Her representation was consistently ineffective and communication was a significant issue.

I had a consultation with Ms. Ariel, which was scheduled a month in advance. When booking the…read moreappointment, I provided a detailed description of my situation and even attached relevant documents via email. She simply responded by asking me to schedule the consultation, which I did. However, when we met, she openly admitted that she had not read any of the documents beforehand and she will fast scan while listening what I say. Within just a few minutes, she dismissed my request to reopen my case without asking me more questions. I felt deceived--if she was going to reject my case so quickly, why ask me to book a full consultation in the first place? Just to take money? Charging $250 for a one-hour consultation while coming unprepared and making a decision within minutes feels unfair and unprofessional. If my case was something she could easily decline like that, she should have been upfront instead of having me pay for a meeting because I said exactly what I wrote in the email so the reason she asked me to make consultation sounded like she wanted easy money. The interaction felt cold and transactional rather than professional and respectful. If you're looking for an attorney who takes the time to understand your case and comes to meeting with respect, I would recommend finding someone else.

I contacted Schwartz Kalina for legal advice regarding my divorce. Divorce is a scary prospect, but…read moreI left my consultation feeling confident from the counsel Kristen Kalina provided, including advice that may end up saving me thousands in my divorce settlement. Peter Schwartz represented me in court for my temporary support hearing; as the primary income provider for most of our marriage, I was scared for the potential outcome. Peter worked closely with me to prepare for the hearing and did everything he could to attempt to settle and avoid the costs and risks of going to court. In court, he performed like a champion. As he fought for my interests he was prepared, professional, focused, concise, polished, direct; he was everything you could hope for in terms of representation. While I still have a ways to go with my divorce, I can confidently recommend Schwartz Kalina based on my experience with the firm thus far.

I cannot begin to thank Bruce enough for representing our family in our legal affairs over the…read morepast few years. Without his legal experience, compassion for others, and relentless pursuit of justice, I don't know if we would be enjoying the peace we are now. During my son's custody case, he helped him navigate from what was at one time a very painful process to a very happy and rewarding outcome. In a subsequent case, he not only demonstrated his superior strategic capability as a fine defense attorney, he always kept the big picture of my son's long-term future in mind so that everyone was mindful of what was truly at stake. We were pleasantly surprised because during hard times, we didnt have a ton of money but we found Bruce to be the most reasonably priced attorney you will find and yet probably the one most willing to go the extra mile. It is as if he takes each case personally as if you were a member of his own family. Yet he is able to remain objective enough to get you the outcome you desire and deserve. The humility and patience he showed to desperate and overwhelmed clients as he deftly guided us gently and/or fought like a warrior on our behalf toward that prize of real tangible success is now humbling to me. I can honestly and without hesitation say that Bruce is a trustworthy, dependable and reliable attorney who knows exactly what to do for his clients. His consistently calm demeanor is his gift from God. (Who wouldn't want an attorney that had God at their side?) I now understand that it is this gift that gives him that ability to focus in on his clients and their cases like a laser to ensure they have the most favorable outcome they can possibly have. For this and so many other reasons, I can't begin to innumerate; I will forever be in his debt. Bruce is our family's personal hero!
