This review is for Jennifer Brown (FKA Jennifer Farmer) with Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor. At the beginning of this year (2013) I found myself unexpectedly faced with the reality that my wife of 10 years and I were going to end our marriage in divorce. Simply stated, this was the second most difficult thing that I had ever been faced with. I soon realized that I needed to select an attorney for my defense as well as for the protection of my assets that were accrued both pre and post marital. I had planned on meeting with several attorneys and Jenni, as everyone calls her, was the first one that I met with. We sat and talked for quite a while as she took notes. She wanted me to start as far back as I thought was applicable and tell her every detail up to the present. The meeting was so much more that I had anticipated. I had no idea that so many emotions would rise to the surface like they did. The fact that I was talking to a total stranger, and a beautiful young attorney at that, set the stage for what could have been an incredibly awkward moment. It wasn’t at all. Jenni has a way about her that makes you feel totally at ease. She listens carefully and asks all of the appropriate questions in order to prepare the best case possible. Although she is young, her experience is quite evident and she is well connected in the legal community. Besides being an excellent attorney, Jenni really does care about her clients and shows just the right amount of compassion. Attorneys are generally not known for this but it is one of many attributes that makes her excel. Honestly, I have nothing but praises for her. I would also like to mention Lynn Congdon who is Jenni’s Senior Paralegal. She is a crucial part of the team who is generally behind the scenes doing her part to ensure success for the client. And lastly, Anne Campbell, the Account Manager. She was always on top of things and excelled at keeping me informed as to where my money was being spent. As a bonus she is an incredibly nice person and a pleasure to work with. In summary, if you find yourself in need of legal representation concerning family law, do not hesitate to call Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor and ask for a meeting with Jennifer Brown. You will not regret it!

In regards to my specific legal matters, I extend high appreciation and praise to my attorney, Christine Ulich, for her representation, counsel, guidance and navigation. I also extend my thanks to Lynn, Brittni, Amy, and the rest of the Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor team for their efforts related to my case. While I am sure that they all have participated in matters much more complicated than mine, it was much more challenging than I anticipated and I could not have asked for a better team representing my interests. More significantly, to me at least, I thank Christine for her care, compassion and support. She received, handled (tolerated?) and managed my emotions, frustrations, and challenges with tremendous grace. Throughout the process, I knew that she had my best needs, interests and desires in mind and at heart. I can go on and on with my appreciation . . . While my hope is that I will never again need family law representation, I certainly now know where to turn if I do.

I just want to extend my gratitude to you Michaela. You granted a whole family happiness that day. Four of my family members traveled here from Pittsburgh and Florida to see the kids. And you made it happen. I chose you because a felt an honesty in you. When you were sitting next to me in the court room, telling me you were nervous it did not make me feel less confident in you but that I was with one of my friends being honest with me and we were in this together. You are an amazing lawyer. Thank you so much. Dean DiEmidio My experience with Attorney Michaela Mericle has been thankful choice. I have from day one felt like she was invested in my case (my life). I did not want to be involved with a law firm that sells you upon interview, then throws you into the machine. She has been personable, caring and thoughtful of all my concerns. She took a huge load of stress off a already weighed down father.

I was very satisfied with the legal help I received. I too was referred to your agency. My ex-boss was a client of Ryan Proctor, so when I was lost and did not know how or where to start my proceeding he referred Ryan to me. Ryan was supportive and effective. In return Ryan let Erica Arena-Camarillo help me out a lot to help keep the cost down. I love Erica and really felt she had my best interest at all times. She toughened me up when I didnt think I could be. She allowed me to just talk, yet represetned me. I would 110% refer anyone to your firm. I actually have a co-worker who has now found herself in the same position I was in 18 months ago. I gave her Ryans card. I hope when she is ready she will call your firm. Thank you will never be enough to Ryan and Erica. I truely apprecaited them and will always hold them dear.

My experience with Jenni, Brittany, Rebecca, Max, the reception staff, other members of the law firm, and briefly met one of the senior members of the law firm...they were all extremely professional, helpful, and extra friendly. I clearly stated my needs and the final goals I had in mind for my case. Jenni was very realistic and practical about my outcome. She also had addressed my personal insecurities and fears about my case. I have nothing but positive reviews about their law firm/personnel and suggest anyone/everyone be realistic, open, and honest (including their feelings/fears) with their lawyer about their final goals and personal insecurities about their case.

Max Fishman represented my fiancé in a family law case and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that he operated with our best interests in mind throughout the duration of our case. He was professional, passionate, and sincere. There is no doubt in my mind that he worked tirelessly to ensure our every need was met and every goal accomplished. We cannot begin to express our gratitude to Max. In addition, this firm has been more than willing to work with us in a multitude of ways, and each member of their staff has been nothing short of professional and courteous at all times. 10/10 would highly recommend this firm and Max to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Worst experience I have ever have. I thought my attorney was representing me but in the end I felt like I left even more confused and $7,000 out of pocket for a divorce. The attorney was more concerned about making sure my ex husband was happy rather than myself and three children. I was of course under a great deal on emotional distress but hoped that I would have been assigned an attorney whom had my best interest in mind. After 8 years I am still paying for the mistakes the attorney had made, not to mention the outrageous fees they charge. Since my experience I have heard similar stories. They do not care about your life. They just want your money.

Gina Grady and the team at Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor assisted me with my divorce. Divorce is never an easy process for anyone involved. Gina and the team were readily available to answer any questions that I had and offered their support and encouragement throughout the process. I received monthly statements that detailed how the fees for services were used and received great feedback on how to utilize my limited financial resources effectively. I would most definitely recommend Gina and the team at the firm to anyone needing expert and professional support for their divorce and family law issues.

I had a very unique criminal warrant case that I was issuing against an ex due to fraud. Gina Grady assisted me with my case as my attorney. She help me stay focused on the objective by developing a clear plan on how to move forward on this matter. Regardless of the obstacles I encountered, she provided clear and objective legal advise and direction throughout the case. From my experience, I would heavily recommend her as well as Stearns Montgomery & Proctor to my family and friends.

I have used SMP for over a year now and am beyond satisfied with their services. My attorney Kristen Files is always available and willing to help with every matter. She certainly goes above and beyond what is required of her and I greatly appreciate it. The entire SMP staff has been nothing but pleasant and ready to help. I love how they all seem to work together and help one another. I would definitely use this firm again and would recommend them. Thank you, Kristen! Thank you,SMP!

Randy Sabatini you are soooo awesome!!!! Since taking over my Divorce you made it easy for me to understand what was at stake and what was in my best interest. I was fortunate to have you representing me. Because of your superb skill in negotiating, your understanding of the court, and the depth of your experience you were able to reach a settlement on my behalf. A settlement that was more favorable than what I had even hoped for. In short I want to say that YOU ARE THE BEST!!

Randy Sabatini, along with his paralegal Shannon and my account manager, Jesse, made a very difficult time in my life much easier to get through! They were always available to answer any questions that I had, no matter how small! Randy always made sure I understood what was happening and why and was able to get me a satisfactory outcome in a short period of time. I am thankful that I hired Randy and will always appreciate what everyone at the firm did for me!

Jonathan Chase - Thanks to Jenni, Lynn, Rebecca and Brittni for all they did to help me get custody of my daughter. Courts are very hesitant to take custody away from mothers. Jenni helped me to prove that a father can provide a nurturing and loving environment for his child. Sometimes it is in the best interest of a child to be with their father. My daughter is going to now grow up in a safe home with good values surrounded by a loving supportive family.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. Max Fishman was my lawyer and he made me feel comfortable with everything I was going through and he was very knowledgable. Any time I had a question or concern, he was quick to respond and help me. Any time he saw that I was nervous or worried about something, he did whatever he needed to and gave great advice and I always knew I was in good hands. And again, everyone in the office was nice too! I always felt welcome.

I have used this law firm twice for the past couple of years and both times I have gotten great results special thanks to Patrick Evans & Jessica Cramer for helping me out in such a difficult time. They worked with me on payment plan due to my financial situation and they have been a great help. If I was to ever need a lawyer again I would most definitely use them. This firm everyone is very professional and again great thanks to Patrick & Jessica :)

Jennifer was always up front an honest with me. I have always been a little hesitant to trust any lawyer, but Jennifer and her staff were constantly keeping me current on new information and costs concerning my case. She is definitely not a lawyer that will string a client along to make an extra dollar. If I ever require a family law attorney again, I will most definitely contact Sterns-Montgomery & Proctor again!

Jenni was great! She was completely honest and straightforward with us about or case, providing all possible scenarios we could face. We truly appreciated how direct she was, even giving us ideas of the direction our opponent could take. From the moment we had our initial consultation with her, we knew she was the right attorney for us and the person to handle our case.

I had a great and efficient experience with the staff at S-M&P! Attorney Jenni Brown, paralegal Rebecca Davey, and account manager Brittni Bergner were all exceptionally kind, helpful and prompt. Jenni Brown made my feel confident in my hesitation about my child support case. Now that my case is over, I know that I picked the right attorney and firm for representation.
