I was recently served papers for a divorce with custody. Scared and in a panic, I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. I called around, got a few estimates. I went with Mr. Setlich and I’m glad I did. He was on top of things, worked hard. In the end I would say I was satisfied with the outcome of my case. Goods service and would recommend.

I hired Mr. Setlich to help with a separation agreement. He was very kind and understanding when it came to doing this. It was a mutual agreement, and he was quite helpful throughout the entire process. I’d recommend his legal expertise to anyone who might be seeking a qualified and skilled attorney in these matters.

Hired Attorney

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Setlich during one of the most challenging times in my life, and I couldn't have asked for a more professional and compassionate advocate. From the very first consultation, he made sure I felt heard and informed every step of the way. He took the time to understand the unique aspects of my case and provided clear, realistic guidance throughout the entire process. It was reassuring to have someone so knowledgeable and grounded in my corner. What stood out most was Mr Setlich's ability to remain calm and composed under pressure, even when negotiations became tense. He always prioritized my best interests and those of my children, balancing firmness with empathy. The final outcome was fair and allowed me to move forward with peace of mind. I highly recommend Mr Setlich to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate divorce attorney.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
