Jonathan Kibler represented my daughter in a very sensitive matter, and did an amazing job. He made sure to explain the process to myself and my child and went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was comfortable, both while being interviewed in his office and while attending court. He always made time to answer our questions and did everything he could to help us. The staff and other attorneys I interacted with were also very helpful and professional, even though they were clearly very busy. I highly recommend this firm!

The worst experience we have ever had! The interaction with attorney Jonathan Kibler was surreal. He expects his potential clients to know he's calling and pick up even without giving out his number or leaving a voicemail. Altough a few staff members were polite, one in particular lectured that when the attorney calls, you need to answer, save the contact, and it's your fault if you miss the call because the attorney doesn't have time for voicemails. After the scolding she apparently told the attorney WE were rude because the attorney, himself, made an exeception and left a voicemail lecturing

I went through a living hell for over two years of my life. Charles and Mike were able to see me through a very dark time and get me out the other side with my freedom. When you have virtually everything taken from you and are against the legal might of a states attorney for something you did not commit, you want these folks on your side. They made a dozen trips to a remote jurisdiction because of the severity of this case. The believed in me and I in them and we were able to prevail. I think that says about everything. I owe them an eternal debt of gratitude.

Going into a divorce I was told this was a great law firm to have your back. I went through a divorce. My deadlines were always late. The judge gave me repercussions because of said tardiness. I told my attorney I lost my job. Wouldnt be able to pay anymore and if you wanted to withdrawal do so. He stayed on the case. I sent many emails, pictures, and documents that they are withholding. I never even received a verdict on my divorce. Nor was I contacted. I, to this day, have not received any documents. At first my attorney said he was satisfied with all amounts paid but, since I was not satisfied

Charles McGuire helped me with an Order of protection.
He was professional, supportive, knowledgeable, and fought for me every minute of my case.
I will be retaining his services and the services of his firm for any future legal issues.

John Clemons and the SILC represented me on a legal matter and at my very first meeting with John, I found John to be sincere, personable and a very experienced attorney. John took the time to explain the process to me on the front end, what my options were and expectations going forward. John was accessible and he followed-up with me every step of the way. John ultimately obtained the outcome that I had hoped for. I am extremely pleased with John and his law firm. I highly recommend John Clemons and SILC.
