Divorce agreement

I was in need of professional help to guide me through a divorce situation. I found this office through a quick Google search and was very fortunate to be contacted by Brent Olson. From the first phone call Brent put me at ease. He was always available to answer emails and phone calls. During this ve...ry difficult and emotional time, Brent worked very hard and I am able to start over without the stress of financial pressure. He really listened and I am more than pleased with the outcome. I never imagined myself in this situation and I am grateful for the guidance that Brent provided.

legal representation

I hired Brent to represent me regarding a couple of legal matters that arose following a divorce. Brent was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, he was also very helpful at keeping me on task so as to use my retainer fee appropriately. Brent helped me get through an extremely emotiona...l matter, always presenting me with an honest and clear picture of all the possible outcomes in each of my legal matters, doing so in a validating and kind manner. Brent was highly recommended and I can see why. I would not hesitiate to retain him again and would also highly recommend him to any of my close friends and family. Thank you again Brent for everything you did, you truly went above and beyond as far as I am concerned!

Divorce, parenting time stipulation, and child support adjustments

Brent is a fantastic lawyer I have reached out him on 3 separate occasions, for my divorce, parenting time adjustments (I was deployed while getting divorced) and subsequent child support adjustments based on income changes. I highly recommend Brent to any of my friends that are facing potential lega...l issues or family law issues. He is timely in his responses and looks to solve issues quickly and rationally.

Strongly recommend Brent Olson

I hired Brent Olson through a referral through another attorney. My thoughts on Brent are that he is very thorough, keen, and structured in his law practice. During the duration I don’t think I ever waited more than an hr for a reply back from him, unless he was in trial for another case. He always h...ad very valuable insight and sapient advice for me with whatever we were consulting about. The end result he fought and got me a better deal than I ever anticipated was possible. He was even very kind to work with me on his fees because of Covid. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney.
