Hired Attorney Justin Riem

I had a very complicated situation and Justin was amazing throughout the entire process. He made sure that I understood all of my options, and always answered my questions quickly, even outside of his normal hours. I hope I don’t ever need his services again, but if I do, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

Justin was an amazing advocate for me at a very difficult time in my life. He was knowledgeable, quick to respond to questions, and willing to put in the work to make sure I got the resolution I wanted.

Attorney Justin D. Riem worked on my case. If this man is not working on your case you should fear him. He has an extraordinary gift, he senses people, he takes time to understand you, your motives, your goals, and he will be at all times be upfront and honest with you. I came to him stressed, with a butt load of papers and drowned fully on uncertainty and completely powerless, surrounded by a web of lies that was the perception my ex-wife built with help of her attorney who sided on her lies vs understanding the overall picture. Justin took his time and worked with his team during extenuating hours dissecting, reading, understanding, putting a case together and along all that communicating with me. Short story, he turned my divorce around, he gave me back my little ones. Time and time again when I was thinking there was no turn around this man made it happen. I will be forever thankful by what he made happen and I will always continue referring people to him and his team.

After going through 2 other firms who dropped the ball, we were able to find John & Justin to take on our case. They were very prompt on communication and thorough in making sure we understood the languages and rules of law throughout. We genuinely felt they were looking out for us and fought for what we deserved. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for legal representation. These guys are not only good lawyers, they are great people!

Hired Attorney Laura J. Lemos

I recently worked with Laura Lemos on my case and had a truly positive experience. She is responsive, attentive, and genuinely listens. I really appreciated how she took the time to understand my concerns and acknowledged them thoughtfully. Her knowledge and experience with the law are evident, but what stood out most was how supported and heard I felt throughout the process. For these reasons, I would work with her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer who combines skill with care and attention.

Hired Attorney Laura J. Lemos

I had the best experience with Laura. I was in the middle of going through a divorce and fighting for custody of my children. As Laura had to work with my ex-husband because he represented himself and was not the easiest to handle, she did a fantastic job fighting for me and doing everything that she could. Anytime I had question for her and Samantha they were always there to help and responded promptly. I will continue to use Laura for anything going forward. Laura helped me prove that I should have the custody that I was asking for. We won the case, and I will be forever grateful for all the hard work they put into helping me.

I had an excellent experience working with Justin. He assisted me with both my child custody and contempt cases. His knowledge, responsiveness, and guidance made a stressful situation much more manageable. He was upfront and honest, communicated clearly, provided practical expectations, and made me feel supported. He consistently stayed on top of important deadlines, kept me informed, and was invested in achieving the best outcome for my family. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of quality legal representation.

Hired Attorney Justin Riem

Justin handled my divorce/custody case for me just recently. I came to him terrified, uneducated, and worst, the fear of not being with my children. Justin had a way of making me feel at ease, even considering the situation. He worked efficiently and in a timely manner to make sure that my case was solid. When our court date neared, Justin reached out to try one last mediation to avoid trial. My case went down to the last second. He pushed and fought for what he knew I wanted, and what ss right. In the end, it was clear what was most important to my ex. We settled out of court, and I whole heartedly believe I won. Of course, I dont believe anyone in these situations win, but my children are my life, and Justin knew that. He did everything he could to make sure the kids remained in the safest, most reliable hands that they could be. Justin gave me my life back. Even thought it is a much different life, I couldn't be any happier! I would 100% recommend Justin over and over!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
