Temi recently handled my divorce case prior to becoming a Magistrate. She is a consumate professional and is straight forward with her clients. Prior to hiring Temi, I had very little hope of spending adequite time with my children. Thankfully, Temi knocked some sense into me and the outcome was favorable.

Ms. Zeitenberg has successfully handled my very contentious divorce case with the utmost skill and professionalism. Her experience was seen through her skill in the courtroom and in her ability to draft documents that depicted my care and concern for my children. She knows from experience not only what the opposing party was going to do, but she knew how to articulate to the judge what he needed to see in order to make the best decisions for the children.
Ms. Zeitenberg has given me what has felt like undivided attention by returning my phone calls, updating me with new case information, and guiding me through muddy waters when I was emotionally stuck. She has sought to protect me and my children with a caring yet decisive action oriented approach.
Having seen her in comparison to other opposing attorneys, Ms. Zeitenberg out performed each of them in every manner.
I have already referred her to others and will personally continue to recommend her as one of the finest and most excellent family law attorneys.

I hired Temi while going through the most stressful and emotional time of my life seeking 50/50 custody of my infant daughter. Throughout the entire process, Temi was very knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the way. She was at all times accessible and quickly responded to any questions I had. Temi was extremely professional and continuously gave deadlines and provided follow up to a very uncooperative defendant and their attorney to keep my case moving along. A favorable outcome including 50/50 custody was negotiated during mediation and my case was resolved without going before the judge. I highly recommend Temi.

I recently saw Mike about a commercial leasing matter, and he is a truly reliable, dependable, committed, hard-working attorney. Mike is not only extremely knowledgeable and sharp, but he is also a very kind hearted and caring lawyer. It is a true pleasure to do business with him, and I would absolutely hire him again.

Mike assisted my husband and I with the documents on the sale of our house; as well as our wills. He was very knowledgeable and professional with all proceedings. When it came to our wills, he was able to provide guidance on questions as to how to direct assets such that the process would be easy for our executors. While simplified, it accomplished what both my husband and I had in mind from a beneficiary standpoint.
Mike is extremely trustworthy. We left power of attorney with Mike when we closed on our home, as we would not be present at the time of closing. He was also able to counsel us during the sale process, as counter-offers were not the most straight forward.
I would highly recommend Mike to a friend or a colleague; and, would not hesitant to use Mike again for my own personal legal counsel.

I worked alongside Andy for years and have always been impressed with his work ethic, professionalism, and litigation skills. Andy has the ability to perceive and evaluate how both simple and complex legal issues will play out on both sides - which makes him an excellent mediator. I hands down recommend Andy as both a litigator and mediator!

This review is in regards to Lisa's expertise in Family Law...
Lisa is by far the best attorney I have worked with. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the law, competent, hard-working, determined, reasonably priced and genuinely cares about you and your case. I had an interstate case that was rather complex. After speaking with Lisa, I knew she was the best attorney for the job. I had called about 7 other attorneys and they were all confused about how to go about my case and they were hesitant as to my next step. Not Lisa! Lisa knew exactly what to do! She was an angel. She is also one of the hardest working attorneys I have ever encountered. At no time did I ever feel in the dark about what was going on. She kept me up to date on everything and made sure I knew what was going on at all times. She oftentimes worked from home into the wee hours of the night (thanks Lisa). She managed to do all this within the retainer fee that I paid and my case was DONE. Yes DONE. She tied up all the loose ends of my case even though I wasn't in the state! I couldn't be more happy with the hard work she provided on my case. Beth, her paralegal, is equally as awesome. Ladies, my hats off to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of business for me and my daughter.

I chose Lisa just off of the reveiws from Avvo, and they have all proven to be true. She is super smart and really knows the law. Dealing with a custody case isn't the easiet thing to go through, but LIsa is so patient and she goes through every scenario that could happen. She very kind, but aggressive when she needs to be. I would email her with a question or concern and she responds promptly. I'm glad I chose Lisa to represent me, and she got me exactly what I asked for.

Lisa Smith is an expert at what she does. She knows the law; she is professional, highly intelligent, and down to earth. She helped me though what seemed like the worst part of my life by just keeping me informed, maintaining a happy and professional demeanor, keeping things in perspective for me in regards to the case. She was honest on possible outcomes of the case, she did not tell me what I wanted to hear - she spoke of real life possible outcomes. This was very helpful for preparing me mentally for the various possible outcomes. It was amazing to watch her at work on my trial in court, she is just very impressive. I would highly recommend this attorney.

Daniel A. Bachert’s a very kind and generous person . I have had an issue in family court in Texas and was beginning to feel completely overwhelmed and anxious . I haven't the funds for a lawyer, raising a family by myself . I put a post online , he answered my questions clearly and set me at ease , in just a couple of hour's .
I feel quite certain he would be a great choice as representation in any category, family law most certainty !
Thanks so much !

Mr. Daniel Bachert successfully represented me since 2015 in my case. I was all ready divorced and my ex-husband wanted to modify the child support. Even though the child support was modified, Dan was able to prove that my ex-husband was not only failing to pay child support, but the alimony and the court-ordered school expenses for over 10 years were also in arrears. My ex-husband was also found in contempt for failure to provide documents relating to the children. Mr. Dan Bachert provided excellent representation and service. He always gave me excellent legal advice. I will recommend him to anyone that has to go through any divorce proceedings.

I hired Dan after attempting to file what I believed was a simple custody and support arrangement regarding my then 2 year old daughter. Her mother had started refusing to allow me to see her, even though I had been sending her money to help with my daughter's expenses. I filed the initial paperwork and attended the first mediation on my own, believing that it would be simple. We were only together a short time but were not married, and I wanted to help raise and provide for my daughter. Unfortunately, her mother wanted me to provide for both of them and was determined to keep me out of my daughter's life until I agreed to her demands. I hired Dan because I quickly found out that the system favors mothers, and despite my intent, I was not going to be a part of my daughter's life if I didn't get legal help. Dan put me at ease right away. He worked closely with me over the next few months attempting to come to an arrangement that worked. Unfortunately, my daughter's mother held her position, and ultimately we had to go to court. My daughter's mother was extremely unreasonable and grasping at straws, making her volatile and unpredictable, but Dan was prepared for every possibility. His knowledge and professionalism kept me and my then fiancé calm and collected throughout the process. In the end, not only did Dan negotiate true 50/50 shared custody and cost sharing, but due to his presentation of the facts, I picked up my daughter the very next day. This was more than I could have hoped for after 7 long months of not seeing her at all. I highly recommend Dan as his expertise guaranteed me the chance to help raise my daughter and ensured she is part of my family as well as her mom's.

Malik was recommended to me by a friend to help me navigate my divorce, and I’m so thankful. Malik spent extra time with me on the phone to explain all the options and details.

My wife and I have been fighting for visitation for my 5 year old son from someone else,
For some odd Reason (so we though at the time) she would not allow the "father" to be in this child's life.
For the first time, Malik Leigh got my story out there in front of the judge and taken care of.
If you are just starting your Child Custody agreement or if you’re feeling beaten and you’re ready to give up, you need to hire this guy.
Having already experienced several attorneys who tell you what you want to hear, yet ultimately do nothing for you—except take your money, we gave Malik a try.
He has been an honest open real human being who genuinely cares. Rather than someone who just wants to collect our money.
He fought for us endlessly to find out if my son was even mine or not, and went out of his way to get proper information and paperwork for our case and well as termination.
After a tough fight- The Truth was finally revealed and everyone's stress and problems were put to rest.
Thank You so much Malik for helping Me and my wife open a new chapter to life.
Without you, I would have never known!
The only thing I REGRET is not hiring you SOONER!!

I recently retired from a local Municipality. I had went through a divorce in 2005.
I was unable to get the QDRO and income deduction orders done from 2005 through April 2021.
I contacted William J. Lobb on or about May 26th, 2021.
All items that I requested were completed and executed by 6/29/2021.
I cannot thank Mr. Lobb and his staff enough for getting this done ASAP.
I would reccommend Mr. Lobb and his staff for all legal issues.
The interaction, proffesionalism and exepediious handling of my case was a great stress relief.
Thank You

Bill Sussman was recommended to me by a very good friend of mine, therefore I had no doubt I had been put in the right hands. My case is a very complicated one, trying to purchase a property with multiple liens on. So far, Bill has guided me through this ordeal with great professionality and expertise. I always felt I could rely on him, knowing he would never let me down. Not only he is a man of rare integrity and honesty, he is most of all gifted with a high grade of humanity and sympathy, which is hard to find in this profession. I always felt he really wanted to help me because he really cares helping people out. For the above reasons I highly recommend Bill Sussman.

Bill handled the sale of my family home in Miami as I watched from afar on the west coast. Everything was done in a timely manner, and in such a way that I felt completely confident that all details were attended to and relations with the buyers' attorney were kept collegial. He kept me informed every step of the way. Selling this house was emotionally significant for me. and Bill made the process go as smoothly as possible.

I will forever appreciate how you helped me when I needed it the most.

Glenn was able to secure a substantial settlement from a health insurance company based on a contract dispute. The case settled before commencing arbitration resulting in significant savings in time and legal expenses. I believe the ability to communicate to opposing counsel his understanding of the facts in preparation for the case was a major reason for the expeditious settlement.

I struggled with the Social Security administration (SSA), regarding my benefits, for several years. The SSA was asking me to repay them $15,000. I sought counsel from Attorney Jacobson.

I’m glad I found Danielle to represent me during the worst time of my life fighting for custody. Danielle was amazing at understanding my situation, explaining it and fighting for my rights and all with my heart and pain in mind. She was always conscientious enough to think about the best outcome, considering the expense for each angle and the implications down the line. Danielle thoroughly explained each step and the pros and cons for all decisions. I really appreciate her experience, knowledge and her good heart in representing me. She was always timely with everything and fully informed of the details in my case. She is always wonderful and sweet but a knowledgeable fighter in court who always went in well prepared and ready for anything. What I loved most about working with Danielle is that she never sold me a dream and never gave me false hopes. She always came forward with honesty and the truth about all possibilities. Danielle is a great negotiator as well. Danielle was amazing and I will continue to recommend her to everyone I know.

Choosing an attorney when going through a devastating process such as a non amicable divorce is critical. I felt like my life was turned upside down and my heart was ripped into pieces. My biggest fear was hurting my two beautiful children in the process, and so protecting them was my main priority. I consulted with several divorce attorneys and the level of anxiety just kept increasing. It wasn't until I met Natalie Lemos that I finally felt safe and hopeful. She had been highly recommended by a friend and the minute I consulted with her I instantly knew she would be my "forever attorney". You see, Natalie was totally aligned with my family values. She is a woman of integrity and her main focus is the children's well being. All decisions were based on protecting us as a new family, with our new future. That is something a parent always can appreciate, it is priceless. Natalie guides you through the steps to consider pre and post divorce. She really cares about her clients, their financial stability and emotional state. You need her, she's immediately there. She will not make you wait. She literally spoils her clients. Shes effective and fast. She's not an attorney that prolongs the process. Her honesty and loyalty are the things I admire the most. She's strong in court and in mediation, I always felt well represented and at ease. She's phenomenal! I respect her for her outstanding mentoring and leadership during and after my divorce. She gave me hope when I was going through the darkest time in my life, I will forever be grateful for giving light to my life again.

Although divorce is not ideal, I’ve gone down that unfortunate path. Having Ms. Lemos on my side made a profound and positive difference. She ensured my kids were untouched by the unfortunate divorce process. Natalie's advisement helped me to prioritize my contentions. Her keen understanding of the nuances of family law coupled with her compassion and empathy for “the family”, made it possible for me and my-ex wife to find an amenable solution. So much so that today we are on good terms. Personally, I discourage my friends from pursuing divorce if at all possible. But once divorce becomes inevitable, then Ms. Natalie Lemos is the right person to have on your side! She’s smart, knowledgeable, balanced and particularly clear on helping you pinpoint what matters most. I highly recommend Natalie Lemos.

Drew Clayton represented me and my wife at an arbitration hearing in which we were claiming improper handling of our investments by brokers Raymond James. He readily grasped our problem, prepared most meticulously and carefully explained our fee options, ie either contingency or hourly billing.
The hearing ran for several days at a hotel in which all concerned stayed. It seemed to us that Drew and his assistant worked continously on our behalf, laboring on the case until late each evening. His performance throughout was most professional and compared very favorably with that of our opponents' lawyers. We prevailed in the matter and were awarded a decent amount of recompense.
Were I to have a similar problem Drew would definitely be my first choice and I recommend him most heartily

I have worked with over 20 lawyers in my life time and I would rate David the best of the best. There is no question that on all levels experience, competence, professional, fairness in recommended resolve. He is very unique having the ability in sincerely working toward settlement and avoiding prolonged litigation. He does the right thing in fairness to all involved. I have seen the passive side and I have seen the strong firm side of David. He can get tough when he needs to but avoids that arena until last resort. He is the fairest lawyer I have ever worked with including billing the client. I have never felt he billed me unfairly,something I cannot say about other council I have worked with. They say whats in your heart eventually comes to your face. David shows it upon your first meeting with him. Any one will be very satisfied with David. i strongly recommend him.

I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Ms. Feldman took the time to meet with me and discuss every aspect of my case. When she realized she couldn't help me with all of the legal problems I came to her for, she then utilized her time to find another lawyer for me. Although the other lawyer could have handled everything, I left the cases she could do with her, and I am so glad I did. She is an excellent and ethical attorney. I will go to her first for any future issues.

I would also say that her honesty and integrity is like nothing I've seen in the business world.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
- Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
- Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.
Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.
Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
