Craig Elhart did an absolute terrible job representing through my case and I will NEVER refer anyone to him.
Dena Horvath briefly represented me in a divorce which blindsided me in which my 3 year old child was taken from me. In the first week of her service Ms. Horvath lost her temper with me over the phone and began to curse at me. I would not tolerate that type of unprofessional behavior from someone paid to represent my best interest. All I wanted was equal rights to my child in a case where not even temporary custody had been established yet. The best Ms. Horvath did for me was to get a single weekend visitation even though my wife had no more legal rights to our child then I did. I strongly feel she did not adequately advocate for me or my child. I terminated her services and sought representation elsewhere. I posted an initial review that Ms. Horvath deemed as defamatory and threatened me with a law suit. At the point I posted that initial review, Ms. Horvath had not returned my retainer fee, minus her services to that point. She has in fact returned a portion of my funds since that time. I still am extremely unsatisfied with her services and would encourage anybody else to do their research before obtaining Ms Horvath's services.

Absolutely love everything about this law office. They are the most genuine lawyers I've ever met and I've seen firsthand how they go above and beyond the call of duty as well as being fair fee wise and working with people to make payment arrangements. By far #1

The first time I saw Craig in action was during mediation with my ex-husband and his attorney. I was broken, weak, anxious, tired, emotional and unarmed. We walked in and sat down and immediately Craig took charge. It was perfectly clear to everyone in the room who was running the show… And I will NEVER forget it and always be grateful to have Craig Elhart represent on my behalf. I knew then, he was the Man.
Through the years Craig has represented myself and my family on different occasions and has always come through, for which we all are grateful.
My mantra from Craig is "Let go and let Craig" and I have used it more than once. Putting your life, or what feels like it, into someone else's hands is very vulnerable. Knowing Craig is in charge keeps me confident and I know my only job is to remember that no matter what, everything will be alright.
He has taught me that law is not about emotion...the client is. His direct words to me were "law is about logic and doing the right thing all the time and win or lose, you can live with yourself." Well I'm here to tell you, if Craig can't win a case, no one can! Craig Elhart is a business man and a family man, professional, focused, confident, hospitable, calm and empathetic. As he is a man of few words, they are profound and purposeful, like it Warriors weapons for victory!
I am always confident and self-assured knowing Craig is in my corner and I have learned to let him do his job because he's damn good at it!!!
PS As I've read several of the reviews, I have noticed a few writers referencing that Mr. Elhart is hard to get in touch with… If I may, Craig is out defending the majority the of his days and Judy and the other ladies on his staff do an amazing job at answering questions, relaying important information and messages, which is assuring. And I am here to tell you, if you need to see him personally, he will ALWAYS make time for you!

Our family has been so fortunate to find a law firm that would stick with our legally complicated and drawn out case. Mr. Elhart and his staff have given generously of their time, to comb through piles of documents, in an effort to understand how best to protect and stabilize vulnerable children. His knowledge of the law and ability to apply it our case, has helped create a more stable life for children.

Craig is professional, well respected in our community and surrounding areas, well educated & highly recommended.
He is sweet, patient, quick witted but don't let that fool you, he fights like a bull dog. When the opposing party finds out you have hired Craig, they know immediately, you have hired the best. (If there is an opposing party)
Having to appear in court, hire attorney's can seem intimidating to most of us, what I like about Craig is that he makes you feel like all be alright. I felt protected and secure each time. He makes you feel like family. I never had to worry about anything, he just took care of it. Let me give you a quick example of what I mean:
My last case was somewhat complex. I never once lost sleep, did not stress, did not talk about it, simply put I just was not worried about it after I hired Craig. The other party on the other hand, was stressed to the max, barely slept, gave up their weekly events, basically this persona gave up a lot until this case was over. My point, you don't have to worry when you hire Craig. His entire team is amazing!
I am so impressed with Craig that I have also now hired his firm to represent my two businesses. Every successful business should have an attorney on hand. Craig will be providing vital assistance in almost every aspect of my businesses, from compliance, formal business incorporation, potential liability issues, to some of the smaller tasks like drawing up simple forms that will essentially protect myself and my businesses.
TRUST ME....Craig is NOT all about the money as I have seen some suggest that is all he cares about.
I trust Craig and highly recommend him.

Beware of this "House of Hens" claiming to be in the Legal business. Elhart will migrate to the case with the most money at stake and leave you behind as he did my prior wife. In fact she has went on to get another Lawyer to clean up and finish the job his wife (offfice Mgr.) and female assistants couldn't do. So if your spouse chooses this "Clown" then you yourself can feel comfortable. He saves all his work until the last minute and therefore always unprepared. My counsel had to clean up the final agreeement just before entering court (good thing he brought along a correct set of copies) as they (who were responsible) couldn't get it right just prior to entering court! even after corrections were given to them prior. Traverse City you have a lot of good choices in individuals and even better real Firms. I can't even imagine them trying a real leagal matter outside of Divorce.
