Best Decision I Ever Made!

I hired Lois for a child support modification/alimony dispute with my ex-spouse. Lois was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable when it came to cases like mine. Lois not only took the time to explain the process to me but she also went an extra step and provided me with reading material and d...ifferent articles related to my type of case to help me gain a better understanding of the child support process. Lois was very prompt with her filings and always kept me informed on the progression of my case. Although she being the expert in the field, she always asked how I felt about different decisions that needed to be made and often provided multiple options for me and would explain all possible outcomes before making a decision. I never once had to question whether or not she had my best interest at heart or was she just in it for the money. Choosing to hire Lois was the best decision I could have made. With her help, I was able to come to a settlement agreement with my ex which I am very pleased with. I wish I would have known about her during my divorce proceedings lol. I would most definitely hire Lois Gerstenberger again if needed.

Professional and fair!

I have worked for Mrs. Gerstenberger in the past and handled her billing. In my experience, she is more likely to undercharge and give more freely of her time to clients than she bills for. I have never seen her over bill. I have experience in other law firms also.

Over billed, under defended and cost me more than money

I wish I had listened to the reviews. She over billed me for everything, dragged my ex into court over and over, called her a bad mother and worse. At the time, I let my emotions rule and didn't stop her. She caused irreparable damage to my relationship with my ex. She dragged out , what should have ...been a fairly routine divorce into a 2 year battle royal. The worst of it was, she did a horrible job. She didn't do things that were routine in a divorce case! She preys on clients going through the worst thing in their life, all for billable hours. Whoever these other reviewers are, I promise you they are not real clients. I've met two other former clients who had similar stories. i would have done a better job representing myself rather then let her do it, Don't hire her, she is unethical and has no moral compass.

EFFORTLESS !!!

I hired the services of Atty. Gerstenberger for a divorce in May of 2015. This is really easy to put into words, they made my divorce EFFORTLESS!!! They are professional, they kept me informed, they are SIMPLY the BEST. If you are ever in need of a Family Law Attorney, I recommend the law office of L...ois W. Gerstenberger. Thanks Atty. Gerstenberger and assistant Ms.Graham for a job well done.

Best lawyer!

Lois was great. She started our case immediately and everything went smooth. She kept us updated every second of the way. I'm so glad I chose her for our adoption case!
