Sure, in hineysight a few things I would have not conceded to the b****rd ex, but aren't we all 20/20 after the fact? All in all, the price was very reasonable when others were charging by the hour yadayada. Keep in mind, none of these legal matters are easy to go through; I'm glad that was 12 years ago now:-) Hi, Jason.

Jason and Katie made an incredible team. From day one, they were realistic with me about…read moreexpectations and outcomes. They didn't sugarcoat anything, which I appreciated. They kept me grounded and prepared while building a strong strategy. They were organized and responsive, and I always felt prepared and supported. Jason knows exactly what he's doing in the courtroom. He's extremely sharp, quick on his feet, and handles situations in real time when they come up. His ability to think fast and stay composed makes a huge difference. The expectations they set were realistic, but in the end they exceeded them in a big way. I walked away with meaningful rights and real involvement in my child's life. He's worth every penny. If you're a father who simply wants to do right by your child and make sure your voice is heard, Jason and Katie will stand with you and guide you through it the right way. My advice: listen and let him work. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Katy is easily the best lawyer I've ever worked with. She's responsive, direct, honest, has respect…read morefor your time, and empathy for your situation. It's pretty uncommon to find an attorney with a couple of those traits let alone all of them. She went above and beyond in my case, taking over in a situation where opposing counsel from a local firm was unresponsive for days or a week at a time. Although I've worked with several attorneys, this was the first time I paid a retainer. I was conscious of the price, but Katy was very generous with her billings. Ironically, the opposing party paid a smaller retainer, but was billed well past that initial retainer, and as a result of the delays and added costs got a less favorable outcome. If you hire Katy, you'll get the best possible outcome whatever your situation is.

I retained Farah Ahmed from Patricia Brown & Associates and had a very disappointing experience…read more She would initiate unnecessary work and bill for it without keeping me informed about what was actually happening in my case. Communication was extremely poor -- responses would come at the end of the day, if at all. In one instance, opposing counsel scheduled a hearing and I was not informed until days later. That is simply unacceptable. The billing was filled with charges for "reviewing the case" and "communicating with opposing counsel," yet nothing meaningful was accomplished. It felt like the case was going nowhere despite the money spent. I would not recommend this firm to anyone seeking responsive, transparent, and effective legal representation.

He's knowledgeable about each of the courts where tickets get filed. That expertise works in your favor. It may cost some money to hire an attorney, but you'll almost always get a better "deal" from the court when you hire counsel. More importantly, hiring an attorney to appear on your behalf means you're less likely to have to make additional court appearances on your own. The smart thing to do is hire these folks, let them do what attorneys do, and let them worry about your case so you don't have to.

Josh not only proactively provided exceptional legal advice during the most stressful time in my…read morelife, but he also made himself readily available for my persistent calls and emails throughout the entire process. I'll admit, I was a very needy and demanding client. My son is the most important person in my life, and Josh fought for him like he was family. I wouldn't wish what I went through on any mother, but if you're in the trenches and don't know how to move forward, call Josh and trust your gut. He was consistently realistic, always upfront about the hard truths of the process and the legal system. He didn't always tell me what I wanted to hear, but he told me what I needed to hear. Josh is a highly respected lawyer in the area and will fight for your case without needless aggression. My son's future was forever shaped by Mr. Culp, and I will be eternally grateful.

She only repeated the answers the admin already gave me before I scheduled consultation. Her demeanor over the phone seemed like I was bothering her and she couldn't offer any more information unless I knew the questions to ask. It was one question, one answer interaction. And the retainer fee is ridiculous. No budging! If I had that much money for a retainer, why would I be pursuing spousal and child support? Needless to say, it seems like she'll only serve those with deep pockets! She's definitely not a "for the people" lawyer.

My brother researched on my behalf and came across a profile for Fergus & Tomanka. We met with Martin Fergus in July 2022. Martin has worked with me on an usually complex child custody case; he is forthright, highly ethical and offers a realistic outlook based upon case evidence and historical tendencies of the court. He does not "sell you" on any particular outcome and allows the space for someone to come to their own decisions regarding proceedings. Martin wrote up a meticulously detailed, custom possession order that took into consideration numerous, subtle protections that I would never have thought to ask for. He is extremely responsive and returns emails and calls in a timely manner. There were areas of subspecialty that emerged in my case at later dates, and Martin took the time to research legal acts relevant to changes that fall outside the scope of family law. He is steadfast in his professionalism and respectful toward all. He always gives more than he is asked. I could not be more grateful for a lawyer and recommend the practice of Fergus & Tomanka without reservation.

In all honesty I think she's a nice person to conversation with. On a professional level on how she represented me. Best way to put it she should have been at the same table in court with my ex and her lawyer. She did more good for her then me. I fully take responsibility for my actions before my wife left me. Didn't cheat didn't harm my kids but made some mistakes. But mistakes that only harmed me were used against me to take me away from my kids. I hired Rachel to represent me. Fight for me and in my opinion she did neither. When I had no income because I was still going through disability as a disabled vet and was living with my folks cause I was unable to take care of my self financially. She did no research to see what I should be paying if anything. Instead she worked out that I should pay over $300 a month to my ex when I had $0 income. How is that right. On top of that she picked a guardian ad litem to represent my kids. That woman lied to me every time she could and everything Rachel said she had worked out with her when we got to court she said the exact opposite. Out of a 13 year together 15 years on paper Rachel got me my clothes. And less time with my kids then if I would have just excepted the terms my ex wanted me to agree to before I hired a lawyer. And she cost me roughly $10,000 that I had to borrow from my parents. And she got me exactly nothing. Didn't split assets didn't split debts. My ex was able to keep everything even my xmas ornaments from my childhood. All my paintings. Everything that was mine before the marriage and during. No she's a good person but she does law based on biased towards woman laws and has no concept how to fight for men during the divorce. I looked at her firms Facebook page and she posts a lot on alienating parents. Well that's mine and thanks to her representation and me being disabled and not being able to afford another lawyer. I haven't even heard my kids voices in over a year. So this is not a personal attack on her but just what my experience with her was through a two year divorce. Take it for what you will.
