"The worst lawyer I ever had for a case that made no sense and was the result of a vindictive ex girlfriend and a sheriff who was later forced to retire due to his actions and the evidence was plain as day. But when a lawyer doesn’t fight for you… My story is too hard for anyone to believe. I found out the opposing attorney in the case used her office. He was drunk in court and yelling at me, she never objected once. Nickeled and dimed me, I had to show up to court to represent myself one time (actually did better then she would have) because of her schedule and encouragement to do so. Go elsewhere. She lacks experience and years."

"I couldn’t have asked for anything more from her. She really looked out for me and went above and beyond. Very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Coming from outside of Montana addressing a family law case, for someone who had never been here before she was a rockstar and really worked hard, was very supportive since I didn’t know how things worked here. I’m really grateful to have had her on my side. Definitely recommend her to anyone in search of a Family Law Attorney. Thank you Adrienne."

"Just an FYI to anyone. Out of every attorney I have reached out to for various reasons over the yrs, I have never had one request a fee for a consult. They want $125 for a 30 min phone consult. I'm sure they'll have some sort of quippy response to that, but whatever. I'm not paying $125 just to see if they would even take my case. I'll go to a firm that doesn't nickle and dime right off the bat."
