    "She Truly Cares"
    If you want an attorney who makes you feel like they are more interested in fighting for the rights of children rather than expanding their pocketbooks, I highly recommend my attorney Kristen Wolfram.
    - Tonya W.
    "Kept Me Informed"
    Matt was very informative. Gave me options pertaining to my case. Kept me informed as to the progress of my case. Was with me in court and worked on protection my rights.

    "Thrilled With the Outcome"
    I had the pleasure of having Melinda as a lawyer. She was very caring and supportive. She and John assisted me in my divorce and I couldn't be more happy with them or the outcome.

    "Beyond the Call of Duty"
    Jonathan Hecksel went way above the call of duty to make sure that me and my husband were treated fairly with our case. I would say hands down that he is a great lawyer, and anyone should be grateful to be represented by him.
    - Former Client
    "He's On Your Side"
    Matt was a savior during the worst time in my life. Matt was extremely helpful with getting me the custody of my kids. He guided me through this rough time that I would surely not be able to do by myself.
    - Former Client
    "Highly Satisfied"
    Kristen held our hand through a very painful custody process. She handled everything with not only professionalism but sincere compassion as well. She made us feel like more than clients; like she truly cared.
    - Dan W.
    "With Me at Every Step"
    Melinda helped me through every step of the way with my divorce and kept me level-headed. She and Jill are so sweet and caring. I strongly recommend her for your attorney needs!
