What Our Clients Say About Us
I wholeheartedly recommend Shea from the Bay City office. His professional demeanor, recommendations, and negotiation skills were instrumental in securing a favorable outcome in our mineral rights bargaining with a large solar farm project in Texas.
I had to reach out during hard times after a family member pasted for estate work, and could not have ask for better services. The services were so good and consoling that I have continued to use Kari for many other business and real estate transactions. Always responsive and professional.
Ray Kerlick and his team were great to work with to put together our estate planning. He was very patient to explain the full process, answer our many questions and concerns and the details of the estate planning to amateurs like us. Thank you Ray and Denise!
I first met John Perches in 2016. He handled my divorce. Since then I have used Wadler, Perches, Kerlick for estate planning, my will, and several other legal documents. They are solid and operate with integrity. I highly recommend them for your legal needs.
