I recently had the pleasure of working with Natasha to draft a premarital agreement, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, Natasha demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Natasha's communication skills are top-notch. She was always readily available to answer any questions I had, whether by phone, email, or via video meeting. She instantly put me at ease, making the process feel less daunting. One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with Natasha was her patience and willingness to ensure I understood every detail of the agreement. She took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was clear and easy to grasp, never once making me feel inadequate for not being familiar with legal terminology. Natasha's approachability and friendliness made the entire process feel collaborative rather than intimidating. She listened attentively to my concerns and preferences, and incorporated them into the agreement while simultaneously providing valuable insights along the way. Thanks to Natasha's expertise and guidance, what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process turned out to be surprisingly smooth and straightforward. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and that I felt confident in the final agreement. If you're in need of a trustworthy attorney who will make the process of drafting a premarital agreement as painless as possible, I wholeheartedly recommend Natasha.

Natasha is a skilled professional mediator and lawyer. We saved tons of money doing our divorce through mediation. She was very patient through the process and kept us on track to get the paperwork filed. She made sure we both understood the laws and entitlements. We were able to submit our papers to court in a reasonable time. She's also very personable and nice to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Peng and Attorney Kong on my O-1B visa application last year, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their expertise and dedication throughout the process. From our initial consultation to the final approval, they demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the O-1B category and provided invaluable guidance tailored to my specific field. They were always available to address my questions, providing clear and concise explanations, making the complex immigration process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking dedicated, knowledgeable, and highly professional attorneys for their immigration needs.

My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best. When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived. Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

I got my greencard as short as 7 months and we didn’t even go through interview process. He is so professional and knows what he is doing. You can always reach out to him very easily. So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

She was very thorough in explaining the process of my personal injury case and what I should expect. Getting into an accident is already stressful , so to have an attorney that showed concern for what was in my best interest was a great relief. She was able to get me over $20k on a claim insurance was only wanting to give me $2500.

The level of appreciation I have for Jenn McCabe and her team of associates is hard to put into words. The court system could really be described as a foreign land. One that is unfamiliar and structured in such a way that it’s almost impossible to navigate on your own. So if you find yourself having to enter into this system with a deeply emotional or traumatic situation on hand the pressure to have a wider perspective on how that system works is essential! That’s where Jenn McCabe came in and completely changed the trajectory of my case the moment she took it on. She goes above and beyond to do whatever she needs to do to give you the best fighting chance in court. Before I had Jenn I had so much anxiety entering the court room. After having her as my advocate she represented me in court better then I could have ever done and I finally got the justice I deserved. This brought down my anxiety and kept me safe knowing someone else I could trust was representing me and presenting my case the best way possible. I’ve had an ongoing custody battle for over 2 years now and after hiring Jenn and her team I was able to attain full custody of my son and child support. Bottom line if you’re looking for a highly competent, experienced and hardworking lawyer you can be assured that Jenn will meet all your expectations and more. I am beyond grateful for her guidance and level of professionalism. She’s the real deal and very pleasant to work with, down to earth and passionate in what she does. All my gratitude to Jenn and her team again I couldn’t have done it without them!

I have had the pleasure having Angela Enholm representing me for my family court case. She works around the clock ensuring that my money is spent where it counts! My Children! She fights in court, she will advise you on courses to take to be proactive, to have that next step completed before the courts advise what each family will have to do to gain custody, or to keep custody. Angela will take the time to prep before court. Angela also has an amazing staff, that is on top of all documents, and exhibits needed for filing! My recommendation when seeking a consultation or representation would be Angela Enholm all the way!

Relentless, resilient, unbridled, unwavering, steadfast, dogged, persistent, and tenacious are just some of the words I using when describing Enholm law firm. I will start from the beginning, Angela and her staff have always been professional first and for most but have that personal touch that makes a HUGE difference when dealing with family law matters. Everything in life starts with communication. Enholm law firm has always answered the phone with in just a few rings and returns emails in a timely manner. If I didn’t know that Angela and her staff had other clients I would think that I was the only person they dealt with. I cannot say enough about the amount of support that Enholm law has provided during the duration of my family matter. They have answered all of my questions in a supporting way without given me a false sense of hope at the same time. Enholm law does everything they can to reduce the amount of stress their clients are experiencing. If you need to go to trial with Enholm law you will feel very confident heading into the court room. They are meticulous in their preparation and make sure that you completely understand what is going to happen. Every person I have had the opportunity to interact with at Enholm law is first and foremost a professional and second a friend that is there to listen to your needs and concerns. I will always recommend Enholm law to anyone that has a family matter that needs legal assistants.

I can't say enough on how excellent Mr. Shipman has been as well as his staff in handling me as well as the divorce situation. He has been kind and understanding as well as very thorough. The cost(s) involved was far better than I expected. He was very fair to both my ex wife and myself during the mediation process and gave me excellent advice through out.

James handled our custody mediation case. From the start he was straightforward with us about the probable outcome. He laid out the risks but also what the likely hood of gaining out desired parenting plan was in modification. His expertise in this field is hard to come by, and being able to trust what advice he was giving gave us piece of mind of a very uncertain time. His experience in mediation was helpful to help walk is through what to expect and we believe it's because of him that we were able to come to an agreement outside of a trial setting.

Donna Smiedt was recommended to me by a dentist friend of mine. He himself had been through a few divorces and knew who was good and who was not. Not only is Donna incredibly proficient at what she does professionally, She is a very compassionate caring and helpful person as well! She knew how to communicate well with both myself & my now ex-husband. I got an incredible settlement -fair & generous. Partly because she was able to speak in a non-confrontational tone with my ex and convince him that it was best to be fair. I’m quite sure no other lawyer could have attained those results due to his type “A” personality. There are so many examples I have of how compassionate and how she helped me mentally through what was the worst time in my life but we don’t have enough room here. Let me just leave it to say don’t regret this huge decision in your life… Make sure you choose the right lawyer.

I originally booked a consultation last year with Pervaiz to discuss my options since I was going through divorce. I didn't have enough info for her during my 1 hour consultation so she cut my session short. So I ended up having a credit for 150$ from the 300$ hour consultation. After I finalized my divorce amicably with my ex, I decided to reach out to schedule a consultation to write a Will. No Money was collected for this appointment, I just reminded them I had the credit still in my account and they confirmed. I called and emailed the day of my appointment to let them know I had a 103 fever and that I was very sick and I am not able to discuss anything related to a "Will". I mean how could you? With a high fever!! This is a serious topic and you need you full brain capacity to do so!! Pervaiz refused to reschedule my appointment and they told me if I do not call at my appointment time that they will not allow me to reschedule. I was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia and they can clearly tell I am not making my sickness up from the way I was coughing. I offered to send a doctor's note however she just decided to take the credit I have left with them instead of being empathetic with my situation! This clearly shows you that she doesn't care about people! And she just knew I had a credit and took it! Sickness happens and this unpredictable. I will not recommend her to anyone especially after what happened to me!

I had an exceptional experience working with Baghdaserians Law Group on my child custody case. From start to finish, the entire team showed professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation. Tarek Kholaki was the attorney, and I cannot say enough about his dedication. He remembered every aspect of my case and meticulously prepared all of my declarations, ensuring they were accurate, detailed, and effectively represented my position. His attention to detail and clear communication made the process smooth and stress-free. For my hearings, Daniel Leonetti represented me in court. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to advocate for me both in and out of the courtroom were outstanding. I felt confident knowing I had such skilled representation. One thing I appreciated most was how seamless the communication and collaboration were between Tarek and Daniel. Together, they ensured that no detail was overlooked and that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Patrick Baghdaserian also played a vital role behind the scenes, providing invaluable support to the team as a whole. His contributions ensured that everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the entire team worked together efficiently and effectively. I also want to commend the office staff, who were always warm, welcoming, and highly organized. They made a potentially stressful situation much easier by ensuring that all paperwork was handled correctly and on time. I never had to worry about administrative details, which allowed me to focus on my case with peace of mind. There were no drawbacks to my experience. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my child. I wholeheartedly recommend Tarek Kholaki, Daniel Leonetti, Patrick Baghdaserian, and the entire Baghdaserians Law Group team. Their professionalism, teamwork, and genuine commitment to their clients set them apart. If you’re facing a child custody case, you’ll be in excellent hands with this group.

Thankful for Patrick and Daniel at this firm! They were helpful, understanding and knowledgeable. From the start I knew I had hired a truly professional team to be by my side. My case not only involved custody but a restraining order as well. Because of their hard work I was granted everything I wanted to keep myself and my family safe.

Kevin Lessman is my attorney and has been for two years now. He is persistent on about me taking more of an interest in my defense. When I don't call or keep my appointments, he gives me a herd time about it. I realized that he is trying to fight for me and needs my help. When I had a second case come up for the same thing, I kept my appointment and he did his very best and kept me from going to prison. He is a great person and never looks down on anyone or passes judgement. He is easy to talk to and works hard get the best deal. Thanks Kevin, for everything.

Carolina assisted me with an ongoing matter that I had with a neighbor in the apartment complex I lived in. For over 1 year, we had multiple complaints with these neighbors to the building management that included several calls to the local police department. Unfortunately, our building management didn't do anything to rectify the situation. Our complaints really fell on deaf ears. All that changed when I reached out and hired Carolina to handle the matter. Carolina got immediate results after we hired her. She was able to not only get building management's attention but was instrumental in helping us reach a release agreement to break our lease earlier. I really appreciate how Carolina handled this matter. My only regret was not hiring her earlier. I give her an A+ for service and an A+ for getting results.

Word cannot express my gratitude for Carolina Calderon. Her legal knowledge and dedication to getting my security deposit back were phenomenal. I wanted to settle for just getting the security deposit back however, she knew I was entitled to more and kept fighting until she secured additional funds without going to court. If you are reading this, allow me to introduce you to your attorney.

I called her office and Im surprised that she picks up her own calls NO Secretaries! She kept me posted at all times delivers result and I mean even weekends and very late night she's up working on your case. She is not a greedy lawyer, although SHE DOES HAVE A RIGHT TO BE... I tell her accurate info and soon as she asked me to read and review her documentations and letters I do it, and she reciprocate and goes above and beyond her clients cooperation.... THAT'S THE KIND OF LAWYER SHE IS, she does not say a lot at first, she listens to you and lets her client weigh in their options, she wont instigate fight between her client and the other parties just to earn a living... but she surely wont let her client end up as loser.... My ex's lawyer was very greedy and very ghetto... NOT JULIE... she's very calm, classy and as a matter of fact when we were in the court, random people approached her and told her " YOU ARE VERY SHARP AND CLASSY UNLIKE OTHER LAWYERS, THEYRE ALL MOUTH AND YET THEIR BRAINS ARE EMPTY", and when our case has received judgement she even had to help the other lawyer figure out what to do next. She comes in prepared and organize and on time, if not half an hour early. Ive not seen any lawyer ever before like her and my Dad was a lawyer he was very kind and very smart, but JULIE?... I MEAN SHE IS SET APART, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER LAWYER LIKE HER, at least not my lifetime.

We hired Mrs. Julie Warshaw's for Guardianship and Special Education Law services. Throughout she was kind, understanding, patient and very diligent. Guardianship was completed very efficiently within a few weeks. Even for the special education services her approach was different than others. While discussing the matter she would even use the nicer words for the other party too. Saying let us understand their point of view and resolve the matter. Unlike some others professionals who will bash the other party during the first appointment but will be less responsive once the contract for services is signed. But we saw her same level of commitment as the case went on. As others also mentioned she is really an attorney with a heart! She is extremely knowledgeable about all the topics too. We cannot thank Julie enough for everything that she has done for us. We highly recommend her.

I can not speak highly enough about Jennifer Fink and her law office. If you have come to the point that you must seek representation you are overwhelmed, emotional, and anxious. This is especially true when it comes to divorce and family matters. From the moment I called the office to the end of my case, I knew that I could not have been in more competent hands. I was able to take a deep breath for the fist time after my initial consultation with Jennifer. She has such a heart for what she does and you know she is absolutely invested in your outcome. Her professionalism and knowledge of family law is beyond compare. She gave me peace of mind and confidence when it came to my divorce proceedings. Jennifer works compassionately and diligently on behalf of her clients. Finding a lawyer you trust with the outcome of a divorce and child custody can be overwhelming, I was so fortunate to have hired Jennifer Fink.

Mr. Rountree is not just a great lawyer but also an incredible human being. As a nurse, I’m accustomed to dealing with high-stress situations in my profession, but this legal situation was entirely new and overwhelming for my family and me. From the moment we met Mr. Rountree, he guided us through this unfamiliar process with care and expertise. He is trustworthy, dependable, and made it possible for me to focus on my work while knowing my little brother’s case was in the best hands. Mr. Rountree is professional, communicative, and dedicated. Despite his busy schedule, he always took the time to respond to us and ensure we felt supported every step of the way. My little brother made a mistake, but Mr. Rountree helped the judge see that he is a good person who simply made a poor decision. Thanks to his efforts, the consequences were significantly reduced, and for that, we are forever grateful. What truly sets Mr. Rountree apart is his honesty and the way he genuinely cares about his clients and their families. He doesn’t treat you like just another case, he treats you with respect, compassion, and understanding. In our last conversation, I told him that there isn’t enough money in the world to pay for what he did for my little brother and my family. We truly see him as a human angel, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He is the best!

I highly recommend Knies, Helland & McPherson. Jenni (Helland) did an amazing job. My ex and her attorney were very antagonistic, liked to draw out the process, and did everything they could to drive up legal fees. Jenni was great in understanding what was happening and the likely outcomes or consequences. She avoided emotional arguments, and instead made sound legal ones. More importantly, she advised me when I was making an emotional decision and gave recommendations on what actions I could take that would be legally successful. Having someone in your corner that was willing to tell you what you needed to hear, instead of what you wanted to hear saved me thousands of dollars. This is not a law firm that will needlessly drive up costs. For example, I was never charged for attorneys fees for anyone Jenni may have consulted with (this is a frequent tactic of less reputable law firms). I was never given a weekly 'update' that created billing hours even if nothing was happening in the case. Jenni never had me make needless discovery requests, subpoenas or motions that are typical and drive up costs. I had a more experienced and higher hourly rate attorney than my ex, but my ex's legal fees were 30% higher because of all the shenanigans they played. Jenni will give you the legal experience you need without driving up costs.

KLM is the place to go hands down if you want to come out a WINNER!!!!! Review for Kelly McPherson & Stephanie Steiner❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a very challenging case, and after firing my previous lawyer who did nothing but take my money.A friend referred me to Kelly.I called & she got me in.She stepped in and completely turned things around as messed up as they were & as hysterical & crying as I was she immediately calmed me down & reassured me she would do her best to make things right.She had to go back and fix everything that the previous lawyer had supposedly done, and she did it with skill and dedication. She is an amazing attorney, and I would recommend her and Stephanie to anyone who needs someone who genuinely works for them—not for themselves. Kelly & Stephanie are hard-working, down-to-earth, and always straight to the point. No BS. From the very beginning, I could tell she had my best interests at heart. She’s not just about making empty promises—she delivers results. Her communication is excellent, and she always made me feel heard and valued. I never once felt like I was in the dark during the process, and she consistently reassured me with her level-headed, professional approach.Communication was great.Always returned emails in a timely matter & Stephanie was great about helping with paperwork & returning emails & anything that needed to be addressed.I was never left in the dark.These ladies were wonderful & I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In the courtroom, she’s a force—well-prepared and incredibly professional. Plus, her office is comfortable and welcoming, which made it easier to sit down and discuss difficult topics. If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who truly works for you, cares about your family, and won’t waste your time or money, I highly recommend Kelly McPherson and Stephanie Steiner.They’re exactly the kind of legal team you want in your corner. BEST LEGAL TEAM OUT THERE!!!

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You

A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.

Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.

When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?

Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:

  • Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
  • Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
  • Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
  • Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
  • Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
  • Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?

A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
  • Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
  • Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
  • Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
  • Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
  • Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
  • Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.

How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?

Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
  • Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.

Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.

How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
  • Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Total mediation costs: Can vary widely, from $2,000 to $10,000 for straightforward cases, up to $10,000 to $50,000 or more for complex disputes.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer

Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case.
  3. What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
    Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation.
  4. How long will the mediation process take?
    Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests.
  6. Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
    Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.

How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
  • Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
  • Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
