What recent reviews say

Clients consistently describe Walton Legal as thorough, respectful, and easy to work with. Attorney Carrie Breedlove and paralegal Margaret stand out for treating people with patience and dignity while handling complex cases. Staff explain steps in plain English, answer questions quickly, and follow through on filings. Reviewers often note relief and peace of mind after finishing their bankruptcy or debt cases.

The firm serves individuals filing Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy, fighting debt collection, and seeking garnishment defense. They cite speediness in processing (one client discharged within three months of filing). Many reviewers mention low fees as a plus, and the team's non-judgmental approach appears especially valued by clients who feel shame about their financial situation.

Law Office of Steven Lovern

4.3(49)✓ Google-verified

When Mr. Lovern is actively working a case, clients report quick call returns, clear explanations of complex legal issues, and successful resolutions. His estate planning and bankruptcy work drew consistent praise for thoroughness and honesty. Multiple recent reviews, however, describe months of silence on phone calls and emails, cases abandoned without notice, and dismissive responses when clients finally reach him. The disparity suggests significant inconsistency in case management or availability. Two one-star reviews from recent months and a two-star from a week ago document ongoing issues with unresponsiveness and case abandonment. Earlier five-star reviews (mostly a year old) praise his work on estates, powers of attorney, and bankruptcy, with clients noting his willingness to adapt schedules and answer follow-up questions. The tension between these patterns raises questions about whether the office can reliably handle its current caseload.

When reachable, Jay Meisenhelder delivers solid legal guidance and real results, especially in employment and civil rights disputes. Several five-star reviews praise his responsiveness, expertise, and ability to ease clients through stressful processes. However, a consistent thread of one-star reviews warns of unanswered messages, missed meetings, and long communication gaps, with some clients reporting he took payment but left them stranded for months.

Arlene Kline earns strong reviews for probate and estate work, with clients consistently praising her knowledge, honesty, and willingness to explain complex matters clearly. Two older reviews flag communication lapses, but the recent pattern (including a five-star review from a month ago) shows consistent attentiveness and reasonable fees that set her apart in estate planning and administration.
