John Groseclose is a rare kind of attorney -- deeply ethical, sharply strategic, and relentlessly…read morededicated to doing what's right. I've been represented by John in a long, high-conflict custody battle, and I can say without hesitation that having him as my attorney changed the entire course of my case -- and my daughter's life. From the beginning, John demonstrated unmatched patience and professionalism. My case involved repeated violations of the parenting plan, medical neglect, travel disputes, safety concerns, and emotionally draining communication patterns from the other parent. Through all of it, John remained clear-headed, responsive, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to understand the full picture -- reading through timelines, messages, medical records, and incident reports -- and he never made me feel like I was alone. What sets John apart is how grounded and strategic he is in court. Despite aggressive tactics and misinformation from the opposing side, he stayed focused on the facts and the law. He doesn't play games -- he builds a case methodically and ethically, and the judge saw that. He never made false promises, and he didn't have to: his work speaks for itself. When it came time to challenge a GAL report full of inaccuracies and bias, John didn't back down. He brought in expert witnesses, therapist input, and hard evidence that ultimately led the judge to reject the GAL's recommendations and rule in favor of protecting my child's best interests. That alone speaks volumes. Throughout this process, I've leaned on John not only as an attorney but as a guide through some of the most overwhelming moments of my life. He treated my case like it mattered, and it did -- because it was about my daughter. He always remembered that. If you're looking for someone who's experienced, no-nonsense, child-focused, and genuinely invested in doing what's right -- John Groseclose is that attorney. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Expensive, Slow, and the Agreement Already Fell Apart…read more I used Truce Law in 2023/24 for my divorce, involving both children and financial assets to divide. I worked directly with Justin. He is convincing, knowledgeable, and genuinely makes you feel like the collaborative approach will protect your kids and your interests. That pitch is what sold me. I wish the execution had matched it. The process involves paying for an entire team Justin recommends: a mediator, a Divorce Financial Analyst, and attorneys for both parties (including Justin himself). At the hourly rates involved, you expect competence. What I got was not meeting the expectation, at least from the Divorce Financial Analyst. The work product was so poor and unclear that I ended up rebuilding the asset division calculations myself from scratch, with full transparency and no ambiguity. That is work the analyst failed to do, repeatedly. Justin also dropped the ball on communication and follow-up. The agreement was not finalized on time. I had to push things forward myself over the Christmas break. His explanation was essentially that he was stretched thin across other cases. We eventually failed to have an agreement signed before the end of the year. The biggest promise of the collaborative approach is that a well-crafted agreement prevents future legal conflict. That promise has not held up. My agreement is ambiguous in key areas, and I am now dealing with exactly the kind of disputes they told me this process would prevent. Any vagueness in the document has become a point of contention. Long process, high cost, mediocre team, and an agreement that is already causing problems. I would not recommend this firm, do your homework.

My experience with this firm was deeply disappointing and harmful, both financially and…read moreemotionally. My spouse and I hired Truce with the clear goal of finding solutions to maintain stability for our daughter by keeping the family home. From the start, we expressed openness to a variety of options -- refinancing, payment plans, creative asset divisions -- but none of these were ever explored. Instead, when my initial retirement offer was declined, the mediator simply asked what I was going to do. When I responded that all I had was the house, her reply was, "Okay, you're selling. What month?" That was the entirety of the guidance. We were promised expertise and fair scenarios for how to keep the home, yet no such solutions were ever provided. During our initial consultation, we were told that the mediator would review our financials and help identify the best financial options available to us. I specifically understood this to mean I would not need to hire an outside financial advisor -- that this expertise was included in what we were paying for. This never happened. That promise turned out to be empty, and the experience felt very much like a bait and switch. The mediation process itself was mishandled. Separate breakout rooms were used unnecessarily, which undermined communication and strained what had been an amicable relationship with my spouse. Instead of fostering cooperation, the process left us feeling railroaded into rushed decisions we didn't want, without the transparency or support that we were promised during the consultation. The billing practices were just as troubling. Before we even met, $1,500 was billed for scheduling correspondence. I was then charged for messages and drafts that were never sent, for Zoom links resent multiple times, and even for the firm's own need to reschedule. Screenshots confirm that I was billed for correspondence that never occurred. More alarming, I was charged for work labeled as "housing options" and "primary residence scenarios" -- the very solutions we hired the firm to provide -- but these drafts were never created or shared. Despite acknowledging these billing errors and promising corrections, the invoices remained inconsistent and nontransparent. Even the basics were sloppy: my name was repeatedly recorded incorrectly in official documents. The firm's own leadership later admitted that we were also overcharged on hourly rates: $575 for legal work instead of the contracted $500, $265 for paralegal time instead of $220, and $175 for legal assistant time instead of $120. They promised to adjust all bills, apply discounts, and review their processes to prevent such mistakes in the future. While this confirmed what I had already raised, it only fixed their accounting errors -- it did nothing to address the fact that the core services promised were never delivered. To make matters worse, after raising all of these concerns in writing, I never once received a direct response from the lead attorney. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the time of this review, I am still waiting for a corrected refund and an accurate invoice. Ultimately, we spent thousands of dollars and walked away with no solutions, more conflict than before, and the need to start over with another mediator at additional cost and delay. This has added a ridiculous amount of stress and wasted time during an already arduous divorce, which is the last thing any family in crisis needs. Families going through divorce are in an incredibly vulnerable position. They deserve compassion, expertise, and transparency. What we experienced instead was pressure, disorganization, unfulfilled promises, unresolved billing problems, and practices that felt exploitative. I regret ever hiring this firm, and I cannot recommend their services to anyone.

I decided to give her a call and we set up an appointment, lucky for me that she happened to be in the office because she is usually in court representing her clients. I just read some reviews and I'm not sure why the one negative review because she treated me well. Chi is good at what she does and that is she represented me as a client in court, I didn't even have to be there. While speaking with her on the phone, I decided to retain her as an attorney on my case as she sounded professional and knowledgeable. I brought everything that she asked, looked them over and she told me everything up front---the costs and what to expect of the outcome. She is prompt and courteous and she did everything that she said that she would do. She always replied to my phone calls and text---depending on which we had agreed to and set up. She would let me know ahead of time if there were changes or anything else that would be involved. With Chi, everything was up front. She got my ticket dismissed and also refunded me like 90% of the fees that were refundable ( I think that it had something to do with administrative cost. I feel that Chi is an excellent attorney and with her you will know what to expect and what to expect of her. She is honest and did me a great service.

I first went to Chi because she was referred to by a friend. However, my experience with her was…read morenot great at all. I contacted her around September to handle my case, and from time to time I asked her for updates in which she gave me very basic information. One day the DOL sends me a notice that my drivers license has been suspended because of failure to notice the court of my options. Mind you, this is something that is completely done by the lawyer. I message Chi, and she started to blame the court about how ridiculous they were, but in reality she should've kept status on my case. It's clear Chi treats each case as a $$ bag and doesn't care to check up on the status of her clients cases. As a result, this lead my insurance going up because Chi was unable to keep up with my case. Why would I go to a lawyer just to have my insurance go up....... and having to deal with that.??? Although she helped me with my ticket It's clear she doesn't value her customers and her replies are just straight up unprofessional at times.

For those who lean toward the former approach, Adrienne Keith is a fantastic resource, not only as a lawyer but as a calm, steady person. She works in Collaborative Law as well as mediation, and is active not only in volunteering but also in writing an insightful, funny, sensitive blog about divorce and family law-related topics (http://splitsvillenews.com/). While I didn't technically utilize Collaborative Law (she provides legal divorce services other than just that process), Adrienne was so helpful in carefully walking me through each step of the process, always calm, professional yet warm, and perfectly prepared. I truly appreciated her attitude of non-combativeness and of working to find mutual solutions to sticky issues. Should you find yourself or know someone who's in the situation of needing representation through a divorce or family law issue, do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. Plus, on the way out of the courthouse she handed me a really thick envelope....When I got home, I opened it. A lovely bar, of bittersweet chocolate.

Beverly did not once reply to an email, her assistants, Ann and Kiss'Shonna seemed to play hot potato with my case, had little knowledge concerning a divorce that involved children and a business, they do not prioritize customer satisfaction or peace of mind. My experience with this firm has left me feeling taken advantage of, ashamed as a father, and failed husband, and now due to the poor level of representation I chose, will end up seeing my son even less and paying off debt for years to come. The billing department does not reply to emails either. Dont bother trying to call anyone once you are a client, as that is near impossible to get ahold of someone without 10 minutes of hold music, and then a message saying to leave your name and someone will get back to you, if not call back in 10 minutes, over and over. Be careful you who trust in helping you with your case, do several consults with different firms/lawyers before you make a choice.
