We will be filing an ethics complaint with the state bar

As with every other one star review floating around they sound amazing and burn through your retainer immediately without being able to articulate that anything was actually done aside from discussing the case with every partner in the firm. We spent over 2000$ with this firm before dumping them afte...r two months of being told it’s a complicated case that we had to discuss with other members of the firm. Trouble is the complicated portion of the case resolved it a week after we hired them because they missed all of their deadlines. From that point on it was a cut and dry case that they still continued to bilk us for. Their billing is horrible a third of our charges were from double billing another 3rd were for “consultations” with other members of the firm we never discussed or approved of and the final third were charging us for calling to question why they missed another deadline. They literally billed us for calling upset because they missed a filing deadline and we wanted to know why.

Positive experience with child custody case

Meeting with Lewis Landerholm was a positive experience. I've been in a child custody dispute for the last seven years, and Lewis provided helpful insight from a legal perspective that has not been provided by any other attorney. I knew exactly what to expect when I entered courtroom, with no blinds...ides. Good job.

Excellent Caring Lawyer

This review is way late (years) but I was just reminded of how thankful I am in my situation because of what Lewis was able to do for me. I was in a terrible spot and now I'm glad to say my life has turned around and I remember during dark times Lewis helped me see this light. I would highly, highly..., highly recommend Lewis.

Family Attorney that cares!

Ous council was negligent in assisting me with proper instruction and agreed to everything the opposing council suggested without a fight. I have suffered through 5 years without proper time with my son and child support payments which I have been told are almost triple the average amount. Landerho...lm law is correcting that and making my life a lot easier. Now I get to go camping with my boy and get to enjoy our remaining years. Hire Landerholm if you want results and/or tired of dealing with shady attorneys. They are a family firm that truly helps families!
