I was well represented

I came to Vonda after talking to her as well as a few other lawyers about my car crash case. In my case I was trying to get money from my own insurance company because the other driver didn't have enough money to cover my medical bills and my insurance company didn't want to cover the bills either d...espite me paying for insurance coverage just in case this were to happen. Vonda was able to explain the process to me and made my insurance company give me coverage that I paid years of premiums for and then some! I got a great result and am very happy with her.

Professional and Great experience

I contacted Vonda for help on a sensitive legal matter, and couldn't be more grateful for her services. Vonda accommodated my case after handling a big matter for another client. From the moment Vonda took on my case, I was immediately impressed by her professionalism and readiness. Despite her bu...sy schedule, Vonda prioritized me and answered my questions and concerns promptly. She ensured I was always in the loop, keeping me updated on the progress of my case. I appreciated how she gave clear advice every step of the way, putting my mind at ease during a very difficult time in my life. I felt empowered with Vonda as my lawyer. Ultimately, she achieved the best outcome for me. I am very happy with the results and fortunate she accommodated me when possible.

No Communication after initial agreement was made

I hired Vonda and Susan Mindenbergs after Vonda came highly recommended for a police misconduct claim. They both seemed very excited about my case and to work with me initially. I have sent dozens of emails and made just as many phone calls and she has went silent. After over a year of silence, I req...uested my documents to attempt to find new representation. I received only some of the documents, with the most important pieces missing. I have had to start reaching out to find new representation and have had to jump through hoops to request original footage of my claim. These types of claims are time sensitive. I was only told she had been ill, traveling and in trial from her secretary. Waste of time.

Unfortunately, because you did not provide your name, I have no idea who you are, and if in fact you really were my client or whether I declined your case and you are upset.

Bad communication and no action

My family hired Vonda to help with a racism/assault claim. She seemed invested in our case initially but dropped off the face of the earth. Despite numerous emails, promises to get back to us and phone calls, we have had no update in almost 5 months and need to get a new lawyer. We are extremely disa...ppointed. According to her receptionist she is dealing with more important cases. If that’s the case, she should have just said so. A waste of time.

This is simply not true. Your spouse was arrested, charged and convicted of assault because he was the aggressor. It was explained to you that given the facts of this matter there was simply nothing I could do for your family. You voiced your disappointment and refused to believe that I could not file a claim.
