What Our Clients Say About Our Services

EL

I would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for an attorney. He is a great listener, knowledgeable, and very honest. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He responds in a timely manner. I appreciate all of his hard work and will always recommend this firm to anyone that needs legal help.

To be honest I do not care for attorneys (to put it mildly). Having worked briefly in the law field, I have learned that it takes a special breed to be a lawyer and they are the type of people I want no association with EXCEPT for Terrance Zawacki, Steven Groschen and David Samb...

If you are looking for an attorney, Terrance Zawacki is your man!!! He’s amazing at what he does, explains everything along the way, and he made my entire divorce process much less stressful for me. I would, without a doubt, recommend Terrance and his team for all your legal needs!!

Alliance has 2 highly professional lawyers, that are very proficient in estates, wills, and family law. I highly recommend them, as a mom making sure everything is in order if anything goes wrong and also as a daughter that has lost her mom. Their guidance has meant a lot to me.

David is always quick to respond to my questions and gives me peace of mind. He's been my go to throughout the years!

Chelsey Smith

Terry was patient, knowledgeable, and skilled in helping me with my legal matters. I also found him to be more thorough than other counsels I've dealt with. He not only takes a legal sense to solving problems, but also a practical sense while keeping the primary goal in focus, even during turbulent times. I'd recommend Terry for legal services and would use him again in the future.

I have known Terrance for nearly 6 years and in that time have know him to be a consistent professional with a great attention to detail and a man who keeps his word. When he decided to open his own law firm there was no question who I wanted to handle my estate planning and personal legal work...
