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!!!

Michael Thomas is the quintessential divorce and family law attorney. Not only is he extremely determined, smart, and responsive - he is extremely effective in obtaining outcomes that are best for his clients. He handled my complicated divorce case with ease and confidence. His experience alone is priceless - - he knows the system and understand the nuances of family court (and the family court judges, referees, and opposing counsel). I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have an attorney who knows the ropes. Add to this he brings empathy to these often very emotionally exhausting endeavors. Finally - he makes you feel like you are his only client - his connection with his clients is unparalleled in this field. I was 100% satisfied with Michael's work, have referred him along successfully to other people, and would suggest you hire him if you find yourself in a divorce situation.

Going through my divorce was like many people, the most difficult time in my life. Michael not only handled everything in a professional and timely manner, but he also comforted me, was available all the time, and supported me. Michael took the time to know me, listen to me and to become familiar with my marital history. He not only took into consideration all of his professional responsibilities but also listened to me and fought for what I personally wanted in my divorce. His assistant, Beth, was incredible as well. She was thorough, polite and responded to my questions almost immediately. I highly recommend Michael E. Thomas as your divorce attorney.

Mr. Thomas did a fabulous job not only handling a divorce but did an excellent estate plan for me I recommend him for anybody and everybody

Divorce is one of the most difficult things one will ever go through in my opinion and so overwhelming, especially at the beginning. I was referred to Michael and I am so grateful for it. He was every bit of what he was recommended to be. He is professional, reliable & knowledgable but also truly seems to care. He helped me navigate through & was there for me every step of the way. He was invaluable and I highly recommend his services! Thank you Michael.

I have had reason to retain Michael on 2 occasions. Michael is extremely responsive, listens and understands to the whole picture, and makes himself available throughout the process to allay any concerns with honest feedback, and a realistic idea of what to expect. While no one WANTS to be in a situation to need the services of an attorney, I would not seek counsel from anyone else.

During my long and tough divorce process, Susan has always guided me with very professional suggestions in direct and right ways to support my positions, especially I had been a stay-at-home mom for twenty years with none financial experience when starting the process. She is a detail-oriented hard-worker and is very familiar with the law and the systems. She has very good connections with other attorneys and resources. During this emotional up & down process, she is very patient and supportive professionally also with her warm heart. She’s very responsive. She always stays calm amazingly, which helps me to think and respond more reasonably. Susan is also very cost effective. She charges very reasonably and has tried her best to settle my case with least time and money. Susan is not only a very experienced family law attorney, but also a very decent responsible person with my high respect. I highly recommend her as a family law attorney and wish her the best professionally and personally.

Susan Elkouri went above and beyond getting me to a Mediation to finalize a very difficult divorce during Covid. I was dealing with a very unreasonable invidivual, and Susan's experience and professionalism to navigate the the law and all the it offered brought us to a fair and reasonable conclusion. Susan has a great staff who are very responsive. I never felt like there was a lack of transparency. Whether you are a man or women seeking help during what could be a very difficult process, I highly recommend taking a meeting with Susan.

I would highly recommend Susan Elkouri as a family lawyer. She is experienced, professional and a strategic thinker. Susan fought hard for me and helped me navigate through a difficult, emotional divorce.

Both these ladies know what they're doing! They will fight to ensure you are happy and get the best outcome possible. I highly recommend!

I was very happy about my decision to have Susan handle my case. She is a lawyer that will actually sit down and listen to you before coming up with her own agenda on the case. We worked together and successfully got exactly what I was going to court for and a bit more on top of that. I would recommend Susan to anyone.

Channelle is one of the most outstanding, empathetic, hardworking, and responsive attorneys I’ve dealt with. She treated me like I was family and zealous advocated me through a difficult process. I thank God for her meticulous work product and earnest effort.

The attorney's at Kizy Law are some of the most compassionate lawyers you can have represent you. I contacted Channelle late in October when I was surprised by my wife's infidelity. I was referred to her by another attorney who indicated she was the areas best family lawyer. From my first conversation with her, I could tell this to be true. Throughout the process, her law office was in constant communication with not only me, but also my ex. She graciously assisted her and answered both our questions, when she didn't have to. We did things amicable and Chanelle was in support with this, throughout the entire process. All emails were answered promptly and the lines of communication were always open. I never felt as though I was just another client, but that she genuinely was interested in seeing my well being protected throughout the divorce. I don't wish anyone to have to go through a divorce. And I know my circumstances are unique and incredibly rare. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services for any of my friends or family's needs, should they also need a family lawyer who is compassionate, while looking out for your interests. I'm grateful for her assistance throughout the proceedings. It felt reassuring to know that her team of attorney's were looking out for my finances, while I was dealing with the shock and trauma of the divorce itself. Thank you.

I contacted Channelle last minute with only a few days to prepare. Regarding a personal case minor misdemeanor charge. She was extremely helpful and explained to me exactly what I needed to do. I was a bit nervous but she is a professional and I immediately felt at ease and knew I was in excellent hands. She will fight for you and do the very best no matter what. If you’re ever in need of an amazing lawyer call Mrs. Kizy it will be the smartest thing you ever did. Ohh and she was able to get my charges thrown out & dismissed. FINE JOB

I can't say enough of the job these folks did for me, I had a high conflict custody case where the only thing was parenting time. I went nearly three months without seeing my daughter they contacted me almost daily to keep me calm and tell me it would work out once we got in front of the Judge or mediator(although it looked like mediation wasn't going to be an option and it would head to trial)it's just covid was slowing stuff down. This was the 3rd time me and my ex have been thru a divorce and the first two times my attorneys didn't know how to stand up against her attorney who would just make false accusation after false accusation with no evidence and bully my other attorneys. Kristina and Chanelle told me remain calm it will work out. I ended up with joint custody and pretty close to equal nights and for a male in Wayne county you can't ask for much more. They came highly recommenced from my boss (Mark Z) wife and she referred me to the best person possible and I don't think I could of got a better outcome anywhere else. Thanks for all the hard work I know it was hard and stressful but we did it!

The entire team at Kizy law is extremely professional and provides great service. I have been working with Channelle for years and appreciate how she treats her clients like family. You are in great hands with Kizy Law!!!

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.

Cameron Miller has many years experience practicing in the area, and has been very helpful to myself and people I know in various legal contexts. As someone who handles prosecuting duties for the City of Plymouth, he is well-positioned to handle defense work in all surrounding areas. Also highly experienced in civil matters, especially family law. Very honest and fair in terms of fees. Highly recommended.

I worked with Greg through the pandemic dealing with some difficult custody matters. During our first consult, I felt heard and understood. He did not attempt to sugarcoat reality but rather wanted to find the best outcome for my family. I knew then that Greg would take my concerns seriously. He has always been honest with regards to my expectations. And when I felt unsure of anything I ran into, he listened with kindness and provided excellent guidance. He represented me with rigor in our hearing and I know I can count on him to bring the same energy in the future. Finding a reliable and knowledgeable family attorney is not the easiest task. I am glad I found this firm!

Throughout the 12+ months working with Greg on a child custody case, he showed nothing but extreme dedication and hard work when it came to my case. No matter how difficult and hopeless my case seemed to get, Greg was always one step ahead and always looked out for the best interest of my son. He will be 100% honest with you and always work in the best interest of your situation. Not only is he a great lawyer, but also a great person. His partner, Cam, was also extremely helpful and offered advice whenever we needed it. We are so thankful for the hard work of Greg and Cam to get the outcome we never could have imagined of getting and knowing my son is now safe and healthy.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! THANK YOU CAMERON MILLER! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Greg Calabrese handled my divorce case with compassion, integrity, and honesty. Greg and Cam consistently responded to my questions and concerns in a timely manner and their retainer fee is very reasonable. Greg, Cam, the lovely Sam and Buster were a pleasure to have in my life during an uncertain and extremely stressful time. Thank you Miller and Calabrese!

Matthew Caplan is confident, honest, and kind. He has helped me through the hardest chapter in my life. These reviews do not reflect the law offices true capabilities or lawyers. I have recommended many friends also to Matthew Caplan who are also just as happy with his service. He will fight his 100% for you. I am very thankful for him.

Not Julie Demiris anymore! I am my own Julie Ciatti! When you feel like you don’t have a voice. I felt like we were in too much debt for me to leave. Matt took excellent care of me!

Matthew is a great and extremely knowledgeable and experienced Attorney. Very efficient and thorough!! Rachel is great as well. I highly recommend this great team.

I WAS RECOMMENDED BY A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE WHO"S FRIEND USED DAWN AND HAD GREAT RESULTS!! SO I HIRED THEM FOR MY DIVORCE AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY HOUSE WITHOUT OWING MY EX ANY MONEY AND RECIEVED ALLIMONY WHICH HE NEVER SAID HE WOULD PAY ME! THEY ARE VERY PROFFESSIONAL AND KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! KELSEY MINOR DID MY DIVORCE AND WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND WE EVEN HAD A LAUGH OR TWO ALONG THE WAY. SHE IS VERY COMPETENT I TRUSTED HER WITH MY WHOLE LIFE! I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!

My marriage was contentious, abusive, and irreconcilable. I needed a way out and wondered how I would be able to support myself and my kids on a low income teacher's salary. I was recommended to DAWN by a friend, and Matthew Caplan guided me through an ugly, bitter divorce, helped me put a personal protection order in place, and in the end, I was able to maintain my retirement fund, home, and most importantly, my dignity. I couldn't have done it without this firm supporting me through the divorce I dreaded, but knew I needed, in order to become the strong, independent woman I know that I am. Thank you!
