Wasserman White Family Law provided excellent insight and advice throughout a challenging experience! I felt prepared at every step of the process!

That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally. I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence. In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me. For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place. She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

I had never had to retain a lawyer before but Ginny was so helpful in navigating the whole process! She answered my questions patiently and helped me through a very difficult time in my life! Very thankful for her and the whole team at Wasserman Family law.

Could not be happier with Mr. Stavros' services as counsel. He's the most personable lawyer I've ever met and I would recommend him to close friends and family.

If you are looking for a fantastic lawyer, you can stop looking! Laurie and her team were wonderful, making a difficut situation easier. Laurie was quick, honest, and a great advocate for me. I recommend her and her team without any hesitation.

I worked with Laurie throughout my divorce over the last year. She was unfailingly professional, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the process. I cannot recommend Wasserman Family Law highly enough to do it justice. 7 out of 5 stars.

Laurie Wasserman helped guide me through the whole separation and divorce process starting from the initial intake. Her advise and counsel were invaluable to me, and made this process run very smoothly. She explained what to expect all along the way while making me feel comfortable during a difficult time in my and my children's lives. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her firm.

Laurie Wasserman's Family Law firm has been fantastic to work with. I personally worked with Virginia and I couldn't have had a better more professional experience. Virginia is not only a fantastic lawyer but you can tell she truly cares about her clients and their families. I also had the opportunity to speak with Laurie about another family matter for some recommendations and references for other vital support for my family and she was extremely helpful. The referral's she gave are still working with my family and we are truly grateful. For so many reasons! Professionally and personally this firm goes above and beyond for their clients. Sydney, is very responsive and a very great addition to the team! Thank you all so very much!

I had a very time sensitive issue regarding a name change and miss Yeoman handled extremely fast. I highly recommend the Wasserman Family Law.

I couldn't be happier that I chose William Stavros as my lawyer. Mr. Stavros demonstrated an exceptional level of attentiveness and professionalism. Not only did he promptly return my phone calls whenever I reached out to him, but he also often reached out to me without prompting. This proactive approach made me feel valued and supported, especially during such a stressful time. Not only did Mr. Stavros secure the best possible outcome for my case through his negotiation skills and expertise, but his presence alone was incredibly comforting. Knowing that I had such a dedicated and capable professional on my side gave me a sense of confidence and peace of mind. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for Mr. Stavros's assistance. He is truly worth every penny, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Without his hkelp, I don't know how I would have navigated through this challenging situation. Thank you, Mr. Stavros, for your outstanding support and advocacy.
