- I went to Ernest Law Group for a consultation about my case involving my daughter’s mom and me. My daughter has been abused by her mom and stepdad, I told Attorney Catherine Deist my situation and how difficult it was for me to deal with that. Ms. Deist not only understood my needs and goals, but represented me with the highest level of professionalism and values. She totally exceeded my expectations and I got more than I could ask for. Her firm was very good about everything they did for me. I will be eternally grateful.... VIEW ALL

- I gave Mrs. Ernest five stars because throughout the entire process she or either her legal assistant kept me update with the progress of my case. Me having been stationed overseas this worried me a little but I did not have any issues. I felt comfortable from the moment I retained Mrs. Ernest as my lawyer. I went to at least two or three lawyers prior to coming to this firm. I felt like they really took pride in every case they took on. VIEW ALL

- I'd vouch for this firm any day. Attorney Ernest is very compassionate. I hired her 2 weeks or less before my custody appeal from out of state, so I never had the pleasure of meeting her until my hearing. With the little 2 weeks she was given, she kept me informed, was honest, prepared well and made me feel very confident about my case. She explained to me the pros/ cons and advised me like no other. Attorney Ernest is very caring and went over and beyond .... VIEW ALL

- This was my first time utilizing a lawyer for anything and Ms. Catherine Deist went above and beyond to help. She was caring and helpful and provided me with all of my legal my options as well as specific quotes for my case. She made a painful situation manageable and I will forever be grateful to her.

- Ms. Ernest is extremely motivated in representing her client. She understood my immigration issues and helped save me time and money by advising me on things I could do myself instead of her charging me to do them. This is amazing and not at all what the "attorney" stereotype is. She is also not intimidated by things outside of her control (for instance, dealing with immigration clerks). She was also able to successfully speed up my process by getting an immigration ombudsman ... VIEW ALL
