He immediately helped me work through the application which was very extensive, including filing for the missing years that caused the loss of non profit status. And he was very patient with me as I constantly got onto other things and was slow in giving him the information he needed to make the application. I am a big, big, BIG fan of his and his team!

Francie helped me navigate a complex family situation that had many layers of concern. With…read morestrategic thinking, she wrestled with 20 years of history. She worked tirelessly for a sensible, fair and unique solution, that avoided a costly and harmful invasion of privacy in court for a family member with whom I needed to have a legally-binding agreement. I could not be happier with the outcome. If you want an attorney who really listens and cares about family relationships with challenging dynamics, keeps you informed at every turn, and can provide emotional as well as legal support, you cannot do better than Francie! There are truly some remarkable attorneys out there who work from their hearts as well as their minds. Francie is one of them!

Oooh yea I'm the first review!…read more Seriously I wanted to share how great a service I have been receiving from Ms. Novar. We still have a ways to go but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm a father in another state with a daughter in Ypsi. Ms. Novar really has been working hard so I can see my daughter first Skype than visits. I can only speak on my experience but if you have been getting shafted by foc recommendations and you know you deserve more. Start putting some cash aside and hire Ms. Novar. It's worth the money, and honestly she is less expensive than alot of the other lawyers I called around to. Plus she seemed more receptive to me. She will school you on what you need to do vs what you have been doing. She is very patient (I'm sure I pushed her buttons being demanding ) and will guide you if you are willing to listen. I feel like if you're reading this it's because you need a family lawyer so let me be the first to say I would hire Ms. Novar again and again.

Naomi Woloshin was a pleasure to work with. She handled an uncontested but financially complex…read moredivorce for me. During the consultation I described the type of legal support I wanted, and this is exactly what she delivered. She guided me through the process and was always available when I had questions. The case was completed on time and without complication. She set a very reasonable retainer for the case, and then completed the work with $$ to spare! The support staff in her office is also very helpful. I enthusiastically recommend Naomi Woloshin.

Be warned. This office is incredibly unprofessional, inept and rude. They represented my ex (and…read moreeven he regrets hiring them!). My attorney repeatedly remarked that their handling was absolutely unacceptable and disappointing. A short list of issues (from a very long list!) includes continuously responding late to my lawyer, lying on the paperwork that they drafted so my lawyer would have to spend more time (and more of my money) to get them to correct items like my birthdate, income, etc. They dragged things out so much, which I assume is a tactic used to milk their clients for additional hours. Our divorce took almost a year longer than it should have! At one point I had to go their office to retrieve paperwork that they were legally required to submit by a timeline- when I arrived they only printed a fraction of what we were supposed to. Again and again this is how they mismanaged our case. And now, a year after the divorce has been final and they still haven't submitted the paperwork properly to the courts for the dispersion of the pensions (QRDO's). After leaving multiple messages, I finally received a call back from the office who then preceded to connect me to him for a meeting over the phone... he got on the line and literally screamed at me and hung up! So incredibly rude. It is because of his offices mistakes that they continue to cause these issues. I didn't request a phone call meeting with him- all I want to know is where is our QDRO in process!? 2 of the 3 QDRO's are completed and filed in the courts. The 3rd one is just floating in their dysfunctional and disgraceful office. The entire system of divorce attorneys is a complete and utter sham, taking advantage of people who are already struggling thru one of the most difficult periods of their life. This office is inept at representing their own clients, and lacks any sense of decorum. Please save yourself the time, energy and money and find another lawyer that may still rob you, but maybe at least they'll treat you and your soon to be ex-spouse with bit of respect or common decency. Regardless of us filing for divorce- we were married for 30 years and have 3 children together. The least a respectable attorney could do is treat all parties respectfully. Absolutely disgraceful.

Everything was agreed upon between my ex and I and the divorce was handled without difficulty. So imagine my surprise when I closed on my home May 6, 2005 and found that he had put a lien on my home for what he claimed were unpaid attorney fees. The amount I "supposedly" owed was $938.08 along with $391.58, for a total of $1329.61 taken from the proceeds of selling my home. After returning home from the closing and he refused to speak with me. He refused to provide me with an itemized statement OR proof of service with my signature. I can only assume he sent any/all correspondence to one or two of the other addresses prior to purchasing my home. I would have gladly apologized to him for my fallability. After he refused to speak with me I told him that I'd take him to court. His response was to go right ahead, adding that he would sue me for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit and have me jailed. I am in the process of filing a grievance with the State of Michigan Licensing Board in Lansing. He doesn't deserve one star.
