This was, hands down, the worst experience I've ever had with legal representation. I trusted Mary…read moreto handle my case, but there was almost no communication. 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

I had the privilege of working with Jolene Baker Vicchiollo and her team during one of the most…read morechallenging times in my life, and I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise, compassion, and dedication. From our very first consultation, Jolene demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of divorce law, coupled with a genuine care for my personal well-being while going through the dissolution of a 26 year marriage. She and her team navigated the legal process with skill and precision, ensuring that I was fully informed and empowered to make the best decisions for my future. Jolenes strategic approach and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case, from the months of painful negotiations to final settlements. Thanks to her unwavering commitment, I was able to achieve a very favorable outcome. Jolene or someone on her team, were always accessible, promptly returning calls and emails, and took the time to answer all my questions with patience and clarity. Assigning work to junior members of her team is a great way to control the end bill. It will definitely save you money. Their empathetic approach helped me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process, which made an incredibly difficult time much more manageable. I truly felt that Jolene was more than just my attorney; she was my ally who advocated fiercely for my best interests. If you are seeking a divorce attorney who is both highly skilled and deeply compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend Jolene Baker Vicchiollo.

These people do nothing but email, every email they send, as simple as they could be will still end up costing you $100. If you want to blindly trust a law firm that doesn't keep you informed or comfortable with the biggest battle of your life, or If you are male, stay away. This place is a total joke!

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"!!!
