Hiring a lawyer is a very personal thing. I personally would never recommend Walstead Mertsching Law firm. I paid $300 for a consultation and another $500 for a cease and desist letter to the other party. Exactly one week later I received a certified letter in the mail from Margaret Sturm indicating she can no longer represent me due to a conflict of interest. I called, left voice messages, emailed and absolutely no response back. No money returned. How could Margaret Sturm or Walstead not know this before sending a cease and desist letter?? What an absolute rip off literally from a law firm. Look elsewhere and try to find an honest lawyer. It's not Walstead Mertsching. I will be filing this with the state Bar Association. read more

This attorneys office has been my go to when I need any legal help. From a divorce to a bodily injury case, and parenting plans... I have had great success with these people. I have always been taken care of immediately! They take time to talk to you, help with questions and guide you in the right direction. They have been very professional in all of their communication and timely in legal matters. I never felt like I was judged by anyone in the office either. It's hard to go through any life legal issues. I do not like going to a lawyer or spending the money. But once it is done and things are sorted out... You are happy to have done it the right way. read more

My sister used them for a Will and she need the Will revised. They not only explained a way to us so she did not have to go thru probate. When we had the forms filled out they recommended, they checked them and even came to the car to notarize so my sister who is in a wheel chair did not have to go to their 3rd floor offices. Excellent Service. Thanks Michael and Heidi ! read more

I hired Ryan Busby for a negotiation matter. Although a very new attorney, I thought I should give him a chance. He was passive, non-communicative, and lazy. Three weeks in, feeling ignored and not agreeing with Ryan's approach, I tried to speak with shareholders Frank Randolph and Chelsea Baldwin to let them know how disappointed I was with Mr. Busby's performance as my attorney. They both completely disregarded my messages. I even emailed Ms. Baldwin a second time hoping for her to help me resolve my issues. Once again I was ignored. Finally, I spoke with Joy Mahitka to get the money that was left in my account refunded and I explained my disappointment with the firm to her. She said that there were "many unsatisfied" clients and that she would bring my complaint, along with the others, to a customer service committee. I never heard from her again. I work in a law firm in another state, and our staff would never have been so disinterested in customer service. This firm could not care less about customer satisfaction. What a HUGE disappointment! read more
