Don't understand the low stars for this firm…read more Cory Rein is an excellent attorney. He is handling a family member's case. He was referred to us with the recommendation that Cory does not overload himself with cases, he prefers to dig in and get to know his clients cases thoroughly, completely. I have to say that so far--that is exactly what is happening. Cory is incredible, and so is his gifted Paralegal Jill Jenkins (Hi Jill!). Jill is Very responsive. Both of them are very organized. In court, I have never seen an attorney more prepared. He had a binder with tabs to cover any single thing that opposing counsel mentioned, no fumbling or looking for things, no ahhs or umms. He is VERY prepared in court. It's obvious he is totally at home speaking in court, he's a very experienced and effective litigator. No BS, no wasted words, and Cory *completely* out-lawyered opposing counsel at every turn--so far. If you have a case unlikely to settle, Cory is the type of attorney you dream of finding. Thank God we were referred to him, and he agreed to take the case. Cory is our third and last attorney, we have an extremely high-conflict case, and he's managing it with ease, whereas the last one absolutely could not deal, even after being warned. Cory is unrattled, has no problem calling things out, being an aggressive advocate when warranted, firing off a letter in 15 minutes getting action(!), and gently pulling back when it's not in the case's best interest. Jill has a great sense of humor about it all, so refreshing. Jill also writes very powerful Declarations out of "word salad," so gifted. The best part about Cory is he literally takes the Reins (pun intended) and takes action, he plans for all outcomes, and he is not afraid to use the law and courts, none of this "lets not rattle the cage" bs. --Yes, please, I want to rattle the cage, I'm sick of being nice, I'm done *taking it* and I'm ready to dish it out.-- Cory is your man. He is several steps ahead, bringing forward strategies and motions while we are still processing what just happened--Cory is halfway to the next goalpost. He has really really great timing, and so far, has not missed a single trick. ;-) We have an ongoing case so I can't elaborate on specifics.

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.

I had an outstanding experience with this law firm and highly recommend them. What truly sets them…read moreapart is their exceptional communication and responsiveness. They almost always responded to my questions immediately, which is incredibly rare and gave me great confidence throughout the entire process. I also appreciated their honesty and integrity. They gave me a realistic assessment of the merits of my case instead of simply telling me what I wanted to hear or taking the case just for profit. Their advice was thoughtful, transparent, and always in my best interest. Despite taking on my case at very short notice, they handled everything professionally and did an excellent job. The entire team worked seamlessly together and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier. A special thank you to Ian, Tommy, Cynthia, and Mark. From the legal assistants to the paralegal and attorneys, everyone was knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and genuinely committed to helping. Their teamwork and dedication exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a law firm that is responsive, honest, and truly cares about its clients, I would not hesitate to recommend this team.

I found Bryn Peterson on Yelp about 2.5 years ago when my partner and I were dealing with some…read morestressful business legal issues, and I still remember our very first consultation call clearly. We were overwhelmed, anxious, dealing with a complete liar and juggling a lot at the time. Bryn took the time to truly listen, asked thoughtful questions, and immediately made us feel supported and understood. When we met in person, he was nothing but professional, kind, and--somehow--even managed to make us laugh during a very difficult situation. Throughout our time working with him, Bryn's emails were always detailed, clear, and extremely effective. He consistently shut down nonsense and misinformation from the other side with precision and confidence. Comparing the professionalism and substance of Bryn's work to what the opposing counsel produced made it crystal clear that we made the right decision trusting him with our legal needs! Bryn isn't just an excellent attorney--he's a genuinely good person. He's a family man, a great dad, and it shows in how deeply he cares about his clients. He treats you like a human being, not just a case. When our situation unfortunately escalated into a lawsuit, Bryn recommended an outstanding litigation firm, which ultimately helped us win. That recommendation alone speaks volumes about his integrity and experience. I cannot recommend Bryn highly enough for business legal matters. He is smart, ethical, responsive, and absolutely worth the time and money. His paralegal, Kelly, is also wonderful to work with--professional, helpful, and kind. Bryn truly has a great thing going, and I will always be incredibly grateful we found him.

I have found Ray to be not only pleasant to work with, but more genuine than other attorneys I have…read moreinterviewed before. I have retained over 4 attorneys in the past, and I feel that my opinion of Mr. Mutchler holds some credibility. I currently have 2 other attorneys on retainer right now. Raymond is not the type of attorney that makes you feel like he is "Nickle and Diming you". His method of billing for his services is reasonable. And within reason, he will be supportive and helpful with communication here and there and it won't be guaranteed to be on the invoice. But typical lawyer fees should be expected, his time is valuable. However, for example, a friend of mine currently has an attorney that if you email him and ask a question regarding a letter that was already paid for, my friend will get billed for that question. Literally one question regarding a document that he paid for could not be asked without receiving an additional invoice. Another example is one attorney I have had in the past was very poor with communication, but extremely competent in the court room. A very powerful attorney to have in your corner, but sometimes you have to send him more than one email with a question because he wouldn't always reply, ever, not just in a timely fashion. That is not Raymond, he is very attentive with communication. Another attorney I had would repeat themselves a lot while billing me for every second of the conversation. It was very annoying because when you are paying an attorney by the minute for a verbal conversation, the last thing you want is for the conversation to go around in circles. He would also forget that he had already told me about something and repeat it to me. That is not Raymond. While he may have a short pause to contemplate something you asked him, he is generally efficient with getting his advice to you without running out the timer. Raymond is also nice, I have had attorneys that are nice too, but try to rush you off the phone or have a tone in their voice like they don't like talking to you. Not Raymond. He gives off genuine vibes despite it being work for him, you feel like a friend is talking to you. Knowledge wise, Raymond has taken the time to review a lease and find faults with it that was inherited by the acquisition of a duplex and it was drafted by a prominent, successful property management group. He identified that the lease was following outdated laws and verbiage with a buy-out clause that was not as clear as it should ideally be. Raymond also gave me advice for a lease I needed for my rental property that at the end of the day, saved me money and avoided paying him a lot for it. That was something that he did which keeps me coming back to him for my investment properties. He is in it for the well being of his clients, not just the money. Raymond Mutchler is knowledgeable, personable and reasonable. And he follows the concept that has long term benefits from taking care of his clients, instead of some professionals that focus on the short term benefits of getting as much money as possible from a client but will likely cause them to not be a repeat customer. Unlike one attorney I interviewed that offered to charge me $1,300 to file a LLC application that takes 30 minutes. Just filing, not writing!

Pros: They got the job done…read more Cons: 1. They are very unorganized. They usually put you on hold between 5 - 10 minutes to look for your case; and they charge you for it. They even charge me when they are asking about my military background when that has nothing to do with the case; and charge me for it. 2. I understand current eviction cases volume are very high and takes time. However, we were passed on to 3 different lawyers in the firm within 6 months and have to constantly resend them information when everything is already annotated sequentially. 3. They DO NOT get back to you. They sometimes get back to your email if you send them a follow up email a week after. If you don't follow up with email, they will not even get back to you. Calls are a hit and miss. Sometimes they will answer you and sometimes they will tell you they'll call you later. They do not call you. You'll need to call them.
