I have utilized Shannon's legal expertise on multiple occasions. We had a land contract and quit claim deed written up by her for purchase of property up north...she took care of all the details and everything went smoothly. I have consulted with her on several business matters and she has always helped to bring clarity for me. If there were ever any questions she felt were out of her realm of expertise, she was always up front about it and then connected me with some who specializes in that area. I am certainly thankful for having this connection! I am now utilizing her services for all collection issues we have with our company. This area of service seems to be streamlined and much less of a hassle on our company. I appreciate the time and attention Shannon puts into her work and would highly recommend her.

Shannon Schlegel providing my family with exceptional representation during a very difficult and challenging time. Her professionalism, knowledge of family law, and patience with us was second to none. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for high quality representation!

Shannon is extremely kind, patient and fair. She is excellent at helping you see things from various perspectives so you can come to a conclusion. Shannon helped us with creating our Will, which is a difficult matter anyways, yet we found it pleasant and much easier to go through than expected. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Shannon is a great attorney who is dedicated to her clients. She will do a thorough job with the case and she has earned the respect of judges and attorneys.

Shannon assisted me with a custody case in Clinton County, Michigan. She is a wonderful attorney and person. Shannon is dedicated to her clients and community. You won't be disappointed. If you need assistance with a divorce, family law, custody, or adoption, Shannon should be your first call.

I've been working with John and his team for almost five years now, regarding Custody and parenting time concerns. I honestly think he is the best Family Attorney in Livingston County. There is absolutely no one else that I would choose to represent me in Family court. I can't say enough good things about John and his team!!

I started looking for an attorney about 5 years before my divorce. I decided to meet with John Gormely, who usually is the attorney for the husband. He was professional, honest and knew exactly how to handle my divorce so when the time came I hired him. He handled my case better than I even expected. Poor ex cried and screamed like a baby at mediation. Mr. John Gormley is the attorney that gets you results. Highly recommend!!!

John and I had a mutual client in common so I was able to see firsthand, the diligent work that he performed under stressful court deadlines. He was always polite and courteous with me and our client regarding difficult accounting and trust matters. I would highly recommend John to anyone in the future. It was good to have him in our corner.

John Gormley believed in me and was my true advocate. He has a brilliant mind and does not forget or miss even the most minor detail. John is honest, straightforward and well-liked. In depositions and in court he is fierce, executes by his photo memory of case law and knows what it takes to win. When bad things happen you need to watch for the good ones that come in. John was that for me and I'll be always grateful.

Best law firm in Livingston county. John and the staff here are so easy to work with and always eager to help. The outcome I always want and always get. Would recommend to anyone with legal needs!

I recently was involved with a altercation/incident with a neighbor and found myself needing a good defense attorney. I had known Dennis Hurst from years past but was informed he was in northern Michigan so I was referred to his associate Ben Whiting. Ben is very personable and we got along well which I can;t stress enough is very important. After reviewing my case Ben assured me this was not the OJ Simpson trial and thought this could be handled quite easily. Things seemed to take a long time to get settled but I found out this was not Ben's fault but just the way the justice system works.I will always say Ben taught me patience and trust. I also found out it's not just what your attorney knows but also who he knows. Very important.Anyway all said Ben turned the case completely around and it was won in my favor. Need a good attorney call Ben Whiting!

Do not use ben whiting. He will never call you back. He will not get your orders signed so then that makes them void. Check billing as he charges for things never even done. Do not ever trust your life or your childrens life in the hands of ben whiting.

I have nothing but great things to say about this law firm. Ben worked on my case and made sure all was accomplished before deadlines. Not only was the work Ben did on my case was exemplary, but the precision it was done with got my case dismissed with flying colors. His legal assistant Katie was very helpful and kind through the process. I would recommend this law firm hands down. Thanks, Ben!

I would not confide anything in Ben Whiting. He is extremely unprofessional, will not contact you back, has been caught lying, and will insult your intelligence and your integrity and will not follow through on anything he says he is going to do extremely unprofessional

Thank you for the positive resolution of my case. I recommend this law firm!

Mitch Perrault was referred to me as one of the most high quality family matters lawyers in Livingston County. I have been astounded by his ability to navigate an extremely complicated child support case. I could not be more thankful for the time, patience, care & putting my child as the number one priority, while making us feel of importance even though he stays very busy. I would recommend this lawyer one hundred times over for these matters as he has proven to live up to his referral. Thank you for being so knowledgeable in your area of expertise, honest & fair. Bryson & I appreciate it fully.

Mitch did a great job. Compassionate and showed sincere interest in doing his best for me. He was always easy to get a hold of and always eager to listen and provide advice wherever I needed it. I would highly recommend him.

I have had child support issues for several years. Mitch has represented through a difficult case with clear and practical legal advice. He was also very understanding about my personal issues. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received.

Mitch went above and beyond to help me when I needed him! He made the process simple & easy and answered all my questions I had by going above and beyond. I can’t thank him enough for giving me all the time & effort he has. I think he’s wonderful at what he does and I learned a lot from him during the times we met. I would highly recommend him for all of your needs!!

I cannot recommend Mitch enough. I was embroiled in a very messy situation with an ex wife and my attorney who had become unresponsive, so much so that the courts were threatening serious actions against me due to my previous lawyers actions (or lack there of). I reached out to Mitch and he immediately started the ball rolling. He jumped in the deep end of my situation and guided me in a expert manner, with poise, experience, and confidence. Thanks to his service, my case immediately turned around and things are in the place they are supposed to be. Mitch Perrault conducts himself with honesty and integrity. As someone who is still feeling the burn of having a bad lawyer, Mitch's presence in my case has been nothing but positive and helpful, for ALL parties involved. He is responsive with communication and help at a time when the average person needs just that. He was incredibly accommodating with my schedule and put in the extra effort to make sure the little aspects of my case were handled flawlessly. If you, or anyone you know, is in need of legal counsel, stop wasting precious time and worry and call Mitch.

Outstanding law firm! Mr Literski and his staff are professional, diligent, and precise. They are aggressive, welcome constructive feedback from their clients, and are obsessed with winning. I was a new client going through a divorce, not working with Mr Literski I had my reservations, HOWEVER, he out navigated opposing counsel in every direction and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Harris and Literski for my legal issue in Livingston County. Thank you Mr Literski!!!

Speaking as someone who took his clients to court multiple times, I thought Matt did a great job. He consistently lost and seemed to throw temper tantrums when he did. He never seemed prepared and at times appeared disinterested - acting as if he had better things to do. All the better for me. I'd guess little Matty had everything handed to him from daddy and he would never have amounted to anything on his own. Someone like him just isn't capable so they ride on the coat tails of others. He had that "entitled" attitude so I learned him the hard way. I doubt he'll ever get it though. I would NOT recommend hiring this firm.

Terrible service. Can't believe they consider themselves a law firm.

Very Professional easy to talk to always there for you if you call them ....

I'm in the process of getting a new lawyer now. Was told I have a simple case to recover money that is owed to me. Sent emails without any response more than once.

Kellie fought for my son to get custody of his two minor children. Our whole family was extremely happy with her and the way she handled it professionally. We have since had her handle additional legal matters. Highly recommend the firm.

This firm was recommended to me. At the outset there were options posed to me which never came to pass. I was given a lot of misinformation. The attorney consistently forgot details about my case. I would never suggest this firm to anyone.

My husband and I spent years in a seemingly endless custody battle for his daughter. After many lawyers and tons of evidence ignored or swept under the rug we had reached a point where things seemed hopeless. That’s when we found Kellie. She was a breath of fresh air. Fun loving, witty personality and extremely smart. She knows what she is doing. She built us up when we were at our lowest, made us laugh when we wanted to cry and most importantly, she fought for our daughter as if she were her own. She was in constant contact with us. We never felt out of the loop on anything. In fact, she even contacted us numerous times out of her normal business hours (one time at 10pm) because something major happened and she wanted to get on it right away. Needless to say, our voices were finally heard and we obtained full custody. Due to circumstances, I was also able to adopt my daughter. Kellie celebrated with us and made sure the adoption process was smooth from beginning to end. We have also used Kellie to write our wills. I couldn’t imagine having another lawyer no matter what life throws our way. She is well worth every penny. You can trust that she will take care of your needs and will make things as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn’t recommend her more! She is the best of the best!

I hired the firm to assist me in a license restoration. Kellie was very helpful in all aspects of my case in which we received a positive outcome. I would highly recommend her and the firm. Very professional.

This firm has been such a life saver! They are very compassionate, professional and willing to help you as best they can. They came highly recommended to me and I have zero regrets on taking that recommendation and running with it. Thank you, Podolsky and Wickham, for all you do.

She built us up when we were at our lowest, made us laugh when we wanted to cry and most importantly, she fought for our daughter as if she were her own. She was in constant contact with us. We never felt out of the loop on anything. In fact, she even contacted us numerous times out of her normal business hours (one time at 10pm) because something major happened and she wanted to get on it right away. Needless to say, our voices were finally heard and we obtained full custody. Due to circumstances, I was also able to adopt my daughter. Kellie celebrated with us and made sure the adoption process was smooth from beginning to end. We have also used Kellie to write our wills. I couldn’t imagine having another lawyer no matter what life throws our way. She is well worth every penny. You can trust that she will take care of your needs and will make things as smooth and seamless as possible. I couldn’t recommend her more! She is the best of the best!

    I hired the firm to assist me in a license restoration. Kellie was very helpful in all aspects of my case in which we received a positive outcome. I would highly recommend her and the firm. Very professional.

    This firm has been such a life saver! They are very compassionate, professional and willing to help you as best they can. They came highly recommended to me and I have zero regrets on taking that recommendation and running with it. Thank you, Podolsky and Wickham, for all you do.

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!!!

We used Jenelle several years ago to prepare our will and trust documents. We were pleased with that experience and this time we used her for a real estate purchase. We will use her next to update our will and trust documents.

I would highly recommend Jenelle Velarde to any friend or family member. Throughout my experience, Jenelle was right by my side to encourage and support and advise. She is incredibly fluent with Michigan divorce laws and has a vast depth of experience, which allowed Jenelle to anticipate what might be coming next and be proactive to ensure that we were always prepared. Jenelle is always available and incredibly responsive and makes you will feel like you are her only client. Her proficiency, dedication and passion is second to none. I have nothing but incredibly positive things to say about Jenelle Velarde!

Janelle helped me establish a family trust and provided meaningful expertise and guidance in an area in which I have little experience. I really appreciated her thorough review of my family’s needs. Highly recommend!

I can honestly say that five stars is nowhere near enough for Jenelle!!!! From the 1st 5 minutes of the initial consultation for our lawsuit, she has referred to my case as "OUR CASE!" (BEFORE SHE EVEN TOOK US ON AS CLIENTS) She always been up front about the expectations of the cost, the motion fees, whether filing a particular motion or objection would be in the best interest of our time/money or if we should go another route. She has provided an updated invoice at anytime that I have requested it to see where we are at financially and is very up front. She has great experience with much of the legal community. She can ADVISE based on case by case basis, by what she has experienced, what she thinks any particular judge would decide BEFORE spending the money and rolling the dice. This has helped us to determine which route to take many times. She has so much love and passion for her job and it REALLY shows! She responds in a very timely manner and tries her best to keep hopes and spirits high for a great outcome. This is my 1st experience with Jenelle and I will not only refer everyone that I know to her, but I will never go to anyone else for legal advice in the future. Jenelle...WE LOVE YOU DEARLY AND WE SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK FOR OUR FAMILY ????????????

Jenelle is nothing less than amazing! 1 Million stars would not do her justice! If you want someone that will be in your corner and fight for you and your family, Jenelle is that person! From the moment I met her, I knew she would be the one to change our lives. Caught up in a lengthy custody battle, that required a plethora of time and effort, Jenelle never waivered. She stood for what was right and just. If you want someone to fight for you and to give you straight forward answers and thoughts, this is the attorney you want in your corner. She is straight forward and no nonsense which I love about her. If I had a thought or idea, she would honestly and directly weigh in. Very responsive to phone calls and emails and works tirelessly for YOU! She is highly respected by her peers, which is a valuable asset within the legal system. I cannot thank her enough for what she has accomplished for my children and myself. I would not hesitate at a moments notice to use her in the future. Thank you Jenelle for changing our lives. We are truly indebted to you.

Very, very glad I gave this place a call. My questions were greeted warmly, and I received very professional advice. I did not feel rushed in conversation, and I felt my concerns were validated and responded to. From beginning to end, I was very pleased.

I am a truck driver and they did great job on my ticket. I gonna recomend them to all of my friends in case of need for a professional and responsible lawyer. Thanks again

I emailed Justin about a gun related question (not a criminal case) and within a few hours had a response to my question even though I am not a client of his. Without having working with Justin before I can't speak to the process of working with him but would call Justin if I every have the need for a defense attorney. I would recommend Van Den Heuvel Law Office to any of my friends who have gun related questions or need a defense attorney. Thanks Justin!

We met with Howard to get his wisdom when dealing with parenting time modification. He was extremely helpful and his wisdom and experience showed as he was very knowledgeable on the process. Howard also made himself available for what they refer to as “a-la-carte”, meaning they can give you counsel right over the phone for a time rate. His counsel gave us much peace going into legal matters that we were extremely unfamiliar with. Highly recommend Howard!

Absolutely the worst decision you will ever make. They are just there to collect money
