Testimonials

From the minute the phone was answered by Erick, who was very courteous and helpful, we knew we weren’t going to be brushed off. He told me he would talk to an attorney and get back to us. I received a call from Lawson, who was just great. He was very helpful in giving me advice and telling me what some of my options were. Wow! I have new faith in the services being provided to Montanans.

I am not an attorney, so I would not feel I am qualified to handle any legal issue myself - but I have confidence in MLSA… [that I will] receive the very best assistance and advice if and whenever required! I cannot think of any improvement to have been made in my representation. I was successfully guided through the entire issue - from beginning to end. I am thankful for their guidance.

Without the help of MLSA I would not have been able to find legal services. Their rapid response to my situation single handedly provided me with exactly what I needed. I honestly cannot think of a single thing to improve services. Everything earns an A+ in my opinion.

Your assistance was invaluable. There were so many crises coming at me at once that although I am a fighter, I felt the ground was going out from under me. You folks reached down and helped me with my biggest and most serious concern, which is protecting the interests of [my grandchildren]…. For this, I will be eternally grateful.
