Tuft, Lach, Jerabek & O'Connell, PLLC

My husband and I decided it was time to set up a trust and had no idea how involved the process would be. Working with Letty Van Ert was an amazing experience. In just a few meetings, she guided us through everything and helped us create a complete estate plan. We now have peace of mind knowing our assets are protected and set up for future generations without the stress of probate. I highly recommend Letty and her assistant Jodi. They make an amazing team! 5 star experience all the way!!!

Letty Van Ert is a wonderful lawyer, she is smart, fierce, intelligent - she knows the law in and out and has been practicing family law for a very long time. She will be candid with you and that's very helpful. She also is patient, and will repeat or reiterate what you spoke about in email, which I have never had a lawyer do. This is my 3rd lawyer and I will not be switching again! I had her represent me in family law and doing a trust.

Anyone finding themselves in need of family law counsel is well aware that it can be a long, hard and emotional road. After thorough research and interviews, I chose Lindsey O'Connell to represent me in a matter that was already 5 years full of challenges. I am grateful for her legal brilliance, research, strategy, and ability to handle some tough situations with incredible empathy. The whole team, including Allyson Kerr specifically, were so responsive and helpful. Working together, they permanently resolved a chapter that had seemed to be never-ending.

I cannot recommend Melanie Nelson. I hired her to ensure the court respected my equal parenting time after my child support documents were repeatedly rejected, which left my children without access to food assistance. She went on vacation without completing the work I hired her for and left me without any legal support. When I raised this urgent matter, she dismissed it, stating it was “not an emergency” and that if I felt it was, I should find another lawyer. Her absence directly contributed to the situation she then dismissed. Even in her last communication, she instructed me to resubmit documents that had already been submitted and rejected, showing a lack of attention to the work that was done. Family law clients rely on competent, attentive, and thorough representation. Ms. Nelson’

In my opinion you should not waste your time, money, or energy having Chris Vatsaas as your Parenting Consultant. He took months to issue straight forward decisions. It was absolutely clear we were not a priority, he either has too much already on his plate, or something else is going on causing him to take months to communicate. I felt very much like we were treated as an afterthought. Overall very unhappy with the process.
