Leonard Englander: Total pro, short and to the point; he speaks English, not legalese.
Honest, straight forward and direct.
He affirmed that I was proceeding correctly, but also told me about my chances for success.
I appreciated his honesty, "real world" legal experience and knowledge of the law, and his direct means of communication.
I recommend Leonard Englander without reservation.

I will gladly share my experience here, as it changed my life. Without going into dramatic details I am a father who cares very much about my son. Helping him develop into a responsible adult is the most important part of my life. Prior to coming to A Team family law that was going to be a impossible task. The facts are that hiring a lawyer is a expensive adventure regardless of the circumstances but Valerie was more than fair with me when it came to charging me for her time. Hopefully I will never need these types of services again but if I do I couldn't imagine hiring anyone but Valerie. I will never be able to truly express my gratitude but just know that it was a life changing experience for me and I got everything that I wanted and everything I deserved.

I was pleased to have been referred to Patrick Crawford, Esq. by another expert in family law. That lawyer referred me to Patrick because one of his areas of expertise is being able to navigate the complicated aspects of divvying up retirement assets after a divorce.
I was impressed by Patrick's professionalism and his exceptionally speedy responses and follow-through. I felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend him.

Not only did Val help me navigate the process and eventually get the best outcome I could, she was also patient, kind, and went to bat for me the way no other attorney previously had.

I truly appreciated Rob Greenberg’s help and legal services with my divorce. It was not an easy situation, but I believe I was given appropriate and helpful advice. Rob took time to be supportive and encouraging when my situation became complex and daunting. Additionally, the law firm’s legal assistant, Ashley, was a dream and kept me informed of the details.
Rob will be my legal representation of choice in future matter.

If there was a way to rate less than one, this man and his law firm deserve a zero or a -5. Always unprepared. I never saw his office despite my multiple calls (a friend said "that is what they do in Baltimore and Annapolis"),
He will always get documents the day before court date or sometimes in the court house on the hearing date (when do you prepare a defense or a strategy dear attorney?)
He first advised to countersue just to bump up his time and money arguing that it was the best strategy in a divorce case. While this aggravated the situation with my ex-wife, he advised me to consent to a protective order where I did nothing and I had evidences and a witness (it was just a strategy from the other side to get me out of the marital property). Until this day I don't understand why you will ruin someone life just to make sure your firm is making money. Contersuing will mean that you are presenting another case against the plaintiff, which he never did, it was just a way to bill the time and make more money. Mr greenberg and his law firm are the place where you should never go. He prepared documents, billed me for the time spent preparing those documents and surprisingly never submitted the documents but I should pay for it while I was waiting to see the document submitted and was never aware that he decided not to submit my documents without consulting me. He sent me emails saying "this is what you can get at a minimum" but ended up going for less, still today, my ex still owe what came from the settlement under his magnificiently poor advice) and convincing me to let my ex take my son to another state under the reason that if we are in the state where the defendant was moving I will have 50/50 physical and legal custody. Anyone else who saw my case and evidences wondered why I did not get full custody. Why focus on my immigration status when I already had a brilliant immigration attorney and had/have no issue with my lawful residency in the US? In term of confidentiality, don't trust this man, He called my immigration attorney to discuss the status of my bill and make me look bad.
Today I have to travel from Maryland to Houston every other month to see my son, barely see/communicate with my boy, I'm still struggling because I have no family here and at that time I had been living in the US for 3 years including the 2 years I couldn't work, the support I was supposed to receive each month as child support for not making enough including my share on this marriage, the support my ex wife was federally binded to provide through a signed affidavit of support for leaving everything behind to come here were left on the table and this man called "greenberg" or "nightmare" is going after my wage under the pretense that I did not finish paying him. My marriage was not a success, but picking the phone and contacting this man based on fake reviews online was the worst thing in my life. I could have just show up by myself at the court house and get better outcomes. NEVER GO TO THIS MAN AND HIS LAW FIRM. He will put you in a worst situation than the one you are trying to get out off. It's because of this kind of man that some people don't trust attorneys/lawyers.

I want to say thank you Mr. Koslow. Before your services, I fighting a losing battle trying to get custody of my son but with your help, I was finally granted custody. I appreciate your honesty and counsel during my custody battle and most importantly I value that you do not beat around the bush and give the information as it is.
Mr. Koslow does not waste time and will not waste yours. He is reasonable with his price, and I say it was worth every penny.

Dave is an excellent Attorney. He is very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the process of my divorce. He also allowed me time to heal from this tragic time in my life.

Dave was my lawyer in a modification of child custody and visitation case. From the moment I spoke to him, I felt that I was in good hands. He sprang to action on short notice for an initial hearing and continued to be responsive and communicative throughout the entire journey. His grace and integrity are unparalleled. He helped me maintain perspective, answered all my questions, and informed me of all realistic possibilities. He’s steady, patient and calm – but also, strong and fierce in an understated way. Thanks to Dave, my children know that I will always stand up for them and that they can have faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Dave to anyone dealing with a child custody case and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises again.

Hands down - hiring Patrick Crawford was the BEST decision of my life. I am eternally grateful for his wise counsel. Throughout my case, he helped me understand the most (and least) important items to consider in my divorce. He eloquently and assertively responded to a flurry of motions from my ex-wife.
Patrick is thorough in his efforts and efficient with time & money. In the courtroom and otherwise, he is professional, courteous and punctual in his appearances and filings.
I never wanted to go before a Judge for a decision, yet the circumstances of my case (including custody disagreements) made it unavoidable. Patrick was prepared for trial; I went into those hearings feeling prepared and confident with my case. Patrick is a valuable advisor.
Patrick receives my highest recommendation.

Nathan Volke represented me in a custody/access case, change of name, as well as other civil cases throughout the process. He took the time to truly understand my situation, help me through a trying time, and walk me step by step through the process of getting shared custody. The outcome was better than anticipated and I can't express how I highly I would recommend his services. He was great with communication from the start and throughout the two-year process.

Her attention to detail and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome for her clients truly sets her apart.

- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
