Highly recommend! We…read moreworked with Chance Badertscher as our real estate attorney on a recent sale. He was: 1. Super competent. 2. Very responsive. 3. Easy to work with. 4. Always prepared. 5. Made everything EASY! I've worked on both sides of several real estate transactions with several different real estate attorneys over the years and can easily say Chance at Lavelle Law was one of the best I've worked with. I'd recommend him highly to anyone.

I tried to use them back around 2018. The attorney assigned my account was inexperienced, a very…read morepoor communicator, and she had a bit of an attitude. Although I got nothing out of our interaction, I did get a $4000ish bill. I did not pay it. I suggest you avoid this firm. I kind of agree with other reviews: They're overpriced for a small firm, and they're not particularly effective. I think they think that their mission is simply to bill and make money rather than helping folks resolve their problems.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mike Goldsmith. My personal injury case was just…read morewrapped up last week. Mr. Goldsmith made sure that I got everything out of the case as possible. He is always pleasant to talk to, and always seemed to actually care about me, unlike other lawyers I've dealt with in the past. Everything he asked how I was doing, I could tell it was sincere. When it came down to anything dealing with the case, he was always professional and was looking out for what was best for me. He stayed in constant contact with me throughout the entire process, he even followed up after to see how i was. I could go on, but here is what you need to know. He is professional, kind, caring, and will fight for you. You can definitely trust him to get you the best possible outcome for your situation.

While an event requiring an attorney is stressful enough, add to that the grueling task of picking…read morean attorney that actually cares more about their client than their bill rate is next to near impossible. Unfortunately, life is what it is, and I found myself in a dangerous situation with a neighbor whom I had to obtain an emergency order of protection against. I met with attorney after attorney to discuss my case and all but one seemed more focused on telling me/bragging how great they were, who they knew, and how my case was so simple and would be settled quickly. Thankfully, I knew better than to believe any of what I was being told and more importantly, discovered Michael Strauss. While he too believed my case was not exactly complicated, he recognized that the situation could change in a heartbeat and instead of making me promises he would never be able to keep just to sign me on as a client, he discussed best and worst case scenarios from the start so I could adjust my expectations. And as he predicted, my case grew more complicated and eventually put my own personal safety in jeopardy. Instead of focusing on billing me for every minute that he was working my case, he paused all of this to ensure I was safe. He took on aspects that an attorney would normally not and if they did, they would charge substantially more. Not only did Mr. Strauss not charge me anything extra, when there was a time that I had nothing left in me physically, mentally, and emotionally and decided to not pursue the legal matter any further, Mr. Strauss indicated that while that was my decision, he would not stop fighting on my behalf! What attorney continues to work a case even if the client has nothing left in them to fight???? When I could not fight anymore, Mr. Strauss stepped in and fought for me. I have never met an attorney or know of one that was so passionate about their clients and really made them the priority not the retainer or additional potential billing. He was a Godsend. He is the very type of attorney I believe the job was initially created for - someone who gets into law not for the fame nor money but to actually help those who have nowhere else to turn. I cannot recommend Michael Strauss enough. He was not only my attorney, but he also in a truly unforeseen way became my guardian angel. Because of him, his dedication, and ethics, I am now safe, and it did not financially drain me. While this world does not need more attorneys, they need attorneys like Michael Strauss.

You and Gary gave my child the life he truly deserves, bless both of you. Even though it's now been…read more15 years, words cannot express my gratitude. The child's mother to this day is caught up in endless court cases in another state with multiple parents, and never once did you hound me for money even when I owed it. I know you are selective about who you take on as clients, but you may have saved my child's life. Your work showed the courts the truth and protected him from drunk stepparents, and a neglectful mother. Know you have made a difference in someone's lives in ways you will never understand.

I came to this law firm at a very difficult time in my life. My Mom was diagnosed with dementia and…read moreI brought her here to gain power of attorney for my brothers and I. No one at the firm showed us the least bit of consideration or kindness. The length of time from our meeting to getting the paperwork was weeks and I was desperately trying to get my Moms affaires in order. When I asked for updates I got nothing. When they finally sent the paperwork they screwed up and had to get them redone. Months later, I had another legal matter come up and thought, well let me at least just get a couple questions answered. I emailed them to ask questions. I received a very curt response with spelling errors that made no sense. I wrote back repeatedly for clarification and was ignored. Never even bothered to correct the grammatical errors that made the response even more confusing. I would never come back here, nor recommend them to anyone.

I worked as an attorney for nearly 40 years and learned the importance of a solid estate plan and…read morethe need for skilled representation in the later stages of life. I worked in an area of law where I saw first hand the consequences of plans not made or poorly executed. To avoid such problems, my wife and I worked with Kathryn Casey, an attorney with an exceptional understanding of long-term care planning. We wanted two things from her: an estate plan that met our current needs and a relationship with a a firm that would be available in the future, in case our needs or circumstances changed. Kathryn designed an estate plan that specifically met our needs, as opposed to a boilerplate approach that might not make sense for our situation. Just as importantly, Kathryn and her associates work every day in the areas of elder law, guardianship, and probate, and their knowledge in these areas gives us confidence that they will be there if we need them some day. One always hopes for the best and easiest outcome, but it is comforting to know that Kathryn Casey and her firm are available if and when they are needed. She is easy to work with, tremendously skilled and thoughtful, and her office handled our case in a timely and professional manner, and at a fair price.

We needed to update our will and living trust due to some changes over the past several years, and…read morecontacted Margaret for her counsel. After the initial consult we realized our old documents were completely inadequate, and decided to revoke the old trust and have Margaret develop a new suite of documents to replace them (new living trust, power of attorney, will, etc). She walked through each document in detail so we fully understood what was contained in them. It was absolutely worth the time and effort, and we are now very satisfied and much more confident in the new legal documents. We also know we can rely on Margaret for future guidance. Note that she is not the cheapest lawyer out there, but keep in mind the old axiom "you get what you pay for".
