Knowledgeable and trustworthy

I saw Mr. Overlund about 4 times over a period of 3 years. He helped advise me on my divorce and custody situation. He reviewed documents drawn up by another lawyer. While doing so he brought to my attention significant problems with the document. He pointed out ambiguous language that could be u...sed to construe legal rights that I had not agreed to. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. I have been dealing with ongoing legal action within the family law court for years. During that time multiple lawyers have been involved. Mr. Overlund was the only lawyer who caught significant errors and/or ambiguity. In addition he was also the only lawyer whom I dealt with who openly acknowledges if he makes a mistake, and apologizes. It makes Mr. Overlund considerably easier to work with. He knows the law. He is clear eyed and plain spoken when it comes to advising on how best to proceed. I trust him.
