My husband has been an attorney since 1975. He has been an Assist. DA in Brooklyn, an SEC…read moreinvestigator for the NYC office, a senior litigator for one of the largest Wall Street firms and then general counsel at a regional securities firm years ago. So we are very careful where we seek legal advice and go professional contact/ referrals all the way . I am very very lucky to have this. We were introduced to Bill Michelson JUST as my husband was recovering from 5 major huge surgeries . My husband had been so ill that we had almost zero income the entire 13 months of his non stop major operations. Mn even gave us food stamps fuel assistance that year! Huge blessing to have received! ( thank God he is fine now). He also lost his mom and brother in the middle of all this and was on strictly monitored major pain killers for 9 of those months. So my husband was "not totally mentally cognizant " in monitoring detailed projects during this time ( 5 rounds of anesthesia " stay in your system a good 12 months" said his back fusion/ diskectomy surgeon. SO... We were a very vulnerable scared couple when we walked in. ( almost all our bills were up to date-- he told us to stop paying everyone that first meeting ) First, Bill was a total stranger to us. My husband has never met him before, and we paid him fairly honestly like all clients He put us IMMEDIATELY at ease and gave us MASSIVE relief when he said that first meeting ," don't worry.... Your terrible physical and economic situation totally understandable after all these surgeries places you in a good situation... I can definitely talk to all your creditors, explain your dire situation today... And there is a good chance we can not only get them to work with us favorably , but I am confident I can get them to cooperate with us And have them lower your debt as well ." I have these as notes from my meeting . You have NO idea the massive waves of relief that rushed through us after hearing those words . So we automatically trusted him 100 % on the spot primarily from the referral and from his wonderous words . Why wouldn't we ??!! I immediately started the 2 years of repairing painting the house then finally packing and moving in December 2015. I left all the legal " mumbo-jumbo" to my husband. 18 months later when our house would not sell and it became upside down/ short sale , Bill found us an excellent realtor of short sales and was our closing attorney as well! We met with him a few times but worked primarily via phone (note: every minute on the phone the attorney's $ meter is ticking) I believe we paid him $10,000+ approx ( I found all bill's letters in my husbands desk... Unopened. Bill would call him tell him what we owed, Jon would pay.) Late August September 2015 we met with Bill. He said," I did not work on your debt overall... I did not want to do anything negative to your credit that would adversely affect the sale of your house (accepted an offer late October 2015)." I just listened nodded had no idea in general what was going on-- I had been feverishly packing . ... But we met with him a GOOD year before putting the house on the market......why didn't you call our creditors asap? We were up to date on many, not all. He DID work on just one debt (Winter 2016) with one creditor (they had filed a formal law suit against us) and negotiated them down 1/4-1/3. We met this spring 2016 and I mentioned to him that we were thinking of meeting with Lutheran Family Svces for in-depth financial guidance. He IMMEDIATELY was agitated excited raised his voice ( 1st time ever ) and said, " don't do that! You don't need them you have me." To make a long story short: we DID go to Lutheran Family Svces on Park ave in Minneapolis and got OUTSTANDING advice!!! We also learned from them that Bill had DONE ZERO... that ALL our DEBT was now 100 % charged out!! Zero negotiations zero reduction of debt. Zero promises . We were in TOTAL shock...... This has put us in very grave circumstances. And Lutheran Family Svces could do nothing to help nor save us... Toooo late...... I did indeed call him about a week later, late at night. and left a message stating that Lutheran Family Services offers outstanding assistance-- exactly the kind of guidance I had been fiercely looking for five years.... that they were NO threat to his work for our amt of debt was too high. I did end by saying honestly that he should have guided us to them years ago, for they could have greatly helped us....AND I let him know I was VERY very angry. He IMMEDIATELY dropped us. Lutheran Family Services is the BEST place to start. Go call make an appointment WAY before you get behind in your bills. They are a non-profit organization that has helped Minnesota individuals and families for years and years... for free. We shall survive, but avoid offers of " loan consolidation"!!!

I would STRONGLY caution any woman before working with this firm. After obtaining my dear friend's…read moreinformation from a public court record regarding a traffic accident, the firm sent a solicitation email seeking her business. That alone was extremely intrusive, but what was truly concerning was they copied her ex-husband on the email. The case involved only her, yet they felt it appropriate to include a spouse (or in this case an ex-spouse) in an email and case involving an adult middle-aged woman. The entire interaction carried a blatant patriarchal undertone, as though an adult woman cannot be approached directly regarding her own legal matters without involving a man. In 2026, that mindset is unacceptable. This would have been deplorable even if it was her actual husband copied on the email. It was, in fact, her ex-husband of many years. The misogynistic and patriarchal tone were clear. To this firm, women are not capable of handling their own affairs without a man being kept in the loop. Take heed, women. There are many law firms that value your autonomy, intelligence and capability. This is not one of them.

Joshua's poor counsel still haunts me to this day - this man is probably good at DWI's, but don't…read morehire him for anything else. He has a clear lack of understanding and compassion for complicated relationships, and also lacks the willingness to listen. I could not have asked for a worse attorney to represent me in my case as he dismissed or ignored every word I said. I am disgusted by his arrogance and his perceived image of himself. I'm not someone who is writing this due to a poor outcome alone - look at Josh's record as he was suspended in 2020 for the following which is quoted from the official letter he was given. You get what you pay for... don't make the same mistake that I did. "The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Joshua Seth London has committed professional misconduct warranting public discipline--namely, making multiple knowingly false statements to the prosecutor and the court while representing two clients, instructing his paralegal to file a request for a continuance with the court that included multiple knowingly false statements, failing to appear in two criminal matters, appearing on two occasions incapacitated and unable to represent clients, resulting in delays to court proceedings, and initially omitting the reason for his incapacitation when responding to the Director's inquiry. See Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, 3.3(a)(1), 4.1, 5.3(c)(1), 8.1(b), 8.4(c), 8.4(d)."

Josh and team took on a highly unusual case that dated back years. Due to the pandemic and the passage of time they did their best to research the case and seek out all parties involved. Josh and John made the process easier showing empathy and lack of judgment as to our situation. We appeared multiple times in court to achieve the best possible outcome over the almost 11 month process. London Defense never asked for more money than we originally agreed upon even though I believe the work put into our case exceeded the amount of hours and court appearances London Defense initially thought would be involved. I highly recommend Josh London and his law firm to act in your best interest. London Defense is not a law firm that will just have you settle the case but fight for your rights within the law. Most importantly, they will do so with professionalism, dignity and not pass judgements on your situation or character. Thanks London Law!!

Criminal Defense Attorney Nick Gegen is a very good friend of mine. I met Nick 8 years ago while…read moreworking as a corrections officer at an adult male prison. I saw many men cone in the system with DWIs and some with vehicular homicide due to being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I had many encounter meetings with Nick and watched him in many criminal court cases. I saw Nick as very empathetic caring individual with excellent knowledge of the law and his ability to work in the favor of the inmates or other new clients in court. He is very professional and with his unique sense of humor to keep your attitude is it he and take on all the fears his clients had of the possible sentencing outcomes by the various judges. Nick is very aware of alcohol and drug addiction and their effect on ones behavior. He immediately calms the client and assures them he will work with them to get the next possible outcome. Nick also knows the financial burden that can add up after one or more DWIs. Attorney Gegen always worked out an affordable payment plan for all his clients no matter their income. Nick told me the reason he got in to crimson law was to help people who needed it the most. Little did I know I would eventually need to retain Attorney Gegen myself for a DWI not once but twice. A very embarrassing and humbling experience for someone as myself in law enforcement. I can not say enough of how grateful I am to him for all his many hours of help and necessary paperwork involved in my two cases. If you want a fair, affordable, and empathic criminal defense attorney Nick should be your choice. Nick realizes even good people can make mistakes in judgement. Give him a call, he will help you like he helped me.

At first I emailed him the situation, then called for a free consultation. He was very open, honest, and friendly. We decided to meet with him to talk about our situation, never once did he judge us, instead he reassured us that he was working for us. Chris made us feel right at home. He had a very warm personality that just spoke the truth, no sugar coating. He gave us some time to think about it before we made any big decisions but I already knew he was the lawyer for this situation. He always showed up to the court dates and told us what was to be expected and what was going to happen. Always took his time to make sure we really understood it and what was going on. After a few court dates, he settled on an agreement with the prosecutor and cut us a really good deal. Better than we could have ever expected. Even I had doubts that things wouldn't work out but the results were astonishing. He made the unthinkable happen. I highly recommend this guy. Hire him.
