This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great salesman, horrible attorney

Having utilized attorneys in the past I’ve dealt with quite a few. He got me with the sales pitch to hire him and I fell for it, but that was the last time I was impressed with Drew. The entire time it felt as if he was just shuffling through the case making it more convenient for himself instead of ...caring for the client. A horrible paralegal could of provided better results in my opinion. After court, not yet finished with “our contract” he’s suddenly disconnected from any further assistance (which he’s been paid to provide). At one point his legal advice was to “Google it”. A complete disappointment and mistake on my part hiring Drew Prisner.

OUTSTANDING Legal Counsel

Unfortunately, our family has had to utilize the services of Attorney Prisner in two separate situations. Fortunately, for us we received outstanding legal counsel in each matter. Attorney Drew Prisner is a very personable, professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable lawyer. He listened intently, as...ked relative questions and demonstrated his concern by his undivided attention. He was punctual and dependable regarding appointments and court appearances. Additionally, Attorney Prisner is very knowledgeable about law, thereby providing us much needed legal counsel. We are thankful and appreciative for his assistance. We highly recommend him!!!

Wonderful Lawyer

Mr. Prisner was a wonderful lawyer, very professional, kind and positive. He worked my son's case trying to get the best deal possible, and he did. He gave us the pros and the cons, and we were clear of the possible outcomes. He always returned my calls every time I had a question.
