  I'm sure they consider themselves legends of the academia of Law in their respective field. So with that? You can take the risk of giving the try to trial or error. Ultimately, law is not easy, therefore it's not cheap. But given the advice of a friend vs an academic on a stricter demand of contractual obligations to juggle for clients, how much resources you'll have or are willing to.commit to legal sinkholes is always a gamble. They did what they were contracted. But they also saved their own rears but not mine.

  Misleading and not professional. Do not hire. My right toe would be better counsel.

  GO ELSEWHERE!!! We came to them during an incredibly vulnerable time, with urgent legal needs involving both guardianship and divorce. They sold us on being a full-service firm that could handle everything under one roof. In reality, they delivered missed deadlines, poor communication, inflated billing, and a total lack of follow-through. The difference between what was promised and what was delivered was staggering. Throughout the entire engagement, our emails went unanswered, deadlines passed without action, and we were charged premium rates for what amounted to disorganization, excuses, and empty responses. Instead of thoughtful strategy or leadership, we got vague reassurances and a mountain of invoices. Even after trying to escalate our concerns directly to Steven Messick, we were met with defensiveness, not accountability. No acknowledgment of error. No willingness to make things right. Just more stonewalling and more charges. We ultimately had to terminate the relationship and hire a new firm—who made more progress in two weeks than Messick did in three months. If you're navigating something serious—especially involving a vulnerable adult—do not take the risk. This firm over-promises and under-delivers, and when you speak up, they treat you like you’re the problem. There are plenty of firms out there that actually care about their clients. Messick Law is not one of them.

  Beware of Messick Law! We hired Messick Law to handle a divorce for my uncle, a vulnerable adult with cancer and cognitive decline, who was being financially exploited by his spouse. What followed was months of incompetence, negligence, and billing abuse. Despite paying over $6,400, the attorney assigned to the case missed court deadlines, made basic factual errors in filings, refused to communicate with us, and delivered no strategic plan or progress whatsoever. Emails went unanswered for weeks. Evidence of forgery and financial abuse was ignored. They repeatedly dismissed our urgent concerns with vague excuses like “divorces take time”—while billing $350/hour to tell us nothing was being done. They also billed us for a “no-cost” call, charged attorney rates for clerical tasks, and padded invoices with unnecessary, unproductive communication. When we escalated to the firm’s owner, Steven Messick, he refused to take any responsibility and declined to even consider a refund. After three wasted months, we had no choice but to fire them and hire new counsel—who accomplished more in two weeks than Messick did in three months. Do not trust this firm if you’re in a serious legal situation. They misrepresented their capabilities, failed to protect a vulnerable client, and prioritized billing over advocacy. Messick Law caused enormous emotional stress, financial waste, and unnecessary delays during one of the hardest moments of our lives.
