Great Attorney

Mr. Kiebel is a fantastic guy!! He saved me from a 5 year felony. I am just so grateful that he worked so hard to change my life for the better. He told me every thing up front and answered my questions. I will let you know that in my book he is the best!!

Stay far away from this attorney

Hired James for a complicated child custody case in 2019. He filed one exparte order and never followed through on it. Had to beg for communication. James talked a goid game when we could get a hold of him but there was never any follow through. He had excuse after excuse for why nothing got done. Dr...agged this out for two years and then removed himself. Had to hire another attorney to clean up his mess. Said he sent our files on Nov 1st and still haven't gotten them 3+ weeks later. He created a nightmare for our family.

Excellent Attorney!!

James Kiebel was a fantastic attorney! He took my calls and emails right away. Was sympathetic to my issue and very helpful and willing to fight hard for me. I recommend him highly to anybody who needs someone to represent them. Thank you James for working hard on my case! Two thumbs up!!

Steer clear!

I hired James to help with a messy divorce. After 3 months my husband was never served the complaint the summons expired and now I am to look for a new lawyer to help. He didn’t do his job and ignored all text, calls and emails. He was very u professional and I never felt like a priority. Please look... else where For a competent divorce lawyer.
