Annemarie, simply put, is incredible. From day one of our custody case, she heard me, she got me, and knew how to translate my needs into a cogent case. As a gay transgender man, this is not something I take lightly on any day, but least of all in the past year of fighting for primary custody of my son. She is fierce, tenacious, and will tell you exactly what it is. She strikes that difficult balance between being incredibly direct and yet not insensitive. And she battled for my son and I--tooth and nail--with confidence, skill and most importantly, success. Endless gratitude to you Annemarie.

I have had the privilege of working with Annemarie Tarara for the past 10 years. Her knowledge of the law and her devotion to her clients is amazing. My case started out as an amicable divorce with two small children. Over the years it turned out to be one challenge after another. Annemarie not only helped me navigate the law but gave wonderful advice on how to move forward. She is compassionate, smart, and tough which are all the qualities that I was looking for. Not only do I highly recommend her, but I have referred her to friends and colleagues throughout the years who have all been just as happy as I am. I could not have asked for a better attorney – now friend to support me in my most challenging times. Thank you, Annemarie!

Annemarie was kind and helped advise me during a difficult divorce process. She was there to explain things and was direct and honest about everything in the process. I felt like I had someone by my side to ensure everything worked out for me and my daughter. I am so glad I was connected with her. She made all the difference in surviving this.

Annemarie is a knowledgeable full service family lawyer. She is direct and to the point and doesn't waste anyone's time or money. She was able to show compassion and support when necessary and at other times be firm in her advice and direction to keep moving things along even when the other party was resisting. She made this emotionally difficult time in my life a lot easier for me.

Ms. Tarara is extremely professional. She gets to know her clients and works with them during what is one of the hardest times of your life. She will fight for you to get what you deserve and she will guide you to give an honest evaluation of what is worth litigating or just let it go as it’s not a good chance for winning. She hates losing and gets the job done.

Annemarie helped us at every step of our often-complicated second parent adoption process. We had a unique situation that took longer than expected and was often stressful, but she had prompt communication, explained everything we needed to know, and always welcomed us to call her when we wanted more information.

During the most difficult and chaotic time of my life, Annemarie was a voice of reason, experience and hope. She was organized, and clear in her direction and advice to keep me organized. She was so much more compassionate than other lawyers I interviewed. I hope I never need her services again, but would not hesitate to choose her if circumstances change.

Annemarie kept me informed & looked out for me by providing great legal advise. Her approach was supportive. Once the necessary steps were taken, we reached a result in a short period of time. I recommend her!

Jonathan and his associates provided outstanding service. When I was in a really bad situation in the 7th year after my divorced, they came to my rescue without hesitation. I appreciate their personal kindness and sympathy to my situation and their professionalism, knowledge and efficiency got the job done quickly, with as little cost as possible. This thank you is hardly enough for a job well done.

Jonathan and his colleagues are fantastic to work with. They provide sound advice, respond quickly, and have been super supportive throughout the whole process.
