In the legal support world, time is everything. When your business banking goes sideways, every hour without access to your accounts creates serious problems. That’s exactly what we faced recently when our longtime credit union suddenly closed our accounts without warning. We later learned it was through no fault of our own. In fact, that original credit union even offered to reopen the accounts. No thanks. We had already moved on.

We needed a fast solution to stay operational. That’s when Eric Hajek of Heartland Business Solutions stepped in and referred us to First Federal Lakewood (FFL).

Within hours, the team at FFL had a new business account opened for us. We provided the necessary documents, and because we had them ready, they issued our new account and routing number the same day.

The experience was outstanding. Their team was responsive, fast, and clear in their communication. Everything was handled smoothly by email, which is a huge advantage for busy professionals like us who support attorneys, courts, and other time-sensitive clients. FFL’s online systems are modern and efficient, and their staff actually follows through.

As the owner of companies that provide both insurance services and private investigations in support of probate courts and the legal field, I value reliability. FFL delivered exactly what we needed. Whether you're managing client funds, issuing surety bonds, or running a service-based business that works closely with attorneys, this is the kind of banking relationship you want.
