Alexandria Brady has been my family court attorney for nearly a year now. She has done a fantastic job representing me in my case and making sure my voice is heard while explaining to me what to expect and giving me reassurance through out this trying process. I highly recommend her services. She has gone above and beyond more than once, and has exceeded my expectations.

This is hands down the place to go when you find yourself dealing with divorce or child custody issues. Bethany McGrandy is amazing. She is no nonsense, she does not waste time. She tells you honestly what to expect and she fights hard for you. It was evident in court the respect that the judge and other attorneys had for her as well. I could not be happier with my results or my attorney!

Alexandria and the ENTIRE staff at Brady Law helped make a difficult time for me an easier journey. So knowledgeable and helpful at every step along the way. Professional beyond measure. I knew that my best interests were always the goal and I trusted every recommendation. Thank you so much for being such a support for me!!

I would absolutely recommend Ali to anyone who’s in need of a lawyer for custody/parenting time. I actually parted ways with my previous lawyer of 4 years to switch to her and I don’t regret it one bit it. What I’ve been trying to do for the past 3 years, she concluded in about 1 month. She listens to your concerns and is very straight forward with her opinion and your options, but in a very genuine way. She definitely shows you that she’s on your side and will fight for you.

Bethany is extremely knowledgeable of every aspect when it comes to the law. She was patient, helpful, and guided my family and I every step of the way for the entire process. Bethany was exceedingly prepared for every point in my case. She single-handedly got my daughter and I the best possible outcome we could’ve asked for. If you want your case handled with knowledgeable, professional, and prepared lawyers definitely have Brady Law in your corner. Bethany didn’t miss a beat and for that I am grateful .

I just recently retained Attorney Zehr to represent myself in a Complaint of Divorce which not only was a complete shock but emotionally devastating. My decision to aquire her services was made after much research and careful consideration. After my first consultation with Starla,(by phone), I immediately knew I'd made the right decision. Her quick response and knowledge of my complex circumstances lifted such a burden off my shoulders. In addition, the concern and empathy she expressed to me gave me every bit of the confidence I needed in knowing that She would fight for my best interests. I never expected this road of COMPLETE BETRAYAL, especially as we were anxiously planning our retirement together. However, I am moving forward without the hesitation and lack of support mainly because of Starla Zehr. Sincerely, AB

Starla far exceeded my expectations on more than one occasion and the outcomes were greater than I could imagine. Divorce is one of the hardest emotional situations to go through and she listens, supports and guides you through it with wisdom and knowledge. She has an exceptional ability to read people, understands family dynamics, and will advise you on the best solutions to benefit you, your children, your relationships and your finances. She is a strategist and executes the plan with perfect timing and attention to detail. Often we want to rush through these uncomfortable confrontations to get them over with quickly, but if you listen to Starla, heed her advice and follow her key timing, she will position you for your best possible future success in family relationships and financial security. Choosing Starla as my divorce attorney was one of the single most important decisions I've ever made. I'm continually grateful to her for my outstanding results.

I'd hire Starla anytime! She is very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. She is very easy to talk to and she put me at ease. You will not regret working with her. Thank you Starla for your hard work and everything you've done for me. I feel like crying that I can't have you for my Wayne County case because you are amazing! You will not find another Starla.

Starla and her assistant Polly are top notch. Facing a somewhat messy divorce, Starla simplified everything and fought for me until the end. She doesn't play games, is very matter of fact, but yet is caring and attentive. You will not regret retaining her!

We are so very fortunate to have found Starla! She has went above and beyond for our family. Wish we would have found you sooner! We live hours away and she always makes things as painless as possible. Divorce is such a tragedy for any family especially with young children involved. Add a disgruntled Ex and it’s even worse! Thank you so very much!

First and foremost, Thank you Daniel! My divorce was difficult for a lot of different reasons. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't find and hire the Marchese Law firm. Daniel kept me level through the whole divorce. He truly is an amazing court room attorney. His communication / responsiveness was exactly what had hoped for. The whole process was emotional, taxing, stressful, you name it, but Daniel was there like a friend / brother to let me know I wasn't alone. He fought for me and I knew that this was more than just another case for him. My outcome was better than I expected, but even if it wasn't I would still be singing his praises. He worked hard, was prepared, attentive and had great communication. I really couldn't have asked for a better attorney! Above all he was ethical and professional (which is more than I can say for opposing council). Again, I cant thank you enough Daniel and Rachael! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

I was a client of Rachael and Daniel. I went to a couple different law firms to get a consultation and this was the best one in terms of being honest about what my divorce case could be like and what I'd have to pay. I'm happy with the communication and care given to me during my time. My settlement went as well as it could in my situation and I would recommend this law firm to anybody trying to find an attorney in the area.

Daniel and Rachael helped me achieve the best possible settlement in my case. They were professional throughout, explained the process in terms that even I could understand, and helped keep me on track with what was realistic. If you find yourself in need of excellent divorce attorneys, I highly recommend them.

Daniel and Rachael were great with handling my case and helping me out. Divorce not fun but I felt like I got the best result for myself. I felt informed at every step of the process, the advice was honest, helpful and down to earth. I would highly recommend Daniel to anybody considering.

Rachael is straight to the point, takes on the toughest tasks and gets the job done. She's compasionate but fierce when needed and she treats her clients like family by putting forth the extra effort

Scott and Sarah at the Rochester office were professional and efficient in getting a whole estate plan in place for me. They walked me through every step, coaching me regarding what each document was, how it impacted my estate plan, and finally how all of the documents work together. At the end of the process I now have all the documents I (well, my estate) will need when I pass. Thank you.

Beyond satisfied with our experience. Sarah and Scott were extremely helpful through the entire process. Scott took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of our estate planning making sure we understood it all. We learned so much and are grateful to have the peace of mind that all our affairs are now in order.

My husband and I worked with Scott Sumner and Sarah to put together our Trust. They are extremely responsive and helpful. Scott did an excellent job explaining the various options at our disposal, made prudent recommendations, and walked us through every step. We are very pleased with the result and are grateful for the simple instructions to fund our trust. It was a great experience.

The process for preparing a trust was great. Scott and his team were very clear and explained everything in detail many times over. Highly recommend.

Scott spent the time and went over every aspect of our Family Trust so it was clear and understandable. The documentation was organized very well in a binder for future reference by all family members.Scott was professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable in designing an optimal Trust under Michigan law.I would highly recommend the Sumner & Associates P.C. law practice.

Best lawyer. Didn’t get to represent me for very long as my case was kicked out of state, but hands down most hardworking lawyer out there. Always kept me informed and willing to walk me through any confusion I had. 100% recommend and would definitely hire Mr. Farrar back if needed.

Chip was wonderful throughout my divorce. He is caring, thoroughly concerned about my family, and helped to navigate a difficult chapter in my life. I am grateful to have his representation. He is very reasonable with respect to fees and fair in billing time. Highly recommended!

Very nice kind lawyer... I would recommend to family and friends.

Chip is a pleasure to work with, is easy to talk to, and keeps his client's best interest in mind. He is knowledgeable and informative in many areas of the law. I would highly recommend his services to my family and friends.

Lisa is very professional and gets the job done. I very highly recommend if you’re in Detroit metro or beyond.

I hired Lisa Stern for a child support / visitation case and it was a complete disaster. I would not recommend her services to anyone. Upon meeting Lisa in our initial consultation, I was very impressed. She was friendly, competent, and put my mind at ease. She told me she "guaranteed" that the opposing party would not get what they were asking for. She told me she would be there with me at the trial. The day before my hearing Lisa phoned and told me she could not be at my hearing and was sending her associate, Laura, who had been briefed on the case. Laura could not have been less prepared. After sitting in the court room for several hours, my case was called and Laura was nowhere to be found. After another hour I had to physically go to another courtroom where she was sitting (without a client) and pull her out. By the time my case was called again, it was the judges very last case at the end of a very long day. To make matters worse, Laura looked like a deer in the headlights during the entire hearing. She barely said anything at all on my behalf and did not bring up any of the points or arguments Lisa and I had discussed. She may as well have not been there at all. When I told Lisa what had happened, she told me she trusted Laura to represent me as well as she would. She then charged me another 2+ K to do a motion for reconsideration to correct the fact she'd sent someone incompetent to represent me. The motion for reconsideration was denied. At this point I had paid Lisa over 4K...for literally nothing. At this point I promptly let Lisa go. Several months later it came to my attention that Lisa had never removed herself as my attorney of record. When I reached out and asked her to do so, she told me she would not remove herself unless I paid her an additional amount to do so. My new attorney informed me that this is absolutely unacceptable and it is the attorney's responsibility to remove themselves as attorney of record if they are let go - at NO additional cost. The entire experience with this firm was terrible and negligent. I paid a lot of money and received the most pathetic representation imaginable. Lisa Stern cares more about running up her bills than actually representing her clients. STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY.

Never called back

Lisa is awesome; she is smart, savvy and truly cares for her clients. She helped me through some very tough and dark times and was able to smooth over some mistakes that I made and advised me on how to best navigate some very sticky situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Oh Lisa! My angel and warrior. After dealing with a horrible Domestic Violence situation, Lisa steppes in and removes any worry or doubt in my mind. She gave me peace of mind that allowed me to heal and recover from an abusive relationship and focus on raising my son. She is honest, up front and a fighter. 5 stars is not enough for her! I trust Lisa 100% with my life (my amazing son). Not only has she been my attorney she has been a friend. She takes my calls anyway or time to reassure me that everything is in my favor. You ask for it, Lisa will get it done! God bless you Lisa, thank you for restoring peace in my heart and mind.

The day before my hearing Lisa phoned and told me she could not be at my hearing and was sending her associate, Laura, who had been briefed on the case. Laura could not have been less prepared. After sitting in the court room for several hours, my case was called and Laura was nowhere to be found. After another hour I had to physically go to another courtroom where she was sitting (without a client) and pull her out. By the time my case was called again, it was the judges very last case at the end of a very long day. To make matters worse, Laura looked like a deer in the headlights during the entire hearing. She barely said anything at all on my behalf and did not bring up any of the points or arguments Lisa and I had discussed. She may as well have not been there at all. When I told Lisa what had happened, she told me she trusted Laura to represent me as well as she would. She then charged me another 2+ K to do a motion for reconsideration to correct the fact she'd sent someone incompetent to represent me. The motion for reconsideration was denied. At this point I had paid Lisa over 4K...for literally nothing. At this point I promptly let Lisa go. Several months later it came to my attention that Lisa had never removed herself as my attorney of record. When I reached out and asked her to do so, she told me she would not remove herself unless I paid her an additional amount to do so. My new attorney informed me that this is absolutely unacceptable and it is the attorney's responsibility to remove themselves as attorney of record if they are let go - at NO additional cost. The entire experience with this firm was terrible and negligent. I paid a lot of money and received the most pathetic representation imaginable. Lisa Stern cares more about running up her bills than actually representing her clients. STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY.

    Lisa is awesome; she is smart, savvy and truly cares for her clients. She helped me through some very tough and dark times and was able to smooth over some mistakes that I made and advised me on how to best navigate some very sticky situations. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Oh Lisa! My angel and warrior. After dealing with a horrible Domestic Violence situation, Lisa steppes in and removes any worry or doubt in my mind. She gave me peace of mind that allowed me to heal and recover from an abusive relationship and focus on raising my son. She is honest, up front and a fighter. 5 stars is not enough for her! I trust Lisa 100% with my life (my amazing son). Not only has she been my attorney she has been a friend. She takes my calls anyway or time to reassure me that everything is in my favor. You ask for it, Lisa will get it done! God bless you Lisa, thank you for restoring peace in my heart and mind.

Where do I begin? It has been quite the long journey since I was served divorce papers.  I knew I needed to hire an attorney, so I did a Google search on “Best Divorce Attorneys in Metro Detroit”, and I came across BEST INTEREST LAW. I read all the (good) reviews and also noticed the high Star rating. So blindly going into the process of divorce, I called. I nervously spoke with Dennis over the phone and discussed my matters with him within an hour after I had left him a voice mail. He told me what to expect and advised me to begin preparing for certain steps and phases of the process. He helped me in every possible way from the beginning all the way to the end. He would always make sure that I fully understood some of the verbiage that was written before me. He always guided me in to making the right decisions both on professional and personal levels. He was very supportive and took the time to listen to me when I just needed someone to talk to regarding the difficult hardships of divorce. He is defiantly a fighter and can play hardball with the best of them. Dennis was by far much more prepared than our opposing attorney.  He is very organized (I don’t know how he does it) and knows his profession very well. Dennis always returned my phone calls, emails and text messages.  He is a true professional, and a class act guy! I highly recommend him. So now that my divorce process is over, I am now the one writing the review instead of reading them. If you are searching for the Best Divorce Attorney in Metro Detroit, like I did, look no further than BEST INTEREST LAW, because Dennis Germain IS the best. He did everything possible to get me the best results in my case. I don’t feel like I hired an attorney as much as I feel like I gained a friend. Thank you for everything Dennis!

Thank you Mr. Germain, for all the time you spent with me on the phone yesterday, you knew going into the phone conversation you don't work in my area, but still took more than an hour and a half of your time to give me the best advise possible. I will definitely recommend you to anyone!

Dennis is a fantastic dicorce lawyer who truly cares about his clients. He will work tirelessly on your case and he will not leave any stone unturned. He was very detail oriented and organized when dealing with my case. I had many issues arise while my case was ongoing and Dennis went above and beyond for me. Dennis will flat out out work the opposing attorney, it will be very evident when you see the work Dennis does compared to the opposing attorneys work. Emails and phone calls were responded to promptly, sometimes even after work hours. Dennis is very honest, he will shoot you straight from the beginning to the end. I would highly recommend contacting Dennis if you need a divorce lawyer, you will be in great hands.

Five stars just does not do this man any justice!!!!!! Above and beyond incredibly kind and informative, Thorough, compassionate, over all heaven sent, and I was not even able to retain his services due to work load, but with his guidance I found great and compassionate representation. Although I read reviews all the time I have never felt compelled to write one until this encounter with Dennis. He is amazing period

Great Lawyer! I received the personal attention my case deserved. Dennis always thought through the future steps and made decisions to benefit me in the future. Highly recommend!

Maybe if I would've gotten a call back after calling and leaving multiple messages I could leave more than 1 Star.

He was very professional and helped me get my adoption records after trying for years, thank you so much steve!

Steven was absolutely great to work with and wow did he get the job done. I must say, the front desk staff in Port Huron was very helpful too. The outcome of my case not only helped me, more importantly, it helped my family! I would highly recommend The Heisler Law Group!

I had Spindler Law assist me when I was served with a divorce. I was facing emotional and financial demise. The first time I spoke with Keri, I felt everything was going to be okay. She was engaging and inviting to the experience. Keri listen to my muddled thoughts and she would unravel them and makes things clearer. When I needed extra time to review bank statements Keri was patient with me. She was always available. Keri responded to my calls and to my emails promptly. She always remained upbeat. She kept the momentum and I needed that. I never felt that she talked over my head or used "lawyer jargon". Keri has this way of making you feel like you're talking on the same level and at the same time she's professional. Kathryn has also help me. She took care of the issue quickly and efficiently. The paralegal staff is welcoming, nothing is too much trouble and there always was a willingness to help. I am glad that I met Spindler and Associates Law Firm.

We had Kathryn Wayne-Spindler do our estate planning. She took the time to determine what we needed, and she formulated a plan that we think will work very well. The office filed things for us quickly and the cost was minimal. I would highly recommend this firm.

Kathryn and her associates were wonderful to work with. She helped me through my recent divorce - she was there for me through the entire process, answering numerous questions, providing advice and helping me to make decision at a very difficult time. She always responded in a timely manner and is very caring and sensitive. She's an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her.

I've recommended to many friends. Excellent service from people who care.

Cannot begin to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for Kathryn and her entire staff. Kathryn, for me, was a godsend. Going thru a custody battle is never a pleasant experience anyone involved but Atty. Spindler made it such a calm and seamless process for me. We are in different times now during this current pandemic. Slow court process and tied up court paperwork. Kathryn was able to navigate thru all of that nonsense and also keep me in a calm state. Throughout the entire process Atty. Spindler was extremely responsive to my calls and all of my concerns. She DID NOT nickel and dime me for every single question I had. My former divorce attorney is the one that referred me over to Kathy and I truly thank God she did. It is extremely difficult in today’s society for a father to be heard and judged fairly. Especially when it comes to the custody of a child. Kathryn had no preconceived judgements regarding my case. Viewed it fairly and on its own merit. Gave me the confidence that we would win based on the circumstance and evidence brought forth. Not one one time did she deviate from that initial summation. I will always be grateful and thankful for Atty. Kathryn Spindler. She is very passionate about Family Law and genuinely cares about her clients. I strongly recommend speaking with Atty. Kathryn Wayne-Spindler for any family litigation needs!!!
