Blake Caulder, Josh Valentine, Jonathan Kidd, and their team consistently resolve custody and family disputes that have dragged on for years. Clients highlight their responsiveness, calm demeanor under stress, and ability to explain complex processes in plain terms, with particular praise for securing favorable outcomes in high-conflict cases.
The firm's strength lies in turning emotional upheaval into manageable steps. Staff answer questions promptly, stay prepared for court, and show genuine investment in each client's stability, not just case resolution. One client noted their focus on financial outcomes over alternatives, so a second opinion before engagement may be prudent.
Strong work on wills and real estate closings when the office is responsive, but clients report long waits for callbacks, stalled cases, and difficulty reaching attorneys once engaged. Staff turnover and caseload appear to create communication bottlenecks.
Larry Hoyle draws strong praise for legal knowledge, courtroom skill, and willingness to work with clients who cannot pay upfront. Some reviewers report serious problems: missed court dates, ignored calls, retained fees without delivering promised service, and cases that ended poorly despite his direction.
Rachel Pickard's firm excels in Social Security disability cases where staff connect quickly and secure wins that matter. Outcomes are polarized: some clients credit the team with life-changing results after prior rejections; others report abrupt case termination, minimal outreach, and a gap between initial warmth and later responsiveness.
