  I cannot even begin to put into words how incredible my experience with Legal Aid has been. Divorce Court is a nightmare I never intended to deal with but I'm so happy to have had the team I did to help me through it. I may not have always heard what I *wanted* to hear but I was always given the best advice for my situation and for that I am so grateful. My advice is to trust the process, stay as calm as you can, and have faith in your counsel!

  I've never heard back from them pertaining to my problems with my apartment complex. I contacted them after not hearing back from either of the Ordinance Enforcement Officers for Oshtemo Township on 7275 W. Main Street, Kalamazoo, MI 49009. I've emailed them twice since I was flooded by my neighbors sewage flooding my basement and countless attempts to my landlord to fix damages after I moved in. In November of last year I had an Enforcement Officer and a member of management out to do a walk through of my apartment. I expressed my concerns that I haven't had a lock on my back slider since I moved in. I also explained that there has been 4 floods on my basement up to that point 3 of which were caused by a single problem of a pipe from the A/C being clogged. When explaining this particular situation I was told to build shelves to protect my property. I was flabbergasted when the Enforcement Officer said that's how he prevents this in his home. I asked if he owned or rented, he owns. I pay rent and if I would have received prompt service from experienced maintenance I wouldn't need to go without a water heater for 3 days or have to purchase 2 dehumidifiers and and industrial fan to keep the basement dry and clean. Either way I wish someone would call me back because I've been going through a lot and only receive letters from my landlord about violations pertaining to my dogs which are emotional support animals. I've received 3 letters over the last year and each coordinate with a complaint I have with maintenance. I also have received 2 notices for 2 of my cars one had a flat tire and the other was expired plats for a car I wasn't using (my college son's car). I've looked through the parking lots and have seen disabled vehicles on top of not being registered that have been that way for months without a notice attached to those vehicles. I need help please. I've never paid my rent late, I receive a payment on the 3rd of the month to which my rent is automatically charg

  Poor management likely results in your case not going anywhere. Spent over a year trying to get help, and now they just leave me in the dirt with no emails, no calls, nothing. Very disappointing, do not attempt to use these people.

  After reading the last 2 reviews ( And the one I'm writing now.) seems as though the last 8 months things have changed.( Based the reviews from before that.) So what's changed there? Now on to my review. I was under the impression that a lawyer would come to our house to see Kate ( my wife.) and I. Unfortunately that was the wrong impression. Trying to keep this review nice, however it's hard to be nice when the help you seek is more of a pain than a help. I think the best way to end this review is hire an attorney plan and simple. Use them at your own pearle. In my opinion I think it about stats for them. "Don't take a case you think you can't win". Is an awful approach to take. Hopefully they can fix whatever happened there 8 months ago. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Mr. Sonny T. Bimbo

  This place is awesome. They took my case and was able to allow me to keep my home. I would highly recommend this office. I had a wonderful caring attorney assigned to my case. They really care about people. That is why I gave a 5 star . Very deserving of 5 stars. Thank y'all so much!! 😊

  They don't care or help people period. Ive reached out multiole times and am homeless and have been turned down 100% of the time when even state laws say I have a case. I was abused $18,000 stolen from lost wages and lost everything and they still wouldn't help. This place needs to be shut down based on they just do this for the funds while hardly ever taking cases that are deserving of help. The guy who runs the place is buddy's with the court workers so if they do anything corrupt and you mention it they will stick up for the corruption of the person and say "I dont think they would" even though they did. Why have these programs if you dont help people in need?

  The receptionist was beyond rude and condescending. I have never asked them for help before.. i've tried other means andI haven't gotten no help in 3 1/2 years so my stress level was high and by her treating me like garbage like Black people don't matter it's gonna bring more harm then good to that company…. if she does that to the wrong person, I do not recommend using the services in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Michigan black lives don't matter to them!!!!!!!
