Read my comments before you spend time and money on legal representation that may get caught between a rock and a hard place.. When It comes to finding a firm that care about doing what's right for their clients there isn't a better fit in the area than Underwood and Associates. I as a single mom of two was in a bad situation that required someone who by was diligent and willing to fix a mess created by a previous attorney. Not ONLY did Mr. Uunderstood and his staff fix the mess created by my old attorney he knew how to ensure I had the outcome I wanted ULTIMATELY . He has compassion for his clients and cares about the cases he handles realizing it has an impact on this lives of many involved in the matters . I was extremely impressed with his paralegal Sandy. She was very knowledgeable about the court system, the family codes and always answered each and every questions I had throughout my case. They are worth the time and money!!! I will use them only going forward. Excellent Service!!! 5 Star Rating !!!!

DO NOT USE Messed up…read moreon not one, but two, custody cases. Major custody issues that were exploited by opposing parties. I don't mind paying extra for good attorneys, but I expect BASIC details to be included in basic court documents. Attention to basic, normal, details. Case one, mediation with exhusband on a child custody case to resolve harassment. In doing this, the child custody order was redone with new changes. However, they missed details and didn't include a prior agreement for dad to pay half of all child activity expenses. Ex immediately noticed the mistake in his favor after everything was sign sealed and delivered. As this was not an issue being altered, I didn't think to read to ensure it was in the docs correctly - I counted on my expensive attorneys to handle issues on my behalf. On a second child custody case with my new baby, after a 12 hour mediation and paying for AND insisting Draper attorneys do the final order docs (as I didn't trust opposing counsel's attorney), Not only did I not feel like my attorney fully had my back asking I back down just to get it over with, she didn't even include the rotating claiming of our kid on taxes in alternating years in the court order. So it had to be renegotiated after the order where he tried to claim his CPA said he was owed the right to claim each year because he made more money, but when we did agree they provided no formal agreement signed by parties just an email agreement but even then - no followup to confirm an agreement was struck BUT did let me know a bill was due. Now I'm being threatened by said "coparent" with tax audits and will have to hire an attorney and go back to court against a man who can burn money. The images attached are AFTER mediation and the court order so they can't respond and blame anyone but themselves. Or say I wasn't a client. I should have had more backbone at the time and pushed them to formally fix immediately but I was distraught, full of cortisol, and felt like a POW with PTSD coming out of mediation. AND they were still billing me making up for their mistake. Not to mention the thousands paid in activity costs for 2 kids on the other case they messed up. Just because a bunch of moms in a Facebook group tag Holly Draper because she answers free questions there (or used to) that doesn't mean they are good attorneys with attention to detail. Very disappointed as I thought the higher cost came with better attorneys.

I had multiple lawyers tell me my facts and evidence would make mine easy... but every time I got in court they would fumble and drop the ball. I had the facts but no one wanted to take the time to see the details. My divorce was mediated and settled... but the custody issues continued. I got a new lawyer and they wouldn't communicate and made things so much worse! I took a leap of faith and reached out to the Gunnstaks Law Office and I felt so much better! They were kind and actually looked you in the eyes. Mr. Gunnstaks has confidence, but still talks to you- not at you. He came in the office to handle my case while he was suppose to be on medical leave, and even came to court. We still have more to do, but I feel so much more confident that he saw the truth I have been desperately fighting to prove.

Update to previous older Review, but important! Just ran across this review in files, researched…read moreand noticed previous review was not in detail, which is very important. I REGRET hiring C Luke Gunnstaks and Gunnstaks Law Firm. I have in writing from Gunnstaks, that I "would receive all of my money in the IOLTA account." When I began realize in August 2017 (after the court hearing the end of July and only a few days after the second mediation) what had happened in my case and began asking for Gunnstaks to be accountable for his actions and also his invoicing and statements, Gunnstaks began saying I was delusional and needed psychiatric medical care. He withheld $25,054.75 from my IOLTA account for the months of Aug. 2017 to the final decree date of 12/04/17 which equals a billing of approx.$6,236.87 a month! There were NO in person court appearances or mediations and I had to be proactive forwarding documents to Opposing Counsel myself. I also began doing my own research and found many discrepancies from what I had been and what was reality. Thus I began asking more questions in reference to accountability. Gunnstaks continued telling me I was delusional and need psychiatric help and would not sit down and go over his invoices. His taking the $25,054.75 was also above and beyond his being paid $18,850.00 in cash, for a Divorce for a couple who were both over 67 yrs. of age, married 10 years at the time and had no children. Grand total received by Gunnstaks: $43,904.75! Gunnstaks had told me he would have my divorce final by 08/02/2017 and it was not final until 12/04/2017. There were also many other issues from August going forward. I was in shock the day of my court appearance and when I received my case docs, I found that Gunnstaks DID NOT HAVE ANY HAND WRITTEN NOTES from the first Mediation! I then wanted to settle and Gunnstaks told me "Rebecca, give me 2 days and I will have the cases!" He later told me he had them. 2nd Mediation, he did not have any cases pertaining to my issue. There are so many other issues; filling out the original Contract of Services in the wrong name, and filling out a single Limited Power of Attorney in 3 different names, Rebbecca, Walter and Watler and changing the date without my initials! He forwarded to me the wrong Divorce Decree to sign for court, and he changed items on my Divorce Decree without my knowledge or consent and forwarded them to Opposing Counsel! The list does not stop here. Gunnstaks was to provide me ALL OF MY ORIGINAL CASE DOCUMENTS and HIS HANDWRITTEN NOTES WERE WITHHELD! He would not forward them to me by Certified Mail, so I had to send a 2nd Courier to pick them up.Gunnstaks banned me from his office so I was not able to pick up my own documents and a Courier had to sign for them "blindly" not knowing what was or not being received etc. thus the second courier. I also had to hire another attorney to review and make corrections necessary to my final divorce decree. This is what Gunnstaks wrote in a Certified Letter to me with a check for the balance of my IOLTA account after he took out "what he thought was fair and reasonable expenses" ($25,054.75): "It is my sincere hope that you will seek professional mental health care as I have only recently suggested, and I hope that you will faithfully follow any medication recommendations of your treating physician/psychiatrist, in order to avoid being foreseeably found to be a danger to yourself and/or to others by a Judge of a Probate (Mental Health) Court." I feel this is a threat. (2026 Update: Read reviews from here and other sources...POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK...this is Gunnstaks comeback for any fallout on his part!) I do not want Gunnstaks to do to anyone else, what I have been through. 03/12/2023 UPDATE...I haven't thought of this in several years...but recently I watched the nationwide/worldwide trial of an attorney who lied to his clients, stole their money and had no remorse. I thought...WOW! Then this morning, in clearing some old old docs from my computer, I found this. Thought both were very interesting and thought perhaps it was a sign I should post this document likewise. Be careful out there!

Afterwards I was told that the attorneys reviewed my info and wanted to meet with me to discuss but I needed to pay a hefty fee before they would tell me if I had a case or not or any information at all. This despite the ad here on Yelp saying they offer free consultations. I didn't have a problem with the fee, there was just too much uncertainty and I didn't feel like they would be a good partner for this sensitive issue. A simple "we think we can help you or at least offer some ideas based on what we've read so far" or "we don't think we can help you based on our initial review but would like more info"... would've been preferred. Instead it felt like they could just take my money just to say "sorry, we can't help you."

We completed mediation and then, when mediation failed, they refused to file suit. All they wanted was a quick settlement, quick money so they didn't have to do much work. As a paralegal, I know that when an attorney refuses to take your case to trial it is incredibly hard to get another attorney to represent you. By taking our case, never intending to represent us through trial, they basically ensured we would not be able to find another attorney and would not be able to sue to recover our damages. To say this is unethical is an understatement. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM OR THE SAME THING MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU.
