I do not recommend using Pardalis & Nohavicka. P&N took too long to analyze my case. During this…read moretime there was a chain of emails sent back and forth. I paid them on 5/20/25 10,000 dollars. By 6/5/25 their team of lawyers failed to give me a proper analysis of my case. I asked for a refund. I had to pay over 5000.00 just for P&N to tell me that they still had not a full analysis of my case. The lawyer I spoke to was not even a real estate lawyer. I had to find another lawyer to take my case. This was an absolute waste of time, energy and money.

Any unjust offense can take a toll on your family, however, I couldn't be more grateful for their expertise and dedication to help resolve this matter.

What really stood out, is how much Russ genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for my family. I truly believe that without their help, skill, and commitment, the outcome may have been very different. Highly recommended and trusted!

Reviews are not a reliable way to determine if an attorney is good or not…read more Rely on referral from family and friends. The reviews on here are not a good reflection of my experience with Julie Rendelman. I am a Persian Gulf/ Iraq Freedom Veteran and was framed when my sons mother made a false race based 911 call against me. Unfortunately I did not record her with my cell phone to prove that. Moreover, I was relying solely on my attorney to give my case the attention it deserved. This incident happened on March 11th. It is now August. COVID did more work than her. She did absolutely nothing besides ask me if I would accept my charges dropped down to a violation. And dump her load onto a lesser experienced junior attorney. I made it clear in the beginning that I would not accept any plea. I explained to her over and over about being empathetic to my circumstances of having my son kidnapped from me using the corrupt broken system. They seemed so dull, close minded or blinded by the court room politics. Institutionalized by the court room that they forgot what it's like to be a human being. And what really happens when people are going through a custody battle. Take your head out of the law books and put your eyes and ears to the streets and pay attention to what really goes on. My experience seems very similar to the other bad review on here. She seem to be better at accepting deals with the DA. Conflict of interest rather than doing what's best for the client. I question the integrity of the reviews on here. They seem exaggerated, fabricated and a misrepresentation of this firm. I certainly did not have a five star experience and would like to inform others of that so you are not fooled by it like I was. She did not do any work in the court room as all of my dates kept getting adjourned. I still haven't received my detailed invoice, so I will be taking further action including filing a grievance. I think it's very important that the public stay informed on this. Enough is enough. #BLM

In the middle of the day a tragic miscarriage of justice occurred to someone I know, we turned to Tara for counsel to help that person. In half a day things transformed from a seemingly dire situation, with confusing information passed to us from law enforcement, to a complete resolution, with clear and accurate information about the process from Tara. I have worked with attorneys from GT, Latham Watkins, DLA Piper, and more big name firms but rarely experienced this kind of expertise in the matters I've needed counsel on.
