Tony, of Abear Law, was recommended to me by a dear friend, who was also going through a divorce. I was having a very difficult time with my ex husband who was represented by his brother. Not only was I being threatened by the both of them, they were surprising my attorney and me at every turn, with false accusations and emergency motions. Tony helped me after my divorce when my ex-husband failed to meet his obligations. I thought no one would take my case since mine was difficult and I don't make a lot of money as an artist. Tony, who is well respected by the community and the Judge, is a good person and is fighting for me. I suffer great anxiety from my marriage and the awful divorce experience and Tony has made this process bearable for me, so that, together, we can fight for what is right. Tony is a God send.

Joan van Oss, was very professional and attended to every detail. She made the process of my divorce go smoothy as possible. Joan was a pleasure to work with.

Experienced attorneys and helpful staff. Relaxed environment, toys for kids to play with.

Patty Fox is a great person to work with.

I recently went to see Anthony about my divorce... I can tell you that he cares about your case and not what other lawyers / judges think of him! Why is that important? Because most other lawyers think of you (their client) as a short term prospect for $$$ and work the political game of "I might need that opposing counsel in the future). Meaning you, the client get the short end of that stick. Anthony, will ensure that You get the best outcome possible!

I had an issue regarding a divorce of 11 years ago. I made an appointment with Tony and I felt very easy to talk to and he understood my concerns. He was very professional and I highly recommend him. My biggest regret is he did not represent me in my divorce originally.

I hired Patti Fox as my divorce attorney. In her consultation she came off headstrong, confident, and confirmed to me she would do her best to help me. My divorce was brutal, and my ex-partner put me through the ringer to take my daughter from me. Patti was strong and skillful for the first 4 months of divorce, then she started slacking. Communication was inconsistent. She would continuously ask me to search for and resend the same documents over and over. She did not provide a bill for the first 7 months of divorce until I had to ask twice for it. It was so high I struggled to keep consistent payments high enough to keep it down. I began disputing some concerning charges because I saw duplicate charges on my bill. It was clear she gave up when it became a financial situation. The reviews are accurate….if you can pay the bill, she will try. If she sees it’s an easy win for her, she will work harder. She comes off strong, but for a lot of people where they’re on the struggling end of a fight…she will give up.

In retrospect, I wish I’d hired her for my divorce in ‘09. She represented me starting in late ‘19 to get full custody of my children from their abusive mother. That’s not always an easy task for a man. Her legal acumen is top tier and she’s razor sharp. There was never a problem with communication and she never tried to name nickel and dime me for phone conversations that sometimes lasted a good hour. She was always one step ahead during the litigation and finally by the end of this past summer we were done. My children are safe and it was worth every penny.

Patricia Fox helped me with a difficult situation ‘ She was professional but ver caring

I chose Patti Fox based on the numerous reviews. I figured the few bad ones had to be outliers. Moody disgruntled clients. Please go elsewhere! After 7 months of basically filing papers and cc numerous emails they charged me 20+k and accomplished nothing. As soon as she got me to take money out of my retirement to pay them, she dropped me as a client. We have a house, 1 child, and a couple retirement accounts. This was not a difficult case. Men...she will not fight for your rights as a parent! Be warned! Additionally every time I needed her to be the professional, she would ask me what I wanted to do...I didn't know what to do... that's why I hired a lawyer. She seems incapable of anticipating the oppositions responses and actions. She was always caught off guard and seemed helpless to know how to respond. This was a huge waste of money and now I have to start all over. If you have a ton of money to waste, go for this firm. Otherwise I would stay far away.

I hired her because of good reviews in Google and good impression in the initial consultation. I assumed she would be good based on her experience and her higher hourly rate. But my judgement was totally wrong. She was not very talkative or not guaranteed anything at front. But it turned into not informative. I intended to have her revised the material agreement given by the ex-spouse. But it turned into the petition and started the case. In addition, there were careless typos, grammatical mistakes and totally wrong client name in her paperwork which not understandable with her experience and expensive fee. I complained about the matters. She asked me to look for another attorney instead of accepting her mistakes. In addtion, she or her firm did not update about the final judgement until I contacted her a month after the divorce was finalized. She apologized for the delay, but still not understandable. The delay caused me the problems too. The firm is very prompt to send me the bill, though. She must be good and experienced attorney. But She was not the right one for me and for my simple divorce case. I hired too expensive attorney for my case.
