Client Testimonials

We Cannot Express How Thankful We Are

“You are never prepared for a legal crisis. As a non-profit organization that had operated without conflict for over 50 years, we did not think the need for legal representation would come our way. Unfortunately, it did. We cannot express how thankful we are for the legal representation we received from the firm Engelmeier and Umanah.”

Dedicated Talented Attorneys

“Our case required immediate and intense focus. Sheila Engelmeier took our call, understood the complicated aspects of our case, and responded immediately by putting together a team of lawyers to work on our behalf. This firm has dedicated talented attorneys that work together in an impressive way.”

They Truly Care

“It sounds cliché, but they truly care about the clients they serve literally night and day, and yes, weekends too. Our outcome depended on this focus. Sheila Engelmeier, Tom Marshall, Sue Fischer did an outstanding job.”

With Great Gratitude And Thanks

“It is with great gratitude and thanks that the Board of Directors for Lowell Lundstrom Ministries/ Celebration Church recommends and endorses the firm of Engelmeier and Umanah.”
