If you’re looking for results go see Craig Martin. He’s professional, knowledgeable and will represent you vigorously.

Always have been there for my brother and I been with this firm as long as I have been alive! before that my grandparents 60+years thank you for your service ????

Kudos to Attorney Craig Martin for doing an excellent job on my case from beginning to hopefully now the end. Very Professional , sympathetic and down to earth. Helped saved me thousands of dollars in expenses I might have needlessly spent. Highly recommend this firm for anybody who has to deal with Elder law issues.

If you are in need of an elder care attorney - give this place a call. Craig Martin helped me and my family greatly. As my Mother was being treated at the hospital, I started my discussions with Craig to get my mother qualified on Medicaid, as I knew she was headed to a long term care facility. He helped me navigate keeping my mother's home, conducted onsite interviews with the medicaid office, and was responsive by email. If you need an elder care attorney or are unsure if you need one, give Craig a call. If you have no assets whatsoever, go ahead and perhaps receive free help from the nursing home. If you have anything more than that, you need to talk to an elder care attorney. Medicaid is difficult to navigate and he will create a plan. Mistakes in planning for Medicaid can be costly...and the long term care facility will be looking for the family to pay out of pocket. Don't hesitate to give Craig Martin a call.

Jason White and his staff were so helpful to me and my sister when we needed to get my mother qualified for Medicaid. They are very professional and knowledgeable about this topic. They certainly made my life easier when I needed to help my mother. If you have need for someone to help you with Medicaid or financial planning, Jason White is the person to contact. They are the best.

After searching for YEARS for a quality attorney who knows his stuff and has the most professional demeanor, we finally found the one. His name is Jeff Cadwell, and we hold him in the highest regard as a powerhouse of knowledge and dedicated professional to fit our needs. He is outstanding!

Me and my sister lost our mother in South Bend and we each live out of town, Martin Barnes was able to work with both our schedules and kept us well informed on our mother's probate estate. Clear directions and was able to be reached at any time. Highly Recommend!

My husband and I are recently married and we were looking to get our first sets of legal documents (power of attorney, healthcare, living will, and even a trust!). We had the good fortune of working with Marty and he really took the time to break down the process in a way we could understand. He always made sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into, and was endlessly patient with us. We would highly recommend Marty!

We used Mr. Barnes for estate planning and we were very happy with the results. He spent all the time we needed answering questions and providing options for us.

My husband and I have used Marty Barnes for legal matters several times. We've found him to have the utmost integrity and he is conscientious with our time and money. We highly recommend him!

I love the firm they great Lawery’s every time I had a problem they took care of I would recommend my friend and everyone I know to use this firm

I had a great experience with them, my old employer tried to file a claim against me for non compete agreement. They didn't even just lose, they had to pay all of my attorney fees. I would highly recommend them they were professional, responsive, and know how to get the job done representing you. Great experience.

This isnt the firm I use, but David is the attorney for the Town of Winfield, they were hired due to my complaint. I have been told that if I have any questions and such, i need to deal directly with David Austgen, i have left several msgs and emails no response, I guess because he is getting paid big bucks from the town, he doesn't want to talk to me, my complaint was investigated I cant even get the outcome. Just a ridiculous office to deal with, i would search for another firm. He just wasted everyone's time and tons of money without any outcome response.

Few years ago was not in my right mind, coerced into ambulance. The city got these guys to make me pay. Entered payment agreement, pretty sure I've paid out more than triple the original bill. Made last payment a couple months ago but just got a letter saying I'm late with last month's payment. How can that be if I made the last payment the month prior?

Rip off attorney. Collections for medical bills and making a profit from people who are hurting financially after a medical emergency. Charging interest and extra fees on medical and ambulance bills. This is not right. Took us to court we paid what the court paper said over a year making payments and now he wants an extra 220.00 dollars. That is not right.

Deb at Law Offices Of Michael T. Sawyier was more than helpful in my release of mortgage action. She was attentive, quick to respond, and was always more than happy to respond to any inquiry I may have had (which were many). Everything went smoothly and the process was fast and efficient. I'd recommend their services to anyone requiring legal services. You'll be more than satisfied. 5 stars!!!

I have had multiple dealings with Mr. Sawyier. He and his team are very professional. My dealings are mostly real estate related and I deal with attorneys from NY, LA, SF, etc and the fact is Mr. Sawyier can run circles around these guys. If you need a knowledgeable detail oriented attorney to protect your interest do yourself a favor and call Mr. Sawyier.

My husband and I needed legal assistance related to our business in seeking legal remedy for unpaid bills that we had invoiced from another entity that we were doing business with. We have found him to be very helpful in advancing our case-carefully weighing the best options to move it forward efficiently to help reduce time and associated legal expenses. Michael Sawyier truly brings customer-first attention in his dealing with his clients. We are repeat customers-working with him in creating our LLC and in estate planning. He has tremendous personal integrity coupled with significant, proven legal expertise.

Mr. Sawyier has been very helpful in setting up our estate trusts and wills. He also has been invaluable in helping with a very complicated land sale. His rates are also very reasonable. We value him as a trusted friend as well as our attorney.

I couldn't be more happy with the service provided and the pricing structure. They have responded with answers for any questions or issues that arose in the last six years of our doing business.

After putting off creating a trust for longer than we should have, my husband and I were very pleased with Mr. Rasmussen’s knowledge and expertise in setting one up for us. He was personable and friendly and made us comfortable when asking questions. He made the whole process easy and we liked the set fees he offered up front. Thanks Corey and Nakisha! We would definitely recommend Corey to our friends and family!

Corey quickly prepared Power of Attorney Documents, Caregiver Agreement and Medical Directives after meeting with him with my 92 year old mother and my husband. We all came in over two years ago and paid him $900 for his drafting of these documents. We were told to call him and come back if we needed any updates or advice and we have left several voice mails for him and never received any call back. Not happy. Seems he does not want to continue helping us. And, please don’t say you have looked at your records and can’t find our name as ever coming to your office. We have the documents. Seems staffing problems should be addressed if you can’t find people’s names or take time out of your schedule to return calls. John and Jacquelyn Dressler for Mary E. Marsh.

Corey Rasmussen was very helpful and friendly. His knowledge and thoroughness was shown in every detail. His staff is responsive and respectful. We are very satisfied with our choice of Attorney.

I called Corey to get an update on a probate. Both he and his staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. I would consider this a very “Rough Around the Edges” Law Firm. Mr. Rasmussen thank you for proving my point with your attorney answer. No I am not a beneficiary. We have since found a law firm that took care of our case in month what you couldn’t do in over a year but kept asking for more and more money.

Cory Rasmussen and his staff are knowledgeable, professional and were timely with the estate planning documents. We were very satisfied.
