The Sauter Law Firm

Be leary of Thomas Sauter. I had to hire him to finish my late aunt's probate. I did most of the running around, he took over a month to call the heir, and even though my aunt's house sold in December '22, he still filed a motion to ask for more time in March of '23. Why? I don't know because he took months to even set up the signing even though another family member had the financing to buy the house (his procrastination almost caused the loss of the financing). Thomas Sauter wanted the maximum fee allowed by the state, even when it meant the heir wouldn't get much. I disagreed, as the executor, he stopped working on the case, yet still demanding full fee. I asked for fiduciary fees, which cut the heir out all together and Thomas Sauter was ok with that. I had no intention on keeping the money. I did it to cut his fees down. I paid him $6000 out of the $6800 the court set, put on the check that it was paid in full if he cashed it, he cashed it quickly, then told the court he wasn't paid, thereby causing the court to deny the case closed even though I finished it, including giving them proof of the check he cashed, front and back signed. Lawyers are allowed to be sleazy and the expense of others.

My mother and I had a great experience with Jamie Shimp. He was very kind and courteous and understood our situation. I recommend him highly!

I was very impressed with Jamie and the Sauter Law Firm. We originally made an appointment to get cost information and find out what was involved in drawing a will and related paperwork. He explained everything clearly and did not rush us.
We appreciated his attention to detail and suggestions.
I would recommend them and I would use them again if I need legal help.
