Obtaining an attorney during a legal issue is never easy. Michael made it easy and was confidently…read morereassuring. He met with me to review the facts of my issues and provided me with options. He was open about costs, as well as possible risks and benefits to my decisions. He spent time prior to hearings reviewing my testimony and offered legal guidance. I had multiple hearings and felt prepared because of Michael's guidance and support. He was there by my side to answer questions and advocated on my behalf. He kept in touch with me via phone, email and fax to address legal documents, which required attention. In the end, I felt the legal advice I received was sound and allowed me to make educated decisions. I trust Michael's legal advice and have recommended him to friend's and acquaintances, looking for legal assistance. I will use Michael's services again should I need an attorney.

I worked with Michael on my licensure defense case against the Board. I called the office to…read moreschedule a consult and Michael agreed to meet with me later that same day. His general availability, flexibility, and genuine willingness make accomodations, in my opinion, demonstrates his wonderful work ethic and person-centered approach with his clients. He was there to provide guidance and support during the most frightening and distressing ordeal of my life. At the consult, Michael was up front about the costs. He did not create any sense of false hope nor speculate unpredictable possible outcomes, which I found refreshing. Communication was excellent as he is available through varying modes (call, text, e-mail.) Michael consistently provided prompt responses, detailed information, and transparent instructions throughout the progress of my case. Michael was patient with my many questions and concerns. He never made me feel rushed when we'd go over the expected time, or feel like any kind of inconvenience. Michael provided excellent assistance with revising and collaborating on the final written response. During the prepping/coaching sessions, he made sure I had ample time to learn & practice those skills to an appropriate comfort level. Michael accompanied me to the review panel. I was quite moved by his opening statement. He possessed sincerity and conviction in his words that displayed genuine support and belief in my case. My case was complex and the cards were seemingly stacked against me, yet in the end the Board fully dismissed every allegation in the case. Michael is genuinely motivated, passionate, and devoted to assisting nurses & others receive justice and fair treatment through his utilization of experience and intellect along with the consistent application of ethical practice. I would highly recommend Michael Weber, without hesitation.

Early in the process of my divorce it became apparent that my lawyer of choice was not competent or…read morecaring. Through an acquaintance, Allison was then recommended as someone with superior skills, understanding, and one that would ensure the best outcome for me. Thankfully I took her advice and switched my representation to Allison. By far, the best decision I made through the painful process of divorce was making that switch! Allison was simply fabulous to work with! Her guidance, strategy, and management of the legal process was outstanding and it led to an outcome that I can feel good about for the rest of my life. She always exhibited an understanding of the anxiety, stress, and depression that can accompany dissolution. And furthermore, and most importantly, she truly represented MY best interests. Yes, she was a fantastic legal representative, but she also was a support mechanism. Kudos to anyone that decides to use Allison's services...you will not be disappointed. James M.

I hired Steve Messick to help me with a family dispute over a trust fund that belongs to my…read moreintellectually disabled sister. I should've known right off the bat that this was a bad idea. While Christine Boulay, his assistant was pleasant, when Steve called me back to discuss the case, he was flat, unenthusiastic, and uninterested. Against my better judgement I retained him anyway as I wanted to get started as soon as possible. At no time did Steve Messick call me to explain the process of the case or what to expect. In fact, as the case moved along over the summer, there were actually incidents of him asking ME what to do!! WTH!? I'm paying you thousands of dollars to help me navigate these shark infested waters, and you're asking me what to do!?! I had to tell him yet again what I needed/wanted, even though he feigned that he already knew... Then, as important dates approached, such as filing a motion in court, the firm would hit me with another huge bill. This happened three separate times, and I found it ironic that these bills would appear right when we were at a critical point in the case process. No coincidence! 100% planned! And poor form!! I also had to constantly stay on top of Christine with case progress. I had to e-mail and call multiple times any time I needed an update on the status of any event, such as if the motion was filed in court, whether or not the opposing party had been properly served, whether or not I needed to attend certain meetings etc. In short, communication was TERRIBLE!!! In the end Christine sent me three different invoices all for the same services, with three DIFFERENT amounts!! When I questioned her about this, she wrote me an extensive e-mail trying to explain away her lack of attention to detail and non-communication! After them trying to send me yet another bill for $1900, I was DONE!! I let them know how crappy this was. Then, without a phone call of ANY kind to resolve the miscommunication, this JERK of an attorney simply filed paperwork withdrawing his services as my attorney...2 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEARING DATE!!! This spells in no uncertain terms: ZERO CHARACTER, and the WORST that most people see in attorneys!! Unless you want to experience all of the above and worse, DONT CONTACT THIS FIRM!!! P.S. I hired a smart, competent, female attorney from a different firm the same day, and told them as well to NEVER refer anyone to Steve Messick!

Messick Law is an extraordinary law firm. Steve Messick honored my needs for a power-of-attorney…read more Instead of trying to force me into a standard-one-fits-all, Steve listened to me and my concerns. He was patient with my questions of the process and the meanings in the document. I learned so much from him. When I said what I wanted, he put it in language that is understandable (to lay people like me) and legal. I found Steve to be compassionate, kind, professional, friendly, and respectful.

Attorney Carl Christensen successfully closed our case in less than one month after meeting us…read more The case had dragged on for over a year before retaining his services. While my husband and I initially thought Mr. Christensen was expensive, he actually saved us a large amount of money with a speedy resolution. During our first meeting, Carl assured us we were on sound legal ground. He was confident our suit and counter-suit would be resolved in short order. That was hard to believe after such protracted litigation. He asked a number of questions, and, at times, pushed back against our position. Carl's approach illuminated the issues for us as litigants and for him as an attorney. This also prepared us for push back by the opposing party and provided perspective on what the opposition's motivations were in a clear, direct way. Carl then closed the case with binding mediation to the satisfaction of both parties. His ability to quickly understand the nature of the suit, the counter suit, as well as the personalities and natures of the litigants led to a solid outcome--no small feat--the result of a fine legal mind and years of experience as a litigator.
