Jillian Alejandra Wood

Thanks Jillian Wood for the hard work and dedication taken on my recent modification of custody case. Everyone at Stange Law was professional and committed to treating me as an individual, not just another client! My daughter and I both thank you for everything!!

Until I found Stange Law, my limited, prior experience with legal firms did not inspire trust. Instead, I felt more anxious and alone in unknown territory. In fact, one past encounter left me with a mess that took years to unravel. That's when research and word of mouth led me to Jillian Wood of Stange Law Firm. After a free consult with a member of the Stange team of lawyers, I understood their rating as a top St. Louis law firm in ALIVE Magazine was earned and deserved. Jillian consistently reaffirmed my trust by managing my ongoing questions and concerns with due diligence in quick responses and timely updates that kept me in the loop. The anxiety I felt that my case was going to be complicated and require a lengthy resolution to a positive conclusion was a false assumption with Jill on my side. On my limited budget, the knowledgeable efficiency of the Stange team moved and made things happen quickly. My case was resolved as I'd hoped and Stange even refunded a portion of my original, reasonable fee. Jillian Wood restored my faith in the legal system. My experience with Stange was, hands down, a win/win.

Stange Law was not the first Law Firm I called. I had met with two other Attorney's both who advised me to sit back and wait. It just didn't feel right! I called and made an appointment with Stange Law. My luck changed that day. Jillian Wood was agressive and ready to fight for my rights. I knew she was the right Atterney for the family issues facing me. Jillian has countionued to help me fight for the right to be a father to my son. My battle has been long, but I have never felt alone. Jillian has always been there every step of the way. I truly can't thank Jillian Wood enough for all her hard work.

Jillian is a very good attorney who is very caring and a good listener. If one avenue doesn't work she usually has another one and is very passionate.

Ms. Wood handled my case in a very professional and timely manner. Very direct and forthcoming with answers to all my questions.

Ms. Wood toke my case, guaranteed a win then passed my case onto a jr. lawyer who had no business representing anyone. I understan d esquires can't promise victory but a reasonable expectation of professionalism was expected. Less than three workng days before a hearing ms. Woods said her schedule was full " and could she have a Jr. partner represent me knowing I was an out of town client and was out of time as well. She promised to brief her Jr. lawyer and did not. When i went to the office to cancel all future services ( after I lost my hearing with the Stange firm) she would not raise her eyes from the floor as she walked by me from her conference room to her office., Total shame and lack of professionalism. There is a reason why she was outposted to the excile office of this firm. She talked a strong and strategic game but when it came down to it whe as all bull and no substance.

I would not recomend her she did not inform me i was being charged for signing the agreement $225.00 until after i fired the other attorney had i been told in the begining i woul have walked out. I would not recomend Stage Law Firm.

Expensive (they charge you when they leave you a voicemail and then charge you when you call them back, etc.), this lawfirm switched my lawyers (they fired my first one and gave me Jillian) then I was charged money to get her up to speed on my case (which had already been going on for a year, it took almost two years total). After all was said and done, I had spent over $10,000 to get custody of my child (which I did by just talking to my ex and, being that he was in "legal trouble" at the time, he just agreed to sign the papers if he would get temporary custody visitation). Now, since they were paid and the case ended, I didn't recieve ANY final paperwork and no one has responded to my emails about how to get these documents or any money owed to me from my ex. I could have hired any lawyer to get what I got sadly, they did not investigate my case or look into my exes financials to get me some child support that could ACTUALLY support a child. I spent all that money just to come to an aggreement with my ex in the end. It was a complete waste of my time, a lot of aggravation and a HUGE waste of money. I could have spent that money on my child since I don't receive hardly anything from my ex and I pay for my childs health insurance, etc. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer or law firm to anyone. My family goes to a great lawyer in Clayton now who actually cares, remember's who I am and doesn't charge me for every little thing. I should have done more research before picking this lawfirm just because they had a site that made you feel like they could do more than any other attorney.
