Excellent customer service from this firm. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. My questions were answered clearly, and quickly. Highly recommend.

Lori and her team are phenomenal! 100% professional and knowledgeable. Lori and her team put their clients, first working diligently towards a successful outcome. I have referred many clients to her over the years and will continue to do so!

Lori is an empathetic, talented, honest attorney and person. She helped me in my divorce process. She doesn’t make promises she can’t keep, she’s a plain talker who explains things so clients understand what’s going on. She’s not afraid to tell you the truth, not what you want to hear. Genuinely good person- unlike many in the divorce field, she’s not simply out for the money. She takes great pride in helping people. And don’t underestimate her. She’s prepared and smart.

As a fellow attorney, I’ve had the opportunity to refer cases to Sustainable Family Solutions and they have all raved about the service and care they have received. Lori cares about solutions that are best for families, for the long run, and actively works to minimize conflict.

Sustainable Family Solutions was recommended to my husband and I by a very good friend. I have no words to express how grateful I am for having Lori Barkus (our attorney) and her staff working with my son’s parenting time issue. Their communication and professionalism are outstanding. Since day one, Ms. Lori Barkus and her staff demonstrated compassion and interest in helping my son resolve the parenting time issue with minimal conflicts and positive results. I definitely recommend Ms. Lori Barkus Family Law Firm to anybody in need of a Family Attorney. I give them definitely a FIVE STAR for their dedication, compassion, professionalism, and for the care they demonstrated to my son and to us throughout the case’s journey. Thank you, Lori and the staff, for the time you took and placed us under your wings since day one. You and your staff helped us get an amazing result. Now, we can enjoy the grandkids and my son can enjoy his children. Ms. Lori Barkus and her team has been a blessing to us.

I'm so wonderfully impressed with all the excellent, professional and successful work that Sustainable Family Solutions provided to me and my case. Lori and her staff achieved a completely happy outcome. I am truly grateful and thankful for her diligence, experience and dedication in representing my best interests. Kudos to her entire team. I would very highly recommend her for any family legal matter. I'd add a few more stars above if that were possible.

I've used Gary several times for some family planning questions and he has been incredibly helpful, is extremely knowledgable, and has provided me with the prompt quality service I would expect from an attorney. I highly recommend him.

Should be 10 stars! Sharp as a razor, extraordinarily caring, absolutely dedicated to the pursuit of making divorce less painful - in other words - not your typical divorce lawyer. If you want to be treated like a human being, have someone who will be honest with you, lay out all the facts, navigate you through all the bs and genuinely cares about getting you into a new life you can actually survive and sustain, there isn’t a better choice. Divorce sucks and it’s shark infested waters finding a good attorney - do yourself a tremendous favor and have Lori Barkus on your team.

I want to wholeheartedly thank Gary here because he helped me not only “win” my divorce case, but most importantly, protect my belief in justice, which I cannot live without. I must admit that my divorce case was overly complicated due to its foreign national nature. Additionally, the opposing party’s unfaithfulness to the facts further added an extra layer of complexity to the case. All these complications, instead of leading to a dilemma for the opposing party to take advantage of, only served as a foil to reflect Gary’s excellence in the practice of family law. My after-the-fact fortune converges to the decision of choosing Gary over a big law firm (that my ex-wife went with), not only because Gary was more cost-effective, but also because with Gary, I received a continuity of uniformly excellent service throughout the process. In contrast, my ex-wife had to swap attorneys several times, all being young and seemingly inexperienced. Even though the opposing party was the Petitioner and I was the Respondent, Gary led the entire process over the opposing party, e.g., suggesting an expert and arbitrator to facilitate the process, being vigilant on every detail, and confronting the opposing party with confidence backed up by evidence. I enjoyed every minute with Gary. He’s “old” enough to be equipped with extensive knowledge and experience, while “young” enough to actively stay energetic and sharp; he’s rigorous enough to connect family matters to law, while flexible enough to map out tactics and strategy; he’s compassionate enough to feel what I feel, while tough enough to defend me whenever I needed. He’s not just a lawyer but a lawyer with a heart. Even though divorcing with a lawyer is costly, it would have been impossible for me to go through the process, handle the extreme stress, and manage the malevolence from the opposing party by myself. Whenever I rethink it, I only feel fortunate and grateful that I had Gary.

Working with Lori was very easy. Her team was always quick to respond and explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand. She even offered to speak to my ex for me to explain our settlement offer which helped me keep stress to a minimum. Her team is very kind and eager to help.

After my wife and I agreed to divorce, I was severely stressed and had trouble sleeping. I spent the next few days searching online for a family law attorney, and interviewed the three most promising candidates. I knew upon speaking with Gary Pulitzer of Pulitzer Family Law that I had found the right attorney to represent me, and I retained him on the spot. It was the best decision I could have made, and my stress levels dropped immediately. From our first conversation, it was obvious that Gary is an expert in family law, with an affinity for my type of case, which focused on financial issues. Gary quickly, clearly, and accurately outlined the issues in my case, and how I could expect the process to unfold. He took care to listen and thoroughly understand my situation. Throughout the process he communicated clearly, kept me informed, and was proactive in moving the case forward on a timely basis. Gary is personable, reassuring, hardworking, well-prepared, and exceptionally effective. As a result, the settlement we reached in mediation fully protected my interests and exceeded my expectations, while also being fair to my former spouse. Gary is a pleasure to work with and extremely competent. I could not have selected a better attorney, and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone going through a divorce.

A consummate professional, Gary is the only reason I am still in the "forever" retirement home that I bought and paid for. Gary saved my retirement by writing a concise, complete Pre-Nuptial Agreement that saved me from a greedy, unreasonable woman, and her very aggressive attorney. Thanks Gary!!!
