My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. My attorney fought hard for me. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Thank you, Ms. Bolin, I thank you not just for your expertise and professionalism but for your kindness during one of the most difficult times in my life. Your kindness pulled me through.

I was drowning in debts. I was not catching a break. I needed to understand what options I had. I had prospects with some new business. So happy I took this consultation. It saved me a very costly mistake as I was thinking that bankruptcy was my only option. I brought all my problems, discussed them with Ms. Bolin and got a clearer picture of what my legal options were. A life saver!

I was planning on suing a lot of people who were not paying on contracts we signed. I took a consult. I asked every question I could think of and then some. Ms. Bolin answered my questions. She guided me on what the best path for me. I have a family and I wanted to maintain those business contracts and not blow everything up. She helped me on steps that I took to bring everyone to mediation. Resolved things in a really short time. I got the super advice that I needed for me and my business.

I came loads with issues. I was hurt at work and once I got back my supervisor was looking for a way to get rid of me. I was so unhappy with my work environment, but loved my job. Ms. Bolin explained to me some of the laws concerning the workplace and I even got to read my company's handbook for the very first time! Then, I had other issues with my landlord that I discussed with her and that my injury is still not resolved. I felt empowered after my one hour. She really knows her stuff!

I was getting pressured by injury lawyers who wanted my case after I got badly hurt. Me and my husband were not sure who to trust or how to start. Everyone promised they will get me a lot of money and free consultation. I needed to understand what happens with injury case. I wanted to get better and return to work. I decided to pay the one hour fee and me and my husband asked Ms. Bolin all the questions we can think of. She does not want our case, as she does not handle cases other than consultations. So, she told us what we needed to hear. She explained how injury cases work and what to expect. She equipped us with the best information for us to decide the best lawyer to hire for our case. She did not make any referrals or recommendations. She just took us through the process of a case and the contingency fee in personal injury cases. We used that information to hire the injury lawyer you decided was best for us and our family. That $200 was well worth it for us.

I was separated and needed to file for divorce. I was so angry about my divorce, I also did not have a lot of money to fight a lengthy divorce, but I also wanted to make sure I got the proper child support. I spent 2 hours with Ms. Bolin in two sessions and ultimately decided that I would approach my ex about going to mediation for the divorce. I found the mediation service and we went and two visits everything was done. My consultation with Ms. Bolin helped me understand the options available to me and I was dreading the whole divorce process with all the nastiness in the court. So, to know that I had so many other options and that mediation was perfect for me and thankfully my ex agreed, was just so eye opening to say the least.

I had so many questions that I needed answers to a lot of stuff. I was having issues with my fellow HOA board members. I had a case that I wanted to appeal, and my insurance company was jerking me around on needed repairs to my property. Ms. Bolin had me start from beginning. She answered every question I had. She gave me so much information on all of those issues. It was really a fantastic experience. I was not stressed out over or pressured in any way. She is just there to answer questions and is trying an angle to get your case or get a retainer. Really fantastic for me. Did not know this sort of service existed for lawyers.

I am a repeat consulter. Is that a word? So, whenever I had legal questions nagging at me, I pilled them all up, put them all together, and then book my time. When I can't understand a lot of mumbo jumbo legal stuff, I book my time and get human-speak. She breaks it down in language you can understand. No question is too small to ask. I get the guidance I need and I do my homework and life is good.

Ms. Bolin tried my case and won. She has handled all my business disputes including the ones that needed to be litigated. I know she only consults now to offer options, before you go hire a lawyer. I highly value her advise. If she tells me my case should go to mediation instead of the court, I will believe it. She has been through it all. If she tells me that I have no case to walk away, I will take that advise very seriously. If she tells me to fight, then, I know that she has considered all other options and that is what I must do. I like to know all of this before spending a dollar on retaining a lawyer.
