Lance Thurman is an excellent attorney. He clearly defines the process so that you can understand the path forward. He works extremely had in the interests of his client. Anybody that asks me who to see about criminal, civil or real estate law in Phelps County, Missouri, I confidently recommend Mr. Thurman.

Ms. Woodward, now Woodward-Guffey, believes in getting the matter resolved in a way that everyone can accept. She is willing to listen and is willing to offer suggestions to help resolve the matter. She understands the necessity of compromise, but still looks out for her client. As she does a lot of family law, she understands that, in many cases, settling the matter is better for everyone in the long run.

I have been practicing for over thirty years, in several different states, including the last 19 here. Carolyn and I have had several cases. In addition, I have observed her in court on multiple occasions, representing her clients. In my opinion, Carolyn is the best family law attorney in the state. She is also very active in the family law practice, volunteering to teach, as well as serving on local family practice committees. She is a highly skilled, true professional.

Mr. Rigler not only represented us well, but also provided counsel and advice. He was always clear, candid (very) and seemed to know when we were not clear on a point. He was very professional in dealing with everyone involved. I would certainly recommend Mr. Rigler to anyone seeking counsel.
