It went extremely well. She was VERY responsive as was her paralegal. She told me that she had no control over whether my husband would respond or when he would respond. It was something that was out of her hands. It took a LONG time (almost 11 months) to enter into a document both my ex and I agreed upon but she stuck to it and did not charge me any additional fee for it.

I hired her to draft my separation agreement about 5 months ago. When I hired her, I told her it was very difficult for me to communicate with my husband and that I wanted to finish this in a speedy manner. She assured me she would draft the agreement as soon as she got detailed information from me, so I thought paying $2,500, paid upfront, would be worth it. However, she was never as timely as she promised. First of all, the separation agreement draft she sent me was basically a form agreement with very little modifications; she didn't take time to take my personal situations into account and write them into the draft. Second, she took as long as 3 weeks--and I'm still waiting--to respond to some simple questions I asked. The first time I complained about the delays, more than a month ago, her secretary said she would email me and explain. I never got that explanation nor apologies from her. The second time I complained, I asked for a refund. It took her several days to respond, and when she responded, she stalled by saying she would consider my request and email me back. It's almost a week, and I haven't received any response. When I first hired her, I explained my situation to her and let her understand how timing was important to me. She told he she would try her best. She did not carry out that promise. While I was waiting for her response, she even took a leave of several weeks without first notifying me of any possible delays. I was in quite stressful marital tensions and tried to contact her, but got NO response at all! The way she treated me was as if I'm the least important client. Once I paid the 2,500, it was as if I was moved to the bottom of her list. If she can't handle my case in a timely manner, she shouldn't have taken my case. After I asked for a refund, and when she herself knew she didn't have time to work on my case, she should've issue a refund immediately rather than making me wait. If you want a lawyer that listens well and tends to your personal needs, and communicate well and timely, she is NOT one.

Lilia Walewski’s review
November 8,, 2024
Once divorced, most individuals move on, but I was unfortunate to have an “ex” intent on causing trouble. No matter how stressful and costly, I needed an expert lawyer and legal team to protect my interests. With an “ex” like mine, it was imperative to immediately address his breach of contract and non-compliance with other matters. Once more, I contacted Irons & Irons for their outstanding legal services. Gib Irons recommended a new and exceptional member of their team, Robert Zaslow, an attorney with thirty years of family law experience.
Mr. Zaslow quickly learned about my case and took the first step. He informed my “ex” that he had signed a contract that he was not free to alter. Failure to comply with contractual obligations would lead to litigation. The easiest and least costly option was to comply (in my case, pay alimony on time and in total).
After my “ex” ignored Mr. Zaslow’s correspondence, we had to take the next step. Several Court filings persuaded my “ex” to pay what he owed me, but he refused to cover the legal fees I had incurred. Per our contract, if one party breaches an agreement, the other party can ask for legal fees. Another matter involved a No Contact clause in our Equitable Distribution Agreement, which prohibits my “ex” from contacting me and vice versa, a clause my “ex” had ignored.
We had no choice but to go to Court. When I arrived at the Courthouse, Mr. Zaslow took precautions to protect me. As we entered the courtroom, he informed the bailiff I had an NC No Contact provision and a Protective Order from another state.
While the judge and attorneys present discussed the day’s docket, my “ex” took advantage and approached me. His voice alerted Mr. Zaslow, who spun around and instructed my “ex” to walk away. The bailiff rushed over immediately and ordered my “ex” to step away, an order he had to repeat twice before my “ex” complied.
When the Judge was ready to hear our case, Mr. Zaslow delivered every critical point to recover legal fees and highlight my “ex’s” multiple violations of NC’s No Contact clause. He was masterful in clearly setting up the case and methodically offering evidence to corroborate his points. Mr. Zaslow knows how to deliver a compelling narrative that captures a judge’s attention and brilliantly grounds the argument presented in the law. The judge ruled in our favor.
Additionally, since I face continuing litigation in another state, Mr. Zaslow went the extra mile to secure copies of the hearing’s recording. He shared this valuable material with me, my lawyer in the state where I reside, and the State Attorney’s prosecutor handling a separate criminal complaint.
During these many hearings, I’ve relied on my lawyers, a highly skillful mediator, fair judges, court personnel, and police officers. Certainly, Irons & Irons is at the top of my list of invaluable professionals. Thank you, Gib Irons, Robert Zaslow, and the best paralegal in the world, Kaitlyn Gonzalez. Your superb support since early December 2021 (when I first called) has contributed to my new life, a happy one if it weren’t for my “ex’s” behavior. That, too, shall pass, and in the meantime, I am exceedingly grateful knowing you have my back.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Greenville, North Carolina?
Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:
-
Within the Same State:
Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -
Outside of Their Licensed State:
If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:- Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
- Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
-
International Representation:
For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.
How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer
Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:
-
Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose. -
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history. -
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records. -
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences. -
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community. -
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. -
Ask for References:
A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

Relevant Documents:
Bring all documents related to your case, such as:- Contracts or agreements
- Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
- Legal notices or court papers
- Financial records (if applicable)
- Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
-
Written Summary:
Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context. -
List of Questions:
Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience. -
Financial Information:
If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices. -
Contact Information:
Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information. -
Personal Identification:
Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes. -
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed. -
