An Actual Attorney

I can't say enough good things about attorney Jared. From the very beginning he made me feel heard, respected, and taken seriously. He explained everything clearly, laid out my options without pressure, and fought for the best possible outcome in my situation. What stood out the most was how much he ...genuinely cared - he always followed up promptly, kept me updated, and NEVER made me feel like just another file on his desk. You can see he truly cares about what he does. His professionalism, dedication and commitment to following up and communicating at any hour made such a stressful situation so much easier to get through. I truly appreciate the time and effort he put in, and I'd recommend him to anyone who needs someone reliable and compassionate in their corner without judgement. If God was undercover on this earth, it would be Jared!

Professional and Assuring

Jared was responsive and made sure I understood the legal process throughout my case. Michael shared best case and worst case scenarios and was successful in achieving best case for me. I felt confident that my case was being handled and that I was being represented by an expert in the field.

Beyond the call

I can not begin to say how Jared saved us. My daughter needing a lawyer and from out of state, we were at a loss. From my first conversation with Jared after finding him through an internet search he was so helpful. It was after hours but he was able to look up the charges and explain to me what ha...d happened. He assured me he would make some calls in the morning to get the details, which he did. To make a long story short, he got her charges reduced with no bail required. He traveled lots of miles to get documents signed and filed with the courts. Got her released picked her up and gave her a ride to her car over 30 miles away and seeing her safely out of town toward home over 600 miles away. He went beyond the call of duty before we even talked about his fee. I am not saying he would or even could do this for everybody but I wish he practiced law in my state of Montana. I felt calm and confident that my daughter was in good hands and was able to sleep until her return a few days later. Thank you, Jared

Excellent representation, provided hope without portraying false hope

I hired Mr. Gietzen immediately after talking with him by phone. He obviously was very familiar with cases similar to mine and knew what to do and how to go about doing it. Mr. Gietzen treated me with respect, spent the necessary time to answer all of my questions and discuss options for my case. As ...the case unfolded, he kept in touch, even after hours, to keep me abreast of developments. My case was resolved favorably, in part due to Mr Gietzen uncovering a failure in due process on the part of law enforcement. I would hire him again to handle any case I may have that falls in his practice's line of business.
