A Law Group that genuinely cared!

I have had the good fortune of having Sentinel Law Group (specifically Charles Ahlstrom) represent me and my family twice in my lifetime. A member of my family unfortunately found themselves in trouble with the law and we were at loss of what to do or where to turn for help. We were most fortunate ...that we were directed to Charles and his team. He was effective, relentless and extremely caring in representing us in our time of need. Unlike some attorneys that I have dealt with in the past, his first priority was my child’s welfare and future and not his fee! Money was not his priority. Solving our legal problem was his only concern! His price was fair and reasonable but not his main motivation. Helping us was his only concern! He truly cared about US and not his pocketbook! We are most grateful for all that he has done for us with his personal concern and guidance! He has become more than our attorney! Charles is our friend! That is why when we decided to hire an estate planner, it was an easy decision! Charles Ahlstrom and Sentinel Law Group! They are the best!

Brilliant

Charles has helped me on many things from estate planning, problems with the law and business protection and deals. He is knowledgeable on many areas more so than any other I have seen. He has clearly put in the time to understand the law and doesn’t miss anything. He is quick at making the right dec...ision. He is brilliant at his career. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help from an attorney.

awful experiance

Was horrible. Impossible to get a hold of. Did no research for our case. Did not get things for court that were asked for so we could see them and be prepared. Over billed incorrectly for way more than the work he actually did. Didn't even have correct information in his arguments. Sat at the desk wi...th his head down most of the time and didn't seem to care. If he did things in a good time frame and knew what he was doing we might have had a different outcome. Instead he billed for thousands of dollars and didn't really do anything with no difference in outcome even with a great case.

not so great

Made me spent thousands of dollars, over a year. Kept promising things would be in my favor. At the end things stayed the same with my kids. He was pretty LAW smart.

Great Lawyer

I am currently a client of Charles and am very happy with him. I know that if I didnt have a good lawyer on my side with my divorce I was going to be in trouble and felt very comfortable with Charles the very first time I met with him. If you want a trustworthy and caring lawyer on your side Charles ...is the lawyer for you.
