I was recently represented by MK for my Divorce case and could not say better things about her services! She was supportive, knowledgeable and guided me through an emotional and overwhelming time. I was so happy with the end results as I was truly able to ensure I received what I was entitled to in order to set up my new life go forward. I learned so much in this process and can't thank MK and her team enough for their support during this time!

Mary is an attorney who cares, explains in detail and makes sure that you are comfortable with the next steps and decision making process. She is to the point, responds to your emails, and gives thoughtful advice so that you make decisions with a sound mind and move forward coming to an agreement that is fair, makes sense and not battle everything out in court. Highly recommend.

Divorce is a traumatic experience. Mary Katherine and her entire firm provided me with such excellent service that I had time to focus on my mental state. Everyone I've had the privilege to speak with in the practice was knowledge and efficient with my demands. In addition they had my best interest in mind the entire process, even on the days where I personally did not. Mary Katherine fought ferociously for my interests!

Mark and his firm truly set the standard in terms of family legal counsel. He could not be more professional, knowledgable, responsive, instinctual, or kind. He helped guide me to make choices that would give my case a better position, he never passed judgment, and truly got me through a really hard life chapter.

Mark is sharp as a tack and has extensive knowledge of the legal framework surrounding divorce and custody disputes. He guided me through a tricky separation with compassion and empathy. I consulted with a few other lawyers who were dismissive or condescending. What really set Mark apart was his sincere desire and ability to do right by his clients and the law. I couldn't have done it without him, and I recommend him highly.

Green Card başvuru sürecimde bir arkadasimin tavsiyesi üzerine Avukat Volkan Bey ve ekibiyle çalışmaya karar verdiğimde doğru bir seçim yaptığımı hemen fark ettim. Başvuru sürecimin başından sonuna kadar her aşamada beni bilgilendirerek, her zaman sorularıma ve endişelerime sabırla yanıt verdiler. En küçük detaylarla ilgilendiler ve her zaman nazik ve profesyonel tutumlarını korudular. Başvurumun onaylanmasının ardından bile her şeyin yolunda gitmesi için her türlü desteği sağladılar ve sağlamaya devam ediyorlar bu da benim için çok değerliydi. Volkan Bey ve ekibinin gösterdiği ilgi, güven ve samimiyet için minnettarım. İhtiyacım olduğunda hep yanımda oldular ve sürecin her anında güvenle ilerlememi sağladılar. Gönül rahatlığıyla herkese tavsiye ederim, çünkü gerçekten işlerini büyük bir özveri ve titizlikle yapıyorlar.

On yıllık green card başvuru sürecinden Amerikan vatandaşlığını aldığım bu güne kadar bilgi, tecrübe ve profesyonel bir titizlikle dosyamı hazırlayıp, kusursuz bir mülakat geçirmemi sağlayan değerli avukatım Volkan Anık’a ne kadar teşekkür etsem azdır.
Her ihtiyacım olduğunda ulaşabilmek ve iletişim kurabilmek her şeyi çok kolaylaştırdı. İşini ve müvekkillerini bu kadar önemseyen birisiyle çalıştığım için memnuniyetimi dile getirmeye kelimeler yetmez. Her seferinde gün ve saat farketmeksizin beni arayıp bütün sorularıma içtenlikle tek tek cevap verip beni bilgilendirdi.
Gerçekten Volkan Bey benim için bir avukattan çok fazlasıydı. Bu uzun ve yorucu süreçte desteğini hiç eksik etmedi.
Güçlü iletişim becerisi ve samimiyetiyle en stresli zamanlarımda beni rahatlattığı ve her seferinde yeniden motive ettiği için kendisine minnettarım.
Ayrıca bu süreçte bütün yardımları ve bana zaman ayırdıkları için ekip arkadaşları Deniz Bey’e, İrem Hanım’a ve tüm “Anık Law” ailesine çok çok teşekkür ederim.

Markhoff & Mittman The Disability Guys are SKILLED, PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED, AND VERY ATTENTIVE. This is by far the best LAW FIRM I EVER EXPERIENCED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! I ended up finding Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. The Disability Guys and I am so happy I did! I loved their logo, slogan, informative videos and blog. I wish I had found them at the beginning of my lawsuit, however it all worked out and I am very pleased with their work, professionalism, and efforts. AT THE DISABILITY GUYS they got back to me EXPEDIOUSLY every time I reached out to them via email or telephone call. They also take great pride in their work, marketing, and how they represent and communicate with their clients. I was very impressed. Benai Lifshitz esq., was very knowledgeable, professional and answered all of my concerns and questions with patience, ease, and expertise. The paralegals were kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and professional as well. THANK YOU Markhoff & Mittman, P.C. The Disability Guys!!!!

I don’t know where I’d be without Gordon Law, P.C. They saved me during one of the hardest times of my life. My divorce was messy, and I was scared I’d lose everything. But Steven fought for me like no one else could. He was relentless in court and made sure I got what I deserved. It wasn’t just about winning—it was about making sure I was okay. I’ll never forget how hard they worked for me. If you need a lawyer who truly cares, this is the place to go.

Добрый день. Хочу поделиться опытом сотрудничества с Ксенией. Заключили соглашение и Ксения объяснила как и в какие сроки будет все происходить. Рассказала какие документы приготовить. Подготовила и подала необходимые формы, направила на сдачу отпечатков. Перед судом провела несколько консультаций, где объяснила как будет проходить процесс, как себя вести, к чему быть готовым, на какие нюансы особенно обратить внимание. Также Ксения подготовила дополнительные материалы, предоставила необходимые судебные прецеденты. Сам суд прошел как и предупреждала Ксения. Я благодарен Ксениие за отличную подготовку и проведение процесса.

Stay away from this law firm. Their m.o. has not changed in years. Someone posted five years ago how Mr. Goldberg gave them the run around. He does the same to me and I am his client! He never returns my phone calls or my emails. I called the office recently and left a message for his partner and nothing. They don't value their clients. Go elsewhere. Had I known what I know now, I would have gone to a different law firm.

When we reached out to David, it was not long after Covid and the world changed as we all knew it. We needed someone strong, knowledgeable, experienced, and communicative. We found that with The Law Offices of David J Hernandez. David worked strategically, ensuring that each family member (Plaintiff) understood documents, and kept open communication with us throughout the whole process. He’s firm, hardworking, and a quick thinker. When meeting with the opposing side, I just remember feeling so grateful that he was representing us! You’re likely to feel the same. He truly defends you.

I am someone who never bothers to write reviews, even when I’m happy with a product/service. I am beyond thrilled with Daniel Kron’s services as a lawyer and his character as a person. Daniel Kron is beyond good. He will help you. He wants to help you. There is no one who will do a better job. No challenge is too big, too nuanced, too complicated for Daniel to handle. Stop wasting your time reading this review. Call Daniel if you need legal advice in any of his areas of practice, now.

Быть клиентом Карины доставляет большое удовольствие, уже не в первый раз, в виду её ответственности, эффективности, добросовестности и огромного опыта как специалиста в целом. Оценка 10 из 10. Благодарность Карине за поддержку и участие в нелёгких юридических вопросах. К ней я обратился по рекомендации и буду рекомендовать её всем, кому необходимы гарантия и точность.

Обращаюсь к Карине уже не в первый раз ( по разным вопросам) и всегда получаю высокопрофессиональную помощь в короткие сроки: мне нужно было перевести документы с английского на русский и украинский языки, проставить апостиль и пр.) Всё было выполнено на высшем уровне! Карина всегда оперативно отвечала и не жалела собственного времени, когда у меня возникали какие-то вопросы или нужно было внести незначительные изменения. Подготовленные ею документы были аккуратно упакованы в фирменный конверт Карины ( мне он очень нравится, храню его и не раз похвасталась перед друзьми, рекомендуя Карину, как знающего опытного адвоката и просто замечательную женщину.)
В этом году назрел вопрос подарить свою долю в квартире моей дочери, живущей в России. Я думала, что это будет долгий и проблемный вопрос. Но обсудив на консультации все детали, Карина определила пару месяцев. На самом деле всё осуществилось гораздо раньше, без всяких проволочек и прочего бюрократизма. И я и дочь остались очень довольны.
Спасибо, Карина!
Теперь с помощью Карины решаем ещё одно наследственное дело в Украине. Очень надеюсь, что всё будет сделано так же качественно, как и все мои предыдущие дела.
Потом обязательно оставлю отзыв, ведь о хороших людях, профессионалах своего дела нужно обязательно рассказывать.
Всем, кто что-то слышал о Карине Дюваль и до сих пор не решается к ней обратиться, очень рекомендую, не тратьте зря время. Карина - ваш надёжный помощник и друг!

I hired Angela after I was served papers for a modification of child and spousal support from a previous divorce case. Going through my initial divorce case was a very difficult time in my life and the lawyer I hired for that case didn't help make me feel any better. After what I experienced with my first lawyer I knew I needed to make sure I found the right lawyer this time and I was blessed to find Angela. She reviewed my previous case and helped me understand what I needed in this current case. She was thoughtful, honest and understanding of my concerns. In our court appearance she was professional and very confident, advising me the whole time. My initial experience with my previous lawyer was not a good one but my second time with Angela representing me was a charm. I highly recommend her and if I ever need a lawyer again I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

I was extremely excited when she called to say that my divorce had been finalized (in exactly the timeframe she gave). I have already shared her information with a close friend.

I highly recommend if you seek counsel that is passionate for your cause.

I found Elliot after interviewing several other attorneys that I just didn’t trust. It seemed to me like everyone else was all about the money and not concerned about my case. Not Elliot though. He met with me after his normal business hours, assured me that he will do the best he can for me and he sure did deliver the exact results I was expecting. I recommend him. I am pleased with the results. He is very responsive, if he doesn’t pick up he always texts back or returns your call. He is a perfect example of how money comes and goes but relationships last forever. He’s a good person.

Elliot Green helped our family immensely. Unfortunately, our family suffered when my daughters' mother behaved erratically, threw the children out of her home, and no longer could properly care for them. Because of Elliot's hard work, and the excellent job he did in direct examination at the trial, I won sole legal and residential custody of both children. Actually, Elliot did a supreme job, better than expected -- as I had gone into the proceedings thinking I would get residential custody and not legal custody, too. But Elliot got full custody in every respect for me, and this was the correct, just and safe conclusion for our family. Thank you , Elliot Green.

Meredith is a sharp strategist who knows New York divorce law and the matrimonial courts cold. She worked smartly and quickly, was highly responsive, and pushed hard for me without sugarcoating the situation if the law didn’t favor me on an issue. Meredith guided me to the settlement that was best for me and my children, and I am very grateful. I only wish I had hired her sooner.

Merideth was a lifesaver for my family. We actually worked on two divorces together. The second one was insanely difficult because my kids were involved and my ex wife chose one of the worst divorce lawyers in the business. He simply did not want to settle eventhough my ex wife did. I really don't know what I would have done without Merideths help. She is a real pro and she knows how not to make matters worse than they already are. I would and have recommended her to anyone that asks me. Hire her, she won't let you down!

- 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.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.

- 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.

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.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
