Blevins & Pietz, P.C. Law Firm

Hired this firm to handle my divorce. The office staff was incredibly nice. However I had several issues with Mr. Pietz reaching out to a family member I did not approve information to be given to, or for her to speak on my behalf. He continued to "draw up" papers that were not requested and refused to listen to me. When I finally was able to get a return phone call from him, he then proceeded to yell at me and tell me I'm wrong. Do not recommend at all, he only appears to be concerned about money and not the actual cases or clients themselves. I have reported him to the Missouri bar association and suggest anyone who has had a similar experience with him do the same. He's unprofessional and unethical. Save yourself the headache and get this man disbarred so he can stop verbally assaulting clients.

I found this attorney through a federal employee resource website that claimed to offer discounted services for government workers. Unfortunately, my experience with Mr. Pietz has been devastating. From the very beginning, he showed little effort or compassion in representing me. He refused to include critical personal evidence and firsthand experiences that could have supported my case. He was aware that the government was going through reductions in force, and now, during this shutdown, I've been left struggling to pay my balance. I explained clearly that without an approved budget, we lose overtime -- yet instead of understanding, I was met with threats when I couldn't pay immediately after court. I'm a single, hardworking mother with no living family, having just bought my first home nine months ago. I'm trying to refinance and take out an equity loan, so I can't even open a credit card right now. I recently went through an incredibly traumatic and unjust custody case, filled with false accusations and parental alienation. Despite being the stable parent, the court ruled against me, and I'm now ordered to pay child support for the child my ex kept from me -- something I simply cannot afford right now. On top of that, I've faced major unexpected expenses: an emergency root canal and crown, a broken window repair, and now car repairs -- all of which I've provided proof for. I even communicated my hardship to his assistant, who assured me that they understood. Yet when I reminded Mr. Pietz of that conversation, he denied it entirely. And now, despite everything, he's suing me -- during a government shutdown, when federal workers are struggling just to get by. So much for supporting the very people this firm claims to stand behind. I've never felt so dismissed or unsupported in my life. I cannot in good conscience recommend this law firm to anyone, especially to other federal employees who deserve real advocacy, not added hardship. Oh and now he's threatening to sue me if I don't remove my review of my personal experience which was absolutely true to the best of my knowledge and experience. calling the bar now to report this harassment.

Had a traffic violation. I reached out to Jim Pietz per recommendation, for representation. Within a couple of days, I had a in office consultation. He asked a few questions, I gave a copy of citation, and he estimated my court cost. He said he would contact me when citation was filled with the court. He responded quickly to my emails, answering my questions. Very professional, however he does get right to the point which is what I want. He said he would take care of it, I trusted him, and it resolved itself. Next I'm going to see him for a Will/Trust. I would recommend Jim Pietz. I believe clients who have bad experiences with business personnel, is how they handle their presentation. Just answer the questions, don't be pushy or opinionated and let them do their job! If unprofessional yourself... rude and unprofessional is what your going to get.

Mr Pietz was able to help me from nearly missing a crucial deadline in my case and provided assurance throughout. Brea and he both stayed in constant communication with me and making a very stressful situation much more manageable getting the exact result I was after. I highly recommend them to anyone in need!

Mr. Pietz did an excellent job with my case. His calm demeanor put me at ease. Communication was timely and respectful from both him and the legal assistant. In court it was very clear that he knows exactly what he's doing. I couldn't be happier!
