Had the pleasure of working with Justin Smith on a personal matter and he was very friendly and professional. He exceeded my expectations in timeliness and effectiveness. I highly recommend giving him a call for anything you may encounter!

If you need a lawyer, get ahold of Attorney Justin Smith! I walked into the office, in over my head with my divorce and custody case and I had no idea what I should be doing or what my rights were. Justin sat down with me, helped me navigate what was going on and we quickly came up with a plan to move forward. I've heard horror stories from friends and family about issues they've had with lawyers in similar situations, but Justin was always quick to respond to any questions and extremely knowledgeable on everything I asked him.

He is an absolute Jedi in the courtroom and is awesome at reading and approaching situations both in and out of court. Because of Justin, I have more time with my kiddos, and I am truly in a better place. I couldn't recommend him enough.

My hat is off to attorney's Hackwelder and Sullivan. I had a very serious case and they did an outstanding job. Very seasoned and very compassionate attorney's. They worked diligently on my case and fought every bit of the way. They are very good at helping you prepare and anything that goes with it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH of these attorneys. I would fly from California to hire this firm. They sure live up to there reputation being classified as SUPER Lawyer's. Thank you Doug and Eric for all you very hard work!

Steve and his team are top notch. They helped me navigate my situation with confidence. I always felt like I knew what to expect and I would have had a much different outcome without their experience and expertise. Highly recommend.

Attorney Sullivan was excellent! He always makes himself available to answer any questions regarding my situation. Mr. Sullivan represented me with dignity and professionalism. He always seems to have the bigger picture in mind. Even when the other side takes the low road, he is many steps ahead. I would absolutely refer him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Had a great outcome at my court date for DUI with attorney Steven Seabald. Was able to work a deal to keep me home with my family and stay working. Don't think I could've got a better outcome. Thank You!

Hiring Mr. Sebald was one of the best decisions I've ever made. He helped me out a lot and really kept my mind at ease during this whole process. My case was resolved with the best possible outcome and I would recommend Mr. Sebald to anyone who is innocent and needs someone to have there back. Trying to fight charges alone is not a good idea and hiring the right Attorney is critical. Mr. Sebald is the right Attorney. Highly recommended.

Tyler Lindquist is hands down the most professional, responsive, hard working attorney I have ever met. Our child custody case was anything but straight forward, and Tyler handled it with grace, and compassion. Emails were returned within hours even on weekends and holidays. Phone calls were promptly answered, and always with a friendly demeanor. We were able to accomplish everything we wanted in our custody trial, and more thanks to his expertise. I could not recommend him more!

I highly recommend this law firm. Steve and Eric are definitely the lawyers you want in your corner. They will work hard for you to achieve the best outcome. Steve and Valerie were only a phone call away if I had a question or needed clarification. Everyone I had contact with at this firm were always professional and courteous. I was treated like a person and not another case.
