DeMent & Marquardt, PLC

"When Michelle was here it was a great place now that she has retired not so much. Talked to Hanna and she was great and told us it would only cost about $160 to copy off 2 forms we needed (these forms had been copied so many times they were fading). She left and William Millard took over Hanna's accounts said it would be $450. When my wife asked him a couple of questions he tacked on another $100. Now we just a bill in the mail for another $100 with no expiation as to why. Do not recommend these people. We will be going elsewhere moving forward."

"My husband and I created our full estate plan with Tyler - the process that seemed overwhelming to us before we met with him was made much easier and much less intimidating as he guided us through the process and decisions we needed to make. I would 100% recommend Tyler for anyone considering setting up an estate plan."

"Charlie helped me with a Medicaid and Special Needs Trust problem for my daughter yesterday. I'll be requesting to work with him from now on. He's kind, patient and very knowledgeable. He knows how to explain things and didn't talk way over my head. Great experience for a nervous Mom."

"The team at DeMent & Marquardt helped with estate planning for my parents, my wife's parents, and now ours. They are always there to answer questions and have helped guide us through some difficult times. We are very thankful to have such a great and reliable resource in a city the size of Kalamazoo. Many of the successful people in our sphere of influence recommended this firm and now we understand why. We have seen and heard of others opt to go different routes with their planning only to run into way too much grief and headache. For us, so far so good after working through the loss of 3 out of our 4 parents. It has allowed us to focus on the important side of the grieving process and removes the unnecessary stress we see so many others face. What a blessing."

"After working with one attorney that knew very little and had to bring in an additional attorney to compensate for the lack of knowledge of which I was charged for both attorneys time, upon that attorney’s departure I was left in the hands of Tyler Stewart. Tyler felt he could prey on my family and myself. Being that we came to that business for their knowledge and expertise, he felt like he could take advantage of us, manipulate us and corner us into his services. Prey on our “ignorance/lack of knowledge “. My family and I were ready to depart with this firm after not being notified that Tyler had taken over as counsel until we received a bill in the mail for him “reading over our file”. He attempted to bully us into staying by saying the additional actions we needed had to be done by him, trumping up additional charges as well. I reached out to speak with his superiors which were of very little help and even defended him. Once consulting with a state attorney I was informed that Tyler had no right to counsel us the way he did. After we did our research and proved to this firm that we knew our rights their tone changed. It’s unfortunate we were charged and paid so much but yet did so much of the actual work and even more research for our cause and for our protection against them."
