Amazing lawyers worth every penny. My case was handled by Nonie, Sharnae, and Melissa and they did an outstanding job. The level of preparation and attention to detail in my case was beyond my expectations. I came to Just Law after having another lawyer handle my case and I am glad I did. Nonie represented me in court and secured the best possible outcome. I would recommend Just Law without a doubt.

Wonderful, communicative and willingly available with any level of question regarding my case. Working on multiple fronts from modification to custody and I've been given the certainty that all will work out for the best. TEAM JESS has my full confidence and have been tremendous to work with during a very difficult spot as a father trying to best protect himself and his family within the states general unfairness regarding alimony and custody.
I am very grateful for this team and the hard work they have put into my truly important and personal case and they continue to do so with a genuine level of care and commitment. I give them my highest recommendation.

Just Law exceeded my expectations when it came to hiring Nonie and her team to represent me. They’re honest, hardworking and very kind. My experience with this law firm was very pleasant and they were extremely helpful when easing my worries when it came to my case. If you’re looking for an amazing family lawyer, then Just Law is the firm for you!
I have had a very complex and confusing situation with my divorce, dealing with multi states and various attorneys in each state however, after contacting Just Law and corresponding with Conor via email to get a clear understand of the process and steps that will need to be taking I feel so relieved and confident I will get this case closed soon. Conor thank you for being so detailed in your explanations so I can understand. You really know your stuff and so efficient in your reply. I truly feel Just Law is working with me to win my case and not just to take money as others made me feel. Thank you to the whole team @ Just Law

I was referred to Just Law when I wasn’t happy with the attorney I had originally hired. Laura and her team are absolutely amazing! I was almost certain my case would end up going to court due to the contentious nature. Laura is a miracle worker as we were able to settle in mediation. The entire Just Law team is very responsive, thorough and have the highest attention to detail. They take the time to explain what was happening, options, and next steps in the process. They have the highest morals and work ethic even when opposing counsel was less than truthful. Laura and her team were so easy to work with. They took what was an absolutely horrible experience and made it as smooth as possible. They are compassionate and listened when I voiced my concerns. I would recommend Laura and anyone at Just Law to represent them.

Spencer and his team are amazing! Spencer took the time to explain the process to me in detail. He heard me out and was upfront and honest with me about my case.
I am naturally a very strong willed woman and am not one to show my emotions. I knew exactly what I needed help with and knew I couldn’t do it alone.
Originally I had filed my divorce on my own and did all the paperwork on my own. Shortly after my divorce was finalized my situation changed and the environment for my children became unsafe and I needed help to modify my divorce decree and protect my children.
When I was referred to Spencer I was scared about trusting someone to help me and I was really worried about the cost. After talking to Spencer I felt so comfortable with how I was spending my money and that I knew it was so worth it. I felt confident that he could and would help me and he did just that!
Spencer is a genuine lawyer who works hard and will listen to you and give great legal advice. We won the case and everything worked out. I am so pleased with his hard work and extremely happy with the prompt communication. I am so glad that I listened to the person who referred me to him! I highly recommend him as a lawyer.

Jess and her team were absolutely amazing. Jess was fully invested in my case and was an amazing guide through such a hard process. I looked for a lawyer for a while and interviewed a bunch and every single one talked about money first and that is all they seemed worried about. Jess almost forgot to talk to me about the money side of things. She is still fired up about her job and ready to really work for you. I am so glad I found this team and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better one.
Thank you so much Team I hope you all are doing great!!

Hands down Spencer is the best lawyer you will find. Him and his staff made one of the worst expierences Ive had to go through so much better. They always took the time to make sure I had all the answers and all the information I needed. It didn’t matter when I needed something they were there for me. He treated me like I was his friend not a client and looked out for my best interests and calmed my fears and helped me find the best possible solution in cases where it was a lose lose. Above and beyond that All the business and people who work with him are all huge fans and speak highly of him and a great which shows me what a great person he is. I would have lost my mind without him having my back. I can’t say enough thanks for all he’s done. He will absolutely make sure that you are first and he looks out for your interests regardless of whether it costs him sleep or time he does it without complaint! Thank you for being there for me !

Just Law and specifically Spencer Ricks were retained by me to assist and get me through a very difficult divorce. Spencer was amazing, he was quick and responsive to any issues and questions that arose. On more than one occasion he calmed me down, and talked me through the mediation process and why I shouldn't be concerned. Most importantly Spencer represented me through mediation. I was utterly amazed at how well mediation went in my favor, I didn't get everything I wanted. But, what I got was more than fair. In a system that feels rigged, against fathers Spencer more than leveled the playing field.

I would, without hesitation, recommend Jess Couser and her team to anyone requiring family legal help. Jess has been my attorney for a little over a year and a half now and she has been absolutely amazing from day 1. Going through a custody dispute has been horrible and Jess has managed to take a lot of the stress of it off of my shoulders. She is realistic, composed and so supportive of the issues that are important to me. I, unfortunately, went through three different attorneys before I found Jess and my previous attorneys did nothing but waste my money and make a huge mess of my case. I wish I would have has Jess on my side from the beginning. Before I worked with Jess, I felt that I had no one on my side, advocating for my child, now I have an entire team supporting me! For each one of them I am immensely grateful!

They absolutely deserve all 5 of these stars that I'm giving.
At the beginning of my divorce I was with a different attorney/law firm who pushed for mediation when I wasn't sure that was the direction I wanted to go and didn't properly educate me on the divorce process. Because I wasn't ready to continue with the next step and wanted to consult my family before making a decision he emailed me on a Saturday saying that if I didn't pay the firm for the next phase/step by Monday he'd drop the case. So, I let him drop the case. Frantically, I start looking around for different attorneys (all over the phone consultations since I'm in a different state) and talked to Laura (one of a few that I had contacted). She was direct, firm, and educated during our conversation. She took the time to explain my best options and was very thorough in her approach as an attorney. She genuinely cares about getting you through the divorce quickly and understands that divorce isn't cheap so, doesn't want to drag things on just to make money. Mediation went way better than I could ever have imagined and I got everything I wanted. Her staff is exceptional. Mediation was a month ago for me and my ex's attorney has been very slow submitting the final decree and paperwork with the court. Melissa and Conor have both been emailing me updates and following up with the other attorney consistently to make sure that everything gets done.
They care about their clients and go above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend this Law Firm; they've completely turned around the whole experience for me and been fantastic. I can't say enough good things about them.

I was referred to Jessica Couser by a friend who talked wonders about her so I decided to ask my friend for her information and scheduled a consultation. off the back the staff was very friendly when I went to my consultation, when I went to speak to Jessica she was very friendly listened to all of my concerns and asked all the right questions, she never rushed me even though it was a free consultation she explained everything the whole divorce process gave me a good pricing detail and told me that if I wanted to look around to see who I felt most comfortable with but let me just say she made a very good first impression so I decided to go with her and her team. Everybody the whole staff was amazing always kept me informed of everything that was going on with my case, they answered all questions and concerns they were always available for me. on top of that Jessica kept me in the price range she had quoted me there were no unexpected fees or bills!! I am very happy with my decision and happy with the outcome. I will always go back the Jessica and recommend her to any one I know. trust me you will not be disappointed.

Nonie, Conor, and Melissa are exactly who you want to be on your team, especially during very stressful times. If you need a law firm, this is the firm you want, end of story.
UPDATE: That initial review was written 5 months ago. Unfortunately, this is one those rare instances where a really positive review isn't enough. Nonie, Conor, and Melissa have ALWAYS achieved any expectation I had, and I can have pretty high exceptions, especially with extremely competent professionals. They take the time to explain things to you, willing to answer whatever question you have, no matter how silly or insignificant it is.
At one point during my situation, they told me "not too worry about this", and for the first time in my ENTIRE LIFE, I realized not only was I not worrying, I wasn't even thinking about it, because they were on it. That has never happened before.
For those "value conscious" individuals, numerous times I told this law firm I wasn't paying them enough, and I never thought I would tell a law firm that. You probably can find cheaper, don't know if you can find better, very confident you are not going to get a better value.
The original review states "If you need a law firm, this is the firm you want, end of story." That may be the biggest understatement I ever made.

Upon first meeting with Nonie Ferguson, she was pleasant enough and seemed to want to be an advocate for me and my situation. I worked with her for a few months until she stopped responding to my emails and questions. Weeks would go by before I would hear about progress and that was done with hounding, which is ridiculous. Further, I was told up-front they work on a flat rate platform. They advertise this on their website for godsake! I was shown a form indicating the costs involved and was told out-right they DO NOT bill by the hour. The initial payment of $1,800, which was indicated on this form was paid. Then I received another bill of hours and other charges I was never told of, nor were they explained! I was flabbergasted and irate. I disputed this and they removed the charge. I proceeded with Nonie until my intuition was basically yelling at me to get a second opinion. So I did. I showed my mothers trust lawyer, who also practices family law, the current draft of the custody agreement Nonie had supposedly been working on. He laughed, and said, "This looks like she pulled this off a 'do it yourself legal help website.'" For FREE this new lawyer put together a new draft for me. He brought up issues and amendments I of course didn't even think of because I'm not a lawyer and have never had to go through this scenario in life. I could not believe how much Nonie just missed the mark entirely. I can only speak to Nonie's capabilities at this firm and not the rest. She seemingly didn't even care given her refusal to speak with me and answer my questions. In general, she simply doesn't know what she's doing. Beyong Nonie's individual qualifications, given this firms billing practices I can definitely say they were NOT honest and that speaks volumes about the way they are running this business.

They made a very painful process and decision so easy. I never thought I would need a divorce attorney, but I had interviewed several female attorneys in the SLC/Ogden area. I decided to work with another attorney but something didn't feel right. So I kept looking and found JustLaw. Best decision I could have made. The receptionist to the attorneys and all the employees in between are careful with their words, protective of their clients, and sage with their advice. They went above and beyond in each call, email, and question answered.

My experience with Just Law could not have gone more smoothly. I contacted them about changing my legal name and gender marker to a neutral “X” and Jessica Couser took my case. She reassured me that I would not be the first person she helped get a neutral gender marker. She was flexible and gave me options to meet my financial needs, so I chose to fill out and file out the legal documents on my own. It took a bit longer to take this route, but Felicia and Anna were helpful to answer my questions and concerns throughout the process, and Jessica reviewed my paperwork to ensure there weren’t any issues. The case was successful and I couldn’t be happier! I am recommending their office to all of my friends who have similar needs. Thanks so much for your help!

Before you spend all your money on this law firm, read the civil immunity for counsel section of the fee agreement. Saying even if the attorney or law firm is negligent, you can't do anything to them, or try and fight to get your money back. Beware. Read the agreement. They will rob you.

I would not recommend this law firm to my worst enemy. They expect you to do all the work then charge you to file court documents over and over again.
Their paralegal Sharnae left positive character witness statements out of my declaration, I paid money for each and every statement. When I asked her about the missing statements she told me I was rude.
Nonie is NEVER available, no one is EVER in the office on Fridays. An attorneys is supposed to put their clients at ease and all I got was pressure to respond to documents in less than 24 hours. I personally put more into my two cases than this office and they charged me $20,000.00 and I’m still not divorced.
I was not notified court was cancelled, I took work off for it and ended up on the phone being told Nonie couldn’t make it so they re-scheduled it.
The billing is a joke, they charge you what ever they want, your retainer means nothing so don’t for 5 minuets think that’s what you’ll pay. Plan on paying 5 times your retainer and doing all the work!
The only means of communicating for free with these people is email.
All they want to do is drag everything out and continue to go to court to make them more money.
After I responded to another bill Melissa wrote me and email lying for the Nonie, my attorney who continually missed court document deadlines and has for the past year!
I also have personally gone to their office in attempt to retrieve my personal documentation 3 time, and have been unsuccessful because they cannot locate it.
Thanks for nothing!
***update** This is a response to your companies shady review response; Nonie charges $250.00 a phone call, that’s just another way to get money! My review is honest and true and if your company responded to phone calls or emails I would have to call anyone not should I. Nonie should of done the jobs she was paid to complete which she didn’t it’s call SERVICES NOT RENDERED!
You should communicate with your clients and not rip them off and make fun of people who spend $20,000.00 with your company while doing all the work for you!
Your attorney charged me $1,500.00 for a mediation that didn’t happen and showed up in blue stripped leggings and chuck taylors, late, she looked like she just jumped out of the shower with wet hair. Real professional, not! Her and the mediator pretty clearly had plans to go shopping and no plans to finnish my divorce, you ripped me off there again!
If your company took it so seriously you would respond to the Better Business Bureau with something better than its against a contract to speak with them. Nonie didn’t sign the contract and I have email proof! Also if you cared at all your office would return calls, emails and answer court responses in a timely professional manner.
Also Nonie was not should of taken cases when she was so focused on her own wedding didn’t care about anything but her wedding, which I’m sure my fees help fund!
This is Just Laws way of avoiding paying me back for services they did not provide! Your owners can call me you got my number!

I appreciated their speedy communication and regular updates on my case. The peace of mind and care I received from Just Law was priceless, and I got the outcome I had hoped for because of them. This is absolutely a brilliantly-skilled team of professionals and I will continue to recommend them to friends and family any chance I get. Thank you, Just Law!!!

I loved how welcomed I felt from the moment I walked in their doors for my free consult. they were the first law firm I chose to meet with and ended up being the last because I felt so strongly they were the law firm for me and my case. Tara Reilly and her team are amazing and provided me with everything I could have needed and made this whole process of a custody modification go by smoothly and as quickly as possible. and then to top it all off because of them and their experience and expertise I won my case! I am so thankful for Just Law and being there with/for me every step of the way

I am so glad that I found this law firm and chose Laura, Conor and Melissa to help me with my custody case. I was nervous and worried just like you are if you are reading this review, I chose Laura because of her good reviews but still I wasn’t really sure if I had made the right choice until I started talking to her and we went to trial, she is very knowledgeable and realistic and she knows what she is doing and also knows what she is talking about. She made the other attorney on the other side look silly (McKenzie Armstrong with brown law) stay away from brown law. Conor who is actually in charge of most of the drafts and documents is much more knowledgeable than many attorneys out there that I have seen. He is sharp and he gets the message across in a way that takes so much stress off your shoulders. Melissa the office manager is just a happy young lady who is running 100 miles an hour always but makes time to talk to you and listens. This group of people are amazing at what they do and their best quality in my opinion is that they communicate with each other and with me. They always know what’s going on and they keep you in the loop, I know them very well after working with them for 2 years and after they helped me win custody and basically everything I was asking for. I consider them a friend and I will always keep in touch with them no matter what!

I hired Nonie as my attorney for a custody battle. Seriously this team went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of! They would either email or call me daily with updates or just to make sure if I had questions that needed to be answered. By far THE best team you could ask for to support you in any kind of situation. Nonie got me everything I asked for in court with custody. Extremely satisfied with the outcome. I truly cannot say enough awesome things about these guys they were amazing!!!

Laura was a terrible lawyer. She was hired to help me in my custody battle. She was representing me during the custody evaluation and didn't help guide me through that at all. The custody evaluation is huge when you are dealing with a custody battle. Because she dropped the ball (she didn't even take notes during the custody evaluation hearing....among other things) it messed my case up badly and I wasn't able to recover from that. I fired Laura but the dammage had been done. The attorney I hired after her wasn't able to fix the cruicial mistakes she made and I ended up signing custody of my kids to my ex. It's the worst mistake I've ever made. And I credit most of that to Laura for the terrible job she did on my case. She is lazy and won't fight for you. If you're dealing with a custody case, find another attorney. Laura is useless and will take your money and leave you worse off.

I was welcomed when I walked in the front door by a very kind and caring person. No judgement. When I first met Nonie with Just Law she put me at ease immediately. Nonie, Conor and Melissa have been very patient through my divorce, stress and anxiety. They are professional, courteous and caring. They have answered my questions when asked and supportive through rough times. If someone asked me for a great family law firm, I would definitely recommend Just Law, and Nonie of course, over anyone else. Thank you all!

The divorce lawyers at Just Law are stellar at what they do. They care about their clients and protect them throughout the court process. They know what they're doing in court and at mediation. The judges and commissioners respect them, and so do other divorce attorneys, which means they get better results for their clients. You want Just Law by your side during your divorce.

SOLID attorney.
After having met with quite a few other attorneys about my complicated and daunting child custody situation, I was referred to Spencer Ricks by a friend. That referral completely turned my situation around.
From our first meeting, he cut through all of the confusion instantly, asked all of the right questions to gain an understanding of what we were dealing with, and started putting together a game-plan.
My situation with my son is night and day from what it was, and that is ENTIRELY due to Spencer, and his case manager, Liz’s, handling of my case. A couple of things that made the difference:
- As a guardian ad litem in Utah, Spencer works with some pretty traumatic family law cases involving minors where he needs to look out for the best interests of the child, and is very used to dealing with tense and heartrending child custody cases. Soooo yeah, good luck ruffling his feathers. - Spencer and Liz were always quick to get back to me with any updates, or answers to questions. From writing up and filing an incredibly long and complicated motion with less than a day’s notice before the deadline, to dealing with minor interactions with the other party’s legal counsel, there wasn’t any point where my case was waiting on Spencer or Liz. - Spencer is very good at reading people and situations. He asked the right questions, but he wasted no time in arriving at conclusions. He was also direct with me, and didn’t beat around the bush about my intentions or what I could expect out of our motion. He didn’t hesitate to tell me when I was being an idiot. - VERY prepared. He was thoroughly unsurprised by the opposing counsel’s tactics - the same could not be said on their side. - Spencer and Liz make an excellent team. He seems to trusts his staff and vice versa, and hires staff he can trust (see “Spencer is very good at reading people”). They won’t sling mud or use dirty tactics to help your case, but they were great at approaching the situation from an unexpected angle to find the best solution.
Again, my situation is night and day from what it was, or what I hoped it would be in my wildest dreams when I started this process. And by the way, just comparing total legal costs, since he doesn’t waste time, going with Spencer was EASILY the most cost-effective avenue I could have taken.

Laura Hansen-Pelcastre, Conor, Liz, Melissa and the rest of the Just Law team are phenomenal. Laura is a very knowledgeable and experienced family attorney. Laura is brilliant in her work. Each person in the Just Law office is an expert in their area. Just Law turned a very daunting experience into a calm, reassuring, and comprehensible process. My favorite thing about Just Law is that they sincerely care about the children and what is best for them. I am grateful I had them on my side, especially during mediation. They were very understanding, caring, and professional. I highly recommend Just Law to anyone needing family law, especially those with their children's best interest in mind. The costs were reasonable and worth every penny. Let them help you bring peace to your mind and peace into your life and family! Just Law is truly the best.

The only good part of a really bad divorce situation was working with Jessica. During the whole process I felt like she really cared about me and my kids' situation. Four and a half years later I called her because of a child custody issue. She remembered details about my case without looking anything up and walk me through the steps I need to take to resolve it. I recommend her to anybody!

Spencer and Liz, at Just Law (UT), are an amazingly dedicated team. Always prompt with replies and updates, professional and caring. They go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable, keeping you in the loop and to make sure all of your questions are answered. Living in another state, I wasn't sure how everything would work out. I am so fortunate to have them representing me. They go above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone needing help with custody issues.

Great staff to work with and has my highest recommendation for family law practice. They are very knowledgeable and will help you with your case thoroughly. It can be costly, but worth every money you spent. They communicate promptly in a timely manner. I highly recommend this family law firm to families that are going through custody battles and divorce cases that are hard to come to a mutual term. Good luck and humble thank you to Just Law Utah team for your hard work to get through my case successfully.

This is my second time of requiring legal services, as with the first result it's been beneficial. No experience is ever the same and cannot be compared with prior results.
I however have come out feeling well with my results. Aside from some "typo" issues and mild miscommunication the results are as expected.
The office is friendly and comfortable, Laura and Melissa are professional and attentive to questions and or concerns.

I am very grateful for this team and the hard work they have put into my truly important and personal case and they continue to do so with a genuine level of care and commitment. I give them my highest recommendation.
*Knowledgeable and Informative* I look forward to hearing back from you and working with you in the future.
The entire Just Law team is very responsive, thorough and have the highest attention to detail. They take the time to explain what was happening, options, and next steps in the process. They have the highest morals and work ethic even when opposing counsel was less than truthful.
Laura and her team were so easy to work with. They took what was an absolutely horrible experience and made it as smooth as possible. They are compassionate and listened when I voiced my concerns.
I would recommend Laura and anyone at Just Law to represent them.
I am naturally a very strong willed woman and am not one to show my emotions. I knew exactly what I needed help with and knew I couldn’t do it alone.
Originally I had filed my divorce on my own and did all the paperwork on my own. Shortly after my divorce was finalized my situation changed and the environment for my children became unsafe and I needed help to modify my divorce decree and protect my children.
When I was referred to Spencer I was scared about trusting someone to help me and I was really worried about the cost. After talking to Spencer I felt so comfortable with how I was spending my money and that I knew it was so worth it. I felt confident that he could and would help me and he did just that!
Spencer is a genuine lawyer who works hard and will listen to you and give great legal advice. We won the case and everything worked out. I am so pleased with his hard work and extremely happy with the prompt communication. I am so glad that I listened to the person who referred me to him! I highly recommend him as a lawyer.
Jess and her team were absolutely amazing. Jess was fully invested in my case and was an amazing guide through such a hard process. I looked for a lawyer for a while and interviewed a bunch and every single one talked about money first and that is all they seemed worried about. Jess almost forgot to talk to me about the money side of things. She is still fired up about her job and ready to really work for you. I am so glad I found this team and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better one.
Thank you so much Team I hope you all are doing great!!

I, unfortunately, went through three different attorneys before I found Jess and my previous attorneys did nothing but waste my money and make a huge mess of my case. I wish I would have has Jess on my side from the beginning. Before I worked with Jess, I felt that I had no one on my side, advocating for my child, now I have an entire team supporting me! For each one of them I am immensely grateful!
At the beginning of my divorce I was with a different attorney/law firm who pushed for mediation when I wasn't sure that was the direction I wanted to go and didn't properly educate me on the divorce process. Because I wasn't ready to continue with the next step and wanted to consult my family before making a decision he emailed me on a Saturday saying that if I didn't pay the firm for the next phase/step by Monday he'd drop the case. So, I let him drop the case. Frantically, I start looking around for different attorneys (all over the phone consultations since I'm in a different state) and talked to Laura (one of a few that I had contacted). She was direct, firm, and educated during our conversation. She took the time to explain my best options and was very thorough in her approach as an attorney. She genuinely cares about getting you through the divorce quickly and understands that divorce isn't cheap so, doesn't want to drag things on just to make money. Mediation went way better than I could ever have imagined and I got everything I wanted. Her staff is exceptional. Mediation was a month ago for me and my ex's attorney has been very slow submitting the final decree and paperwork with the court. Melissa and Conor have both been emailing me updates and following up with the other attorney consistently to make sure that everything gets done.
They care about their clients and go above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend this Law Firm; they've completely turned around the whole experience for me and been fantastic. I can't say enough good things about them.
I very highly recommend Spencer Ricks @ Just Law Utah. You can't go wrong when you've got great people behind you. And these are great people.
UPDATE: That initial review was written 5 months ago. Unfortunately, this is one those rare instances where a really positive review isn't enough. Nonie, Conor, and Melissa have ALWAYS achieved any expectation I had, and I can have pretty high exceptions, especially with extremely competent professionals. They take the time to explain things to you, willing to answer whatever question you have, no matter how silly or insignificant it is.
At one point during my situation, they told me "not too worry about this", and for the first time in my ENTIRE LIFE, I realized not only was I not worrying, I wasn't even thinking about it, because they were on it. That has never happened before.
For those "value conscious" individuals, numerous times I told this law firm I wasn't paying them enough, and I never thought I would tell a law firm that. You probably can find cheaper, don't know if you can find better, very confident you are not going to get a better value.
The original review states "If you need a law firm, this is the firm you want, end of story." That may be the biggest understatement I ever made.
Conor and Melissa were both very kind listening ears. They were so encouraging. They made my divorce easier for me. I am very grateful to both of them for their service and support during this hard time.
I would recommend Just Law to anyone seeking a divorce. They really did make it as easy as they could for me.
Their paralegal Sharnae left positive character witness statements out of my declaration, I paid money for each and every statement. When I asked her about the missing statements she told me I was rude.
Nonie is NEVER available, no one is EVER in the office on Fridays. An attorneys is supposed to put their clients at ease and all I got was pressure to respond to documents in less than 24 hours. I personally put more into my two cases than this office and they charged me $20,000.00 and I’m still not divorced.
I was not notified court was cancelled, I took work off for it and ended up on the phone being told Nonie couldn’t make it so they re-scheduled it.
The billing is a joke, they charge you what ever they want, your retainer means nothing so don’t for 5 minuets think that’s what you’ll pay. Plan on paying 5 times your retainer and doing all the work!
The only means of communicating for free with these people is email.
All they want to do is drag everything out and continue to go to court to make them more money.
After I responded to another bill Melissa wrote me and email lying for the Nonie, my attorney who continually missed court document deadlines and has for the past year!
I also have personally gone to their office in attempt to retrieve my personal documentation 3 time, and have been unsuccessful because they cannot locate it.
Thanks for nothing!
***update** This is a response to your companies shady review response; Nonie charges $250.00 a phone call, that’s just another way to get money! My review is honest and true and if your company responded to phone calls or emails I would have to call anyone not should I. Nonie should of done the jobs she was paid to complete which she didn’t it’s call SERVICES NOT RENDERED!
You should communicate with your clients and not rip them off and make fun of people who spend $20,000.00 with your company while doing all the work for you!
Your attorney charged me $1,500.00 for a mediation that didn’t happen and showed up in blue stripped leggings and chuck taylors, late, she looked like she just jumped out of the shower with wet hair. Real professional, not! Her and the mediator pretty clearly had plans to go shopping and no plans to finnish my divorce, you ripped me off there again!
If your company took it so seriously you would respond to the Better Business Bureau with something better than its against a contract to speak with them. Nonie didn’t sign the contract and I have email proof! Also if you cared at all your office would return calls, emails and answer court responses in a timely professional manner.
Also Nonie was not should of taken cases when she was so focused on her own wedding didn’t care about anything but her wedding, which I’m sure my fees help fund!
This is Just Laws way of avoiding paying me back for services they did not provide! Your owners can call me you got my number!
Thank You Just Law!
