Scott Levin guided my spouse and I through a genuinely difficult and drawn-out divorce mediation…read more There were many moments where resolution didn't seem to be viable, yet Scott stayed patient and steady through every delay and setback. His experience and knowledge of family law is invaluable. He truly is a peacekeeper! One of the things that stood out most was his ability to read the room and adjust his approach as needed. Early on, he kept things low-key and gave both sides space to stay comfortable continuing in the process. His creativity when working on dividing assets and liabilities made an incredibly stressful situation less so. As we got closer to the finish line, he was very proactive in helping us reach an agreement. That kind of judgment, knowing when to hang back and when to step in, is a valuable skill in mediation. If you're dealing with a complicated or emotionally charged divorce, I can't recommend Scott highly enough. He got us to a fair resolution when it genuinely felt uncertain at times, and he did it with professionalism and skill throughout.

Ugh a divorce! But, Scott made it way less ugly and…read moreactually listened to me. He made this God awful situation less stressful without triggering anything! His calm demeanor and presence made me feel safe. I listened to what he had to say to me and I believed and trusted him. He held my future finances in his hands.

May you and your family prosper and thrive all the days of your lives!

Based on good internet reviews, I wanted to hire Samin to help me with my divorce, but she wasn't…read moretaking new clients. So I worked with her colleague, Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided great service and information in a timely, professional manner. At some point, she announced she was leaving the practice, for reasons I don't know. So I was transferred to Samin. Samin and I met over zoom a few times. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Then we decided that mediation wasn't working and I needed to take my husband to divorce trial. So I hired her to represent me instead of on a consultation basis. That's when things started going wrong. Over the next few months, it became harder to get in touch with her. Email responses would take 3-4 business days. Her paralegal was helping me put together forms to file (FL-150) but edits back and forth would take days to come back for my review, wheras I made sure I always returned my part within 1 business day to them. It took 2 1/2 months for her firm to complete the form and file it!!! All the while I was losing out on having the form filed for the purpose of retro spousal support. More than once when they returned the forms for my review there were errors, some glaring, which required more time on my part, more emails back and forth and -yup- more time billed to me. So one day I called the office to express my anger and frustration at the process and asked for a call back so we could talk live instead of email. I never got a call back!! Four business days later I got a stern email. Never was there an explanation or apology for why I couldn't get them to speed up or attend to my case. At one point, Samin told me it was my fault for changing my mind (for 24 hours) and telling her that I thought I might try mediation again instead of court, but then told her never mind and to proceed. Divorce is messy-it is normal to have doubts and 2nd thoughts. Instead of telling me that it's MY fault that the process is taking so long, maybe guide me through the pros and cons of each option and have a little sympathy. Plus, that mixed message only accounted for 2 business days. Not the 2 1/2 months that it took to get that form finished. After feeling ignored, underserved, overwhelmed and uncared for, I finally pulled the trigger and let Samin go. I hired Honorable Legal Services-DeAnn Salcido, who has been phenomenal. Attentive at every step, incredibly informative, educational. She gives me notes, articles with highlights an annotations for me to read. She explains my options clearly. She responds in 1-2 days every time. We've done multiple zoom calls. And her office has a marvelous online system that organizes my files, forms, correspondence and upcoming dates in a way that is clear to both of us. AND she costs LESS than Samin! If I had had DeAnn from the start instead of Elizabeth and Samin, this process would have gone a LOT smoother and faster.

Laura helped tremendously via divorce coaching. My spouse and I employed a mediation attorney in…read moreour own county, and each had our own attorney in our own county review the actual agreement once drafted. However, a few times along the way, I had questions and Laura was responsive and very clear in helping me understand things. Laura explains things better/more clearly than the other people I worked with. For example, she explained "reservation of jurisdiction" with more context and more thorougly than the mediation attorney and my own attorney, along with its limitations and scenarious where it has really made a difference, but did not subvert what the parties intended. I've also found valuable the general webinars where I'd heard Laura speak prior to engaging her help. Laura also helped with how to frame alternatives I was presenting. She was very sensitive to the emotional tone that we wanted to maintain (our goal was having a divorce that honored our marriage and where we had no regrets about the manner/process of the divorce itself), and suggested phrases that captured things in the warm and constructive tone that was my goal.

I cannot recommend Josh and his team highly enough…read more In 2022, I was searching for a divorce attorney and consulted with several attorneys before I was referred to Josh. During our very first conversation, he asked me a question that no one else had asked: "Did something happen?" That simple question changed the course of my life. At the time, I was trying to figure out how to safely leave my marriage and protect my children. While other attorneys focused primarily on the divorce itself, Josh immediately recognized that my safety and my children's safety needed to be addressed first. He was the one who suggested pursuing a restraining order and explained my options. Looking back, that conversation completely changed the direction of my case. Unfortunately, I could not afford to hire him right away and ended up hiring two less expensive attorneys. There were also periods where I found myself trying to navigate the legal system on my own. Throughout that time, Josh continued to show genuine concern for my case. More than once, he told me he wished he had my case because he believed he could help. About a year later, I was finally able to hire Josh right before my restraining order trial. Because he had already been following my case, he stepped in fully prepared and immediately took a tremendous amount of stress off my shoulders. Josh and his team handled the legal paperwork, court filings, and procedural requirements that had previously felt overwhelming, allowing me to focus on my children and my case. Josh successfully helped me obtain a three-year restraining order, permanent full custody of my children, supervised visitation orders, restoration of my maiden name, settlement agreements, and assistance with spousal support matters. He consistently worked to move my case forward despite delays and lack of cooperation from my ex-husband. I also appreciated the support of the entire firm. During one hearing, Josh brought a colleague who took the time to explain what was happening and help calm my nerves. Every interaction I have had with his staff has been positive. They are always kind, responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. What impressed me most was not only Josh's legal skill but his compassion. As a single mother facing financial hardship, he significantly reduced what I owed and allowed me to make affordable monthly payments. He has always treated me with patience, respect, and understanding. Josh didn't just handle my legal case--he helped restore stability during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am incredibly grateful for everything he and his team have done for my family, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled attorney who genuinely cares about his clients.

Vicki Rothman was recommended to me by a friend of mine following the very difficult and emotional…read moreseparation from my husband of 19 years. With the added complexities of 1) assets my husband and I had accumulated over the years. 2) a shared home. 3) a mutual fund. 4) two small home business. 5) dividing 19 years of an accumulation of various misc possessions. AND... 6) the added factor that my husbands 20+ years of service in the military, (to which, as a spouse, I was entitled to 50%) I had absolutely no idea how to navigate my way thru a divorce and all these issues, as well as the complicated issue of a settlement on spousal support, (as my husband had been the main breadwinner thru out our marriage). I really cannot say enough about how helpful, detail oriented, organized and professionally assertive that Vicki was during the negotiations and settlement of my divorce. I found that she also was empathic and caring which was something that I needed very much during that time. Furthermore, Vicki was always prompt to call me back or email me whenever I needed to speak to her. She educated me thoroughly on all of my rights and I am very happy with the final settlements that my husband and I agreed upon in the end. I highly recommend Vicki Rothman as an outstanding attorney if you happen to be in the difficult process of going thru a divorce.

After a long journey, we were finally able to reach a resolution--and I truly credit her for that. She is a fierce advocate who genuinely fights for her clients. What stood out most is how much time she takes to understand the full picture--not just bits and pieces--so she can represent you the right way. She's extremely knowledgeable in the law and knows exactly how to argue her position with confidence and precision. If you want someone sharp, dedicated, and truly in your corner, she's the one you want on your side. Wouldn't be surprised if she ends up on the bench as a family court judge.
