Katie Cooper was fantastic! She reviewed a few legal documents for me and broke down the legal jargon and made it easier for me to understand what I was signing. She communicated quickly and thoroughly throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for her help! I will absolutely reach out to her and Cornerstone again if I need legal assistance in the future. Thank you, Katie!

Samantha

I had Katie Cooper review a separation agreement and help determine whether I had a case for wrongful termination. She was incredibly thorough and was able to answer all the questions I had. She was very professional but also very empathetic and showed compassion for my situation. That said, she didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, she told me what I needed to hear, and that helped me make informed decisions. I was very happy with her services and would recommend her and Cornerstone Law Firm to anyone dealing with employer issues of any kind.

Erik Collins

Highly recommend! I was in a bind and Ryan Paulus and his team were incredible. He truly cared and gave me his 100% honest opinion, whether I liked it or not, which immediately put me more at ease. That’s who you want for a lawyer. If, unfortunately, I ever need a lawyer again, the relief to know I have found Ryan and this firm is irrefutable.

Courtney Warner

Katherine Cooper was very communicative and professional helping me to understand my rights and options. She did a great job answering questions and helping me to feel at ease with my situation.

All the advertisements you've ever heard about finding a lawyer and that it's an important decision on who you pick are actually very true and crucial to the outcome.
I'm so glad I went with Cornerstone Law firm. My lawyer, Ryan Paulus(and his team) , was like a pit bull, once he grabbed on to my case, he never let go. He was ready to go all the way to trial with confidence, but didn't have to because the other side could tell he was serious, and it was just.
Ryan doesn't go with just any case, but he will consult you, and he will be honest in what he believes will hold up in the court of law. It's the way it's supposed to work in the legal system. I had honest, professional, and knowledgeable advice. You don't have to feel like the world is on your shoulders, because you've probably already been through enough as it is, if you do have a justifiable claim. Thank you Cornerstone Law. I can now move forward with my life feeling whole again.

I had an amazing experience working with Katherine Cooper. She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. From start to finish, she made everything clear and easy to understand, always taking the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence every step of the way. She was a pleasure to work with—I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Myles Ortiz

It was an extremely positive experience working with Megan Stiles, Marc Middleton and the rest of the team at Cornerstone Law Firm! I am so glad they were on my side! I quickly found that Megan is very experienced, ethical and professional, but also caring and kind. She really listened to my situation. Megan was very patient with me as I brought my questions and concerns to her and as I took time to gather all the information that she needed for my case. I really appreciated this. Megan is an invaluable asset to the Cornerstone team and she really made a huge difference! Megan and Marc worked effectively with the mediator and the opposing counsel to find a great settlement solution that was very reasonable! Megan was willing to explain reasons for things that would’ve otherwise been difficult to understand. She also helped me to see all my actual options at any given time during the process, and she was realistic about all the possible outcomes and the overall timelines. Megan remained positive and steady about reaching a good settlement solution even when the mediation seemed to be locked up for a while. I am extremely grateful for the experience and the hard work from Megan, Marc and the rest of their team! Thank you!

Curtis Lewis

This team of people is the MOST professional, well-mannered, and educated lawyers in the game. Their intake employee Tim is warm and thorough, kind and inquisitive, and so willing to help in every way he can. These people go above and beyond to restore justice and they truly care about the citizens they serve. I will always recommend Cornerstone!
