Carolyn is a wonderful attorney and a supportive, understanding human being. I am truly grateful…read morethat I had the opportunity to work with her. I spoke with several attorneys before making my decision, and from our very first phone call I could tell she was different. She did not rush the conversation or treat it like just another case, she listened carefully, understood the details of my situation, and provided thoughtful, practical advice right away. That first call lasted more than half an hour, and after it, I knew I wanted her to represent me. My divorce case was long and challenging, and Carolyn was exceptional throughout the entire process. She handled many responsibilities beyond what was expected and always remained solution-focused. At times, the mediator and the opposing attorney were difficult to work with, and there were even moments when it felt like she was doing more than her share just to keep the process moving forward. She was always accessible, I could reach her quickly whenever needed, we spent hours discussing important details, and she consistently responded to my emails in minutes. I was going through an extremely difficult time financially and emotionally, and Carolyn was incredibly supportive. Even during periods when I struggled to make payments, she continued to work hard and never pressured me. In fact, there were times when she first asked whether I was financially okay before even mentioning her fees. That says a lot about her character, she is not money-centered; she genuinely cares about her clients as people. There were moments when I shared my sadness and emotional struggles, and she was supportive like a friend and, at times, almost like a therapist. She guided me with honesty and professionalism, sometimes telling me things that were difficult to hear, but that honesty is exactly what makes her such an exceptional attorney. She does not sugarcoat reality; she is direct, logical, and always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. In the end, we were able to reach an agreement, and my divorce is now finalized. I truly owe this result in large part to Carolyn's dedication, intelligence, and steady guidance. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs not only a highly skilled and successful attorney, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate human being.

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.

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.

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.

A consummate professional who is articulate with the keyboard and in the courtroom, Jane is a gem of a human being when it comes to navigating difficult circumstances that require legal support. Jane is a great listener, who continually asks insightful questions, has a knack for getting to the facts and developing sound judgments often based on information that is incomplete or sometimes contradictory. A master tactician, Jane knows how to steer proceedings and negotiations effectively and she is highly creative when crafting closing arguments that are persuasive and compelling. Jane Rodgers has taught me a great deal about the nature of professionalism, about how to stick with a client and offer genuine and meaningful support and how to always keep sight of the end goal while enduring the inevitable bumps along the way. If you are looking for a legal practitioner who is empathetic, insightful, knowledgeable, honest and deeply committed to her work, look no further than Jane Rodgers. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.
