Perfect! Exactly what I needed. He was competitively priced and when my ex-wife tried to take my kids out of state he helped me through getting a restraining order dropped and the judge sided with me on 5 out of 6 counts. What was particularly surprising was Mr. Kontos knowledge and experience. In my first appointment he told me what the court was likely to do. In the end it was exactly as he said. I cannot recommend him more!

I called and left 2 voicemails and I still haven't received a call back... I don't intend to pursue them for legal assistance.

If you don't have alot of experience dealing with lawyers, want a lawyer who, is very knowledgeable in alot of areas, especially family law, with ease in communication to get the right results for your situation, and whether you need to hire them, need help with pro se advice or assistance, the lawyers, David Kontos and Cameron Pearson are the " Right kind of lawyers"!

Never consulted. My review regards the person answering your phone. Try and seem a little polite with prospective clients, and by the way your listed on google as free consultation, not $100.00

I have sent a number of people over to David in the last few years. David has always taken the time to answer their questions. He has a vast legal knowledge and is very compassionate and understanding. I would highly recommend David Kontos

I came to Fiori Law with not much hope or knowledge on ever getting a divorce. I Was married to a woman who took off with my daughter nearly 20 years ago, with absolutely zero idea on where she was or how to get divorced with no location. Michelle M. Cummings took me on as a client and worked with me financially, and helped me navigate through all the steps, we started in Jan 2019 working together and thanks to her amazing help, and amazing attitude, I was finally divorced on July 13th 2019. I was then able to get married to the most amazing woman that I have been with for 3 years, but never thought I would be able to marry. Thank you Fiori Law and especially thank you to Michelle M. Cummings, you are outstanding and we are forever grateful

I had an outstanding experience with Janis Kipp who helped me through the difficult process of navigating the court system in a divorce. She answered all my questions, prepared my paper work, and saved my sanity in a variety of ways. I was very appreciative, and grateful for her patient work in addressing all my needs. It was very nice to have the option to pay an LLLT at a less expensive rate than an attorney, but to know that I would have access to their help if needed.... sort of like having a baby with a midwife at a hospital, but having access to the doctors if something should go terribly wrong. Janis is the midwife of birthing a divorce, for people like me, that want to have a more "natural" divorce experience, with no contention or conflict. She is amazing.

My husband has been a client of Fiori Law Office going on two years now. They had helped us tremendously with paperwork, child support, parenting plans, court and were patient with us and answered all our questions. They recently were bought out by someone and let’s just say they are ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. We have called time and time again asking for Michelle, who has helped us so much in the past, and never once get a call back. When we do get a live person, they tell us that it’ll be $200 just to speak to Michelle.... then my husband emails because he needs an attorney right now and they tell us that they can’t take on anymore clients even though he has been a client for over two years. We will never recommend this place, nor will we ever pay them a dime again. Bye.

I was referred by one of my friends that said she used Loretta and a few of her friends have used her as well and they all called her a bull dog in the court room. What I enjoyed about her is she was personable and reasonable. She suggested and recommended what she could get for me, but wasn't there to tell me otherwise and take my money. I have had a bad experience with other attorneys that will take a deposit and not give you a heads up that it could cost more. I felt she was there to help and get the best end result. In fact I put a deposit down and started to role the ball on a case but two days later the other end was taken care of. Instead of charging me the hours her office had already worked towards my case she refunded me my whole amount. I recommend Loretta because she is one of the best attorney's out there and will do her best to get what you need. I will be using her again if I need her.

I am truly grateful for the Fiori Law Office! Both Michelle and Heather are a dynamic duo that have the upmost professionalism, Are timely, and are truly their for the client. They were compassionate and honest with me throughout my entire experience, which gave me a peace of mind through a stressful time! Thank you both so much, truly truly thankful!

My experience with Clement Law Center was just what I needed. I worked specifically with Kristina Gibbs-Ruby. Not only did I win my case, but she put forth such an outstanding effort. Now we all know lawyers handle multiple cases/issues at a time. Kristina always made me feel like my case came first, and her actions showed it (even made contact during the Holidays). She was very polite when needed but aggressive to make sure her point came across. She had a great attitude, work ethic, knowledgeable, and worth every penny. I would recommend her to anyone!

10 stars! I recommend Bruce Clement to everyone who is looking for an experienced and trustworthy family attorney. I am very happy and grateful to Bruce and his team for the wonderful work they've done, for their brilliant minds and kind hearts they put into my case.

Bruce and his team (inc Claudia, who was so caring and amazing) are truly wonderful, hard-working, and experienced. They won a very complicated and difficult protection order/divorce case on behalf of my mother, even with language barriers (Punjabi) and I am forever appreciative. If you want someone who knows the system and cares, I highly recommend this firm.

This afternoon I had a phone consultation with Bruce Clement. He was incredibly insightful and knowledgeable in my case. We will be retaining his Law firm. He made me feel like I was important and not just another case. I have spoken to several other law firms and they were of not help at all. It is easy to give him a 5 star rating as he is well worth it.

Hire this law firm. I went in today for the free consult offered on their website. I was pretty confused and distressed with all of what is going on in my particular situation. Bruce Clement laid out my options- all of which are actually free for me up until a point where he said I could hire a lawyer when that point comes. And then at that future point, he has three tiers of retainer and hourly rates. I so appreciate the information he gave, it was honestly worth paying for. This is review is the best way I can repay him. If in fact I will need a lawyer heading into the new season of my particular issue, I will be hiring this law firm. I always appreciate free value, and not feeling pressured into making a decision on the spot, and honest lawyers who are firstly focused on their clients (and potential clients) rather than focusing on the money. Thank you!!

Janal is thoroughly exceptional. I had to engage counsel for a major modification to change parenting plan and sole decision making. With her representation, I was granted all requests and my daughter is flourishing. Early in the proceedings I was working with another attorney and realized I needed stronger representation. After interviewing several attorneys, it was clear she was high above the rest. Here’s what I love about her: 1) Exceptional knowledge – she brought new perspectives and recommendations that supported my case. 2) Oversight – She had an uncanny ability to retain and recall the facts of my case. She was always able to pick up where we left off. No matter her total caseload, I felt like I was her main client. 3) Supportive relationship – She kept me optimistic and uplifted me. I’ve become highly aware that other attorneys do not have this capacity. 4) Gravitas – She is strong and confident and will always angle for win-win solutions. She effectively pushed back and she knows how to ‘show teeth’ when called for. 5) Personality - She is a pure enjoy to work with, which was refreshing and uplifting throughout. What I’ve learned from her will serve me a lifetime. I’m beyond thankful and I highly recommend.

Janal is an amazing attorney and she help me with family case. She treats people with respect and she stands up for her clients. She is fair and honest with her clients, like she was with me. There is not a lot of attorneys out there that will give their all like Janal does. I got some much support from her. Thank you Janal from me and my family.

Janal was always professional, understood my case and was available to me when I needed clarification on my case. She was always prompt to respond and kept me informed as to the progress of my case. I highly recommend her!! Reviewed by: Shawneen Falck

She's shady rude very uncompassionate and doesn't customize no kind of attention. Payment plan please she will drop you in a heartbeat! She doesn't care about her clients or their kids! Do not hire her she doesn't care, she is a hack lawyer out to just take your money! I had to give her a star just to post this but -5 stars is what she deserves.

I hired Mr. Erik Bjornson to help me with my DV case, he by far has to be one of the best divorce attorneys. Mr. Bjornson helped me through my very nasty Protection order case. He was extremely professional and very aggressive. I wouldn't hire anyone else. If you want a great family law attorney hire Mr. Bjornson!

Mr. Bjornson must be a highly skilled attorney. My case was not easy to be resolved because there existed many international issues. It was the most challenging to understand the American legal system for me. However, his passionate support turned into success. I am satisfied with the final result. I know many international people want to understand the American law system, which is different from each state. But most of them don't have fewer opportunities to see the attorney who can support international people in the USA. I will recommend Mr. Bjronson to those when they need help and have the same issues. Thank you very much!

Hiring Erik as my divorce attorney was the best decision I made for my divorce. As a cardiologist, my mindset was that I must protect what is mine and fight to win. I initially hired the most expensive high end attorney and law firm in Tacoma, and it was a disaster. I successfully wasted money, probably close to $50,000 to $100,000 and got no where. My ex-wife hired a sleaze ball attorney that would do anything to drain more lawyers fees out of me to pay his fee. While my first attorney didn’t do anything unethical, but he was unable to manage my case in a manner that would be in my best interest long term. He was also impossible to reach, and I felt like my case was not a priority. When I asked to mediate, he came up with reasons not to “give up.” Finally, and most importantly, he could not provide an accurate forecast of how my divorce was going to go. My divorce was an expensive mess and the best thing that happened to me is my attorney fired me. Let’s just say I let him know how unhappy I was with the amount I was spending. So I hired Erik, solo attorney, no big law firm. I just wanted out of my divorce. Erik was not only significantly less expensive than my previous attorney, but he was more experienced and consciences about the particulars of my case. He spent a significant amount of time (which he did NOT bill) to explain why my divorce put me at risk longterm and that I needed to settle and mediate. Erik was able to provide a forecast of My divorce and it was spot on. He cleaned up my case. He got me out of contempt (another screw up from my first attorney), provided expert personal guidance, and negotiated a settlement in my favor (well relative favor) with my ex-wife’s sleaze ball attorney to get me divorced quickly. Erik isn’t flashy and doesn’t have a website with a bunch of Pizazz. He isn’t trying to please his buddies or court judges during trial. He is to the point, honest, get the job done the way it should be in the clients best interest. No BS. ”This is how it is,” “this is what we want to avoid for your case,” let’s get you divorced and on with your life.” I never want to get divorced again and I don’t wish it upon anyone, but if you are a soon to be ex-husband, go with Erik.

I find Erik to be passionate about his line of work as an attorney. He is both very experienced with the law and the procedures involved in this process. I find that he works relentlessly to find solutions to problems sets that range from simple to the most complex. He is level headed in even the most emotional of cases and works to bring results and peace of mind during the process. The value add of experience only adds to his vast knowledge of the law.

Erik is a skilled attorney who is able to act strategically to get results. His experience and effectiveness is invaluable in overcoming challenging situations. His services are highly recommended.

While my first attorney didn’t do anything unethical, but he was unable to manage my case in a manner that would be in my best interest long term. He was also impossible to reach, and I felt like my case was not a priority. When I asked to mediate, he came up with reasons not to “give up.” Finally, and most importantly, he could not provide an accurate forecast of how my divorce was going to go. My divorce was an expensive mess and the best thing that happened to me is my attorney fired me. Let’s just say I let him know how unhappy I was with the amount I was spending. So I hired Erik, solo attorney, no big law firm. I just wanted out of my divorce. Erik was not only significantly less expensive than my previous attorney, but he was more experienced and consciences about the particulars of my case. He spent a significant amount of time (which he did NOT bill) to explain why my divorce put me at risk longterm and that I needed to settle and mediate. Erik was able to provide a forecast of My divorce and it was spot on. He cleaned up my case. He got me out of contempt (another screw up from my first attorney), provided expert personal guidance, and negotiated a settlement in my favor (well relative favor) with my ex-wife’s sleaze ball attorney to get me divorced quickly. Erik isn’t flashy and doesn’t have a website with a bunch of Pizazz. He isn’t trying to please his buddies or court judges during trial. He is to the point, honest, get the job done the way it should be in the clients best interest. No BS. ”This is how it is,” “this is what we want to avoid for your case,” let’s get you divorced and on with your life.” I never want to get divorced again and I don’t wish it upon anyone, but if you are a soon to be ex-husband, go with Erik.

    I find Erik to be passionate about his line of work as an attorney. He is both very experienced with the law and the procedures involved in this process. I find that he works relentlessly to find solutions to problems sets that range from simple to the most complex. He is level headed in even the most emotional of cases and works to bring results and peace of mind during the process. The value add of experience only adds to his vast knowledge of the law.

I sadly needed their services for a divorce this year. I was recommended to them by a family member and I'm glad I went with Jamie. She is a tough advocate and really helped me out with negotiating the final settlement. I would for sure recommended her to anyone in a legal dispute

I strongly recommend Cameron and Amy in any family law matter. They are an efficient and effective team. Cameron’s approach to my case has been incredible - he has a way of cutting straight to the heart of the matter in a very assertive, direct, yet tactful way, and his ability to press on just the right buttons at the perfect time is impressive. I can see why he has success in his cases. When emotions are high, he creates a real sense of clarity in the case. I am so thankful to have had Cameron in my corner to represent me. I can’t think of a better attorney to have advocating for you and your children than Cameron Fleury.

Cameron and Amy did an incredible job of helping me resolve post-secondary support issues without the need and expense of going to court. I worked with Cameron when he was with another firm and was impressed with his knowledge and thoroughness in dealing with my issues. Impressed enough to seek him out when I discovered he was no longer with the law group I was inquiring. Cameron will be my first choice in any future family law related matters that require legal representation.

Had the pleasure of working with Amy and Sondra! They are easy to work with and took all of the appropriate initiatives to make my life and the process easier for the case. I definitely recommend you utilize them. Although it is on the higher end, expense wise, you will not regret it!

Cameron and Amy are exceptionally knowledgeable and organized. My case was handled efficiently and I obtained my desired outcome.

Andrew and his staff is beyond amazing! They are ALL genuine, very responsive and informative. From the first time speaking with Andrew he made time and effortlessly answered all of our questions and concerns. We would recommend Helland to anyone, worth every dollar. Thank you again, Helland Law Group!

I contacted Attorney Andrew Helland to represent me in one of the worst events in my life. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience. Andrew Helland is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and was attentive to any questions/concerns I had leading up to the court date. He was honest about what the alternatives were in approach and the likely challenges that might be faced. He helped me to see what choices would serve me best. Not only was he able to skillfully navigate the difficult waters of an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic support allowed me to de-stress knowing I would be well represented. The relief that comes once Andrew Helland is on the case is life altering. Attorney Helland's excellent legal mind, compassion and experience helped me to envision a future without the trauma of what I was experiencing very quickly. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome Andrew Helland was skillfully able to craft I would recommend Attorney Andrew Helland without reservation to anyone looking for an excellent lawyer with a great support team.

Bob and Mindy were very instrumental in my custody case. It was very stressful and time consuming, the fact Bob and Mindy had continually let me know that things will get better, was a stress reliever and eased my pain of not seeing my son. They were right and a few months after the litigation was finalized, my son and I were back in each other’s presence. I now have my son closed to 50% of the time and my Ex and I are amicable. Custody cases can be very unsettling and stressful please trust in time, it’ll all work out. Thank you to the Helland Law Group.

What can I say...Patricia Steele has been my attorney since 2016. Each and every time I have inquired of her services whether it be divorce, child custody, or just legal advice, Patricia delivers every single time! She is a bulldog in court! She will continue to fight for you until you are satisfied. Most attorneys will feed you things that you don’t need just to line their pockets but not Patricia! She will tell you things just like it is, no sugar coating. She tells you EXACTLY what you actually need to hear. Her presence in the court room is next to none. Patricia is VERY confident in her field of work and her results confirm that. She has a life long client with me and my family! Even Jeannie and Aubrey are so friendly and reassuring! If you want a passionate and straightforward attorney who is willing to put forth every effort to help you win your case, look no further than Patricia Steele at Helland Law Group!!! Give her a call!

About a year ago I separated with my 20 year girlfriend. Getting a lawyer is never a happy moment but when I found Bob he talked to me as a normal person. It never felt like it was about the money it felt like he understood what I needed and wanted and helped prove my point through 3 court appearances. He gave me good advice on each individual scenario I found myself in and we worked together well. If I ever need another lawyer in the future this will be the one I choose. Thank you again for everything Bob

Personally would like to thank Lindsey, Erin, Melissa, and Sara for their professionalism and expertise. Their responsiveness is impeccable. Their work is absolute quality. Ended up having the best case scenario that could happen, and I can’t thank them enough.

This is THE best law firm in Tacoma. They have almost every answer and if they don't they find it out almost immediately to help you out. If you need a lawyer, find some bliss with the Bliss Law Group.

Bliss law group was there anytime I needed them and every time I had a question or needed help they were always on top of it. Attorney Rogers was. I thing short of amazing she is very professional and intelligent. If anyone is ever looking for help or representation do not hesitate to give them a call they are wonderful.

I hired Lindsey as my attorney and had Cathy as my paralegal and was very happy with the whole experience! Everything was done efficiently and correctly. Sarah, the client services liaison, was also incredible!

Heather and her office at Bliss Law Firm handled my high conflict family law case about 5 years ago. I was thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail, knowledge and their aggressiveness in fighting for a favorable outcome for their clients. Without their extensive knowledge of the intricacies of family law, I know that I would not have received the outcome that I did. Fast forward 5 years later, another highly stressful situation developed and as anyone who has experienced the level of anxiety and apprehension that goes along with family law cases, I knew exactly who to reach out to. Despite Heather being 3,000 miles away on a business conference, she had her team reach out to me the same day I reached out to her for assistance. Heather remembered me by name and remembered every detail of my case from 5 years ago! As usual with her expertise and knowledge, I was put at ease immediately. I have always been impressed by the level of detail, dedication, respect and compassion that Heather and her office had for me. But to reach out to me during her personal time 3,000 miles away on a weekend to make sure my needs were addressed immediately during a stressful time made my respect and appreciation for Heather and her law firm rise exponentially. I know with full confidence that you will be in the best possible hands with Heather and her office at Bliss Law Firm on your side!
