Handled my circus of a divorce & custody case

I fired Emanuel to represent me in a circus of a divorce and custody case. The case spanned two counties as my estranged spouse had just disappeared and attempted to file for spousal support after being out of mine and the kids' lives for years. Emanuel was able to consolidate all of the case matte...rs to one county and have them heard under one judge for a legal decision on all of the various aspects including the spousal support, child custody, and division of assets. We were able to first locate my estranged spouse and Emanuel was very tactful in his approach and able to get my former spouse served. There were multiple sessions for this case as the estranged spouse was not meeting the bare minimum court requirements or putting any sort of effort forward toward a resolution. Emanuel dealt with frequent last-minute rescheduling of court dates which spawned from constant requests from my former spouse. In the end she lost it a bit and cursed out the entire court and all involved, but Emanuel was able to brush it off and and use the outbursts to our advantage. After multiple warning mail and email messages from the court my former spouse still chose to keep showing up late or postpone the proceedings and finally ended up defaulting on the case. I was able to retain my full custody of both children and all of the marital assets. He was able to strategically play the long chess game and let my estranged spouse move herself into her own checkmate status. During the proceedings this was all obviously new to me so he was able to answer my endless stream of questions as well as explain any legal jargon which I didn't understand with ease. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much from myself and both of my children!

Very satisfied

I retained Mr. Mouganis while going through a rather unpleasant custody dispute with my ex husband. It was a stressful and scary time for me, but I found solace in Emanuel. He was able to not only bring my situation to a satisfactory resolution, but he was able to calm my fears and keep me sane along... the way. Emanuel is warm and reassuring, he is quick to respond to calls and emails, never leaving me to wonder about my case, and above all else he is incredibly knowledgeable and amazing at what he does. Emanuel Mouganis is exactly who you want in your corner and I can’t thank him enough.

Thorough & Knowledgeable

Emanuel and his team are strong, client-oriented advocates who take the time to listen to your story and explain the options. They were non-judgmental and Emanuel took the time to get to know me. As things happened, everything was explained to me and put into context. They kept me informed of strateg...y and were able to obtain excellent results. I strongly recommend.

Client focused excellence

Mr. Mouganis represented me in court through a contested divorce. With many years of experience, he comprehensively explained what we could & could not pursue & why. He provided expert advice regarding both financial aspects, as well as child custody. There were aspects within my case that I did n...ot want to concede to my ex-wife. Emanuel explained the favorable points we had achieved, & that by not accepting the terms put forth by the judge, we would risk loosing all that we had achieved thus far. Divorce is rarely easy, & lawyers like Emanuel will truthfully tell you that you aren't going to get everything you want. But then again neither is your ex-spouse. I highly recommend Emanuel. He is knowledgeable, & will explain everything understandably. As such you will always know where you stand, what your options are, & how to ensure the best outcomes for your situation.
