I just wrapped up my divorce and received everything that I had asked for all because my lawyer,…read moreTammy Begun, fought for my case as if it were her own divorce. She can be very aggressive when it comes to defending against accusations and other lies. Our case was put together in a manner that there was no way that we would have lost because her timelines were sharp, she paid attention to details that were overlooked such as dates, times, and even emails that may have seemed irrelevant. I went from having just 50% legal custody and no physical custody of 2 girls to receiving 50/50 legal and physical along with a favorable custody schedule that worked for everyone. She really does care and she listens to everything that you have to say, which I really appreciated someone taking the time to do and to retain all of the information given. If you are dealing with a tough spouse who is being unreasonable and difficult, Tammy is your lawyer. Everyone that helped me out through this time told me that I chose well and that she is the only lawyer that they would ever use if they had to divorce and now I see why. Very happy with the outcome of my divorce, it could have been a lot worse.

I spent way more time and effort to select my divorce lawyer than I ever did to choose my (now ex)…read morehusband. I did extensive online research. I read tons of testimonials. I even listened to divorce podcasts and took notes. On paper, Geraldine Hess stood out among the other divorce lawyers I considered because she is Fellow of the Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), and her practice is 100% focused on family law. In practice, Geraldine Hess ended up being an advocate I could TRUST to help me navigate through one of the worst times in my life. I liked working with Geraldine because she was always tactful and professional, but at the same time, she never sugar coated anything or tip toed around difficult things that needed to be said or done. I loved that she was so straightforward and honest, while also being fair and kind. I also really appreciated how tough Geraldine was, both mentally and emotionally. I don't mean that she was a junk yard bull dog with a spiked collar and a loud bark. I mean that nothing surprised her or shocked her or threw her off her game. If my husband had set himself on fire while on the witness stand, Geraldine would probably have to stifle a yawn. Beyond that, Geraldine was organized, reliable, and responsive, as were her assistants. She ran a tight ship, and I knew that she would never let anything fall through the cracks. During my divorce, I ended up needing a criminal lawyer and then a contract lawyer. Geraldine referred me to two excellent attorneys who were both trustworthy and excellent in their fields. Geraldine Hess has my highest recommendation. I hope never to get divorced again, but if I did, I would call Geraldine right away.

Geraldine Hess is highly responsive and thorough in consideration of the financial and personal…read moreneeds of myself and my children. After interviewing several attorneys, I chose Geraldine for her expert negotiating skills and "even hand". What Geraldine provided to me exceeded my expectations. She was careful to explain all of the implications in making decisions throughout my settlement negotiations. She raised concerns that I would not have otherwise considered, and am thankful for that awareness, as it has protected me in my financial future, and my relationship with my children. She was keenly aware of how to specifically negotiate with the other party, and was tough when necessary. She was always mindful of what was in the best interest of my children. The rates for Hess Family Law were very reasonable. I was apprised of what the possible expenses could be when facing different choices on course of action. I highly recommend Hess Family Law.

He's intelligent, hard-working, available when I need him, no-nonsense, and completely capable. I feel fortunate to have found him, as I wouldn't have been able to get through the process without him. His rates are reasonable, and he was a strong negotiator with the landlord. He's thoughtful and hardworking but always made me feel like I was talking to a brilliant friend. We were on the same page, and I valued his advice at every turn. Highly recommend!!! Hopefully, you don't need an attorney to deal with your landlord, but if you do, use Matt Hertz.

I had previously had consultations with other firms that were too expensive or too dismissive to work with.

She was so excellent to work with and was always on top of the due dates and was very responsive to my emails. The whole filing process with this firm was as straightforward as my friend had described!

We initially met via Zoom and he was very knowledgeable, kind, and straightforward when reviewing our options. We moved forward with the K1 visa and then Adjustment of Status (green card) processes with Jim. He was thorough, meticulous, compassionate, and communicative throughout 2.5yrs it took from applying for the K1 visa to receiving my husband's green card. I am in social media groups with people going through the same process from the same country, and my experience was much smoother than most, even with providing less evidence than what was stressed as necessary in the groups. Jim eased our anxieties with his reassurance and we felt confident that he had our best interest at heart due to the support he provided along the way. His services proved to be invaluable for my husband and I and we will continue to use his services in the future should a need arise. We are more than grateful to have found Jim and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for immigration support!

I absolutely made the right decision when I hired Attorney Brandon Bernstein to handle my divorce…read morecase, which was extraordinarily complex. Attorney Bernstein and his team worked very hard to get me what I deserved. He was very diligent with his work throughout the case. He always showed up prepared for all my court appointments and always kept me up to date with what was going on with my case. My case went to trial and it took nearly three years to finalize my divorce and child custody battle. Had he not fought very hard for me, putting in many long hours and paying attention to every detail, and adopting smart strategies and advising me along the way, I would not have been able to get sole legal custody of all my children. Moreover, Attorney Bernstein always checked in with me on a regular basis to just make sure that my children and I were doing okay. He was very personable, compassionate and always answered my calls when I needed to get a hold of him. I feel extremely fortunate to have had him and his team behind me all the way.
