CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
MacElree Harvey has recently helped us with re-writing our Wills. Our old Wills were a bit of a “spaghetti mess” and hard to follow. By just answering three or four questions posed by MacElree Harvey we were able to streamline our last wishes…..VERY HELPFUL!
Lance provided me with legal advice and waived the fee based on my situation. Lance genuinely cares, he’s still in the process of helping us, I am grateful there are still people willing to care enough to assist people in need, thanks Lance.
It is easy when getting divorced to make emotional decisions. Lance helped keep me on track by constantly benchmarking my emotional choices against my long term goals. His ability to steer my communications and ultimately my decision making to achieving my goals was an enormous benefit. Lots of lawyers understand the law. Lance not only is a great lawyer, he also understands people and how to motivate them to success.
I’ve been dealing with Mike for about three years now as a non-profit company tries to take my service dog away from me. As a disabled person on a fixed income, I am the type of person it is very easy for an attorney to shun and overlook but Mike has NEVER treated me with anything but the utmost of respect and kindness. When I don’t understand something he takes the time to completely explain it. He has never taken more than a day and a half to get back to me with an answer to a question. I can not believe how blessed I have been to have him as my attorney!
Lance has been and continues to be an excellent resource and outstanding advocate for me regarding family law matters. He crafted my premarital agreement with thoughtful thoroughness so when it, unfortunately, was needed the divorce process was short and smooth. Additionally, Lance counseled me regarding child custody matters in a fair and balanced manner that was always focused on the well being of my children. I would recommend Lance for family law matters based on my continually exceptional experience.
