Casey Minnick
Excellent to Work With
James was excellent to work with during one of the most serious situations I’ve ever faced. This was my first experience dealing with a legal matter, and from the moment I decided to retain him, I immediately felt a sense of relief. James is organized, transparent, and very good at explaining complex legal issues in a clear, straightforward way that actually makes sense. He communicated well throughout the process and made sure I understood what was happening at each step. I truly appreciated his professionalism and the confidence he brought to the situation. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone who finds themselves needing strong criminal defense support. Thank you to James and the team at Albers & Associates. 10/10

Thank you for the service that you have provided. If needed, I will use your services again. Great job.
Kevin Livingston
Great Experience
Great experience. Reached out to the firm at the end of January with an issue, and James and the team hopped right on it. They filed the appropriate paperwork, got a court date scheduled, I made sure we had all the documentation to successfully move forward. Court date went very smooth by the first week of March and we got the outcome we were hoping for. Start to finish it was less than six weeks which was awesome. I highly recommend their firm.
PJ

Not enough thank-yous in the world for Senior Attorney James McGuinn. On a last-minute call for my case, and he was there supporting, advising, and provided all the aid needed. If you have any legal issues in the field of any member of Albers and Associates, then definitely give them a call. You won't regret it.

Patrick Lepley
I could not be happier
I could not be happier with the hard work the folks at Albers & Associates did with my cases. Joe Tychostup is an amazing attorney. Went to battle for me and got 4 separate criminal charges dropped that were built on lies. 3 separate cases rolled into one.
James Alexander
Excellent Experience with My Lawyer
I had an excellent experience working with Daniel Farlow, my lawyer, and his team. From the very beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in my case. They took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful situation. Communication was always prompt, and I felt supported and respected throughout. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome really stood out. I’m grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled attorney.

Dan Is on Your Side
My attorney, Dan Farlow, was incredible to work with. My case was very difficult because of several factors, and Dan reveled in the challenge to get me over the finish line. He did it with clear communication, reasonable expectations for what I could expect in the outcome, and professional conduct. I would give him 10 gold stars! To any woman who needs to leave an abusive situation, Dan is on your side.
Sanzi Kermes
He Was Great to Work With
I had a great experience when I hired Dan Farlow while going through my divorce. He was great to work with and made the process as seamless and painless as possible given my situation. He was attentive to my needs and won my case. I would be happy to recommend Dan to anyone needing his services in the future.

Eric F. Rosenblum
Compassionate and Available
James McGuinn was compassionate and available. With patience and understanding he walked us through the worst time of our lives and answered every question, every fear we had with knowledge and empathy. His easy smile, his willingness to take our calls, the way he responded to our emails all were a testament to his professionalism and caring ways when we were in desperate need. We are forever grateful.

John Pippi
He was communicative, prompt, straightforward and kind.
My family had the pleasure of working with James McGuinn when we found ourselves in a situation, and we really had no idea what our next step should be. We had a lot of questions, and he was fantastic throughout the entire process. He made us feel very comfortable in a vulnerable time and talked us through everything—there was never a dumb question. He was communicative, prompt, straightforward, and kind. We live out of state, and he was able to accommodate the niche issues involved with that and help guide us towards a positive result. Thank you so much, James! We hope to never need your services again, but if we do—the guy with the great pickle socks will be our first call.
Jaime Klados
Very Professional and Productive Experience
Working with Dan Farlow has been very professional/productive! I found his expertise/confidence to be very assuring! I would not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Farlow in the future or refer him to a friend that needed help in a legal matter!
Paul Watkins
My only regret is that I did not find her sooner.
I am so grateful for Samantha Boylan's incredible work. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly responsive. She is the first attorney I have ever met that kept her word on what was possible from day one. My only regret is that I did not find her sooner. Samantha truly is a top-notch lawyer, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
Kimberly
I am beyond impressed.
You never know what the day will bring when you are heading to court. It’s nerve-wracking. We all watch TV and have our ideas. I was flattered to have this firm represent me. The tactics, guidance, and knowledge superseded my expectations. I put my faith in them, and Dan Farlow put me at ease. I am beyond impressed. I can't thank them enough.
Justin Knott
He was absolutely outstanding.
I worked with James from Albers & Associates for a traffic court case, and he was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, James was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. He explained everything clearly, made sure I understood my options, and always kept me informed throughout the process. His calm and confident approach in court gave me real peace of mind, and the result exceeded my expectations. I can’t thank him enough for his dedication and expertise. If you ever need legal representation, I highly recommend James and the entire Albers & Associates team — they truly go above and beyond for their clients.

This Firm Defines Professionalism
Let me make a statement!!! Albers & Associates is the place to be. They do not care about your race, creed, or color. They fight for you like hell. They are not just about the money or the fame. They care, they are compassionate, they make you feel at home. I don't care the gravity of the case. This firm defines professionalism. Another thing that stood out for me in dealing with them is they will not give you false hope. No! Never. I cannot even remember how many times I asked about the outcome of my case. I had the same answer every time. That answer was always, “We do not predict outcomes. We don’t want to lie to you, but we promise we will fight for you,” and I swear they will. I want to extend my gratitude to this firm, especially James McGuinn. Thank you for your compassion, thank you for fighting for my family. I had so many recommendations. Many people told me my case was not going to be treated with the seriousness it deserves because, by their standards, “I am a minority in the wrong firm,” but my gut told me they were wrong and you proved it. My family and I are grateful. You responded to all the stupid and miserable questions even at odd hours. And the surprise bail 🤣🤣🤣 I still don’t know how you did it, but am grateful. To anyone reading this, if you have any case ranging from traffic to murder this is your place. I promise they will work it out. And they make payment plans that meet your needs. They will fight for you like they never have. I had an alleged child abuse case and it was thrown out of court. No questions asked, no cross-examination, nothing. They will move mountains for their clients.

Your Questions, Solved
  • What is a DUI?
    DUI stands for 'Driving Under the Influence,' which means operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or other substances. Being charged with a DUI may result in serious legal consequences, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time.
  • What is an ignition interlock device?
    An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer connected to a vehicle’s ignition system, requiring the driver to blow a sober breath sample before starting the car. They are often mandated for repeat offenders or high BAC levels to ensure safe driving.
  • How can a lawyer help with a DUI case?
    A lawyer can examine the evidence, challenge the validity of the stop or arrest, negotiate plea deals, and represent you in court. They can help minimize fines, reduce charges, or even have the case dismissed under certain conditions.
  • Can I refuse a breathalyzer test?
    You can refuse a breathalyzer, but there are consequences. States have implied consent laws, so refusal often leads to automatic license suspension or revocation. It may also be used as evidence against you in court.
