Specifically Justin Riem: Justin was fantastic handling my divorce. He was always right to the point, and concerned about my time and billing. There was never a surprise at what I was being charged. He was good at telling me what I needed to get done and used his experience to say what he expected from opposing counsel. He took the time to get to know my personal situation and it sort of felt like he molded the case around my specific circumstance. He had great ideas for negotiating. He had ideas on how to show opposing counsel facts and figures which helps negotiating. Fortunately, I did not have to go to trial, but I felt very confident if he would have represented me in court. He’s fair, but definitely fights for his client. He’s very compassionate and understands this is a very rough event in a person’s life. He ran my divorce as I wanted him to, for example, if I told him to ‘wait a while’, he did. I’d highly recommend him for children.

Attorney Justin D. Riem worked on my case. If this man is not working on your case you should fear him. He has an extraordinary gift, he senses people, he takes time to understand you, your motives, your goals, and he will be at all times be upfront and honest with you. I came to him stressed, with a butt load of papers and drowned fully on uncertainty and completely powerless, surrounded by a web of lies that was the perception my ex-wife built with help of her attorney who sided on her lies vs understanding the overall picture. Justin took his time and worked with his team during extenuating hours dissecting, reading, understanding, putting a case together and along all that communicating with me. Short story, he turned my divorce around, he gave me back my little ones. Time and time again when I was thinking there was no turn around this man made it happen. I will be forever thankful by what he made happen and I will always continue referring people to him and his team.
