As a fellow attorney, I've had the need to refer clients to a family law attorney many times over…read morethe years.

While an event requiring an attorney is stressful enough, add to that the grueling task of picking…read morean attorney that actually cares more about their client than their bill rate is next to near impossible. Unfortunately, life is what it is, and I found myself in a dangerous situation with a neighbor whom I had to obtain an emergency order of protection against. I met with attorney after attorney to discuss my case and all but one seemed more focused on telling me/bragging how great they were, who they knew, and how my case was so simple and would be settled quickly. Thankfully, I knew better than to believe any of what I was being told and more importantly, discovered Michael Strauss. While he too believed my case was not exactly complicated, he recognized that the situation could change in a heartbeat and instead of making me promises he would never be able to keep just to sign me on as a client, he discussed best and worst case scenarios from the start so I could adjust my expectations. And as he predicted, my case grew more complicated and eventually put my own personal safety in jeopardy. Instead of focusing on billing me for every minute that he was working my case, he paused all of this to ensure I was safe. He took on aspects that an attorney would normally not and if they did, they would charge substantially more. Not only did Mr. Strauss not charge me anything extra, when there was a time that I had nothing left in me physically, mentally, and emotionally and decided to not pursue the legal matter any further, Mr. Strauss indicated that while that was my decision, he would not stop fighting on my behalf! What attorney continues to work a case even if the client has nothing left in them to fight???? When I could not fight anymore, Mr. Strauss stepped in and fought for me. I have never met an attorney or know of one that was so passionate about their clients and really made them the priority not the retainer or additional potential billing. He was a Godsend. He is the very type of attorney I believe the job was initially created for - someone who gets into law not for the fame nor money but to actually help those who have nowhere else to turn. I cannot recommend Michael Strauss enough. He was not only my attorney, but he also in a truly unforeseen way became my guardian angel. Because of him, his dedication, and ethics, I am now safe, and it did not financially drain me. While this world does not need more attorneys, they need attorneys like Michael Strauss.

You and Gary gave my child the life he truly deserves, bless both of you. Even though it's now been…read more15 years, words cannot express my gratitude. The child's mother to this day is caught up in endless court cases in another state with multiple parents, and never once did you hound me for money even when I owed it. I know you are selective about who you take on as clients, but you may have saved my child's life. Your work showed the courts the truth and protected him from drunk stepparents, and a neglectful mother. Know you have made a difference in someone's lives in ways you will never understand.

For one, Mr. Kelly took care of my father's will/estate papers with the utmost care and attention. He made it a priority to finish quickly as my father unfortunately did not have much time. Mr. Kelly also helped me with a very difficult divorce. With his extreme professionalism, expert knowledge and understanding the emotional toll it took on me, he patiently guided me thru and worked everything out perfectly. I find James Kelly to be now not only a friend, but even a family member, and definitely my lifelong attorney.

We were firing a gazillion questions via email and calls daily! Ian took the time to truly listen to our concerns, explain the options clearly, explain the law and build a strategy that was tailored to mom's situation. Throughout the entire process, Ian was consistently responsive, transparent, and patient with any and all questions. What impressed me most was his balance of strength and empathy. In the courtroom, Ian was sharp, prepared, and unwavering -- a true advocate who fought for moms' best interests. Outside the courtroom, he showed genuine care for all of us as a people, not just clients. Expressing empathy and true kindness when we needed it the most. That combination of legal skill and human compassion is rare . I highly recommend Ian to anyone facing a divorce or family law matter. He is not only an outstanding attorney but also a trusted ally. Ian was an incredible source and shoulder for my mom and for my sister and I, always armed with information and strategies. His readiness, clarity, and steady communication gave us all peace of mind in an extremely stressful and tumultuous situation. When Ian was unavailable his assistant Jan, made sure to get all messages and information to Ian immediately! We couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help our mom through such a difficult time. After 3 attorneys in this ordeal, I only wish we had found him first!!! Thank you Ian!!!
