The sale of my house in Florida was a challenging and stressful situation because it was related to a divorce. I wasted 6 years trying to save money and handle my issue instead of hiring a lawyer. Attorney Felicia Williams was referred to me by another client and friend because she was great at working with men to solve their divorce challenges. Therefore, I hired Attorney Williams in 2017 to handle my Florida post-divorce proceedings and she exceeded my expectations and challenges. Attorney Williams consultation and experience to handle my complex case was extraordinary and finally settled in April 2020. Not only did she settle the sale of my house; she settled the alimony too. The alimony would have been another ongoing issue for me. If you want one of the top 1% of Attorneys in Florida who is exceptional with a great attitude, hire Attorney Williams because she gets the job done right. Attorney Williams is about her clients and results. If I have any legal concerns in the future, I know who to call. Thank you Attorney Williams, I am forever grateful for your outstanding service!

My ex wife is what people call “helicopter mom.” She would not let me see my daughter. She accused me of ridiculous thigs and asked for 100% of any decision-making because I cannot be trusted. From the very beginning Fedor Kozlov told me that it would be a fight and he took the case to the trial. Everyone was against me, including the child representative. I think that he won trial. I have shared custody now and I see my baby every week. Highly recommended!

After a year and half of being with another firm during my terrible divorce and very little progress, I made a decision to change the law firm and hired Law Office of Fedor Kozlov. This ended up being the BEST decision I could have made. I reached out to Law Office of Fedor Kozlov at the point where my case was hopeless. Mr. Kozlov and his team are amazing group of lawyers with high professional knowledge, experience and personal respect for a client. They fought for me as if I was a member of their family, while being very conscious of my financials and using time and money in MOST efficient way. They protected me from unnecessary drama, and ALWAYS kept me posted about my case.
Mr. Kozlov is smart, honest, reliable lawyer with strong negotiation skills, great communication skills and most importantly - he will get the job done without wasting your money and time! Another lawyer in practice, Kendall Monson, fought in court for me on more than one occasion and was able to turn around the case in my favor several times. Both Fedor Kozlov and Kendall Monson were able to change the outcome of my divorce, which seemed closed to impossible. They are more than just very experienced and educated professionals; they are best People that you can absolutely trust. Thank you all for hard work and emotional support!!

Out of pure revenge my ex filed fraudulent chargers against me accusing of child abuse. DCFS became involved. This was a nightmare. Before I hired Kozlov, I consulted with at least three other lawyers. Kozlov showed a good knowledge of the law and understanding of the procedure. It was very important to me to know everything that was going on in court and Kozlov kept me informed every step of the way. This hell is over and I have my child back. He is not cheap but Kozlov chargers only for actual work. Not BS chargers like travel time. He keeps his word. If you work with him he will get you the result.

Ms Drake is the best of the best! She began representing me in 2019 and my ex took me back to court twice after that. Believe me you want her on your side of the fight.

I not only recommend attorney Brenda Drake, but I guarantee once you have used her service you too will look no further. She responds in an extreme timely matter, and is also very knowledgeable and trustworthy person. I am satisfied that she handled my case with extreme professionalism and definitely made this divorce process less stressful. I am now happily divorced and very thankful to have Brenda as my lawyer.

I posted a question regarding divorce proceedings that I am currently involved with and Ms. Drake was kind enough to answer me accordingly. I ended up messaging her and we began to communicate so I took the liberty of regurgitating my situation in detail regarding how I was mistreated by the Petition's Counsel.
She gave me solid advice and explained some differences in procedures from her jurisdiction versus mine. She didn't seem to mind that I just dumped a years worth of legal situations in her ear as she kindly and politely replied to me without judgement. I have had quite a few interactions with male attorneys and not too many interactions with female attorneys. I'm not attempting to make this a male/female battle but I am finding that there is something much better with regard to female attorneys. Male attorneys don's seem to take the time to actually read or listen to what one writes or speaks and Ms. Drake definitely read and listened to me because she answered my questions directly and to the point with clear and concise responses. She practices in Jacksonville Florida and does not venture out very far from her county's jurisdiction. If she did, I would very much consider retaining her as my counsel due to her attentiveness itself. Besides her photo displays a very warm and kind smile.

Evan is quite possibly the best attorney I have ever met. He was thorough, reliable, honest, and caring. He helped keep me calm and relaxed during what was an extremely stressful time. My divorce was fast and efficient because of Evan's hard work and dedication. I wasn't just a paycheck to Evan, I was a person and no matter what time I called, Evan answered.
Evan is a straight shooter and although he may tell you things you don't want to hear, they are things that you NEED to hear and trust me, you will be better off because of it.
I can't recommend Evan enough. If all lawyers were like Evan, the world would be a much better place.

I am beyond thankful I had Evan on my side during a time of anxiety and uncertainty regarding my infants custody and visitations. I met various attorneys before choosing Evan , once I met him I felt instant relief. Evan never guaranteed an outcome but did assure me he had experience with similar cases. Evan was always honest ,informative and explained possible results . During court appearances Evan was prepared it was evident he spend hours working on my case in contrary to opposing council. Evan was outstanding defending My son's and I's interest in the court room. Evan was always a call away If I had any questions which were many at times his fixed fee approach assured me any call made wasn't added to my bill. After a year of working on my case Evan got me almost exactly what I wanted. I will always be grateful for Evan he is wonderful , humorous and personable. If you are looking for a family attorney He's the MAN, you will not regret it!
Thank you Evan for all you have done for my family!!!

I am deeply grateful for Evan Braunstein's service, hard work, legal knowledge, preparedness, and passion on my behalf. I hired Mr. Braunstein for a family law case regarding a move away. His personal and approachable demeanor made me feel comfortable and not so overwhelmed. Mr. Braunstein is always reachable, and is VERY patient in regards to questions and concerns. His hard work and dedication towards my case let me know that I was in good hands! The combination of these things and his assistance getting me prepared allowed me to walk into court room extremely confident that we were prepared, and to walk away from the trial knowing that we did our best. Mr. Braunstein was obsessive in his preparation, tireless in his effort, and the communication was outstanding. And all this showed in the court room.
I can go on and on about Mr. Braunstein because he is literally that great!
Thank you so much Evan you are greatly appreciated and your hard work will never go unnoticed!!

I was referred to Alex and his paralegal assistant, Amy, by a friend of mine. In my opinion, personal references are worth their weight in gold as there are so many law offices competing for your business today. How do you choose? Which one should you trust? Well, I am pleased to say that I was delighted that I listened to my friend and contacted this law office. During my initial meeting with Alex and Amy they both took the time to explain, in detail, the steps that would be required to address my probate issue and how long each step would take and why. They made sure I was comfortable with their advice and recommendations. I have used many attorneys over many years for personal, probate and real estate transactions - some good and some bad. I must say that Alex and Amy provided me with straightforward answers, prompt and courteous service at a reasonable price. They also left the door open for me to come back if I had any follow up questions or concerns. I will definitely knock on their door for future legal needs. So, my overall assessment of their service would have to be excellent!

Having gone through a devastating divorce Alex and Amy were recommended by a friend who was my therapist. They were supportive emotionally and helped me get through the process of the divorce. They got me through a very rough patch and made the process easy and they were extremely approachable and accommodating to my schedule. Because of their professionalism and Amy's friendship I was able to get though it with ease. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend them!

I have used Brad more than once (for my divorce and four years later when a petition requesting a new parenting allocation judgment was filed). Brad walked me through both processes, ensured that I had "wins" along the way as the respondent in both cases, and was available/accessible when needed. I was never waiting on information or a status update. He is very easy to communicate with and extremely responsive. I was incredibly happy with the outcomes (under stressful circumstances) in both cases. I have the highest respect for Brad and highly recommend him!

Brad is an excellent attorney who is very intelligent and well versed in the law. He is very articulate whether in the divorce trial-court, discussions with the GAL, or in private conversations as we tailored our approach to my priorities. He is an excellent communicator both in his written documents and during conversations. He was always forcefully striving to get the best outcome for me and my children by determining the best approach and exploring creative options. His sincere and focused efforts were integral in the court’s decision to grant me as the primary residential parent for my kids.
Brad is an exceptional and gifted lawyer. My case was very contentious and filled with many distractions and accusations from the OC. Brad remained calm, focused, and strategic. He is not only highly intelligent but also is sympathetic and absolutely focused on getting the best outcome for me. He is patient, compassionate, and thorough in what he does and presents.
I had interacted with many lawyers during my divorce process, but Brad is clearly set apart from them. He is very knowledgeable, hard-working, and thoughtful. There is every reason why he is a Rising Star. I would highly recommend Brad, in fact, I can not recommend him highly enough while going through such a difficult and heart-wrenching experience as a divorce.

Brad performed a review of a prenuptial agreement that had already been structured and had little room for flexibility. Despite the constraints imposed by the agreement, Brad provided invaluable insights on improving the structure of the agreement, helped identify and remove excessively punitive clauses, and was able to make several recommendations to clarify language and circular references that were ultimately accepted by opposing counsel. Brad was extremely professional in his demeanor toward my fiance’s family’s requests, in his responses to my requests, and in his overall handling of the case. Brad took the time to help me understand the legal jargon and gave me peace of mind that I was protected throughout this sensitive process. He was readily available via email or phone, despite having trials and other open cases, and he made arrangements to meet in person upon request within just a couple business days. Reasonable retainer fee for services compared against several other firms in the Loop. Highly recommended for anyone needing counsel to sign a prenup.

I cannot express how grateful I am that I found Daria and her team. I was in the unfortunate scenario of unexpectedly being plunged into our broken family law system.
I interviewed a few attorneys and hired one from another firm (S-M&P). I quickly realized I had made a mistake, as the competence of that attorney was severely lacking and it was clear that they viewed me as an ATM. After a month of manufactured drama/crisis and thousands of dollars down the drain, I made the decision to change attorneys.
I was referred to The Wise Law Firm by a friend of a friend, and from the start, Daria exceeded the high expectations that I had coming in. She was very transparent about my realistic options and the most likely outcomes. She didn't try to push the more contentious options simply to drive up her billable hours. There was never a time when I felt like I was being 'nickel and dime'd into oblivion - their billables are very fair and accurate and I never had to question any line item on my statements.
Daria and her team had the goal of achieving the best outcome for my family and me, and I am confident that my case would not have had the favorable outcome that it did, had I stayed with the other attorney. Family law is an ugly place, and I can't imagine dealing with it day in and day out, but somehow Daria and Stephanie have found a way to insulate themselves from becoming cynical and jaded.
If you are reading reviews because Daria is your opposing counsel, I can say with confidence that Daria is as professional of an opponent as you will find. She is not manufacturing drama/conflict in an effort to drive up the billables and the duration of your case.
If you have already hired another attorney and are having doubts, I would highly suggest making a switch - it's not worth it to stay with an attorney that you don't have full confidence in - the figurative and literal costs are far too high.
TLDR: If you are looking for a family law attorney, I cannot recommend The Wise Law Firm enough.

For the last 7 years, Ms. Wise and her paralegal, Ms. Kayler, have been like extra family members, assisting us with some of the most challenging circumstances our family has ever experienced.
In every event our family has encountered (including parenting plans, modifications, emergency custodial issues, multiple mediations, protection orders, guardian ad litems, all manner of temperaments from opposing counsels, new judges), Ms. Wise's counsel and advice has been spot on. She's not one to make promises, but she has a solid grasp of the legal systems in the area and can accurately guide your expectations and limitations.
I have lost count of how many court appearances and mediations we've attended with Daria at our side, but our children and family have come out safer and better off after each one.
I have personally referred her to many of my friends in need of family legal services, and they've reported the same. She's timely, communicates well, and is passionate about helping her clients and their families.

The Wise law firm did an excellent job in handling my case, they showed professionalism a great work ethic and had good knowledge and experience in handling divorce cases. They also showed great empathy in handling my peculiar case; were very responsive and understanding of my financial difficulties and very generous in giving no charges whilst still working very hard to ensure that all my needs were tendered to. If you are looking for a firm that will fight for you and have your back, this is your firm. My case lasted 4yrs and Daria still remembered details of the case that even I had forgotten that ultimately helped me in gaining custody of my children as well as a very fair final judgement. I will highly recommend this firm, definitely a good lawyer you can trust!

I have had to use Blair's services over that past 3 years and he has represented me with integrity, intelligence, and composure throughout the entire process. He has the resources and experience to guide you through the entire process and has many professional contacts who hold him in high regard.
Even though my certain situation was highly emotional and dramatic, Blair was able to keep a level head and manage expectations, offering me clear choices and describing in detail what each meant.
I got everything I needed from my case and I have Blair to thank.

found Blair Chan when searching for a Board Certified Marital and Family Law Attorney in Tampa. After extensive research I selected his firm and never regretted my decision. I found him to be professional, responsive, intelligent and well informed. Stephanie, his paralegal, was equally as professional and responsive during the time I was a client. I was kept informed during every step in the divorce process. I highly recommend Blair Chan to anyone in need of an experienced Family Law Attorney.

I hired Aimee to help me with my uncontested divorce. I had originally hired another attorney who was not being responsive. I explained to Aimee my desire to quickly resolve the divorce so that I could move forward with my life. It is the middle of COVID and my previous attorney was using this as an excuse to delay action. Aimee made phone calls right away and within 4 days was able to have me a court date. I am now divorced within a week of working with Aimee. I would highly recommend Aimee as a very responsive and professional attorney.

I am very fortunate to have found Mr. Marchese. I was given an impossible task of finding a lawyer with little time and in a different state than I lived in. When I reached out to the office online at 8pm, I was not expecting an email back that same evening, let alone within 30 minutes.
Mr. Marchese personally emailed me about my concerns and agreed to meet with me the next day. One of the things that makes him stand out against other lawyers is his responsiveness and ability to write about case law. I had multiple people tell me how lucky I was to have a lawyer who responded to emails and phone quickly as Mr. Marchese did.
This was my first time ever hiring a lawyer, I did not know what to expect.
Mr. Marchese is the person you want to hire if you’re looking for a fair and try-hard lawyer.
Mr. Marchese knowledge of case law is so vast that our the Judge complimented on his writing. There was absolutely no comparison between his writing and understanding of the law vs. the opposing counsel. Once again, I was very fortunate to have him as my attorney.
I found Mr. Marchese to be very understanding, empathetic and honorable. Nobody wants to go through a divorce, custody battle or fight false allegations. I can honestly say that Mr. Marchese tries to see both sides of the coin, which is absolutely necessary in these type of circumstances. Family law, I have learned, is not black and white.
The foundation that Mr. Marchese laid for my case will always be greatly appreciated. When you have a lawyer that fights for justice and the truth, like Mr. Marchese practices, in the end...You cannot fail.
Thank you for making me feel heard and helping me through this extremely difficult process.

I would recommend Daniel to anyone wanting a great lawyer.

His team alongside Martha and Jesse were always on top in communicating with my ex’s lawyer as well as providing me up to the minute updates as they came in. The updates were crucial for my peace of mind in feeling that I was going to end up in a positive situation after my divorce. Barry brings in not only his professional legal experience to protect your interests but demonstrates and makes you feel like he really does care for you and your family. He’s a people person and understands and sympathizes with a persons crisis. Getting a divorce is horrible but I am so thankful I had the protection, defense and guidance from this law firm.

She is very knowledgeable, thorough, a great communicator, and truly represents best interests of her clients.
I utilized Parisa Shafiee Smith and her office, law offices of Smith & Kurbatova, to handle my mother’s immigration case. From the onset, Parisa conducted a very thorough interview to gather the necessary information from us, explained all of the forms, walked us through the application process and what we could expect, and gave a detailed list of the documents and information that we needed to gather. She stayed in constant contact with us, sent reminders of upcoming dates and handled everything in a way that made the process understandable and easier for us.
In conclusion, we could not be more satisfied, pleased, and happy with the level of service provided and the way that Parisa and her office handled our case. If you need a great immigration attorney, I highly recommend Parisa Shafiee Smith

To remove a person from our home, we required legal assistance. Following the filing of an unlawful detainer, I contacted Ms. Dodds via text, requesting her representation. Despite previous lawyers advising us to restart the process due to incorrect documents, Ms. Dodds assured us of her ability to help. Given our prior experiences with her, I was confident that all would be well. The case was promptly resolved in our favor, thanks to Ms. Dodds' professionalism and expertise.

Matt Walker represented me for 3 misdemeanor DV charges in Jefferson County. He heard my case and told me not to take the plea deal. With his help my case was Dismissed before trial.
Matt was there to walk me through every step. If I needed him he was always just a text away and would call as soon as he was available.
He suggested to meet as the trial got closer, not to go over anything but to calm my nerves as this was my first time in any sort of trouble.
He never made me feel rushed and listened to all concerns. He is also a huge LGBTQ advocate which for my case was essential.
I can’t recommend Matt enough and will forever be thankful for him and know if I ever needed counsel again he’s there.

I called Matt about a dispute with my neighbor who had mailed me a letter threatening legl action. Matt met me for coffee the same day I called him. When we met, he reviewed my letter and other documentation. Then he actually called the neighbor on my behalf, while I sat there, and worked everything out. It was amazing. When I offered to pay Matt for his time--he pointed out that he had only spent about thirty minutes to resolve my issue--so no charge. Matt is real and Matt is awesome.

My friends and family suggested I contact the law offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. located in Chicago. I chose to have Jim Hagler and Summer Du represent me. BEST DECISION I MADE IN YEARS!
I came to Jim Hagler because I was not getting any time with my daughter, even though we had "equal custody" after the divorce almost 4 years prior. Our original divorce paperwork from a different lawyer was vague and poorly written, leaving my ex-wife lots of loopholes to keep my daughter away from me, unless she felt like "granting" me access to see my own daughter. I was heartbroken, depressed and mad. I hope no one has to experience the pain I was going through. I wanted to be her father, not some weekend or periodic person that could only see her occasionally.
I was done with feeling helpless, and knew I had to stand up for myself and get my daughter back into my life. Every daughter needs her father, and ever father needs to be with his daughter! Jim and Summer refiled the custody paperwork so it reflected what equal custody really means. That started the expected battle for custody. And holy cow were they ready for it!
Jim and Summer are real hero's to me. They blew holes in very false accusation and unsubstantiated lie my ex-wife could dream up! And I assure you she came up with new ones every time Jim and Summer proved the last one was a lie! No matter how ugly the process became they guided me through it all with a level of support, dignity and professionalism which gave me the confidence to know we would come out on top! In the end even her own lawyer knew the truth, it was a great victory- and by victory I only mean having my daughter (and best friend) back in my arms!
Today, I have equal custody of her and could not ask for anything more in life! My relationship with my ex has also returned to normal and we are doing a great job coparenting. I never though any of this would be possible.
MY WORD OF ADVICE: Don't ever give up your rights as a father and do what you know is right- call Jim and Summer if you really want your daughter back!!!!!!!!
God Bless!

Navigating all aspects of divorce is overwhelming until you find the right attorney. James and his team eliminated as much of the confusion and concern from the process turning a difficult, tense situation into a manageable one, with a favorable outcome for both sides and most importantly, the kids. James and the firm have a great reputation and experience and both added undeniable value throughout the process from negotiations to the close of the matter. Throughout the entire process he listened to me, directed me to some valuable outside vendors to assist with ancillary issues, and saved me from making my own additional missteps while navigating the process. Outside of the process and the value he brought to my case, he is just a good person, making ethical decisions and looking for positive outcomes rather than dragging out cases and billable hours.

Going through a divorce was both expensive & time consuming. If you need to hire an attorney, make sure you hire the right one! I interviewed two attorneys prior to meeting Billie for a consultation. They just didn't have a positive attitude about my case & definitely no "I got your back" kind of feeling. Billie came highly recommended from long time friends & co workers. When i met Billie, I knew within minutes she was the one i needed to represent me.
All i wanted from the start was everything to be equal & fair between me & opposing.
Billie was a fireball from the start! Her hard work ethic and expertise kept opposing back tracking from their outrageous demands through the whole process. Plus, bringing in the financial expert saved me more than i thought was allowed by the law. Kept me well informed throughout the entire divorce process. I would without a doubt hire her again, if needed.

Ms. Hopwood and her staff were very responsive and understanding of my case. After a less than favorable original alimony determination with my first attorney, Ms. Hopwood was diligent in obtaining a much more favorable and equitable outcome for me. Ms. Hopwood understood the new alimony law and leveraged her knowledge for a successful outcome. She explained things in layman's terms and was straightforward with me. I am filled with relief and gratitude for what she did for me.

I was in a desperate situation when a friend recommended Constantine to handle my divorce. Six months ago, I walked into his law firm emotionally destroyed. Constantine was not only kind but also instilled hope in me. He guided me through the divorce process with patience, helping me to file for divorce and navigate every step of the process. Despite my ex-husband's lack of cooperation, Constantine's professionalism and persistence led to our initial agreement. Throughout the proceedings, he kept me informed, providing updates promptly at each step. I'm profoundly grateful for Constantine Zhukovsky's work and highly recommend him as a true advocate who genuinely cares.

I highly recommend Constantine Zhukovsky as one of the best family law attorneys in the San Francisco Bay Area. I had a very long, painful, and ugly divorce with my abusive ex with a Restraining order and a minor child on my hands. At first, I had a different attorney and felt so confused and helpless, and the divorce proceedings were going south. When I met Constantine he spent hours explaining my rights, laws, and proceedings. The most important part, he laid out the strategies for my case and let me think about it before I made any decision. From the start, I got the support and clarity I needed. I knew what would happen next, and what I should expect from each hearing. It was through divorce, but I am very happy I had Constantine on my side. I felt safe and protected. The proceedings were going very slow: lots of rescheduling from the opposing side, attorney substitutions, and the most annoying was that if you think you have an agreement with the opposing side, it doesn’t mean anything unless it is all put into paper and signed. My ex played this game a dozen times, and it cost both of us lots of money and time. Finally, after the years of divorce, I can put it all behind me, and I am very grateful to Constantine for his hard work and support.

While helping my brother with his divorce, I attended several meetings with Constantine and was very impressed with how he conducted his business. He took a no nonsense approach towards obtaining a full understanding of relevant financial and family situations. This allowed him to make a fair and timely settlement offer that aligned with guidance provided by California court systems. We had lots of questions and he was able to address them all and provide a thorough explanation behind each of his recommendations.
My brother’s wife took a much more aggressive approach, asking for everything and in my opinion stretched the truth. This backfired in court as Constantine was able to back up his case with solid facts. … and judges rule on facts not fantasy. My brother left court happy that day, the same can’t be said about his soon to be ex-wife.
Divorce can be a very frustrating and draining process. Constantine was able to provide my brother with the hope and confidence that he was not going to lose the shirt off of his back. Constantine proved to be worthy of that confidence by bringing the divorce to a fair and timely conclusion.
I wish you the best of luck, but then again with Constantine on your side you don’t need luck.

Andy and his team has been with me since day 1. He helped me to win full custody of my child. He then helped me to obtain move away orders years later. Now I’ve come back a 3rd time and he’s won for me yet again! He has never let me down and has always been honest and straight forward. Andrew and his team are supportive and clear when explaining and they set honest expectations. I feel so confident every time I’ve had to enter the courtroom because I have Andrew and his team on my side. I would recommend Andrew and his team to my loved ones and anyone who wants to have the best on their team.

Andrew Klausner is an awesome attorney! After 13 months of my case dragging on, and my previous attorney was just billing me dry. I decided to hire Andrew Klausner to handle my case. He took the bull by the horns, cut through all the crap that was being thrown around by opposing attorney. He argued the law like a pro that he is. Shut the other side down and won the case. Highly recommend Klausner and Johnson.
