I hired him for my divorce. He did virtually nothing to represent me and charged me almost $9K. I negotiated my own deal with my husband, otherwise I could have expected the bare minimum. He would have charged me 15k to do full discovery. My ex is a very high earner and yet I ended up paying my legal fees. Well, of course Roland knows my ex's attorney very well for many many years. What's worse is that Roland treated me in an absolutely degrading, condescending manner. He came as a recommendation and I so regret taking this person's recommendation. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by someone I hired for any type of service. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!

Roland was the attorney for my 2.5 year review of my divorce decree. My first attorney knew divorce law well, however was not very good with unusual circumstances and understanding financials. Roland was an excellent listener and took the time to understand and empathize with what was important to me in outcomes. He not only understood the law, but could see the areas where we could negotiate with my ex and her lawyer. He confidently told me what we had control over and what we could influence. He was very good at educating me on the law and preparing me to have realistic expectations for outcomes. In the end, Roland negotiated a deal for me through a very difficult ex and created a financial solution that everyone was willing to accept. The solution was better than what I had expected and still met the needs of my ex. I couldn't recommend Roland any more highly.

I came to Roland in high stress Order of Protection situation. I already had the OOP in place but the other party was attempting to have it modified. Roland explained everything from the beginning and never made any promises he couldn’t keep. The counsel I received with Roland was so worth the money and I would hire him over and over again if I needed to. He knows the laws and knows how to explain those laws to help everything make sense. His counsel was so outstanding the other party ended up backing down before the judge. I am so grateful I found Roland and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

Divorce can be one of the most challenging times in your life. Roland set realistic expectations from the very beginning and executed superbly every step in the process. Not only was Roland my attorney, he became a coach, counselor and kept me grounded throughout the difficult judicial process. He is highly regarded amongst his peers which I discovered was invaluable. His tenacity and attention to detail made for a successful outcome in my situation. I am so glad Roland was on my team versus the other side.

Roland Ernst has handled 3 post divorce issues for me. He was recommended to me by 3 different friends who had glowing comments about their experiences. Communication was timely and thorough. Mr. Ernst is an extremely skilled attorney and was instrumental for favorable resolutions to my issues. I always felt that Mr. Ernst explained issues to me in an easy to understand manner. Even though the issues were emotionally charged and financially based, Mr. Ernst kept the process on track to achieve the best possible outcomes. I am so grateful to have used his legal expertise.

Roland was extremely professional and proved to be a reliable source of strength when going through a divorce. I stated that I wanted things to be handled fairly from the beginning and unfortunately the other side does not always play by the same rules. In the end, fairness prevailed and in large part due to Roland's guidance. Not enough good things can be said about Roland as he helped me through this difficult transition!

Roland handled my case amazingly. I was close to giving in as emotionally, it was taxing. Roland explained to me why I was going through the process and assisting me in the right direction. He cares but is tough when needs to be. Thank you Roland for everything.

If you are looking for a divorce attorney I'm so sorry you are facing such a difficult situation however, if you hire Roland he will help make it as painless as possible. Roland returned my calls the same day, he prepared the documents exactly the way he said he would and his billing never surprised me.

Roland Ernst is very well versed in several areas of law. I required his services for a family law matter on several occasions. He is not your run of the mill attorney. He is very intelligent, thorough, and considerate of the emotional taxation matters like these can cause. He is willing to answer questions in a timely manner and is patient when you need clarification of the law or just plain do not understand. You will most definitely receive solid legal advice from a professional and respectful attorney. I will use his services again should the need arise, which in family law seems inevitable. Best attorney in the area!

When a person is in need of a lawyer, it's often a difficult time for that individual. That is why it is so important to find a lawyer you can trust, who has knowledge about the law, who responds in a timely manner, and is sensitive to your needs and emotions. I personally depended on Roland to guide me through important decisions that were in the best interest of my children. I highly recommend Roland Ernst to anyone who wants a lawyer who puts his clients first. Roland has strength, knowledge, perseverance and personal commitment.

Quality representation - very knowledgeable in all areas of Family Law. Billing is extremely reasonable and very detailed. Roland cuts to the heart of the matter and makes every attempt to avoid the "chafe" that is too often introduced into family law litigation. I trust Roland.

I was introduced to Roland through a mutual friend, in 2000, while going through a difficult divorce. He began by dispatching with the ineffective lawyer who'd been mishandling my case. He then applied his knowledge of the law to get me a just and equitable settlement of marital property, and handling of child care and medical expenses, and visitation. He assisted me in thinking my way through difficult decisions that promoted the best outcomes for my very young children. In 2003, when my son was diagnosed with developmental disabilities, he helped me navigate the Due Process procedures with my local school district, who had refused to provide my boy with the appropriate support he needed in the public school system. When I remarried in 2006, Roland wrote my prenuptial agreement, to protect my assets. Shortly after my 2nd marriage, my new husbands ex-wife began threatening us and my children. Roland supported us with an emergency order of protection. In 2010, when the public school district completely failed my son, Roland, again, applied his expertise in assisting our family with the conflict resolution proceedings. The following year, he worked closely with our education advocate, and helped us obtain a private placement in a therapeutic day school, where my son is excelling in ways we never imagined possible. When my ex-husband took me back to court, in 2013 to get his child support reduced, Roland negotiated an agreement that protected my daughter's interests regarding college tuition, books, and living and transportation expenses. Always, Roland's first priority is what is in the best interest of his client. For my family, every endeavor for which we have sought legal advice and action, those interests have been served by his keen legal mind, his ethical application of skill, and his compassionate heart. I would - without reservation - recommend Roland Ernst.
