Mr. Totten was recommended to me when I knew nothing about any lawyers in the area and was very unfamiliar with the court system. He is a very kind and down to earth kind of guy, and he explains legal terms and the process in ways you can understand. He is a very straight forward attorney and will communicate what he thinks is best as far as your needs are concerned. He impressed me from the start by pulling another attorney in to team with him on my case, and I do believe those two worked very hard on my case and really fought to get me a good outcome. My outcome could have been very bleak, but they fought and continued to fight for the best outcome for me because I truly believe they had my best interests at heart. They worked with me and with my family and helped get me through a very tough situation in many ways. I would definitely recommend Mr. Totten for your legal needs! Many thanks to him and his team for the work they accomplished on my case!

My husband and I recently needed a lawyer for some custody issues. John came very highly recommended and he did not disappoint. John and Bridget helped my husband and I every step of the way and answered every question and of course it led to a victory. I highly recommend John and his team for any of your legal needs.

I hired Mr.Totten and his team for my custody case. He and his team made the process easy and weight lifting. Bridgett was the best help and very responsive. She was honest with throughout the whole process. I respect that they put my daughter’s need first and above. Mr. Totten and his team were amazing and I am beyond grateful to have had such an amazing team in my corner during the most scariest moment of my life. I thank you all tremendously for all the hard work and support.

Before my divorce my husband told me he would get custody of the kids and I would be paying him child support. I spoke to at least 2 or 3 other attorneys who told me it wouldn't go anywhere and that I should just settle for what he wanted. When I went to Mr. Totten's office he and his team took time to listen to my story and walk through every detail. Every day we were in constant contact and Bridgett was especially helpful when I started to panic. I felt like my voice was heard they worked very hard on my behalf. When it was over I got custody of my kids, child support, my house and all the equity on it - all the things I had been previously told I wouldn't get. Mr. Totten and his team work very hard for their clients and take time to connect with them on a personal level and go above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better team to work with and I'm so thankful for them all. Thank you so much.

If you are looking for an attorney to file with the court system, then John is OK. He is more reactive then proactive and seems intimidated by the other...
