James and Cheryl worked very closely with me from July of 2022 until January of 2023. They kept me informed of everything that was going on in my case and explained it in a way I could understand and know what my next steps would be. They were attentive and responsive to my questions via email and phone. I would recommend them to anyone in the area. Thank you both for all of your help!

Honored to have had you as an Attorney God Bless
- Marcel Hardin
Very knowledgeable and experienced. Handled my case from the beginning to the very end. He gave me 1 set price and not once after did he require any more money from me
- Sherri Taylor
Mr. Tamke's office has been a sure help in a time when my financial stability was quickly slipping away. With no clue of how to stop the downfall or where I might find assistance I asked a couple I know about where I might start to look. Mr. Tamke was recommended to me and though it was hard work and sure discipline, it has been worth it. I would recommend Mr. Tamke's law office if you're looking for assistance to get financially back on track. I found them to be honest, fair and upfront. Easy to contact and timely with responses. Also they are local and treated me well as their client. I thank you and your staff Mr. Tamke. Sherri Taylor
