Horrible attorney

Sage law should not have an attorney Like Charles Ahlstrom. Violates all ethics rules. Constantly lies to clients. Takes things personal and has no principles and clear path when dealing with cases. Also wearing a bow tie to hearings is unprofessional!

Family Law

Negotiating the family court system is something i never wanted to do. I can’t imagine anyone being prepared for such a gut wrenching experience. With that being said Charles Ahlstrom helped me through the process and guided me to put my best foot forward at every step. I would recommend Charles to ...anyone needing a great lawyer to help through such a painful time. Charles was always upfront with me on my position. My situation turned out good and that’s pretty great considering it was divorce and custody case. I was very grateful to have Charles with me through the courts Charles and Kellie make a great team and work together to supply answers and put some of the tension at ease. I sympathize with anyone going through family courts but it’s important to be going in with someone you can trust.

Worst lawyer ever!!

Our case was given to Mr. Ahlstrom when our previous lawyer passed & this turned out to be the biggest mistake of our lives!! He called us 3 days before our court date & asked why we hadn't sent him a response to the documents that he sent us regarding the upcoming court date....we didn't received sa...id documents until after he called us asking why we hadn't responded to them. The stack of documents he sent us (3 days before court) were as thick as an Ogden phone book & then he said that he needed us to write a response to this stack of documents by the next morning so that he could file it with the court in time! My wife sat up until 4am writing our response to said documents & sent our response to Charles. We were then charged several hundred dollars for his paralegal to type our response verbatim what my wife had written!! We ultimately lost custody & thousands of dollars to Mr. Ahlstrom...who literally did nothing he said he was going to do!! Worst experience with a lawyer ever!

It is difficult for me to respond to a case that is nine years old; even then, I am limited in what I can say. If you would like to discuss the matter with me, I would do my best to address your specific concerns and see what, if anything, could be done at this point in time.

Current Client

I am a current client of Charles. My niece is going through a hard time with an adoption overturned. We are lucky to have Charles and Kellie at Sentinell. We are waiting patiently and working towards an outcome that we have faith will be in our favor. We appreciate all their hard work and assistance ...during this time.

Excellent Attorney

I had the privilege of having Charles represent me during my divorce. During one of the most difficult periods of my life, not only did Charles provide excellent legal advice - but he cared for me on a personal level. He helped guide me through every step and was always responsive. Even after my d...ivorce when issues have arisen, Charles continued to give me excellent guidance. I not only consider him an excellent attorney, but a wise friend. If you need an amazing attorney, I can't recommend Charles highly enough. I would recommend Charles and Sentinel Law Group to any family or friend needing legal representation.
