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!

Not Experienced Enough.....

I hired Mr. Landerholm to represent me in a child custody case. My initial meeting with him was very positive, but it quickly became apparent that Mr. Landerholm likes to play mediator more than that of representing his clients as a lawyer. When after a month of not accomplishing anything (other than... a bill for each and every minute of his telephone conversations with the other attorney and emails that led nowhere), I came to the conclusion that I needed a lawyer with more experience, more strategy, and less costly conversation. Once I switched attorneys, my situation was resolved in our favor within two weeks, and we actually settled out of court. My costs with the second (very experienced) lawyer were one third the cost of Mr. Landerholm, and my lawyer actually got something done in the process. Hopefully, with more experience, Mr. Landerholm with become more efficient and more affordable.

Unfortunately, this review was posted a year after I handled the case, and so there was little I could do to eradicate any problems you encountered with us. What i can tell you is that while I do prize mediation as a beneficial path in family law, it looks like you and I may not have been on the same page. My sincerest apologies on my lack of communication skills with you, both to what we were doing and to make sure you were aligned with that. Since then we have not encountered this problem and now use strategic case planning from your first meeting. I wanted you to know we have taken your comments to heart and made changes. I am glad you achieved a favorable result.

Review

You meet with the lead attorney and get passed to a junior partner. They spent down a $4500 retainer in less than 7 days and still hadn't filed required paperwork although everything needed was provided during the initial meeting. It's now the 11th hour and now we're being told the required pa...perwork won't be filed unless we double the retainer before the day's end but wait, there's more; This matter was about protecting the safety and well being of a child. I ended the relationship. Next morning handed new counsel same materials. Everything was wrapped up in our favor (child safe) less than 48 hours later. Short version: After needless drama, abuse, and expense, a competitor handled everything in 80% less time for 30% of the original retainer paid to Landerholm.

First let me say that I am happy that your child is safe and secure. Because children are so important to us here, I am disturbed by your experience. One of the things that I explain in the initial consultation is that you as the client will be working with one of my attorneys and that should you have any problems, to reach out to me so that I can make sure things are working as they should and that you feel you have the right attorney. I know that in your case we did a considerable amount of work, but I also understand that your goals are of paramount importance. I would love the opportunity to speak with you about the specific points that didn't work for you, so that I can improve moving forward. While it is rare for us to have any kind of problem with our clients, I want to always pay attention when a client is upset and see if I can turn things around. Thank you for your honesty, and I encourage you to reach out and give me a call at 503-227-0200.

Outstanding Attorney!

I can't thank Lewis enough. He has been such a fantastic attorney. From the very beginning he was very straightforward and honest and was very upfront in letting me know what to expect. I'm so glad that I was able to hire him to fight for the custody of my children. I would have been completely l...ost without his help and my kids would not have ended up with me as primary parent without all of his hard work. His firm was so professional in how they handled everything and they were always available when I needed to talk or was stressed about our trial. Thank you so much for all the hard work. I would tell everyone to hire you.

I"m terribly late in responding to this, but I just wanted to say thank you and that you were a pleasure to have as a client. Just know I am always here should you need me ever again. I wish you all the best.

Lewis Landerholm is an intelligent, compassionate, and a ethical attorney who I highly recommend.

Mr. Lewis Landerholm is an intelligent, compassionate, and an ethical attorney. Lewis quickly took action on my behalf in what has proven itself to be a highly complicated and extremely distressing case. His representation of me and his ability to prevail in court is incredible. He is a man of hon...orable character, integrity, professionalism, and is full of knowledge. When I hired Lewis, I not only hired one extremely wonderful person; I hired a stellar team. Along with Lewis, attorney Joanna Posey, Shelly, and Josh have been working tirelessly to pull all the pieces together, which is something that has far outweighed my expectations. Since 2011 Lewis and his team have represented me in family law; divorce, child custody, domestic violence and adoption. I will be forever grateful for what Lewis and his team have done to protect the safety and best interests of my daughter and I! I would highly recommend Lewis and Landerholm Law without hesitation!
