Law Offices of Makupson & Howard

If you are looking for a Family Law Attorney, you have found him!
Kraig L. Kibble, a Family Law Attorney at Law Offices of Makupson & Howard represented me and he did an amazing job. He took the time to meet with me, reviewed all of the information I gave him to help me win my child custody case. He answered all of my questions and concerns and always guided me to focus on what was important. He reviewed my case thoroughly that he was able to finish my sentences when I brought up a topic I was concerned about. This reinforced that I was in good hands. He treated my son and I as people and I felt he really cared about the outcome of my case and he was not only there looking to get paid. I thank him with all my heart for being honest with me and giving it his all to help win my case and getting full custody of my child.
I had previously paid another attorney a retainer fee and this money was gone before we even went to court and she still sent me an additional bill. She deceived me and told me she was going to do certain things for my case and she never did. A few days before my hearing, I met with her and she still had not reviewed my case after I had sent her information she requested weeks before. She showed up to court late and unprepared. Luckily the judge granted the other party more time and extended the court date. If I had stayed with this attorney, I would have definitely lost my case. Unfortunately there are people out there that care more about the money than to help out families in need.
Kraig was the second attorney I worked with and after paying the first attorney I was concerned that more money would go to waste, as my resources were limited. However I am so glad I took a chance and I am so thankful I met Kraig L. Kibble. I will definitely be working with him in the future if there is a need to return to court.
Having to go to court alone is an extremely stressful process especially when you are looking out for your child/children’s best interest. Rest assured that you will be in good hands.

I was very lucky to work with Erika Scheideman on my divorce case, which is now settled and final.
Throughout, Erika provided prompt and professional advice and never once «left me hanging» ~ making me feel like a priority! She always gave the information and also encouragement I needed in order to complete the process as fast and efficiently as possible.
I confidently recommend her services to anyone needing professional assistance with family law matters!

Kristen Howard at Makupson & Howard handled my divorce over the 10 months. While it was a tiny case in terms of numbers, the attorneys at Makupson & Howard always treated it like a top priority. They worked with me to balance my best interests, the likely outcomes of the case, and the best course of action to help me get what I wanted without breaking the bank financially in legal costs.
But more than that, Makupson & Howard feels like a family firm (as it is), but the attorneys and their staff work to make their clients feel like family, too. Having an attorney who is competent and skillful during your divorce is a godsend, but having one who you also look forward to meeting with because you know how much they care about you and your case? That’s a rare thing. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I agree with all the other reviewers, everyone there from Randy at front desk to Mrs. Makupson and her daughter amazing, but for me Erika was a godsend. During a difficult and highly emotional custody issue she was extremely helpful and guided my son and me with great legal advise but with an amazing human touch. we aren’t done yet, but at least now we see the light at the end of the tunnel…

I worked with Erika Scheideman through my divorce. I can’t tell you in words how wonderful she was. Divorce is such a difficult and frightening time. She is whip-​smart, incredibly detailed, easy to talk to. She was an amazing counselor and advocate. She caught an incredible number of mistakes in my ex-husband’s attorney’s work — a sign of what an intelligent, detail-​oriented, and thorough attorney she is. Most important though, she was warm and easy to talk to, friendly, and helped me through an incredibly difficult time. I’ve never needed an attorney before my divorce, and you can’t ask for a better one than Ms. Schideman. I feel lucky to have met her.

Years ago, when I saw what my good friend went through with her custody battle, I also watched her attorney, Ms. Kristen Howard, hard at work representing my dear friend in court. Back then, I could see just how brilliant Kristen was, and I was extremely impressed by her expertise, her work ethic, and her professionalism. My friend won full custody, in no small part to the wonderful attorney she retained. Cut to the present, and my husband found himself in need of a family law attorney. I did not hesitate to contact Ms. Howard at Makupson and Howard. Let me just say that when navigating the tracherous waters of the legal system, the BEST REPRESENTATION is an invaluable investment. My many thanks to Ms. Howard on behalf of my husband, and to quote his words after his final court hearing, «Today, we got justice…» I highly recommend Ms. Howard and her colleagues at the Law Offices of Makupson and Howard, to represent anyone who should find themselves in need of an excellent attorney.

Erika is an exceptional lawyer. She was so helpful throughout my divorce with her expert advice and professionalism. I felt she turned this unpleasant process into a positive experience. I am very thankful I was recommended to her and I will continue to recommend others to her in the future. I’m extremely grateful to have met such a sincere and competent lawyer.

My husband of 27 years suddenly wanted a divorce and not only left me, but left the state. Carolyn was compassionate to my situation and gentle with me when I first met with her. I immediately knew she was who I wanted to get me through the divorce. She is professional, knowledgable and thorough. She is not a «killer» lawyer and I was very appreciative of that. She was able to get me what I needed from the divorce. I highly recommend her! And her staff. All of them are wonderful and professional!

Getting a divorce — especially with a child has been the worst experience I have ever gone through– & I’ve gone through a lot– but having this firm, namely Erika Scheideman with me has literally saved my life. She’s not interested in my urge to «get back» at him– she has guided me to focus on what’s important– our son & having a decent relationship with my ex– She knows when to fight, she knows when to wave the white flag, she just knows what to do that will be the best for all involved– her intuition, kindness, humor & dedication are matched by her awesome legal skills. I love her & will always credit her for saving my life in this trying time. When I grow up I wanna be just like her…
