I absolutely recommend Terry Zawacki and Steve Groschen of Alliance Law Firm, located in Rochester,…read moreMN, 5 stars, and would give higher if that were an option. Terry and Steve were actually the 3rd lawyers I had hired, due to this process taking so long. I felt they treated me more like family, not just a client or a dollar sign. My divorce was quite contentious, to say the least, and thanks to them, we were finally able to come to a settlement, where I felt my interests had been their most important factor. They kept in constant communication with me and went above and beyond to ensure that I was given the best representation possible. They were available to me whenever I needed them, and they returned any messages promptly. My divorce was quite contentious (to say the least), and Terry and Steve worked constantly to make sure my best interest was presented to the court. They were very professional and did a great job at lining up expert witnesses, prepping me for trial, if it had gone that far, yet also worked very hard to help the case settle so I was not hit with the exuberant costs that a trial would have caused me. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case and would recommend Alliance Law Firm to anyone looking for lawyers that are honest, communicative, and will get you the best outcome possible.

Jill was utterly unprofessional. Consistently failed to respond to emails and other messages,…read moreeven those clearly labeled "urgent" with a stated deadline. Rude beyond belief; answered reasonable lay-person's questions with sarcasm and derision. If I did not understand what she meant and asked a follow-up question she would repeat the same answer but louder, sometimes yelling at me. When I complained about her non-performance on the urgent matter, she withdrew from my case a month before a crtitical mediation, requiring me to scramble to find a new attorney at the last minute. She labeled my entirely reasonable compaints to her and her staff, during which I neither raised my voice nor used foul language, verbal abuse. Her excuse for her non-performance: she was on vacation. Funny that none of her staff saw fit to mention this in reply to my multiple inquiries over her days of non-response.
