My experience working with Melissa Chawla has been extremely positive and life changing. My divorce was neither easy nor quick, but her calm and thorough approach proved to be exactly what my situation needed. She is extremely smart, well-versed in all areas of family law and truly cares about her clients.

Rhia was so amazing to work with, she is very professional, trustworthy and a very sweet and easy person. During a stressful custody battle Rhia managed to deliver a positive out come, and help me as her client stay positive during the process. I hope to never go through such situation again but if I have to I would absolutely use Rhia again as my lawyer.

We already had went through a couple attorneys on our case and we actually had 2 other attorneys representing us giving horrible advice and making our case worse by letting the county and social services run rough shod over us. Then we were able to get into contact with Rhia. From day 1 the tone changed. She was always easy to get ahold of and she very easily grasped the ins and outs of a confusing case. She was able to do in a couple months on her own, what all the others could not do in 8 months. She got our son out of foster care, back to us, and got social services out of our lives completely. She is a living hero to us. She will stand up for whats right and she will make the opponents follow the laws. Her prices are outstanding and for her caliber work she should be charging much more! You wont find anyone better in Minnesota. Thank you Rhia for giving us hope and making our family complete again!

I felt overwhelmed and anxious when I first walked into the office of Bornmann Spears Family Law. I was unsure of what the divorce process entailed. Ms. Bornmann Spears explained what I could expect using language I understand. I knew I had an amazing advocated when she pointed me to resources which could provide additional support for me and my children. Rhia is an honest, caring, and reliable professional. Both she and her staff were prompt and accessible. I had peace of mind knowing that I had a tough and competent attorney standing with me. My divorce when smoothly because Rhia and her staff provided the type of service that ensured a positive outcome in my case. I would highly recommend Bornmann Spears Family Law to represent your best interests.

"Rhia is Amazing, she is one of the BEST Family Law Attorneys in Minnesota in my opinion, she took a custody case that could have easily taken years to finish and she had it signed, sealed, and delivered within 6 months, she was very personable and easy to communicate with, she made herself readily available to answer all my questions even after hours, she goes above an beyond the call of duty, she takes pride in what she does and really cares about her clients and the outcome of their cases, she has the ability to make you smile even in the toughest of times. I would totally recommend her 100%. you never feel like your talking to an Attorney its more like your talking to a friend of the family but yet she still remains professional at all times. I was very impressed.

When I started with the company I was happy with the details in which I was receiving. I felt things where happening in a timely manner. About 6 mo into the case I felt I was not getting the information that was needed. I stayed with the company because I felt this is what was needed and everyone hits a standstill. It wasn’t till I began thinking. Why am I paying all this money for no return calls or emails. No invoices. I had meeting set up but the lawyer wouldn’t show. It wasn’t till I changed lawyers that I began to see what timely results were. I still waiting for an refund/invoice of my funds. When this company is on top of its games, I was very happen in the beginning. I hope they are able to get the personal issues taken care of and go back to the lawyer firm I was told was so great..

Staci is an amazing attorney. She is fair and gives realistic advice. Some attorneys tell you what you want to hear only to find those options aren’t available or it’s not realistic expectation. I felt they were very transparent. Hire them for a honest attorney that’s reasonable financially.

Consumer beware.This law firm is under investigation for embezzling and ponzi schemes. They did not represent my case in anyway. I paid them $1,000 of dollars and never seen an invoice. Never got a call back for weeks. When everything was over I asked for an invoice and return of unused money. Still no call back and no invoice. Family law has been done for months now.

Franz was phenomenal from the beginning process to the final signatures. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and doesn't make you feel incompetent not knowing some of the legal jargon presented in the documents. He has a very patient persona and takes the time to answer all questions no matter how tedious they may seem. This past year has been a big learning curve for me and he truly helped make my life change a smooth transition for me and my children. I will continue to refer him to anyone who needs a fantastic divorce lawyer.

I cannot say enough positive things about Franz or this law office. Franz takes the time to get to know each client individually. He truly CARES about your experience and what's happening in your life. And he takes this information to help create an informed, powerful, and personal case for each and every client. I knew the moment I met with him that I wanted to work with him as my lawyer and have referred MANY friends to him and will continue to do so. Franz is the kind of person who sees and cares for others. And he applies this kindness and care to each and every case he works on. I would hire him again and again.

Divorce can be scary and heartbreaking. I made many calls to lawyers when considering my divorce. I was exhausted and devastated by the time I talked to Franz. I chose him because he showed me empathy. He didn’t take advantage of my emotional state. He offered a different option called a “Divorce Agreement,” that I had never heard of. This was helpful with the cost, which in turn, allowed me to save money and help support my children. He gives great advice and truly understands the stages of grieving. He thoroughly walked me through each step while showing patience, kindness, and a humor. He was professional and very responsive. I always felt supported, and I truly feel blessed. I highly recommend Franz; You will not be disappointed.

I have been exclusively with Marc Beyer for over 14 years handling my children's custody case. Marc has always advised me with the best interests of myself and my children. Fathers face many challenges navigating a custody system that favors mothers. Marc was able to help me secure 50/50 custody of my children, and set up terms that prevented many hardships their mother could have imposed on me. Marc recently helped me secure full custody of one of my children, and has me as a customer for life.

I came to Marc with a terrible situation. I was facing divorce and my now ex-wife was asking for sole legal and physical custody. I thought my situation was hopeless, and Marc guided me through a mediation process that could not have been more painless. I now currently share 50/50 legal and physical custody of my children thanks to Marc, and I was saved thousands of dollars by his ability to negotiate and represent. I am so thankful for his services, and would highly recommend using his firm.

Tim Simonson is excellent and very knowledgable. He listened, was patient and caring and non-judgemental about my contentious, complicated case.

My experience with Tim Simonson was exceptional. My reason for hiring Tim was because of a custody dispute. Tim was very kind and very patient with me. I had a lot of doubts and worries and anxieties throughout the entire case, which was very long. Tim is very knowledgeable, and very intelligent. He knows the law and he knows your rights and where you fall within your rights. Tim fought for my son and I and he won our case in full. I think that, when people are dealing with any type of dispute and are part of the legal system, it is hard to remember or understand the process, and the time it takes to get some kind of relief. Having an attorney like Tim who stays calm and listens to you is probably the number 1 thing a person needs to find when looking to hire an attorney. I truly believe Tim was a God send to my case. I had spoken to other attorneys before finding Tim and it seemed like they were just going to settle and not fight for what was right- as if it was not worth it. The amount of gratitude I have for Tim cannot be put in words. He is a really great attorney and a genuine person

Marcus is Great! Since my divorce, Marcus is the third and last attorney I will ever retain. Marcus was able to cut through the emotional bs and mountain of supposed "issues" raised by my ex wife. And when all was said and done, my ex lost her motion and my rights to my wonderful kids were retained. Marcus'es integrity and interest in doing what's best for kids is evident. Clearly family comes first in his world and he's not out to lead you down an expensive court-paved path simply to line his pockets. Thanks Marcus!

Allison has been working with me on an extremely sensitive, and complicated case involving international custody for (on and off) the better part of a decade. She has never once failed to go above and beyond to protect my interests, as well as the interests of my children. Allison is more than an attorney, she is a staunch ally. I would happily recommend her for any case, because she has proven that she is willing, and able to take on the worst of storms.

This law firm is excellent. Everyone is kind and respectful. Kendal O’keefe has been my attorney for about five years for ongoing issues regarding custody of my son among other issues. She is fantastic! I’ve never had such a wonderful, efficient, kind, and capable attorney. She takes on my issues as though they were her own. She cares about my son and I and always has a solution to any problem I throw at her. I also have worked with Scott Rodman for a brief time while Kendal was out of the office. He is also a great attorney to work with. I’ve recommended this firm, specifically Kendal, to my close family, and they have nothing but great things to say about her. I will continue to recommend this firm to anyone I know having difficulty with a divorce and/or custody. Thank you all for helping me through this difficult time.

Scott Rodman has assisted me with legal matters since October, 2009. He is both kind and realistic. He has a unique way of speaking the truth and being direct without being harsh. He provides options and resources and has guided me to make appropriate decisions based on my circumstances. Scott is also great at listening to my goals and helping me formulate the best strategy to achieve those goals. Scott helped me stay grounded during a very painful, vulnerable chapter in my life and helped me set my own emotions aside and focus on what was most important, my children. Scott explained my legal options in terms that were easy to understand. He then worked through those options with me and advocated on my behalf. Scott has a no-nonsense approach and an impressive understanding of the law. He was respectful of both my time and resources, and he negotiated a very successful outcome for my case. Scott is a competent, direct, ethical attorney who will passionately advocate on your behalf.

Valerie Arnold did an exceptional job with my very complex case. She is very organized and has a strong knowledge of family law. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help. Although I don't know the results of my case quite yet, I know that Valerie and Kendall, an associate attorney with Arnold, Rodman & Kretchmer did everything in their power to guide me and present my case in the most professional manner. I did a lot of research after going through two very unprofessional attorneys and Valerie did not disappoint! Please take this review seriously as I would not want anyone else to experience the results of bad representation as I had in the past. Valerie is top-notch in her field!

I worked with Ashley Bloch winter of 2016-2017 on my Divorce. Her straight forward approach and understanding of the law helped me weigh my options clearly. She was my advocate and advisor encouraging me to understand what my legal rights were in this case. She also gave me tools to enable succinct communications with my spouse to speed the process of the divorce and help us both come to agreement. Her many years of experience was obvious. She was able to get a quick view of the situations offered up as they developed. She expedited the contracts and processed the decree expertly even when there were some emotional challenges that came up. In the end, I felt very fortunate that I had her on my side with the voice of reason. She was a tremendous help. I would highly recommend Bloch and Whitehouse to any friend who is seeking legal assistance with Family Matters.

She was always available…always responded to calls and emails within a short period of time, if not right away. I am very happy with my experience with her! More importantly…she was effective! She walked me through every step of my divorce, doing all of the paperwork, explaining everything, constantly in contact with me on next steps. The process went very smoothly and I always knew she was in my corner, no matter what! Thanks for everything!
