mentioned to him that we were thinking of meeting with Lutheran Family Svces for in-depth financial guidance. He IMMEDIATELY was agitated excited raised his voice ( 1st time ever ) and said, " don't do that! You don't need them you have me." To make a long story short: we DID go to Lutheran Family Svces on Park ave in Minneapolis and got OUTSTANDING advice!!! We also learned from them that Bill had DONE ZERO... that ALL our DEBT was now 100 % charged out!! Zero negotiations zero reduction of debt. Zero promises . We were in TOTAL shock...... This has put us in very grave circumstances. And Lutheran Family Svces could do nothing to help nor save us... Toooo late...... I did indeed call him about a week later, late at night. and left a message stating that Lutheran Family Services offers outstanding assistance-- exactly the kind of guidance I had been fiercely looking for five years.... that they were NO threat to his work for our amt of debt was too high. I did end by saying honestly that he should have guided us to them years ago, for they could have greatly helped us....AND I let him know I was VERY very angry. He IMMEDIATELY dropped us. Lutheran Family Services is the BEST place to start. Go call make an appointment WAY before you get behind in your bills. They are a non-profit organization that has helped Minnesota individuals and families for years and years... for free. We shall survive, but avoid offers of " loan consolidation"!!!

Emails were barely answered, and I was left in the dark most of the time. To make matters worse, I was charged $10,000 for just one court appearance--with no clear explanation or justification. It's incredibly disheartening to feel like you've invested so much money and hope, only to be met with silence and poor results. I genuinely wish there were more accountability when a case is lost, especially at this cost. I wouldn't recommend this firm to anyone--not even my worst enemy

Attorney Gunther admitted to allowing the statue of limitations to pass, and admitted his…read more"failings" of his representation of me. He also failed to provide me with any bills while claiming he was working on my case, and failed to contact me for over a year. Once I notified him that I knew he let the statute of limitation pass, he advised me to consult with an attorney regarding the potential malpractice claim I have against him, and informed his malpractice carrier Minnesota Lawyers Mutual (MLM) MLM, refused to discuss settlement of the claim and refused to provide me a decision in writing on the claim. Attorney Gunther as an insured of MLM is also considered an "owner" as MLM is a co-op, and attorneys get kick backs in the form of dividends, when MLM denies a claim no matter how valid, or defends it or settles it for less than it is worth. Before you sign any retainer agreement with any attorney, be sure to search for them on the mars.courts.state.mn.us website first, and look to see what malpractice carrier they have, and review an example policy. Be sure to also look to see if it is a "claims based" or "occurrence based" MLM is also claims based. For claims based policies, if the attorney fails to notify MLM of the claim, and/or intentionally conceals it and does notify MLM, MLM does not have to pay out the claim. Be sure to look for occurrence based insurance instead.
