Absolutely the best! Angela was my attorney through my divorce and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful person. She was the best lawyer, therapist and friend I could have asked for and when it came to fighting for me she was a pitbull. I can’t recommend them enough, especially Angela. They were worth every penny spent.

From the moment I called and spoke with Paul Hunczak, who then connected me with Brian Lundquist, I was so impressed. You can tell this team truly cares about people and the work they do.
Brian Lundquist was so helpful and patient with me, our situation, and all of the many questions I had.
I/we were feeling so overwhelmed and lost in our situation, not a clue where to start. By the time our call was over, I felt like we had direction and a plan In place. I highly this recommend this firm and Brian Lundquist to anyone in need of representation.

I had a great experience with Irma, Rich, and the staff at MDS. They were thorough, professional, smart, and warm. I was able to relax knowing I had them representing me, as we navigated a complex estate sale of a house. It was truly a relief after a few years of complications. I highly recommend them.
