Move on, there's better lawyers out there!!

My fiance and I hired Bansmer to be our lawyer for my divorce. She was never "available" when you needed to get information about your case or where it was at. Then she made it almost impossible for the case to move forward even though my ex and I had come together and came up with an agreement on ou...r own. She was never in a hurry to submit paperwork. She almost NEVER did any of the paperwork, 95% of the time it was left up to the legal assistant. The legal assistant would submit paperwork without proper signatures from either myself or from the lawyer herself. I was consistently getting calls from the ex's lawyer telling me that something was done wrong or not enough paperwork was submitted. I would call and the assistant would tell me that Bansmer would contact me after being in court or doing other things. I wouldn't hear back from her for a week or two. I would then have to call her back again; to find out that she was out of the office again. I heard more,feedback from my exs lawyer then her, seems that know one knows what their doing no communication going on she submitted forms that we didn't agree too...please buyer beware..

Jamie has been a client with my office since March of 2017. She came to me from another attorney’s office, as she was dissatisfied with the service. From that moment, we spent countless hours attempting to please her. Myself and my staff communicated with her after hours and on weekends, as we do with all our clients, to help her achieve the most positive and successful outcome. She would complain about the one thing we had not yet done, instead of being thankful for the hundreds of things we had already done for her. We were always met with threats of negative reviews online, no matter how hard we tried. As of yesterday, we put up our hands and waived our white flags, knowing full well that the lashing out and false accusations would occur. We realized that it was not what we did or did not do, it was not her divorce, or her ex-husband, or the custody or the Court. It was the lack of peace within. I hope you find true happiness Jamie. Best of luck.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
