Lauren was…read moreprofessional, sharp, knowledgeable and definitely made me feel at ease knowing that my case was being worked on efficiently and with clear communication. She empathized and knew how sensitive the situation was for me and worked diligently to ensure we were ready for the hearing. When she spoke for me at my hearing, she presented my case in a way I could not have done on my own with all I had emotionally invested. She was thoughtful in her choice of words and her demeanor in court and was very well prepared. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and my representatives at Fair Cadora, because when it comes to fighting for what you love most in this world, you really can't put a price on it.

My experience was not a good one. After I submitted an outline of my situation to schedule a…read moreconsultation with an attorney, I was sent another form requesting more details. Instead of meeting with a lawyer, I received a call from a receptionist who, with no legal background, asked for more information about my case. I was told that in order to speak with an attorney and discuss the laws pertaining to my situation, I would first have to pay for their time. I can't recommend this firm. It felt unfair that I was expected to pay for a consultation just to understand the legal process of a divorce. I was never able to get clear information about how they would handle my case without paying them upfront.

During my consultation with Mr. Boyer I found him to be knowledgeable regarding my rights, answered all my questions thoroughly and was extremely professional. I knew immediately he was the right choice to represent me. Mr Boyer and his staff did an excellent job throughout my entire divorce. They submitted the proper documents and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He backed up all our conversations with an email to clarify what was discussed and eliminate any confusion about the process. While counsel for my ex-wife was less than stellar, Mr. Boyer consistently remained calm, professional and informed me of my rights. Mr. Boyer helped me to make fair and rational decisions until we finalized the divorce. Thank you MSM Family Law! I would also like to thank Sara and Stacie in Mr. Boyer's office. They were efficient and compassionate during what was a lengthy and frustrating case. I would highly recommend MSM Family Law and Jeremy Boyer to anyone looking for a competent law firm

I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Garrison ("Bud") Klueck. He was absolutely amazing…read moreand helped me tremendously during a very stressful situation. What stood out most was not just his knowledge and professionalism, but his willingness to go above and beyond when it truly mattered. Bud stayed on the phone with me late on a Friday evening to make sure I fully understood my situation, my options, and the best path forward. That level of dedication is rare. He didn't rush the conversation, didn't make me feel like "just another case," and took the time to walk through everything clearly and strategically. His communication is direct, honest, and extremely effective. He has a strong command of the law and knows how to apply it in a practical way that actually helps you move forward. I felt confident knowing I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about the outcome and was willing to put in the time to get it right. If you are looking for an attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, and truly committed to helping you, I highly recommend Bud Klueck. He exceeded my expectations in every way and made a difficult situation much more manageable.

If you look at their ratings there is a reason they have tanked lately. Bud is no longer handling…read morecases himself and essentially acts as a referral service to VERY INEXPERIENCED lawyers. I went through two different attorneys. The first had just come out of retirement after several years and the second was essentially brand new. Neither of them was familiar with the current judges and both made serious errors that cost me time and money. The routine would go like this: request a meeting with Bud who would then call in the paralegal or attorney actually handling my case. Abundant promises of immediate action would ensue, but 3 weeks later we'd be in there again because nothing had been followed through with. If you decide to go with this firm, take notes at every meeting and ask the attorney to sign them as far as what they are doing and when. They delayed so long in filing my financials that the judge fined ME $5000 and then FLSD refused to reimburse despite it being their error.

Ultimately, my case turned out great and I can't thank W&F enough for their professionalism and abilities! On a side note, they went above and beyond with my situation! I truly appreciate all of their hard work!

Working with this law team was equally as bad as dealing with my Ex. they take your money, Elyse will never speak up or talk back to your emails. My family spent over $30,000 in three months, and I got nowhere. The only advancement I had with the judge was once I fired Butler law and went in on my own. I feel Robbed by this "business". Think, "scummy, crime, steal your money lawyers" This is Them! I unfortunately found them. The documents and emails from Sara Doroaorth could have easily been quick written by Chat GPTin seconds, which were substituted for simple call-backs, just to charge more and more money. Fine....if you're winning. But I got my ass handed to me over and over in court with a "lawyer helping women" PUH-lease. My experience was anything but that in the end. The quality was just bad from this law firm. Absolutely no wins in seemingly an easy case, and lost custody of my daughter for 2 years after spending thousands of dollars to have them help me. Judge Leah Hausch did not like this law team, it was obvious. This law firm will hurt you more, in a sensitive situation, and they won't respond. And their responses and "defense" are just Bad. Judge clearly hated them, and gave my lawyer really no time at all. This is one of those instances where if I could give a Zero or negative stars, I would. And to be honest, the person that really upset me the most is Elise Butler, because when I reached out to her about my case, and my lawyer, as the owner of the law firm, I never got a response from her. I honestly don't even know if she exists. She never spoke back, never wrote me back. I think they were embarrassed by how bad they got their ass handed to them in court with my case, that should've been so easy.

Thank you as well to Mindy, Rebecca, and Casey for always taking my calls and offering support during an incredibly stressful time. I highly recommend the Garwood Reeves team.

She agreed and said, they would contact me and would add a note on the file. That was the only reason why I went with the firm. I felt there was a mutual understanding so i decided to hire Garwood Reeves to represent me. When the retainer was exhausted, no one contacted me, they just sent a bill saying I owed them $$ XX since the retainer was exhausted. Invoices included inaccuracies. - they billed me for "calls" that did not occur. I keep screenshots of all of the calls to record the date and time. - 3 minute calls turned into .5 or more of billable work - 5 minute calls turned into 1 hour billable work. and that rate is at least $450 per hour After months of not talking, they sent me 2 additional invoices for services which I was not aware they were performing. I explained we hadn't talked for months and they had told me months ago we were done. And to top it off, a year later, I self-represented. They got wind I re-opened the case. they sent me a bill for over $2,000 for services I never approved. I was not even aware they were providing services for me. They never called me to discuss the matter. I am baffled. Luckily, I had an email from one year ago asking them to stop billing me (after the 2 invoice) and stop providing services. I am hoping they remove the bill from 2025 because I had specifically stated to stop providing services in 2024. This feels unethical. In hindsight, I feel misled by Emma Slattery so that I can be represented by Garwood. I feel taken advantage of. Also by looking at the several reviews, I am starting to see a pattern i believe that this is typical practice to rack up the billing. Either she is doing this because she's gaining commissions or she is practicing based on the company leadership. But regardless, it is not good. Several phone conversations that I had with her are null and void. She does not recall that I verbally told her several times to stop providing services in 2024. And then in 2025 I told her at least two times that I was self representing. Never did she mention that her company was working on my case . To it resulting in me getting invoiced for over $2000 for services that I was never aware of. My understanding is that we were done with them representing me in 2024.

The request for information he asks for sometimes made me feel like it is over the top, but when it came to the mandatory settlement conference, I finally understood the method to his madness as he walked all over opposing counsel because of his preparation. It was obvious they were ill prepared and no match for Chris's strategy. The exhibits and case law that he presented were so abundant that they didn't have anything to counter, had no push back, and accepted our offer. As far as billing, every month I would get a detailed accounting of the work he would put in on my case, matching the accounting I had recorded, which made me trust he wasn't padding the bills like most attorneys do. I am so grateful I found him and would give him as many stars as they would allow me to give. I would recommend him to anyone wanting sound advice, reasonable fees, and a very well prepared attorney on your side.

He and his paralegals were well informed on the details of my particular divorce and how to translate the mess in legal terms cohesively and at no point did I feel like my time, emotions or money were being played with, which unfortunately can happen in this field. He is calm and strategic in how to handle high-conflict personalities. Anyone who has lived with individuals with strong narcissistic or Cluster B traits knows how complicated those situations can become, and Matthew navigates them with experience and composure. He also has a strong professional reputation and is well connected in the legal community, which became clear throughout our process. Most importantly, he helped secure the best possible outcome for my children and I during a very difficult time. Even when my financial situation became tight, he continued to move the case forward and worked with me so we could see it through to completion. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who is strategic, and focused on results I highly recommend Matthew Mesnik and his team.
