I referred a friend of mine to Atty Schmelkin as she was beginning to think about divorcing her angry and out of control husband. She was very anxious about everything and was so pleased with her conversation with him. He answered all of her questions, provided lots of support and made her feel calmer. She felt safe and was so glad to speak with a professional who took the time she needed.

Marc is a highly skilled lawyer and has a strong ethical and empathic core that guides his work.

Marc Schmelkin and his partner are knowledgeable, experienced family law attorneys who provide the highest quality of legal services available for their family law clients. I am an attorney myself, and do not hesitate to refer my clients who need family law representation or consultation to Marc and his partner. I highly recommend them.

Marc was extremely helpful to me during a difficult time. He was diligent and helped bring to light things I needed to consider that I had yet to think through in order to make sure everything was completed as of my divorce hearing date.

Marc knows what he is doing. Well done

Howard brought Ann into my divorce case from hell which dragged on over several years. And I am so very glad to have had Ann stand by me during this time. Ann was very attentive to my needs and what I wanted to happen with my case. Ann offered invaluable advice, took meticulous notes during our meetings and saved me from myself during trial. Ann brought a unique female perspective. An example, Ann told me not to cross my arms in court as that suggested defensive body language and might be picked up by the judge. Ann dealt with opposing counsel's unreasonable tactics respectfully, successfully and tactfully. Ann also help negotiated the term of the settlement agreement paying attention to those devils of the details.

From the moment that I met Attorney Breau-Karpenski, I was put at ease. I though that I had a very difficult and emotional case, yet Ann did not hesitate and immediately inspired my confidence in myself and in her. I was unsure of myself and confused as to what the best actions were for me to take and Ann made me feel confident and comfortable through out the entire process. She explained every step to me, and was always encouraging and supportive. She inspired me to ask for and she got exactly what I needed and deserved. She and everyone in her office worked tirelessly on my case and are a great team. I honestly do not think that I would be in the positive financial or emotion position I am without her efforts. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Atty Karpenski was very aggressive while working to settle my divorce. She made sure that I received a good settlement and that my interests as well as my childrens' interests are protected in the future. She was very responsive and patient while I was very emotional during an extremely difficult divorce.

From the moment I met Ann, I knew she would work to get what I needed done ~quickly and efficiently. Ann kept the process of mediation at a pace that enabled the final divorce process to be completed within 12 weeks, to my highest satisfaction. Ann kept the process simple and incremental, so the legal process wasn't so overwhelming. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone.
