  Jennifer Forquer has been fantastic in helping me through all aspects of my case for the past several years. She's strategic, organized, thoughtful, responsive, and knows me and my situation thoroughly. She provides well considered advice about possible outcomes and helps me make good decisions.

  A year since my divorce was finalized and every day I thank heavens for Krista Stipe’s representation While out of the country with my children, my husband of 24 years packed up and finalized his strategically planned “escape.” I was served on 12/31/2018 and was connected with Krista Stipe that day! Not only was she professional and a great listener, but kind and patient as the worst time in my life unfolded. I was dealing with deceit and intimidation and my daughters were struggling. Krista guided me through the entire divorce process while advocating and protecting me against my ex-husband and his various attorneys which were regularly hired and fired. Krista always kept me up to date on the status and informed me of fees due to opposing counsel’s need to be briefed and when dealing with their client’s demands and delays. The challenges were excruciating, but Krista reminded me that when this was over, I would know we handled this ethically and my daughters would be proud. She was absolutely correct! In addition, due to Krista’s experience, she knew I could not depend on my ex-husband for maintenance, insurance, etc. After the second mediation, Krista’s negotiation skills set me up to walk away and create a new life filled with happiness, confidence and my head held high. If you want to be represented by an amazing lawyer that possesses superior intelligence, strong analytical and advocacy skills, and CAN and DOES communicate effectively, you need Krista!

  nothing but garbage and lies. I own a company that assists young and old. This company wants your money and will get it. My ex paid 250,000 according to them and that was five years ago. I'm guessing it has doubled. When a law firm wants to use lesbianism and liberal lies to defeat their opponent . Sooner or later the lies catch up. I've witnessed this organization lie after lie.

  Susan Shulenberger - Much more than an attorney - she was fantastic through the toughest event in my life. Susan and I met quite a while ago. And while that hints at the arduous process my divorce became, she was there, helping me understand, guiding me through the legal process, but also bringing experience to bear in relationships and breakups. Its a tough time regardless, particularly when the behavior of your former spouse is hard to interpret. Susan was there. Constant consideration not just of the divorce, but of future ongoing relationships, what it take to get this behind you, but not at the cost of your dignity, fatherhood, or an untenable financial situation. Susan is always thinking a few steps ahead. When nothing seems to make sense in an ambiguous and emotionally driven world, Susan provides clarity, reason, and calm. Oh and she is sharp as hell on settlements and getting a deal that works. Works for both parties, I should say. We had a great rapport from the beginning, she was a friend and confidant beyond my attorney. She showed passion, was conscientious of what I was going through, and patient. We ended up in court because we wanted to, given the circumstances dealt. I regret none of it, even if I never anticipated that. Krista Stipe - went above and beyond, believed in me, and was dedicated and passionate Krista came on board my team as we learned that trial was going to be needed in my case. A prospect I wanted to avoid, but was necessary. From day one, she showed how her experience in trial preparation was a strength for her. In a time of doubt for me, she conveyed confidence, had absorbed the merits and details of my case quickly, and laid out a strategy that was a great balance of advising and collaborating. There is an art to this, I've learned, a balance of guiding and listening, and Krista is able to strike that balance with ease. But what needs to be emphasized, beyond all the guidance Krista provided to me throughout was her dedication, her passion, and and her belief in my case. Seeing Krista in action in court, quickly assessing the situation, making the right decisions, being so prepared to accommodate changes to the flow of the case, incorporate new information, ready to adapt; truly amazing. She put in the work, and poured more than that into it. I couldn't not have been more proud of her preparation and her passion as the case came to a close. It was awe-inspiring, and made me so grateful to have her on my team. The outcome was better than I hoped for. I received more than I asked, and I could not be happier. We went through the process. Susan and Krista did things the right way. I never felt ill prepared nor did I worry that what actions opposing counsel might pursue, because we were organized and thoughtful every step. They were both tremendous. I would recommend them both to anyone
