Getting a return phone call or email is impossible! She missed the courts deadline for when papers were to be filed and for when the modification was to be done. As for the adoption case, it's a very simple case to do. We've had a death certificate going on two months now, told we needed to re-sign the paperwork we already signed, and she lost/misplaced the copies of the kids birth certificates. If you want a attorney who gets the job done in a timely manner, has great communication, and gets paperwork turned in by the courts deadline she's not the lady for you!!

I fired several attorneys who didn't even read emails in a timely fashion and were content with just waiting for their percentage. Mr. Smith stepped up with the utmost honesty and professionalism. Other attorney's actually quit when they saw him coming. He is the attorney you hope for and is well respected among his peers.

You might want to watch out for attorney Frank Murray Smith my father late father had him do will…read moreback in 2018 and the original will that my father had him do Frank was propositioned by my father's surviving wife he rewrote the said will leaving me with a lesser inheritance, and now I find out that all my father's wishes were not follow the law according to Iowa Legal Aid so why would my father ask me to become involved in a in legal or informative position in his will as an executive then to turn around and supposedly leave me with nothing so I guess it proves that attorneys well some attorneys will go ahead and do whatever it takes for money it's truly sad that people would do this in this day and age but that's what I've got I've got witnesses to what my father's wishes were nothing happened to where my father's wishes would have been reversed or altered in any way and now I find out that there is as best as we can figure three different Wills so Cavite emtor, or in other words perspective client or buyer beware Once Bitten Twice Shy so if he'll do that for money what else will he do !

I had pushed my brother to file for Social Security Disability as he was diagnosed with Diabetes and a few other issues. Well, we were notified by Mr. Colwell that all the paperwork he filed went through and was approved the very first time. All my brother had to do was give the office some info along with his signature and the office did the rest. What a huge relief that my brother will have disability money coming in because he can't work anymore. This office and Mr. Colwell are the best! Highly recommend contacting them. Thank you again for all you have done for my brother.

Like another reviewer here has stated, I was unexpectedly dropped as a client after my hearing. The…read moreattorney's withdrawal letter stated that their office would not be filing an appeal of the judge's decision on my behalf. The judge has not made a decision yet, so I am not sure how they know that I will be denied. And if they knew I would be denied all along, why did they take my case in the first place? If I would have known this from the beginning, I would have used a different law firm that wanted to win. So fair warning that this is the kind of treatment this firm gives the vulnerable population. Not sure how they sleep at night.

I have worked with Lisa twice. The first time was several years ago in the divorce from my ex…read morehusband and custody of our children. My ex had many severe mental health issues and DHS investigations that were never founded. I met with many attorneys for consultations but none were as passionate and concerned about my case as Lisa. Where other attorneys said the best they could do was get him full weekend visits, Lisa was able to advocate for me and prove that this was concerning, and was able to have him be ordered supervision at all his visits with my children until he enrolls in therapy, which he never did. I recently hired Lisa again to represent me against my most recent ex who has been stalking and harrassing me for the last two months since our break up. He entered a guilty plea and attempted to skip the trial, but Lisa once again fiercely advocated for my wish to be able to tell my story and so that she could get him on the stand. Lisa was able to prove that he was a danger and habitual domestic abuser According to records on him. My ex was sentenced the maximum number of days in jail as well as a ban from entering my county. Lisa is an incredible and passionate lawyer and a fierce fighter for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone!

My cousins met with Lisa and she made plenty of promises and told them what they had to hear to get…read morethem to hand her 10k. Than she handed a high conflict custody battle over to someone who had only been in family law for a very short time. After having to make them fix the documents several times due to wrong names, or spelling or irrelevant information. They finally filed her case with the court ​after saying another lawyer (her daughter) would take the case. Once the case was filed with the court they called my cousin to tell them that they can no longer represent her due to a conflict. Mind you at this point they have already take 2k from their money. She was finally able to get the rest of her money back minus the 2k. Come to find out from other lawyers this is common, and she will refuse to take a case that will go to trail. So dont bother taking a high conflict custody battle to this woman. She will leave you high and dry while setting you up for failure. Thanks to her actions her ex husband has done nothing but stalk her and cause problems between her and the child. Because he now knows she was going to take him to court. Shame on you!

This was the first time I ever needed a lawyer over a preposterous ticket with the risk of revoking…read moremy license. I was referred to 'Big Mike' or Michael Boomershine by a fellow classmate of his and I have to give a big shoutout to the entire Sullivan and Ward Law Firm. Simply because the way they operate, the attention to detail, and constant updates by mail and email made this situation a million times easier for me. Michael was always available for phone calls and any other questions by email which I truly appreciated. He was thorough in my case, and gave me the confidence to attack this situation head on. He's a very personable guy, he understands mental health, and also loves defending people. He's one of the few lawyers I truly believe will give anyone a chance, and for that is why I gave this review. He is very deserving of the future success coming his way, and we need more people like him defending the vulnerable in today's society. I will never hesitate to give Sullivan and Ward a call if I ever need Michael as my lawyer again.
