A Thank you & Review is a drop in the bucket to my debt of gratitude!

She is the most detailed and caring attorney! She goes in all heart, energy and spirit without hesitation to time or day! She does not tell you what you want to hear but truth and puts everything she can into a case. She gave me her personal cell to have for holidays, weekends and after hours when my... ex felt more empowered to try things. I value her time and she values mine by responding quickly and efficiently even to verify my understanding of court documents! Her knowledge and caring are off the charts and she is worth her fees in gold! In my opinion there is no other attorney I would want representing myself, family or friends!

Great family law attorney.

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

Best Resolutions Happen In Capable Hands

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 S...tange 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.

review

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 wa...s 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.
