John George and his team were beyond helpful, we were so lucky to find him. I was involved in a custody battle, and I was terrified. John was calm, intelligent, and patient with us. He knew the Law, inside out, and helped us win the case! His rates were reasonable, and fair. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an above five star attorney!

When I was younger, John George had represented me multiple times over the years.

He has always put in an honest effort to help me through the difficult court systems when I didn't understand it.

I definitely would suggest talking with him before making a decision.

If I ever needed him again he would be my first call.

Thanks again John. :)

I was amazed working with Michael. He holds so many facts in his head. But what is most amazing is his ability to conduct a persuasive argument. This is going to help you in spades. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great lawyer.

Michael Palmer, like Michael the archangel, is a fighter. He is an advocate you want by your side, whether you go to trial or in anything up to that point. His name carries weight. He can recognize, understand, and push against overreach and abuse of power when he sees it. He also has a good sense of humor and he listens to your concerns. We appreciate his staff as well.

Michael Palmer's expert defense got me a better outcome than I thought possible. His extensive courtroom experience and knowledge of the law helped me avoid a potentially career ending charge. He really came through for me at one of the lowest points in my life. Highly recommend!

Extreamly empathetic, they understand how difficult the situations are and help to the best they can.

Most professional and organized law firm I have worked with. Staff was always pleasant and friendly. Took the time for reminder calls for all hearings. Thoroughly explained my case in detail. Mr. Palmer went above and beyond. He was amazing in court and delivered with compassion and knowledge. Highly recommend this law firm.

Miss Hammond was understanding but confident. We felt well taken care of through the whole process

Experienced and talented attorneys. Look no further.

Definitely five stars. John George and his team have met every one of my expectations in two separate child custody cases now. In each case, that were years apart from each other, John accurately predicted and clearly explained how things would go and the expenses involved. Everything was handled in a prompt and professional manner from start to finish. John and Rachelle were there for me every step of the way with continuous communication through phone calls, emails, text and office meetings. While defending me in open court I have always felt safe, protected and well represented. John speaks with confidence and presents the details of the case in a calm collected manner that truly displays his years of experience and education in family law. The outcome of each case was better than I expected. Nothing but positive things to say and I can’t thank them enough.

My son and I went to John George for new parenting plan paperwork relating to my grandson. John was very professional and was able to negotiate with the other attorney several times before the court so he had reached an agreement with him on most every issue before the court. That made the court time go more smoothly and even though he did an amazing job in court , those early negotiations were able to give us almost every single thing we had asked for. His assistant also worked very hard to get everything in and to keep us informed. I would recommend John George to anyone who needs a good attorney that will fight for you!!

After being married for 10 years to the love of my life, Palmer and George Pllc made the hardest months a bit easier to deal with and they were fare, fast and considerate with their time and responses. I would strongly recommend P.G.Pllc to anyone and everyone in need of help during some of life's hardest trials.

John George at Palmer George law firm in Couer d'Alene, ID, is simply the best anyone could hope for when it comes to dealing with the criminal justice system. Caring, deeply concerned and a master at communicating with the client and the justice system, he worked nothing short of a miracle for us when we needed help. I can't say enough good things about him and his firm.

We actually chose here because they had great reviews for a relatively small business. I had called for a free consultation and had actually been able to make an appointment with Samantha Hammond. We had come from bonners ferry and chose to travel for a better experience. We left super early because there was traffic in four different areas and road construction. But we were still going to be late. I called and she said it was fine to just come in anyway. I figured we would lose part of our hour consultation anyway and would not be able to get much done. I actually wanted to turn around and go back I was so frustrated.
We did end up arriving just a little late, she saw us almost immediately and made more time before starting her next appointment that I’m sure our session was running into.
This wonderful woman sat down with us both, explained everything in detail and how it was going to go, then, when we decided we just wanted to do it and get it done, she brought in all the forms to make that possible, going over every last detail. She helped us complete the entire process when we were allotted just a consultation, and let us know exactly what to expect.
It went exactly how she had told us, was completely painless, never went over her named price point and we had not one complication throughout this entire process.
This business is amazing.
And when Ms.Hanmond could not immediately address something, her very capable and efficient staff picked it right up. We had every notice, every change brought to our attention immediately and the entire process was so painless.
I am so thankful we chose this business and would highly recommend it from personal experience.

If you need any kind of help in the legal field at all, this is your place! Michael is extremely professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and eager to help you in your stressful time of need. By far goes above and beyond. Highly recommend

John George is fantastic! I would highly recommend him!

I came to see Atty John George for a Separation Decree modification, as my ex-wife was egregiously violating my parental rights concerning time with my children due to a poorly worded decree. John talked with me on the initial free consult for well over an hour.

I was very impressed with his demonstration of both strength and compassion, and retained his services. And on the Decree Mod we pushed hard for more time with the kids not subject to my wife's veto, child support, and spousal maintenance.

My ex-responded by turning the Seperation Decree into a divorce. At first glance, I seemed totally outgunned: She was bankrolled by her well-off mother. She had a list of around a dozen witnesses who were all going to testify she was super-mom and I was an evil villain.

I couldn't afford the thousands required for an Expert Witness to testify as to why I should gain full (or at least split) custody of my second daughter. Much of my evidence was deemed hearsay as the opposing attorney invoked strict rules of evidence. And I had but one (1) witness - her probation officer. Hah.

Yet John created an extremely compelling picture as to why I should be given what I asked for with the evidence we had. This was done so well that it brought my ex to Remediation.

In remediation, I received almost everything I asked for - more time with my boys, split-custody with my second daughter, and saved several hundred dollars a month as well.

I really couldn't have asked for a better family law attorney, or for it to turn out so well - amicable, and a smooth transition for the children, as the only thing that really changed for them was more time with their dad. Which is awesome.

I give my highest recommendations to Mr. George for any family law issue, and to his entire firm. You can retain John or his partners with absolute confidence (I've retained Mr. Palmer as well for criminal defense for my daughter, where he worked wonders for her). These guys are simply fantastic at what they do.

I would highly recommend Palmer/George Law firm. I needed someone to enforce a child custody order and not be emotionally compromised during litigations by the opposition. John took on my case and helped me out. If I had any questions, John or his staff would get back to me asap. Kristy and John have always been professional and helpful with anything I needed. You're in good hands here.

Not always fun going through a divorce but John and Rachelle certainly made it easier. John laid out the options clearly for me, kept me calm when needing to make important decisions and ultimately helped me negotiate a positive outcome in a situation that could have been much worse.

I received timely responses and updates every step of the way.

Kudos to both John and Rachelle - great team!

My parents and I hired Mr. Palmer 4 years ago to help with my legal situation, and all I can say is wow. Mr. Palmer fights and fights hard, he does what's in best interest of you as the client and is so good with his words when presenting, evidence, testimony, whatever that may be. His paralegal and him are also on top of everything. We constantly got emails with updates of my situation and what the next step is. He also never missed any court hearing which you would hope for in an attorney. I highly recommending going through this law office weather its with Mr. Palmer or Mr. George. Pleasant experience, once again Thank You Mr. Palmer!!!!

I hired John George after working with another lawyer for almost a year. What a difference! John was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. He was also very aggressive dealing with my case getting things done at a much greater pace than I had experienced before. His paralegal Rachelle was also great to work with. I felt that they actually cared and where working for me. Very different than my previous experience. We got more done in a month than I got done in nearly a year with my previous lawyer. I would highly recommend John George. I only wish I had hired him to begin with.

My husband hired John George recently for a family law matter and we were very impressed with John's knowledge of the law, and with the customer service he and his paralegal Rachelle provided. They are competent, knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. I work in the legal community and would highly recommend this firm.

I was highly impressed by the professionalism of John George and his assistant Rachelle. They assisted me in a modification of my child custody, and I would recommend them to anybody seeking help with family law. The preparation leading up to trial, as well as the actual trial went even better than I had hoped. Though the opposing attorney had a reputation of being "one of the best", I was beyond grateful to have John representing me. In comparison he was prepared, organized, factual, and professional, unlike the opposing.

I hired Mike Palmer 7 months ago to be my attorney and I can't say enough great things about him. He litterly saved my life. He took his time looking into every piece of evidence and took the necessary steps to resolve my case using his knowledge of the law and his knowledge of my personal rights and how they were being violated. Mike was right from the start very honest with me and straight to the point. He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear... He told me the truth and what I should expect moving forward. He was always there's at every court date, and always able to be reached by phone or would soon after return the call. Although the process took some time if he is your attorney you can rest assured that he will see things through and justice will prevail. I would recommend Mike Paulmer to anyone in need of a criminal law lawyer without reservation. I am over the moon happy with everything he did for me and the outcome of my case.

Outstanding attorney. Stood by me the whole time through my divorce. Staff was very helpful and his assistant Amber is very knowledgeable. She is a bit intimidating but that's cause she knows what she's doing. I highly recommend Michael Palmer!

John George and his Team deserve more than 5 stars. I had John for both of my cases and with each of them, they was very helpful with any and every questions I had. John and Rachelle are both top notch and their experience and education in family court. This display is definitely noticeable in and out of the court room. the best part of it all was having that helping hand that helped me feel at ease and comfortable among that crazy period of time. Cant thank you all enough!

Best family lawyer in the area.

Mr. George and his staff are consummate professionals. My dealings tgere have been nothing short of what I paid for. Still waiting to see the outcome of a highly contested custody/divorce, but am hopeful. Will update after.

Excellent professional legal representation. Upfront thorough explanation of representation, the process and what to expect. We were very pleased with the strong representation and support we received in our decisions and the ultimate outcome of our case.

Mr. Palmer represented me very successfully during my case. He and his paralegal Ms. Morris were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Some attorneys will try to sell you a better case than you truly have in order to get more hours out of you, but I felt that Mr. Palmer was straightforward and honest throughout in his representation of my case. The process as a whole was immensely less stressful as a result of their aid, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

I couldn't have chosen someone better than Samantha Hammond at Palmer | George. She's smart, cares about her clients, knows what she is doing and has a clever approach to problem solving. If you need someone in your corner, she's the person for the job!

It's easy to see how Mr. Palmer has a 5 star rating. I am just so blown away by the service Mr. Palmer provided for me. I had worked with a half dozen other attorney's that were unable to help me find resolution. In a matter of a phone call he was able to give me the information I needed to move forward. He was polite, friendly, professional. His rates were the best around as well. I know there is a stigma when it comes to this line of work. I can promise that Palmer will shatter any predisposed opinions you may have of working with an attorney. You are doing yourself a disservice not using this firm. I wish nothing but the best for Mr. Palmer and his associates. If I could give a higher rating I would. Moving forward my family and I will be exclusively working with this firm I highly suggest you do the same. Thank you so much Palmer & George PLLC. I cannot express how eternally grateful I am to have worked with you.

Best law firm around. Very caring and understanding. Above all else, professional. I wish I could blast this name high profile to everyone and anyone in need of legal assistance. Michael Palmer is by far my first and only recommendation to anyone I come across looking for help.

We don't all anticipate having matters occur in life that require legal matters, but life happens. Samantha was respectful and professional beyond what I could have asked for or imagined. She helped navigate a situation that was life altering to say the least. Her compassion, professionalism, and expertise ultimately led to a positive resolution. I couldn't have asked for better support and representation. I would recommend Samantha and her amazing paralegal, Kristy, to all!

Good people

READ THIS!!! All I can say is this law firm is a blessing. It had been 5 months since I had seen my son. I couldn't even reach him by phone and he had been taken out of school. Hope literally seemed all but lost. I came to John George to see what he could help me through this family court jungle. He said he would do his best. I didn't realize how good his best was. He gave me the raw and honest truth that it would be an uphill battle to get visitation with my son but after doing my research I felt I was in the right place. I was literally running out of time and down to the wire to take action in my court case. His team masterfully responded with almost zero notice. They helped file a response and counter suit to the pending court action initiated by the other party. On step one, I felt like a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders. On step two, I now felt like I had a clear plan of action and new what I needed to do to help this law firm help me. I was given clear expectations and a commitment by Mr. George and his team. In the end I was fortunate to receive a extremely favorable ruling from the judge. I went from getting 1 weekend per month with my son to half of the year. His mom had pulled him out of school, and George got him back into a regular school environment, so I could help monitor his school progress and participate in his life again. Its like I went from being a secondary parent to being a father again. John George helped the judge see through all the false accusations from the other party. It felt like so many wrongs had been made right! In the end I couldn't be happier with the way he handled the case. John listens and seemed like he knew exactly what he was doing. Hiring John George to handle my case was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was like a real blessing or a miracle. If I could describe my experience in just a few words, it would probably be... "if family law was kung-fu, John George would be a Grandmaster 4th degree Blackbelt". Don't waste your time with other attorneys. Don't waste your money on consultations just to see if they want to take your case. Go to the most professional and efficient Law Firm in the region. Thank You!!!!! John and Rachelle you guys are my heros. I can finally get back to life and my family again!!!! No Words can express how grateful I feel to the experience I just had working with you guys. If your a father or mother and someone that wants the best outcome possible for "your child" get ahold of John George. You wont regret it.

Sincerely,

Chris

I could go on for hours telling you about how amazing this Law Firm is. John and Rachelle are very helpful, and I couldn't ask for more wonderful people to work with. They help me through a really rough time of my life. I am very thankful for this place and these people.

Palmer George, PLLC is the most professional law firm in North Idaho, and possible the Pacific Northwest. The attorneys are unmatched in their knowledge of Criminal, Family, and Civil Law. Their staff is knowledgeable, professional, and treat everyone with dignity and respect.

I have recently had a need for their services and was thoroughly pleased with their attention to detail, skills, and effectiveness. They do not seek to antagonize, but strive for positive results.

In the course of my employment I have worked with over 25 attorneys in five different states and Canada, and Palmer George, PLLC is my first recommendation when I'm asked for a referral.

After talking ro numorous people in Idaho to help with our custody case we hit a brick wall. Our attorney in Reno talked to John George and he decided to go far beyond our case and investigate our unique situation and decided he could help. He helped us through and won our case and didnt charge us an arm and leg to do it. The office support is wonderful also. The girls are very helpful. We will be using their law office again in the future. Thank you John George.

John George and his team were incredibly supportive during the most difficult time of my life acting as my advocate and making sure I understood the process and prepared me for long run. I highly recommend them for your family law needs!

The abosolute best, do hire anyone else!

I hired Michael G. Palmer of Palmer/George Law firm as my criminal attorney. In a criminal case it is important to establish a time line. Michael’s meticulous attention to detail did just that, allowing for a very congested mound of facts, figures, specifics, and hearsay to all be succinctly aligned to tell a story to the jury. He surrounds himself with a very skilled, efficient, tenacious staff and consultants, who will in turn, benefit you as the client. His staff’s courtroom preparation was spot on and Mr. Palmer’s professional interaction, clear communication to the jury, witness, and judge surpassed all expectations. One hears constant recommendations for him or her as a “good attorney,” but when it comes to Michael G. Palmer, he IS one of the top Criminal Lawyers in the state, and he proves it on a consistent basis.

Samantha Hammond, Doris Lunceford, and the entire staff are professional and caring with a tenacious determination to represent their clients with excellent legal prowess. I could not have asked for better people to represent me and I am so grateful to them for working so hard to achieve a positive outcome for myself and my family.

Samantha Hammond recently represented me for a child custody case. She is a pleasure to work with. Sam listens well and remembered all of the details of the case. She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole difficult process. Sam radiates confidence and her gentle side made me feel safe when I was feeling vulnerable. Her presence next to me during court helped me feel grounded, more comfortable and reassured that I would make it through this painful process. I was so thankful to have her by my side.

I highly recommend Samantha Hammond because she has not only the expertise to navigate the system, but the strength of heart to do the right thing. Sam truly enjoys helping people, and has chosen the perfect career to do so. I am very thankful for the time she spent working with me on my case.

Simply the BEST defensive attorney in the Northwest!

Mike Palmer is a defense attorney "force to be reckoned with"! Not only is he extremely professional, qualified and experienced, he also has an AMAZING and UNMATCHED presence and demeanor in a trial setting. I have a close friend who was falsely accused of a horrible crime and he and his staff handled the entire case as a real pro and got her an extremely fast acquittal from the jury. To quote my husband..."Watching him in the courtroom was mesmerizing....Mike was BORN to do this!" He is extremely intelligent and well-versed in the law. I highly recommend him! He is worth his weight in gold!

Michael Palmer is a fantastic lawyer and very knowledgeable in his profession. He fought hard to get me a fair deal and made me feel at ease with the whole court process. I highly recommend Michael Palmer if you want a lawyer with integrity that is not afraid to stand up for your rights.

I picked John after calling around shopping for lawyers and I made the correct choice. I was then working with his para-legal Rachelle who was simply outstanding. If you are looking for a professional team they are the best in town.

I am very pleased with John George at CDA law office! I'd recommend this office to anyone involving custody cases. I've never had to go through this before and they made me feel confident about everything I have went through! Love this office​!

John has represented me on a few different occasions in the past for both divorce/custody as well as legal issues. The office staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and timely in their responses. John is not only knowledgeable in law, but his personable approach to his clients is what sets him apart. John is good about getting back to you quickly with the answers and information you need. I appreciated his caring nature and genuine approach to the legal issues I was dealing with. I would highly recommend using John (this law office) for your legal issues.

John George represented me in a child custody modification proceeding. Mr, George was very professional and well prepared. He always presented my case well in court during the various hearings that were held. The entire office staff was also very professional and courteous. If ever I had a question to be answered, Mr. George always promptly returned my calls and emails. Overall, my experience was very positive considering that it was a difficult and emotionally draining situation. The entire office always made me feel at ease that the matter was being handled diligently. I recommend anyone who is looking to hire a family law attorney in North Idaho to give Palmer George & Taylor a call.

John George the best lawyer ever he helped us through some very hard times to get our grandbaby so it took us awhile but we did it and and we are her Guardians now thank you John George we love you

John George has represented me in different cases over the last 4 years. From the first time walking into their office, I was comfortable and felt they all were there to help me. John doesn't miss a detail nor does his assistant Rachelle. Between adoption and custody, John has been behind it all for us. As we are in our fourth year since my husband was able to legally adopt my son, we still remember the man behind helping us through it all! I would recommend John or anyone else in his office for any matter.

John handled my case with professionalism and personal attention. He worked closely with me to obtain a favorable outcome for me. I would not hesitate to use them in the future for civil or criminal matters.

John is an excellent attorney. Did exactly what he said he could do for us. No hidden costs. Very up front an honest. I highly recommend him and will use him in the future.

Very friendly staff. They cared about my situation and bent over backwards to help me. I couldn't be more greatful and would recommend this firm to anyone!

We are so pleased with the firm of Palmer, George & Taylor. My husband had been fighting a legal battle with his ex-wife that had gone on for over six years. In that time, he’d had at least two other firms represent him and each time he ended up on “the short end of the stick”. Previous counsel seemed to not even care and my husband had pretty much given up. We decided to try one more time to get everything ironed out and we chose Palmer, George and Taylor. It wasn’t easy, but John George did not give up, even with a difficult situation. Throughout the course of the case, we were always informed (either by the staff or usually by John himself) and at no point did we wonder what was going on. Calls and emails were returned promptly and we felt very assured that we had the best representation that we could get. In the end, we obtained a resolution to several outstanding and complicated matters. Thank you for all that you did for us!

I could not ask for more from this law firm. I sincerely appreciate them representing me in my Idaho charge, because they looked at every angle of my case. I was terrified, but they guided me through, and were with me every step of the way to get my charge dismissed. Thank you John George!

Highly professional lawyers. My experience with John George was very positive. When you need a lawyer, what you need is someone who not only knows his business but who inspires confidence through efficiency and a complete understanding of our legal system. John is proactive to ensure that all bases are covered ahead of time so that your case is well prepared and well presented. Thanks, John!

I have used this law firm for the past 15+ years. Their integrity, timliness and professionalism keep me coming back. I would highly recommended them for your legal matters.

John George handled the custody situation of my son. He was fantastic. He was supportive all the way through the process, and explained everything to me, in English so I understood! He is amazingly quick with his responses via email. I had dealt with other attorney offices prior to hiring John and got very frustrated with lack of communication. It was amazing to me how the other offices had no problems sending bills, but couldn't figure out how to communicate about my case. I have to say, everyone that I worked with in John's office, either knew what was going on with my case, or within a minute or two, knew and always had correct answers for me. I highly recommend Palmer George and Taylor, you won't be sorry.

I recently had the pleasure of working with John George and Rachelle (Assistant), and I absolutely would recommend their services to anyone needing reliable, honest and prompt services. I live in Virginia, and working with Mr. George in handling matters across the country and representing me in court, and getting the documentation I needed was a complete "hands free" experience. John gave me the facts of the case, the options at hand, and how he could handle them without "sugar coating" any of it, just point blank outcomes, which I appreciated fully. John George cleared me of my past dealings, and re-established me in good standing with the Department of Defense. Thank you again, John!!

Outstanding group of lawyers and legal staff! I have worked personally with several of the lawyers at Palmer George & Taylor and cannot tell you how impressed I am with their willingness to fight and win. They are true advocates for anyone in need of legal representation. Anyone in need of an attorney should look no further than Palmer George & Taylor - you will not be disappointed.

If I could give John George more than 5 stars on this review I would! His knowledge of the judicial system, and outstanding skills as a lawyer have helped me though many tough spots. I've found his professionalism and attention to detail in trying circumstances (trying for me) has always been truly outstanding.

Mike Palmer and John George are two of the greatest attorney's I've ever met. They put in a lot of effort on their cases and it shows. You can trust their office for any legal advice!

Great experience with Mr. Palmer! Truley does his work to get some justice. He drastically helped reduce my husbands DUI that he did not deserve. Highly recommend him as your lawyer!

Very friendly group of people with a great looking, comfortable office.
