After consulting with several divorce attorneys, I hired Kathryn Lynch. Ms. Lynch made what could have been a very challenging situation a breeze for me. She remained focused on following procedure with an opposing side who was dragging things out by not providing required documentation. Ultimately, we were able to successfully mediate within a half a day and judge signed off that evening. I highly recommend Ms. Lynch if you are looking for a competent, no nknsense, highly professional divorce attorney.

In an unfortunate time and heartbreaking situation Kathryn and Traci were an absolute blessing. I was concerned with costs up front, and know there are a lot of lawyers out there just looking for billable hours. This is not the case with Kathryn and her team. She prepared me for the worst, of opposing council, and was 100% spot on. Her team is very efficient and is certainly not looking to drain your bank account or deplete your equity into her pockets. Every step of this process I felt supported and I was being directed in the right direction efficiently and effectively. Divorce is hard... Having Kathryn on my side was a prayer answered. If the unfortunate circumstance unfolded for any of my friends and family I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this law firm as the place to turn to. Kathryn and Traci, Thank you for being you, and thank you for all that you do. You are appreciated beyond words can describe.

I hired Kathryn Lynch to represent me in my uncontested divorce and would do it again in a heartbeat. She is professional and quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had. I genuinely felt like she had my best interests at heart and made sure I was comfortable with the process and the decisions as they were happening. She prepped me for my court hearing and made sure my questions were answered. The office paralegal, Traci, is an incredible human. She is empathetic, optimistic, and was always available when I needed a quick notary or had a question that needed answering.

I started my divorce process in March of 2022 with a different lawyer. My first lawyer was not proactive at all and had terrible communication, so I fired him and hired Ira. That was the best decision I made.
My first attorney did nearly nothing with my case from March through to October. I switched to Ira mid-October, and not even 2 months later, my divorce is settled and I am happy with the end result.
I cannot recommend Ira highly enough. His knowledge of the law helped me feel at ease. Both he and his office was very responsive to me, they set me up with their program so that I could follow along with all paperwork and communication made in regards to my case.
All in all, I believe that Ira is the one you want on your side. Trust me, you don't want your ex to be the one that retains him first

I originally consulted with Ira in 2018 and he did not put pressure on me to file my divorce. He gave me great sound advice and when the time came for me to finally go through with my divorce in 2022, I had no doubt I would hire Ira. Ira and his staff were always there for me when ever I had a question or needed advice. He knew the full extent of the law and was strong leader for me as I was very timid and always wanted to give in. For that I am grateful! I would highly recommend Ira and his partners for any legal assistance you might need!

I was referred to Ira Senoff by a friend. I made an appointment to speak with him about amending my divorce order so that I could retire. My original order from 15+ years ago was "not good" for me to say the very least. It left too much open for interpretation upon my retirement.
Ira was far different than any attorney I have dealt with before. He is a real person who speaks to you in real words not legal terms.
He assisted me in coming up with a solution that I am very happy with.
He is knowledgeable and understands how to work with other attorneys and not get walked all over like my original attorney did. I wish I used Ira when my divorce first occurred.
I have already recommended him to other people and will continue to recommend him.

My case was a very difficult family case with lots of fails on the justice system but Julie fought very hard to get us peace and justice. The system threw every curve ball but she never quit pushing for us. She always kept me informed and made sure I understood what was going on. We needed an emergency protective order on a Friday Julie got it taken care of and took time to call me at almost 9pm just to give me peace of mind. I really value the advice she gives and it has helped many ways legally and teaching me how to handle situations.

I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years!
Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her.
We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time.
I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel!
Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

I hired Peter Billings for a traffic violation and my experience with him was everything that one would hope for when hiring a lawyer. When I first contacted him, he got back to me quickly and was confident in being able to help me. Upon first meeting him, for the free consultation, he was nonjudgmental making me very comfortable telling him the complete situation. He also was very interested asking specific details and explained all the possible outcomes and the possibilities of each. I met with other popular lawyers locally and Billings was the most respectful of my time giving his complete undivided attention. Additionally, he is competitive in his pricing and made it clear he wasn’t going to lose a customer over costs. When I hired him, he communicated with me during the entire process and always returned my calls promptly. To top it off, he was able to get the best outcome possible.

I had an outstanding warrant from a while back on a misdemeanor charge. I now live in Florida so I needed to hire an attorney that could facilitate the release of the warrant as well as see if there was a solution to this whole nightmare. I started to search and came across Ryan McAllister. I reached out via email to several attorneys at that time and honestly Ryan was the only one who responded that he was willing to help me out. I didn't act on matters immediately because I was saving up to pay Ryan as well as any court associated costs. Once I did have enough to move forward I again contacted Ryan and provided the information that he needed to proceed. Ryan took time to research and find out what was going on. It turned out the warrant was no longer in effect as of March 2019. Ryan was able to get all this information very quickly and delivered the excellent news. in all this I still had not given Ryan a dime. I then asked Ryan what is the charge for his assistance in this situation and to my absolute shock was told there would be no charge. Ryan was just happy to be able to give me the great news. If you need someone on your side who is a go getter. Ryan is your guy. I hope to never need his services again but should the unfortunate need arise, He'd be my only call .
Thanks Ryan for all your help

I began working with Ryan and the group (Susan) back in December when I filed for Divorce. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect going in... there was a lot I didn’t understand and truly never expected to be in this position let alone being the one to file. Ryan met with me and I was instantly at ease in a way that I was no longer in this alone. He was detailed, honest, didn’t push or want anything more than what I wanted. Unfortunately, as time passed things did become complicated and a little frustrating... but both he and Susan handled everything with professionalism and grace. Their communication with me through the process was clear and very very timely. I never had to wait more than a day for a call back or response to an email.
I pray I never have to go through this situation again in my life... but if I do or any of my family or friends ever find themselves in need of legal counsel or consultation... Ryan McAllister is who I will call!

I was going through a difficult divorce (which I'm sure most are) it was a very hard time, and the other side was always playing dirty with lies and constant tricks up their sleeves.
I'm so grateful for Darren, because he was always fair and did the right thing, and that's what helped us win along with Darren being professional but at the same time very caring.
I appreciate his help, knowledge and thoroughness.
Darren will always take your call, talk and explain things to you, which is important because most of us don't know or even understand all the laws, and how they work etc.
If your going through a divorce (even a messy one) I highly recommend Mr. Shapiro.
Thank you so much again!

I realized my ex had no intention to contribute to my son's college costs. I was feeling frustrated and defeated. I needed help. I called Darren Shapiro and left a voice message. Promptly, Darren called me back and spoke to me at length. He asked questions about my case, he asked me to fax him my paperwork . He spent time looking my case over calling me, discussing, costs, with no hidden cost. He not only gave me exactly what I needed to proceed in court, he gave me respect, compassion and piece of mind!
Thank You Darren

I contacted Darren Shapiro for information regarding the direct adoption process of my son. He explained the process to me in a clear manner and was patient with me as I asked questions. Throughout the process, he explained what may happen and how we will approach each step. He also offered me ways to cut costs and was understanding when I needed a payment schedule. From start to finish, he was professional, kind and encouraging during a stressful time. I was able to get the adoption finalized before my son's first birthday! I thank God for leading me to Darren Shapiro!

Joe and his firm helped me in a way that I can’t explain. My divorce was very complicated and the very specific agreement that was drawn up by Joe and his team was executed perfectly. Throughout the process they were very personable, responsible, attentive, and specific in all aspects of my case. Everything from start to finish, although at times, were drawn out, were done to perfection. They protected me, my finances, and my children's future. I have already recommended them to coworkers and clients and will continue to do so as long as I know they are in practice. They took a very negative situation and time in my life and made it go as smoothly as possible. This reduced my stress level allowed me to focus on my own clients and profession as we went through the process together. I can’t thank them enough for their help!

Sadie was recommended to me by a family member, to represent me in my car accident case. When others did not want to take my case Sadie listened and worked effortlessly to get me what I deserved. In the beginning she let me know that the case may take time to settle but to trust the process. As I waited and completed therapy, Sadie and her team communicated effectively and I was always kept in the loop. I believe Sadie and her team was fair and had my best interests in heart. Sadie was able to settle my case without me having to speak with attorneys and I walked away with a great financial settlement. Thank you Sadie. I hope I don’t need your amazing services again but if I do.. you’re my first call.

I turned to Brooke after hiring another firm to initiate my divorce, however that firm failed miserably and took thou$and$ of dollars. Sadie immediately went to work on my case, filing only necessary motions, arguing what needed to be done, and getting it done. She did in 8 months what my previous firm failed to do over 3 years, and at half the cost. My divorce was resolved fairly and reasonably with McMorrow Law there every step of the way.
I've worked with attorneys my entire career and would absolutely recommend McMorrow Law.

Brooke helped us with a difficult family issue Complicating the issue was the fact that it was an interstate issue but Brooke prevailed. We never felt as though she wasn’t completely involved in solving our problem. She was in constant contact with us and while the issue became more complicated as she progressed, she never lost a step. She pitched a perfect game.

This review is unique in that Brooke represented my husband in divorce proceedings. The lawyer I hired, Deborah Iwanyshyn, I could fill this page with complaints, but this is about Brooke. I feel Brooke kept interest in what is best and fair with both parties in my divorce. After dismissing my lawyer, I was able to speak with Brooke and she wasted no time in completing the process. I got replies to emails in the same day with the up most professional responses. I believe Brooke truly cares about her clients and gets a 5 star in my review!

I am so thankful that I had Andrea as my representation. I have been back and forth with custody of my son for years due to false allegations. I had several other lawyers that were not half the lawyer Andrea is. She is passionate about getting results, but also is very to the point. She made things happen in my case that previous lawyers couldn't. To say she is dedicated, wouldn't be enough. I highly highly recommend her to anyone needing EFFECTIVE legal counsel that actually cares, keeps you informed every step of the way, and does not rip you off! She is an angel on earth, and I do not throw that term around loosely. You will not be disappointed with her!! (:

That’s what I thought about the service rendered by Andrea B Williams. I was in a unique situation and she worked to determine what was needed to resolve my case. She approached every angle to make sure every question or requirement would be addressed. My unmarried daughter died of COVID after delivering a newborn infant by an emergency c-section. The expectation was to be in sedation on the ventilator until are lungs were stronger. She was never able to sign to get the birth certificate and name the father of the child. Neither the father nor myself was able to apply for the birth certificate. Andrea made certain that an emergency hearing was set and we were granted a final hearing at that time so that benefits could begin. She was stern and straightforward and communicated with me to keep me informed. She was also very affordable for the amount of time dedicated to this case. I’m very grateful for her personal concern for my family and would recommend her for any legal matter you may have.

A little over a year ago, I was very lucky to have hired Mrs. Pollina to represent me for my legal case. It was very ugly at the time and She was very honest and upfront about the type of case this was. Very quickly Mrs. Pollina was able to break things down for me and explain the forthcoming process. From the moment that I spoke with her I knew that I hired the right lawyer. Through every step she explained what has going to happen and She takes the time to let her clients know what she is doing and what to expect. I saw how she broke everything down for the Judge to understand. I had full confidence in her skills. I just cant Thank her enough for all of the hard work that she put in to see my case to the end. I will always be Thankful for her service! I would never hesitate in the future if I needed her to hire her again!

Ms. Pollina was very quick to respond to emails and questions. Our case was handled quickly and there were no complications. She makes you feel very at ease and it is very easy to talk to her. She shows you the same respect as you give her. Some attorneys have a “I’m the smartest one in the room” attitude, but not Ms Pollina. She never talks down to you or treats your concerns as insignificant. If we ever need an attorney again, and I hope we don’t, we will call Ms.Pollina. I will definitely recommend her to anyone inquiring about a good attorney.

About three years ago I was pulled over for speeding and charged with a first-time offence 0.08 DWI in a small town about 45 minutes from Charlotte, NC. At the time I was a Florida resident and was temporarily in North Carolina for a work project. Having an out of state license only meant more complications to an already delicate subject, so I immediately began looking for the top-rated lawyers in the area. I scheduled meetings with six different law firms and set aside an entire day to interview them, get their opinion on my case, and ultimately decide which would be the best approach forward. I ended up choosing Robert to represent me due to two main reasons which set him apart from the rest:
First, my arrest took place over Labor Day weekend which meant that I would have to wait a couple of days until being able to meet lawyers, so I decided to leave voicemails during the holiday so I could fast-track my appointments the next day. When calling Robert’s listed number, it turned out to be his private cell phone, which he answered even on holiday nonetheless. Not only did he answer my call during off hours, he heard my case and provided comfort in my situation at a time when I needed it most. Good client communication is one of the main attributes I looked for when choosing my lawyer, and Robert went above and beyond in providing answers to all of my questions at a personal level of communication, which was kept throughout the entirety of my case (over three years).
Secondly, when I first met with Robert, we went through my case and he gave me his honest opinion on the most appropriate course of action. Then, he went ahead and told me a bit about his background, he’s past cases and strategies he would use at trial, but what really sold me on him was the advice that he gave me before leaving his office. He said that “regardless of which lawyer I decided to go with, to always make sure that I get the lawyer that I am paying for”. This is due to the fact that big law firms would take my case and would later hand it off to one of their multiple lawyers, which means I would have no control or knowledge of who is actually representing me, which defeats the purpose of doing my research in finding the best lawyer for my case. I found Robert’s advice to be the most honest and helpful out of all the lawyers I interviewed, something which I actually experienced first-hand in one of the meetings with another firm later that day when I asked the name of the lawyer that would get my case and was not provided with a concrete answer. \
Every case is different, and in my situation, Robert suggested to take it all the way to superior court to a jury trial since according to his experience, my case had plenty of evidence in my favor and had a real shot at winning. I followed Robert’s advice and went to trial, in which Robert did an excellent job in addressing the jury and presenting evidence in my defense. The jury could not come to a decision and was pretty evenly split on a guilty/not guilty verdict which ended in a mistrial. However, thanks to Robert, everything worked out in my favor since his negotiation with the DA led to the dismissal of my DWI charge, and Robert also prevented my license from being suspended due to the speeding infraction. All in all, Robert Reeves is an absolutely outstanding, experienced trial lawyer. With Robert you definitely get what you pay for, and since all cases are different, even if such great results as mine might not be an option, hiring Robert Reeves will definitely ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

I wanted the best which is why I hired Harold Zuflacht. Prior to meeting with him, local friends and colleagues stated he was the best and should be my only choice. While I had hoped for a reasonable divorce having two young children in the mix, it quickly became one of the most challenging experiences. Harold walked me through every careful step, making himself both professionally and personally available. At one point, due to several issues from the other side and extreme frustration on my own part, I was willing to just give everything away to end the madness. He provided a calm and rationale approach at every turn; asking and actively listening, while proving sound advice and options I hadn’t considered. His years of expertise, experience, and insight put my best interests and those of my children, first. What started as me hiring an expert divorce attorney has become a lifelong and respected friendship. There are always options but there is only one best choice – Harold Zuflacht.

Harold Zuflacht is an incredible attorney with great integrity. His in-depth knowledge of family law was evident throughout my divorce process. The heightened emotions that are entangled with a life-altering event, such as divorce, can be quite overwhelming. He was supportive and took the time to thoroughly explain the specifics of my case, in detail as the process evolved. Harold was a total professional and advocate for me. Hiring Harold Zuflacht to represent me and my best interests was undoubtedly the right choice!

Mysti Murphy's office did a great job handling my custody case. They made sure I understood every last detail of what is to be expected from start to finished. Everyone in her office played a positive role in my situation. The phone calls, emails, and appointments were set up and answered promptly, the paralegal was quick to research my situation and help me understand a lot of the legal jargon, my lawyer did a great job of preparing the case and presenting it to the court, and Mysti gave very critical input to help everyone succeed. This is just the professional side of all of them. They were also very attentive to my emotional stress and uncertainties. They didn't sugar coat much for me, which in turned helped me make educated decisions and prepare me for all possible outcomes. I appreciate everything they did for me, they way they handled everything, and would highly recommended Mysti Murphy's Law Office to anyone who needs a family attorney.

She knew exactly what to do and how to do it after hearing the details of our situation. She was informative, precise, and professional in every way. There was never any doubt about where we were in the process, what we should expect, and what the potential outcome might be. Our case was resolved to our complete satisfaction.
On top of all that, she and her staff were really nice people to deal with! If that wasn't enough, we actually got some of our retainer back! So, you can add honesty to the list of positive attributes.

Quyen is very organized & professional. I have had several different attorneys for family law. She is by far the best! She kept costs & drama down. Definitely who you want working for you, when you are dealing with high conflict situations.

I've had some horrible attorneys represent me for this same case Quyen did. I could never get in touch with them, they failed to notify me of any changes, paperwork, court dates etc. Quyen has always been easy to get in contact with and has never ignored me no matter how many questions I had or when I did not understand something, she always made sure I did whether it be by email or phone. She's very professional and handles everything on time. I finally won my case thanks to all the work she put in. It was definitely a life changer for me. I'd recommend her to anyone. Be honest with her and you'll get the same in return.

I certainly see why your have a 5-Star rating - your deserve it! In a time where lawyers are in it for the money and seem to NOT have or even take any time to care, you delivered so much compassion during a very difficult family time. Your knowledge and very informative structure of what was required and your direction; left us assured that a great choice was made in having you represent our family member to achieve the best resolve possible. Divorces are sometimes the most horrible event that will ever happen in a person's life, but having a solid representative that has your back, can help to overcome this and keep you emotionally centered, strengthen your resolve and remind one that "this too will pass".
Thanks so much for your dedicated personalized and caring approach, it meant so much to our whole family.

Julie and Jennifer did a tremendous job guiding and protecting me, in a divorce case involving children. I did not want or expect my wife to file for divorce, so I was left reeling and not thinking clearly. Julia and Jennifer worked hard to explain and guide me through the complexities of Texas family law. They ultimately helped to bring a fair and equitable settlement, that was fair for all parties. More importantly, they focused on the protecting my children into the future. I appreciated their honesty and direct communication, done with true compassion. It should be noted, that they completed my case during the height of Covid, where no in-person hearing or meetings were allowed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a good family law firm.

Greg Salant was straightforward beginning with the consultation through what was a very long and trying negotiation. I'm glad that he was recommended to me, and that I hired him. His response times are prompt, he's very thorough and prepared, and most importantly - he knows the law. Your divorce attorney isn't a shoulder to cry on, but there were a few times I felt like throwing in the proverbial towel. Fortunately, Greg encouraged me to keep going for the sake of my children and I'm glad I did. Divorce is incredibly difficult and complex, but you can be confident that Greg will help you navigate through the mess if you hire him.

David Housel was referred to me by family friend. When I reached out to him, I desperately needed someone who was going to fight for my family.
He did not disappoint. He listened to all the information provided. Analyzed it. Knew the law well. And executed a plan of action that provided the best outcome for my family. We owe him everything.

David was referral from a relative. He helped me get full custody of all my children, supervised visitation appointed by the court to see their father ( who is now a registered sex offender) and was able to get the judge to approve that he pay for my legal fees. I am very grateful for all the hard work he and his staff put into helping make sure my kids are safe.

After 6 years of struggling to finalize a horrific divorce, I turned to Georgia Petrie and the team at Heritage Law Firm. There were difficult challenges to face. I was states away from home in a area I was unfamiliar with 2 children. Finances were tough. There was a long military family life history. Many lawyers in this area did not understand military life challenges, laws, and rights. Georgia did. I was also harassed, given wrong information to try to scare me into making unwise decisions. Georgia provided facts to ease my fears and make educated choices. She worked efficiently and wisely with the team there to make sure it was as affordable as possible. Finalizing my divorce after all those years, and all the trauma associated with it, was the best Christmas present I have ever received. I’m incredibly grateful for Georgia and everyone at Heritage Law Firm.

I had some serious difficulties with another firm and went to see Glenn for a consultation . He offered me some reassurance and encouraged me to finish my case with the firm I already hired and paid. He told me that if I still felt unsatisfied that he would be happy to take on my case, but that he didn't want me to waste money unnecessarily. He spent the remainder of the hour talking to me and explained how the legal system worked and by the end of our meeting I felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders.
This was not my only consultation with Glenn, I met him on another occasion and again he offered me sound advice that would save me time and money when I wanted some documents modified.
He really is an honorable and honest guy. For any legal matters, I will only be going to him and his firm from here on out.

Farid Moghadassi and his team have exceeded my expectations in every possible level. Their communication is excellent, they kept me in the loop at all times and most importantly they actually care about my case...because they treated me like a person instead of like a file.

The Fact that Farid takes your case with a passion is huge. In this day and age, people tend to care about themselves and don't take others personal life into consideration, he was very understanding, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and in control of the situation. He lets you know not only through his words, but through his actions, how hard he fights for you. No small task or detail is to small for Farid. He fought for a long time to get me the best outcome I could have for my situation. He is respected in the courtroom, And when the agreement was made, he didn't let any prosecutor toy around with my case. I will recommend Farid to anybody that has a situation come about that needs the most attention and someone willing to fight for the best outcome.

I engaged Tamara after my collaborative divorce process failed. We dealt with a multi-state issue, complex financials with one side much more financially astute than the other. She guided me well as well as worked well with competing counsel to get to an out-of course settlement and agreement which has both stood the test of time and was fair across the board.

Tamara is the best lawyer with extreme care to the clients. She has the charisma and integrity that’s hard to find. Divorce was one of the most difficult time in my life, especially when it involved domestic violence. Tamara showed to me how much she cares about me as a person, not just as a client. She always kept a big picture for me, advised me what’s the priority in my life, and made sure I got out of the divorce with healthy mentality which is most important to me and my kids. She is amazing in promptly replying phone calls and emails and highly efficient in writing documents. After my divorce, confliction still arises occasionally with my ex, and Tamara always provides her best guidance to me as the most trustworthy lawyer you can rely on. Tamara is the lawyer I always feel lucky to meet in my life. Thank you!

Tamara gave me outstanding and knowledgable advice during my separation and throughout the divorce process, which entailed negotiating the details of Soberlink testing for custody. Tamara was extremely responsive and quick to draft detailed and complex stipulations and documents. She is extremely professional and personable, with a quick wit, and her experience in Westchester courts was a huge asset. I cannot recommend her more highly. She shepherded me through what was the most traumatic experience in my life, with skill, patience, and, above all, her vast legal knowledge.
