Legal Help When We Needed It!

Our working relationship with Mr. Seigler spanned over 4 years. It was not associated with criminal defense, but with civil problems regarding an easement. Mr. Seigler was contacted & hired after another local lawyer was paid to get resolution to the problem, but failed to take timely action. Mr. Se...igler worked diligently in a timely fashion to attain success for us in this difficult, drawn-out case. We highly recommend Mr. Seigler!

Darrell Keith Seigler attorney for Edward Day Hatcher and Valerie Hoffman-Hatcher dispute with neighbor who removed line fence

We met with Attorney Seigler to explain what had happened to the line fence. During the course of resolving issue of the removal of the fence without our knowledge we brought family records and expenses regarding the dispute. The pros and cons of the issue were presented to us by Attorney Seigler.... He presented the evidence and his pending correspondence to us prior to presenting our side of the issue.

honest, trustworthy,knowledgeable,capable

A few years ago, I faced a complicated business situation. I asked a local attorney if he would be interested in assisting me. He said the case was beyond his realm. He said the person he would recommend would be Darrell Seigler of Ottawa. Darrell did a great job in a difficult case. He faced 4 or 5... legal teams and produced excellent results for the complexity of the case. There were no surprises. He kept me informed throughout. He kept costs reasonable. I have used his services on several other occasions. At times, I have just used him for advice. I recommend him highly
