I recently had the opportunity to work with this exceptional law firm that I discovered through LegalShield, and I feel compelled to share my experience. From the outset, the professionalism and dedication exhibited by the team, especially Greg, my attorney, were truly remarkable.

Without delving into specifics, I want to emphasize the meticulous attention to detail and the genuine care with which they handled my case. Greg, in particular, provided outstanding support and guidance, ensuring that I felt heard, understood, and valued as a client. His expertise not only brought about a positive resolution but also instilled a sense of confidence and peace of mind throughout the process.

What stood out most was the firm's commitment to treating my situation with the utmost seriousness, coupled with their ability to foster an environment of trust and open communication. The level of engagement and the quality of the discussions we had were incredibly reassuring, making a typically daunting legal process seem much more navigable.

I am profoundly grateful for the support I received and cannot recommend this law firm highly enough. For anyone in need of legal assistance, you would be hard-pressed to find a team more capable, compassionate, and committed to their clients' best interests. Rest assured, I will be turning to Greg and his colleagues for any future legal guidance, confident in their ability to provide exemplary service.

Thank you, Greg, and the entire team, for your exceptional assistance. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and I look forward to our continued partnership.

This office is horrible. My mother wanted a second set of ears when she talking with this office and they refused to speak to her because SHE wanted someone to listen in. They insisted on a power of attorney for the person my mom requested present. These demands are unrealistic. There's no need for a p.o.a.. Possibly a confidentiality issue but not even that. It's like going to the doctor and having an extra set of ears present. It's not any concern of this office who a member chooses to have present. I would NEVER recommend Riling, Burkhead, and Nitcher! Represent yourself before you bother with this place. There are plenty of qualified attorneys that are happy to help a client.

I have worked with Mike Riling and other attorneys and staff at the firm for nearly 30 years. We have sent our Louisiana clients to them when they have had issues involving Kansas law. The firm is professional, more than competent, friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this firm.

This is an assigned attorney group. They come with the membership of Legalshield. Communication is not great and don't expect them to get aggressive and really get on your side in legal matters. They do basic things are and very low key on what they do get done.

This firm is a complete joke. They claim to be a legal shield provider, yet they are trying to charge me for a simple referral. I asked for representation in an expungement matter, to which they wanted 900 dollar retainer, when the defense of the matter did not cost near that. So I asked for a referral, they refused the referral unless I had the 900 dollars they had first demanded. I hope anyone thinking of using this firm, makes a wise decision to search elsewhere

Bobbie did a great job helping us with sorting out legal issues. She went above what she needed to so we could actually understand our options. We appreciate their firm and their care for their clients. I have also had the chance to work with Mr. Currie. He too has been helpful on multiple issues on completely different issues. I am thankful to their team in downtown Lawrence. They are always accessible and never act frustrated or annoyed with my multiple questions.

I got linked up with Greg Gietzen at this law firm through Legal Shield. I believe this was my first time seeking legal advice, and as I was asking the same question in 3 diff states, I spoke to 3 diff attorneys. Greg was, far and away, the best of the 3. He made an effort to understand the question on our first conversation, got back to me in a timely manner, and when I asked for case law, i.e. something in writing proving his point, he provided me a great case that was basically a perfect fit. Based on my experience working for a litigation vendor as a younger man, and the fact that Greg has only had his law degree for 3 years, I expect he'll continue to hone his skills and improve at his craft.

I am a military veteran I have paid for Legal Shield membership for over 10 years, the one time that I needed my services for a tax suit the attorneys I was forced to use, Riling Burkhead and Nitcher in Kansas, refused to send my Missouri case to Dubail Judge in MO, where I used to reside which is where trial would also take place, not Kansas. As a veteran I also called in to have them work another case which was a veteran matter, and for a second time I was given the lowest rate lawyer service I could imagine. When the attorney called me on that matter he stated he couldn't even remember where he read part of the law he was quoting to me as legal advice. This was the managing partner of that firm. How can anyone expect the legal advice they get as sound advice when the attorney can't remember where he read something he's advising you on? Now further into my case, when I filed a complaint with legal shield corporate they sided with the law firm, further to that, when I stated if they would not review the actions they took not following Legal Shield Procedure for referral on out of state cases, I would get my money back that I payed in. I filed a my complaint because the advice that the Kansas Firm gave me, was incorrect and misleading, they wanted the case off their book to just get paid is how it seemed to me. Because I had to learn of the procedure form the opposing counsel and judge, not the attorneys who were supposed to be advising me. If they would have sent me to the lawyers I had requested and should have been sent to, the advice and counsel I would have received would have been better. But instead, Legal Shield Cancelled my membership stating "Company Decision", no one called me, emailed me, not to mention this was directly after the Lawyer Mike Riling, said he would call me back on Thursday with an update to the law he couldn't remember that he had just read, when in reality they worked with Legal Shield on Wednesday to cancel my membership. So I had 300 hours of trial defense, gone, no refund, I have two legal matters that I now have to hire other attorneys for all because I put my trust in Legal Shield to be there when I needed it. But when I threatened to use my membership which I was actively trying to save for issues like this, they cancel it because of what? Because I threatened to give you legal matters, especially a Veteran issue?! Yet cancel a member after over a decade of paying for your services and then be told, sucks to be YOU! That is my experience with Legal Shield and Riling Burkhead and Nitcher in Kansas, Legal Shield refuses to tell me the reason for cancellation, refuses to refund me, refuses to respond, and refuses to respond to the BBB. That is the company I paid money to for over a decade. I strongly urge anyone to consider any other service or firms before putting your faith in this company that they will be there when you need them.
