Martin and Kiley Are Not Just Incredible Lawyers
I cannot thank Martin and Kiley enough for everything they did for my son. They not only saved him from prison and a strike on his record. They always answered his calls from jail, went to visit him when needed, and took the time to explain everything to me after each court date, so I never felt left in the dark.
They even connected us with a psychologist for a small fee, who went to the jail several times to speak with my son and would also call me afterwards to let me know how things went. On top of that, they also brought in a private investigator for an additional small fee. He not only did his work thoroughly but also took the time to call me directly, which showed how much effort the entire team put into helping my son.
The entire office staff was always kind and patient, even when I had what probably felt like tedious questions. Helen was especially helpful with the financial side, allowing me to put a portion down and then make payments, which no other lawyer’s office was willing to do.
It’s sad to see when people leave bad reviews, because sometimes it’s not that the lawyer didn’t do their job, it’s that the outcome wasn’t what they hoped for. Hiring an attorney doesn’t guarantee that there will be no sentence. My son still did time, but it was nothing close to what the DA was pushing for. Without Martin and Kiley, who knows what would have happened.
What really showed me their character was the fact that Martin reached out to me a couple of months after my son’s sentencing just to check in and see how he was doing. Then, about six months later, when my son faced another legal issue, Kiley immediately stepped in again to help us through it.
Martin and Kiley are not just incredible lawyers, they are compassionate people who went above and beyond to support both my son and me. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in need of legal help.

Empathetic Lawyering and Strong Support
During a very challenging time for our family, my husband retained Sawl Law Group, and we had the opportunity to work with several of their attorneys throughout the process.
Martin Taleisnik stood out immediately with his professionalism, empathy, and clear communication. He practiced what I would describe as "empathetic lawyering"—taking time to understand the emotional toll legal matters can have on families, while still providing honest, realistic expectations about the outcome. I especially appreciated that he respected my input and made me feel included in the process.
Due to unexpected circumstances, our case was transitioned to Marco Aguiar. Marco impressed us with his knowledge, patience, and ability to explain legal concepts in a way that felt approachable and reassuring. His calm demeanor and willingness to answer questions helped ease a lot of our anxiety during an uncertain time.
Shortly before the case went to court, Marco resigned, and we began working with Adam Awad. Adam is clearly capable and knowledgeable, and we are grateful for the role he played in resolving the case. However, his communication style was more direct and at times felt dismissive when I attempted to ask questions or offer input. While his approach may work for some, it was a bit difficult to adjust to after the openness we had previously experienced.
Overall, we are thankful for the support we received from Sawl Law Group. The majority of our experience was positive, and we appreciate the efforts of everyone who helped us navigate a very personal and difficult legal matter.

Case Dismissed!
Case DISMISSED! Three long years I was waiting for those words, and when Kiley Clevenger got my case, we talked for maybe 15 minutes and all my fears went away, and the next time we spoke, my case was dismissed. I saw that other law groups were cheaper, but I knew my case needed the extra money to fight, so I spent it. I was still pretty nervous with the first lawyer Sawl saddled me with, and was told it was going to need to go to trial, and I was petrified. Fortunately for me, that lawyer ended up going on vacation and my case was put in the hands of the type of lawyer you hope you get when you spend this kind of money, Mrs. Kiley Clevenger. I hate to put more work on the already extremely busy Mrs. Clevenger, but if you're in need, and there is even a chance that the case can be won, ask for her. I literally cannot describe the stress, worry, and anxiety washed away after I spoke with her, we then went to court and she FOUGHT for me the way you want a lawyer to fight, and she won without it ever having to go to trial. I'm sorry if this makes her even busier, but if you want a chance, go to Sawl and ask for Kiley Clevenger. I hope Sawl Law recognizes how good she is.

Strong, Compassionate Advocate in Criminal Court
I was initially wary and overwhelmed, but Kiley Clevenger consistently reassured me that everything would be okay. Even when I was persistent with questions and concerns, she remained patient, responsive, and attentive every step of the way. She made sure I felt heard and understood, and never once made me feel like a burden. I’m truly grateful for the way she handled my case, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would 100% return to Kiley for any future legal needs and highly recommend her to anyone needing a strong, compassionate advocate in criminal court.
