I had a consultation back in February with Erica Copenhagen…read more She was very professional and informative. I was under the impression that there was no charge for the consultation. It wasn't until over two months later I was billed $566.67 for the consultation because I did not go with their firm. The only thing they made clear was that if I did not show up or cancel within a certain amount of time that they do charge. But they certainly did not make it clear that if you don't use the firm that they charge you for your consultation. To be clear, I would never agree to a consultation to pay $566.67 to a business that I did not know whether I would choose to do business with them or not. Erica returned my phone call today May 18, 2026. I explained the situation to her and through the course of our short conversation she consistently cut me off and talked over me. I had to ask her to please let me finish my sentence. At that point, I was informed that she was busy and had a client she had to get to but all the same she continued to over talk me on the matter. BE AWARE THEY CHARGE YOU FOR A CONSULTATION WHEN YOU DON'T USE THEIR FIRM!!!!!! And now I see backpedaling and miss information from Erica's response to me. You are not telling the truth. There's no way in hell you ever told me that there was a $566.67 charge three times. I would not have a greed to a consultation especially at that price. I don't know how many ways to phrase it to you, Erica, but it was not made clear to me that if I did not use your services, I would be charged. It's that simple. I don't expect people to work for free! By the same token, I just came in for a consultation to see if what you had to offer, was compatible to what I was looking for in a law firm.

RUN! I wish there was something lower than one star to give. I live on the East Coast, and in…read moreSeptember 2024 I needed an estate attorney to assist my Uncle in his creation (and not long after) the implementation of his Trust. Erika did not provide the necessary and proper guidance. This resulted in going through a lengthy court process which I was trying to avoid by hiring her. When I asked her specifically why I was not informed I needed to take a particular step, she said "I did inform you." Which is a blatant lie!!!! Had Erika informed me I would have taken that step - why wouldn't I? I did everything she asked. She said do this - and I did it. She said pay this - and I paid it. I was hanging onto every word, advice, and counsel - I would have jumped off a cliff had she asked me (facetiously of course). The point is - I trusted her. I was following every instruction. At the final signing I asked if there was anything left to do? She said "no." I have never been through a Trust process before and communicated my naivety numerous times. I relied on Erika's guidance but am woefully disappointed. I have never written an online negative critique before. However, I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes of keeping someone else from poor advice. My Uncle's estate was small and uncomplicated. This should never have happened. The sad truth is, had Erika just owned up to the mistake, while disappointed, I would have understood (mistakes happen), and I would have stayed with her. But to lie about it and put the blame on me is beyond wrong. Not the adult or professional thing to do. Word of advice - Erika Copenhaver presents well, however she's a wolf in sheep's clothing. She doesn't truly care as she espouses. RUN!

Don't fall for this one, she fails to follow the guidelines of the courts.

She is one of the worst people, enjoys stringing the clients out ,not following the guidelines of the courts, and fails to file the & or supply the necessary documents to the opposite party.

Julie Levy is very competent and will speak up and fight for you. When I first met her, she gave me…read morea key piece of advice that I feel saved me from a bad outcome due to the efforts, or lack thereof, of my previous counsel. She is able to come to terms with complex cases quickly and was able to represent me in court despite less than 24 hour notice of the hearing and do so competently. She has given me solid advice, speaks straight to you, takes what you have to say and retains that into the court documents when appropriate and fights for you. I have been very happy with how she has represented me. If you're able to retain her, I would strongly advise it.

If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. The outcomes of family court are never guaranteed,…read morebut with Julie Levy and her team, you have an amazing group of people in your corner fighting for the best outcome for you and your children. If she is unavailable, her secretary and paralegals are on it getting you the answers you need. She will do her best to advocate for the safety of her clients especially if your case requires a protective or restraining order. Because of this, people on opposing sides do not like her and try to defame her. However, that is one of the best things about Julie. She will fight for YOU, her client, no matter what. You are one of her priorities and she will work to do what is best for you and your situation. She is respectful and will tell you the truth about your case and guide you to help get the best possible outcome in very difficult circumstances. I cannot recommend her enough if you need an attorney for a divorce especially a case where children are involved.

If you are in need of a wonderful Family Law Attorney, Carol Gorenberg is your answer!…read more We retained Carol to help us with our guardianship case. We were extremely happy with the level of service we received and continue to receive from her.

Her support staff, paralegal Diana and legal secretary Aunna are also amazing. There seems to be a real synergy in the office, and regardless of whom you speak to they all have a grasp of what is currently going on with your case. I highly recommend Carol for any of your family law needs you may have.

I called and left a message with a secretary. Didn't hear back for a week. I called back spoke to the secretary who I explained to that I was calling on behalf of my sister and let her know English was my sister's second language so I would be assisting her if needed along the way but let her know my sister's English was just fine. She said she'd forward the message to Jenna. She called back less than 30 minutes later telling me Jenna wouldn't take my sister's case and that she should hire a Spanish speaking lawyer. I explained once again that my sister spoke and understood English just fine but the secretary said that she wouldn't take the case. I was appalled and sickened to my stomach. This lawyer has never spoken to my sister to make the determination that she would be better off hiring a Spanish speaking lawyer. They should disclose on their website that if English isn't your first language, regardless of how well you speak and understand it, they will deny you service. Discrimination at its finest.
