Great Relief!
Your response was exactly what we were hoping and praying you'd advise. We are seniors and sometimes new occurrences can present some anxiety.

Great Information
John Tiemessen was a great help. He answered my question very thoughtfully with great detail. I would recommend him to any other person that needs a lawyer.

Extraordinary Attorney with Incredible On-Point Finesse
Atty. Tiemessen turned out to be a gift from heaven for me. When I thought I had started out just asking a relatively simple legal question, his response provided so such insight and compassion while laying out some of my unrecognized options that I felt truly blessed. He communicated in a straightforward style so I easily became familiar with the underlying legal concept without being overwhelmed by legal jargon. His initiative and kind, personalized style also helped me emotionally cope with circumstances that I was having a difficult time accepting (when I was already in a state of turmoil). I appreciate his assistance immensely because it made a gargantuan difference legally and psychologically. I'm going to follow through. If you want "extras" when it comes to legal counsel, Atty. Tiemessen is definitely the lawyer to call (at least if you're seeking an optimal outcome).
