A…read moretrue Oracle, gentleman and human being, who will push aside his personal life to make sure your urgent family situation (missing children!) is addressed -- even on Christmas Day. My wife physically assaulted me while on a court-ordered a EPO and then abducted my children the week before Christmas for a month. Bob spent four hours during Christmas Day with me laying out everything I would need to know and he was later proved to be 100% accurate on every single word that came out of his mouth. Bob is truly a nice guy. I don't think he'll ever retire because he loves what he does and he provides such a strong value to the local families who urgently need his expertise navigating the challenging family court situation often for the first time. I tried to find an attorney several days before Christmas and the entire industry was out of service until the second week of January. I believe my wife took my children that week specifically to make it very challenging for me, but Bob stepped up and saved the day in a huge way. I could ramble on for hours about how Bob and Carolyn are consummate professionals, and how they changed my perspective on family lawyers. Bob and Carolyn secured 50% parental access for me within three weeks. The opposing firm told my wife to run away with our kids after removing them from the home and was using every tactic in the book, but Bob played hardball in the most professional way during the most important time in my entire life. He stepped up like an athlete during the Olympics and I forever will love Bob.

It took a while but thanks to Carolyn's persistence we were finally able to get the matter resolved. Without her efforts I would never have been joined to my ex-wife's pension because the divorce was 28 years ago and the original court's order was not carried out due to pre-digital record keeping snafus. I'm also very grateful to Bob for helping me navigate through a very challenging time in my marriage. He is extraordinarily responsive and knowledgeable and I recommend him and Carolyn to anyone contemplating a divorce or other family law matter.

She's also excellent on the spot, quick to adapt and make strong decisions in court. She is the most empathetic lawyer I've ever met - and is so safe to reveal anything to. Another outstanding trait is her integrity -- when she had a medical procedure, she made sure my child was protected by referring me to the best lawyer to stand in for her. Michelle is both ethical and effective, and she turned my case around 100%.

Which I understand, maybe it's not worth their time or they are too busy with other cases, or it might be too much cost for me. But the reason she give me was " well, it's only your personal perspective that leave a car in a repair shop for 8 months is too long, maybe someone else feel 8 months was ok, or maybe the shop feels 8 months is not enough time, and might need few more moths more ".

Despite the time pressure, she provided me with a clear, strategic courtroom script that helped me stay focused and preserve critical issues on the record. As someone who has been navigating this process pro se, going up against an extremely litigious opposing party and what feels like a very father-leaning courtroom dynamic, Norah has been the edge I needed. She is sharp, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable -- but what sets her apart is that she combines that precision with empathy. She doesn't minimize your situation or default to "well, this is what you signed up for." She meets the facts head-on and builds a plan. Norah is astute, composed, and tactically thoughtful. She understands both the legal framework and the human dynamics of family court. If you need someone who can move quickly, think clearly under pressure, and equip you with strategy rather than platitudes, she is that lawyer.
