Reviews

Melissa C
The attorney I spoke with was very nice and helpful, with much needed information, but since they are extremely short on housing attorney’s, they couldn’t actually help with representing me. Although, the attorney did give me resource websites, to try to help me proceed with my legal issue on my own. Unfortunately, people never seem to take a random person as serious as they do an attorney representing that random person! (Being short on attorney’s, is the reason for the review not being 5 stars.)

Critical: ProfessionalismThis place couldn’t help you fight your way out of a wet paperl bag. If you get someone name Debbie or Darbie do not waste your time explaining your situation to her you will get nowhere with her. You would be better representing yourself.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueThis is one of the best places to turn for legal help with critical issues if you cannot afford to hire an attorney. I looked at all of the reviews here and the only negative reviews appear to have been from people that did not get a call back or who were not a good fit for the type of services they needed. However, every review from someone who was represented here is a five star and there is a reason for that this place actually cares and invests in their clients even if they do not have money to pay and that is a very rare thing. I don’t take it for granted and thank you SMRLS!This is one of the best places to turn for legal help with critical issues if you cannot afford to hire an attorney.

I loved our experience at the Southern Minnesota Regional Legal assistance office. The staff are knowledgeable, informative and professional. I took my son there to reach legal advice pertaining to unwed fathers and paternity requirements for the State of Minnesota. My intentions were for us to gain knowledge as it pertained to his rights as a father to a child born out of wedlock. I had never experienced since a situation with either of my older sons, both were married when their children were conceived. We were provided accurate information regarding parentage, father’s rights, DNA testing, joint custody etc. My son and I entered the session feeling nervous and uncertain about things but after our briefing on how to handle such matter we felt relied and confident on how to go about securing my son’s parental rights. They provided us with booklets, pamphlets etc that contained step by step instructions for fathers that are expecting children but are unwed. I highly recommend SMRL as a place to go to get accurate legal advice and assistance.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueVery poor service experience I got from this firm. I had an eviction case ongoing and I was working with lawyer Christopher who happen to leave and my case got transfer over to Darbie Smith who does not seem to know exactly what she is doing. Every time we spoke she has to have me repeat myself to her about the case and the situation over again and again. She mix me up with a different person who has the same name but different address and then an eviction that is not related to me.Recently she asked me to provide my bank account information to her she stated that because their firm won’t represent anyone who doesn’t have the funds to pay??? What is that suppose to mean? She stated she won’t file anything until I provide her my bank information. I was so uncomfortable with what she was asking for because she wants me to provide proof of money, that it can be paid otherwise she will not provide me service and said the firm has been having bad reputation because of cases where it was not being paid.I took a picture of my brothers account with his consent and support, to her and she sends me a rejection letter right after, stating they only help low income family?! What a joke! No wonder this company has bad reputation!!!!I am very shock and displease with such a lawyer who is so unprofessional and she doesn’t even know how to handle the case or tell me what to do next. Horrible, it’s so horrible that I’m letting all my friends, family and relatives know how bad this place is. Don’t even waste your time here and or use their services.Very poor service experience I got from this firm.

An extremely valuable resource. Suzanne Guertin is an amazing ICWA attorney. I was so fortunate to have her on my case representing me. I cannot say enough good things about her.
