Then after you sign that check his tune changes real quick. I totally understand they can not guarante the outcome of any case. And I also understand they cannot predict the future. But what nick did to us was down right DIRTY! Nick told us that our case had a potential to take to trial and possibly beat it. So looking at years we decided to get a loan and hire him. He told us at that time that he had vast experience with these types of cases and would love the opportunity to try to fight it in court. As soon as we gave him the check even his attitude toward us changed. He suddenly seemed annoyed and bothered by us. One time my fiancée called him from the jail and he literally hung up on him! I went to his office and asked him to go to the jail to have my fiancée sign a POA for me! He said no I'm not going there it's a huge hassle! When the time came for our trial. He literally told us "I did some research and these cases are brutal in court I really think you should take the plea" what!!!!!!! You literally told us you had experience with these cases and we had a fighting chance! Now your saying you all the sudden did some more research and we're shit out of Luck?!?!?!?!?!? Basically bottoms line is he is buddy's with the Prosecuting Attorney and over lunch they decide together what kind of plea they want to offer his client. so they are in cahoots together! Not helping his client one bit! karama will bite him in the rear one of these days!

I hired Mr Birdwhistell in May of 2011 to do a simple divorce proceeding. Pretty easy as I left and…read moredid not want any material possessions except my car. The divorce was filed with the court on 5-20-2011. Birdwhistell day on my divorce for almost 2 years. My divorce wasn't finalized until 1-16-2013. There is no reason that my case should have taken that long. Everyone I know that divorced had their divorce completed and finished within 3 months. The only reason I think that Mr Birdwhistell placed my divorce on the back burner is because it was a cheap divorce. His cousin referred me to him and he gave me a "discount" of $700 for the divorce. So I truly believe if you are going to pay big bucks to Mr Birdwhistell - he will get you finished right away. Money talks. You get what you pay for. He is supposed to be the best divorce lawyer in town, but only if you can pay for it. Otherwise, he will sit and sit and not help you a bit. I had to text him finally in January of 2013 "I just want to be divorced- what is going on?!" So it took 20 months for my marriage to be dissolved. I would recommend anyone but this greedy bastard.

Cassie failed me as a divorce attorney in ways that went far beyond personality or "style." She…read moreaccepted my ex-husband's victim narrative wholesale, did not challenge it, did not ask me to clarify, and then piled on to one part of that narrative while the mediator did the same. I paid dearly for that failure. She is abrasive and unsympathetic to an extreme degree, but worse than that, she does not advocate. Divorce law is not about detached "fairness"- it is about hearing your client, testing the other side's narrative, and protecting the person you represent. She did none of those things. I was not kept adequately informed about the financial consequences I was facing. While she claimed she couldn't give an exact number, she absolutely could have warned me that I was going to be forced to hand over more than $30,500 to a deadbeat ex-husband. That kind of omission is not neutral, it is irresponsible. If you are someone who expects your lawyer to actually be on your side, think very carefully. Based on my experience and the consistent pattern reflected in other reviews, Cassie lacks the temperament required for divorce and custody law. If she wants to practice law impartially, she should return to criminal work. People going through divorce are vulnerable, and she is not fit for that role.

From the very first meeting, I knew he was the attorney I needed. Jeremy was sincere, truly listened to me, and was very BOLD -- which is exactly what my case required. My case has been going on for two years, and throughout that entire time Jeremy has remained steady, strategic, and strong. He handled my divorce with professionalism and confidence, helped me settle property matters, and was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. During one of the most difficult times in my life, he acted quickly to put an EPO in place when protection was needed, and ultimately helped secure a DVO to protect my children and me. That gave me peace of mind that I cannot put into words. I also have to recognize Kristen W., who plays a huge role behind the scenes. She keeps everything running smoothly -- answering calls when Jeremy is in court, organizing paperwork, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. More importantly, she was there for me emotionally. She understood my fears and worries about my kids and was always supportive, patient, and reassuring when I needed it most. After two long years, I can truly say I'm grateful for how my case was handled and for the protection and stability they helped secure for my children and me. They was worth every penny! Jeremy and Kristen make an incredible team. I highly recommend Jeremy and his office to anyone who needs a strong, compassionate, and dedicated attorney.
