No stars. I wish I they had negative stars!!!

He is a fraud. Worst lawyer ever! Rude, nasty and unprofessional!!! He will not represent you as he says he will. Save your time and money and find a good attorney!

Happy new beginning

I was in shock and in a bad place financially and emotionally as I entered a new divorce, and Mr Palmquist was recommended to me from a friend, as I was told that he would fight for me and be my advocate. Needless to say, Jim came through plus some. He was attentive to my wants, reminded me of my n...eeds, and with his help we were able to position ourselves into an upper hand for a beautiful settlement that fell heavily in my favor. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome or a more phenomenal attorney. When he is busy , Rebecca, his co-council, was always available to ensure that I was taken care of. His staff is efficient and never missed a call I made, and they were friendly and aware of my constant "millennium generation" mentality of impatience . They never showed annoyance or complained, even on my bad days. Jim would come in for me on weekends and evenings. He would text me to check on me, and remind me that I was in good hands. He and his team had my back. I felt strong walking into court with Jim by my side. Especially if you are in Medina court, you would be exceptionally wise to use Palmquist law. He is what a laywer should be, and sets the bar for all other attorneys in the area. I was positioned in a way where my X had a financial gain due to his income and my lack thereof, however despite he and his legal teams attempts, no one messed with me because they were in turn messing with Jim. It goes to show that money is meaningless unless your attorney knows what he is doing. I owe him my sanity. Jim and his team were the only support I had in Medina, and that was all I needed. Highly Highly recommended any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Burn and Churn

During the initial consultant, he seemed like a fair attorney. I only wanted what was fair in my divorce. It sounded like he would be able to do that. More than $20,000 dollars later, I ended up owing more than what I make in Child Support and Alimony. Less than a 1/4 of the martial assets. He requ...ested no information from my ex-wife in regards to her income. He sent lots of correspondences to her atty and filed motions with the court only for billable hours and did nothing on my behalf. If you have a ton of extra money laying around and want to throw it away, and get nothing in return, he would be a good attorney to hire.
