Her high-level ability to litigate essential details is genuinely extraordinary. I also find her knowledge of the teaching profession as a real asset in many regards.

I could not more highly recommend that you seek counsel with this outstanding attorney!

Sadly, a member of my family was served a restraining order, which was an over-reaction to a…read morepersonal disagreement. We were concerned that if a breach of this order occurred (even accidentally) it would result in a felony offense. With only 2 days notice, Attorney Anthony met with us for background on our situation, made himself available for court and systematically dismantled the complaint and made the plaintiff look ridiculous. Very professional, knowledgeable and made us feel prepared and well represented!

There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to Attorney Fred Anthony and his paralegal…read moreTerri for all their hard work and support during my very difficult and drawn out divorce battle. From our initial meeting to our final day in court, I never felt alone. Their caring, for me as a person as well as a client, was always evident and I knew they always had my best interests at heart. Fred instilled in me the trust that helped me have the courage to move forward and not give up, even when I was scared and things seemed impossible. Fred is passionate in what he does, he is kind but firm and tough when he needs to be. His legal expertise and attention to detail was quite impressive. I was in awe of his performance in court and thrilled when judgment was in my favor. I wouldn't be where I am today without him and I can not thank him enough. Attorney Anthony is the best and he has my highest recommendation.

After a great deal of investigation and review of mediators in the area, my husband and I chose to…read morework with Ellen to settle our divorce. We are so glad that we did! Ellen is an amazing person and an outstanding mediator. What impressed me most about Ellen was her ability to listen, sort through what was important to us and come up with a solution that worked for our whole family. Ellen always kept the interests of our children in the center of the conversation and advocated for them whenever necessary. She was honest, sincere and nonjudgemental, all qualities that helped us to reach an agreement that was fair and reasonable. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Ellen helped my husband and I stay focused on our values - being respectful, supporting our children in whatever they need and finding solutions that will accommodate all of us. I would recommend Ellen without hesitation to anyone who is considering a divorce.

While I don't wish divorce on anyone, if both parties choose that route and decide on mediation, I…read morehighly recommend that you consider hiring Attorney Ellen Plasil. Her commitment, concern for all parties and requisite skills are top notch and you couldn't possibly be in better hands. My ex-husband and I retained the mediation services of Ellen Plasil in August of 2014. Prior to choosing her as our mediator in the summer of 2014, I researched several other mediators in the area, and during our initial telephone conversation, I found Attorney Plasil's demeanor to be knowledgeable, professional, respectful and incredibly warm. The services she offered were all inclusive and her rates were on par with all of the other mediators that I researched. Further, I received several referrals for her services. In short, choosing Ellen Plasil as our mediator, was a no brainer. Attorney Plasil approached every meeting we had with her, with sensitivity and sincerity, and brought incredible awareness and insight to the unique legal issues we brought to the table. She immediately put us both at ease with her kind, warm, and funny personality. We even had several moments of levity during tense times (which I know is hard to believe, but it's true). Her knowledge of divorce law and her impeccable work ethic stood out at every session. Most important, was her need to be fair to both parties. She never took sides and was extremely fair when it came to working on finances and splitting assets and I know for a fact that my ex would echo my sentiments. Ms. Plasil took all of our distinctive issues into account when drafting our settlement agreement and even went so far as to include our dog into the agreement, which was a relief to both of us. She didn't miss a single detail. I simply cannot recommend Ellen Plasil highly enough! She is caring, kind, thoughtful, thorough, extremely knowledgeable and goes out of her way to be fair and sensitive to all parties involved. The fact is, she is an absolute pleasure to be around, can make a person laugh during trying times and is just one of the most amazing people I have ever met. We lucked out when we chose her as a mediator. She is simply the best. I can actually say that I miss having sessions with her (and that says a lot!).

I came into the office of James A. Cuddy with my elderly father and my few weeks old infant with…read morethe intention of hiring a family court attorney and at one point I mentioned that I personally felt a lot of different types of attorneys, especially divorce attorneys were ethically bankrupt. I was initially surprised and then shocked at how Mr Cuddy responded to that brief statement by raising his voice to a shout and yelling at us within the small confines of his office. It was a surreal and scary moment because in that moment, I could fell the misogynistic overtones of his wrath and while I couldn't prove it, I knew that there was absolutely no reason to respond the way he did and his behavior as a professional was grossly unacceptable. He has been attempting to delete my Review on Facebook but I am Alerting those here who May seek his professional guidance because I feel his behavior that day was highly questionable. He has a temper and will lash out unexpectedly and He will display it to those in vulnerable positions like young single Mothers of young infants.

Terrible experience w/ Atty Volman, Would not file Mandatory…read moreDisclosure and Production motion for divorce proceedings. Tried to discuss what he advises other clients about Paternity. His response was : Does she look like you.. I took that as an insult and didn't continue discussion. Atty Volman on his own went to the opposing counsel questioning wife's fidelity and that I wasn't the father of my daughter. Extent of his style - Opposing side sent their proposed settlement and I was told to look at it, mark up changes and he'd fax it over. No written objections nor typed out counter proposal. Lastly, after severe frustration, I had to change lawyers - Atty Volman now refuses to give me a copy of my entire file. In fact, he said that if I ever come to his office I will be ARRESTED. . I am confused, if I am charged for over $13k in legal fees shouldn't I be privy to my entire file..?

I could tell immediately that he was a compassionate and caring man. My ex husband and I hired him on the spot. We had gone to another law firm before and were not in the least bit pleased with them. It was a long 4 year process to finally settle the case. (Steve Howe came into the case about year or so into it) the communication was excellent. Emails and phone calls were always answered promptly. Every question we asked was answered clearly and with the knowledge we knew we could trust coming from these knowledgeable attorneys. They explained every step of the process. Their paralegal, Gina, was also helpful as well. I highly recommend this law firm.

I retained this attorney for a child custody matter and ultimately received no measurable results…read moreon my behalf despite the fees charged. Throughout the case, I felt the approach was not client-focused and, in my opinion, not male-friendly, particularly in how concerns and strategy were handled. What was most troubling to me was a perceived conflict of interest. I became aware of discussions about my case involving the opposing attorney friendship that were not clearly communicated to me beforehand, which significantly undermined my trust and confidence in the representation. After investing time, money, and emotional energy into this case, I was left without progress or meaningful advocacy. The attorney has since withdrawn from representation, bringing closure but not resolution. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm--especially those involved in custody matters-- to stay away because they will yes you to have you as a client then commence to sink you
