I hired Tiff over 10 years ago and would recommend her. She is sharp. She knows what issues to argue and what issues to settle. She will give you a straight forward response and not run your bill.
Ms. Wolter handled our family law case with tremendous professionalism. She was knowledgeable, prompt, and very responsive to our needs. Not being attorneys, we were unsure of how to proceed with our issues, who to trust, and how long it would take. Of course, finances were also an issue. Ms. Wolter treated us with respect and kindness.
One can feel like they are caught in a maze when trying to sort out legal issues and when dealing with the court. Ms. Wolter smoothed our way for us and left us feeling well taken care of. To her, we were not a number or anonymous people. We were individuals with a problem that she promptly solved.
I would hire Ms. Wolter in a second if I ever needed her services again.
My practice includes, divorce, custody, paternity, child support, third party custody (grandparents other relatives), adoption, spousal maintenance, and property divisions. I am also a mediator, and practice collaborative law.
My practice is focused on helping my clients through the difficult and emotionally charged matters that encompass family law. I strive to provide my clients with many services and many different choices for resolving their cases. While I am an experienced trial attorney, I also have the ability to settle cases without going to court. I am trained in collaborative law and I am a mediator. I welcome the opportunity to speak with clients and determine what process will work the best for their particular situation.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Tiffane was great
I hired Tifanne for a child support case and was extremely satisfied with her knowledge, attention to detail, and communication skills. I was so much less nervous after working with her and was very, very happy with the outcome of my case. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

A Stellar Choice When it Comes to Handling Family Matters.
Tifanne did a wonderful job in handling my case. There are three qualities that I ask for in a quality attorney… affordable, trustworthy, and punctual. Tifanne packs them all. Even when having to switch firms in the middle of my case, everything went smoothly and was handled with much professionalism and competence. The end result of my case turned out more in my favor than originally anticipated. I was surprised and impressed with the conclusion to say the least.
Would I recommend her to anybody else in a similar situation? I already have as I know she will not disappoint.
I could not have asked for a better attorney.

Excellent representation. I would retain her services again in a heartbeat.
I retained Tifanne Wolters services recently for a custody modification dispute with my ex-wife, she was very professional, did not waste anyones time and knew the laws involved exceptionally well. I was a nervous wreck in the beginning and Tifanne did a great job on soothing my nerves and my familys nerves about everything. We did get the outcome we had hoped for and If I had to do it all over again, this lawyer would be my first point of contact for the reasons stated and beyond....no questions asked. Thank you again for everything Tifanne!

Thorough and trustworthy
Tifanne was introduced to my post decree custody case after several hundred pages of affidavits had been submitted to court. Opposing counsel was organized and had endless money to fight me. I had a horrible experience with lawyers prior to finding Tifanne. She took care of everything learning the case in one month. She researched case law and ultimately made opposing counsel look silly. She knows family law and all of it's intricacies very well. When you hire Tifanne you can stop worrying!

Extremely satisfied
Tifanne has been my attorney for a year and a half and has helped out with multiple post-divorce related issues, including a matter that went to trial a couple months ago. Tifanne's expertise was invaluable and her dilligence and attention to detail are impressive. I was extremely satisfied with Tifanne's performance and with the outcome every time I needed her help. The opposing attorneys both looked incompetent in comparison.

Awesome Job!
Tifanne is my Lawer and has been for the past yr and a half. Even though we settled the matter out of court she was very helpful in mediation. She is always willing to go the extra mile. Thanks Tifanne!

Your Time and Effort Was Very Much Appreciated
Tifanne helped me in my Divorce proceedings. I was always able to reach Tifanne and she alway seemed to have the information that helped me understand what was going to happen next. I have delt wth a few lawyers in the past but I have never felt they did much to be recommended. I feel very strongly about her ability to help anyone in need, but she seemed very helpful to me as a father trying to be treated fairly in the system.

Great job and thanks!
Tifanne helped me win full lcustody of my three kids. This included a (Emergency ex parta motion) Im not sure I spelled that correct. The motion was to give me temp full legal rights so I could put my 15 year old son in treatment. She won that for us and in time helped make it pemiment. I was always able to reach Tifanne and she alway seemed to have the information that helped me understand what was going to happen next. I have delt wth a few family lawyers in the past but I have never felt they did much to be recommended. I feel very strongly about her ability to help Fathers or anyone in need.

Unhappy - Didn't get what we thought we paid for
We hired this attorney because the law firm advertised they fought for fathers rights on child support. We feel we did not get what we paid for or what we asked her for. That is our opinion. We paid for the service to produce documents from the Plaintiff, but we never received them. She did not get them. Make sure if you hire her that you get what you want in writing. We feel we could have done the same thing she did with better results. Even the child support calculator shows less per month than we pay. (only a few dollars-but it is less) After we questioned her about the forms we did not receive, she withdrew as our counsel..

WOULD NOT USE AGAIN!
My husband and I hired Tifanne even at the double expense of another lawyer hoping that this would be a "you get what you pay for" experience. We had to call Tifanne the last day before court papers were to be filed to find out what she had put together. I would expect that a lawyer you pay $250/hr would have contacted us. No contact was made after the court except to email the judge's findings. We had to have the court documents redone several times even though we were very specific on what we wanted (yes we had to pay each time). I finally wrote in what we wanted, fixed the typos from the paperwork she sent, and emailed the paperwork back. Tifanne forgot our name in court TWICE, and was completely unprepared in court. The main reason for court was to be able to have the children fly unaccompanied minor. Tifanne could not explain to the judge what unaccompanied minor meant even though this was the main reason for the court date. We had spoken with Tifanne SEVERAL times about the unaccompanied minor previous to court. I would never suggest this lawyer, and I will never use her again.

Response from Tifanne WolterOctober 15, 2013
With all due respect to the above reviewer, I must clarify that the writer of this review was not my actual client. Rather, the reviewer is someone related to the client. As I am bound by attorney client privilege and value my client's privacy, I cannot ethically disclose the facts concerning this case that would refute the false information and inaccuracies contained within this review. I will say that following the particular court hearing discussed above, the Sheriffs deputy in the courtroom pulled me aside, for the express purpose of complimenting me on my legal knowledge and debating skills.
If any client is unhappy with any aspect of my representation, I would ask that they contact me to discuss the situation. I am always willing to listen to and appreciate criticism so that I can continue to be considered an attorney who exceeds client's expectations and offers valuable services.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I would definitely recommend Ms. Wolter for family law matters such as divorce, parenting time and child support. Ms. Wolter was opposing counsel on a difficult parenting time dispute. Our respective clients were not speaking to one another, except for exchanging accusations of past wrongs Ms. Wolter took the time to meet with me and understand where my client was coming from in terms of her concerns and also helped me understand her client's concerns. I was impressed by her willingness to get to the heart of the issues and, rather than just joining with our client's in hurling bitter statements back and forth, really think about and discuss possible solutions to the problem. We ended up in negotiations after the court hearing and came to a resolution so that we didn't have to wait for the court's decision."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Tifanne and I were co-workers at St. Cloud Area Legal Services. Tifanne is a hardworking attorney who really cares about her clients. She does collaborative law in addition to regular family law work."
