From my first interaction with Kristin I could tell she cared about my estate planning as much as I…read moredid. She helped me feel prepared to come in for my consultation and that was a big deal for me. She also took time to be clear on my goals before advising me on my best plan and what it would cover.

Be warned. This office is incredibly unprofessional, inept and rude. They represented my ex (and…read moreeven he regrets hiring them!). My attorney repeatedly remarked that their handling was absolutely unacceptable and disappointing. A short list of issues (from a very long list!) includes continuously responding late to my lawyer, lying on the paperwork that they drafted so my lawyer would have to spend more time (and more of my money) to get them to correct items like my birthdate, income, etc. They dragged things out so much, which I assume is a tactic used to milk their clients for additional hours. Our divorce took almost a year longer than it should have! At one point I had to go their office to retrieve paperwork that they were legally required to submit by a timeline- when I arrived they only printed a fraction of what we were supposed to. Again and again this is how they mismanaged our case. And now, a year after the divorce has been final and they still haven't submitted the paperwork properly to the courts for the dispersion of the pensions (QRDO's). After leaving multiple messages, I finally received a call back from the office who then preceded to connect me to him for a meeting over the phone... he got on the line and literally screamed at me and hung up! So incredibly rude. It is because of his offices mistakes that they continue to cause these issues. I didn't request a phone call meeting with him- all I want to know is where is our QDRO in process!? 2 of the 3 QDRO's are completed and filed in the courts. The 3rd one is just floating in their dysfunctional and disgraceful office. The entire system of divorce attorneys is a complete and utter sham, taking advantage of people who are already struggling thru one of the most difficult periods of their life. This office is inept at representing their own clients, and lacks any sense of decorum. Please save yourself the time, energy and money and find another lawyer that may still rob you, but maybe at least they'll treat you and your soon to be ex-spouse with bit of respect or common decency. Regardless of us filing for divorce- we were married for 30 years and have 3 children together. The least a respectable attorney could do is treat all parties respectfully. Absolutely disgraceful.

I was the opposing party in a divorce and custody case handled by Kenneth Burger of Aldrich Legal…read moreServices. My criticism is not that Mr. Burger represented his client aggressively. It is that, in my case, he made factual representations that I believe were plainly inaccurate and presented disputed allegations as though they were established facts. The result was an unnecessarily hostile and destructive litigation process. This was not harmless courtroom posturing. The conflict generated during that case did not disappear when the judgment was entered. Months after the divorce became final, the same adversarial dynamic continues to affect parenting-time communications and the ability of two parents to establish a functional post-divorce relationship. Family-law attorneys have enormous power to either contain conflict or intensify it. In my experience, Mr. Burger intensified it. The human consequences have lasted far beyond the litigation itself. I would urge anyone considering this firm for a divorce involving children to think very carefully about that distinction. "Zealous representation" does not require turning every disagreement into warfare, and it certainly does not excuse factual misrepresentation.

I am writing to express my profound gratitude and utmost respect for Nick Roumel of Roumel Law, a…read morehighly seasoned trial attorney whose expertise, compassion, and dedication are truly unparalleled. Nick was referred to me by Don Molosky, our family attorney from Harbor Springs/Petoskey, Michigan, who has served us faithfully for two decades as we have dealt with workplace bullies in the past. For the past five years, Nick has steadfastly stood by my side through some of the most challenging and painful periods of my life, navigating the complexities of a legal battle against a formidable healthcare system over discrimination and tortious interference with a business relationship. From the very beginning, Nick Roumel believed in me and my case. His approach was not only professional and strategic but also deeply personal. He took the time to understand the intricacies of my situation, ensuring that every action taken was in my best interest. His knowledge of employment law, the Federal Fair Claims Act, and retaliation is extensive, and his ability to apply it effectively in the face of daunting challenges and layers of complexities is nothing short of remarkable. Throughout this prolonged legal journey, Nick's support was unwavering. He provided not just legal representation but also a source of strength and hope. His communication was always clear and timely, keeping me informed and at ease amidst the legal complexities. His negotiation skills are exceptional; he seeks win-win solutions and resolutions out of court. The outcome not only represents a significant personal victory but also stands as a testament to his skill and perseverance. Nick Roumel's passion for justice and commitment to his clients is evident in everything he does. He goes above and beyond to ensure that the voices of the marginalized are heard and respected. It's rare to find someone who combines such professional acumen with genuine care and empathy. So much so that I named my service dog, whom I purchased for hospice/hospital care, after him--"Nikko." I cannot recommend Roumel Law highly enough to anyone facing employment-related legal issues. His guidance and advocacy have made a profound difference in my life, and I am forever grateful for his support and belief in me. Nick is not just an exceptional attorney but a true ally in the fight for justice and fairness in the workplace. He has offices in Ann Arbor, Traverse City, and Marquette, Michigan, making it very convenient to work with the person I deem the very best attorney in employment law, retaliation, and discrimination legal cases.
