  • I recommend Fran Brochstein.
  • I used Fran more than 3 years ago.
  • Fran handled my Family matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
I talked to my friends and family. I was totally confused. I called a bunch of lawyers. Most never called back. Ms. Fran called me back herself one evening, She listened to me. She had me come in and I paid her for a one time meeting. She offered me several options - cheap, moderate or expensive along with the pros and cons of each option. She talked to with with respect but like someone that knew what she what she was talking about. She let me bring my parents in. They liked her too. My auntold me that I should do something different so I did not hire Ms. Fran. My aunt's idea turned out to be a disaster and a waste of time. I called Ms. Fran. She was nice. I thought she might be mad because I did not hire her. She said to bring her all the papers and she sat down with me and fixed the problems. I ended up paying a lot more money than if I had just hired her instead of trying to save money. Ms. Fran had a good solution to my problem.

Client Review:
Friendly, very informative, and the ONLY attorney I could find, after many calls to other attorneys, that will answer even the most basic question.... everyone else wants money for their time or they won't talk to you. Fran was SUPER helpful

Client Review:
I have spoken with Fran during my search of attorneys. I must admit, she is the first ever attorney who not only was very cordial but also, had no BS/fluff to offer, which is a very rare quality in attorneys these days. She was not only honest but also offered help in providing general information about her peers and family law. I highly recommend her.

Lawyer's Comment: With so many people suffering financially, I am offering to meet with a person (or persons) for $1 per minute (cash). It is a consultation only. Most take 1-3 hours. I expect payment at the time of the meeting. To make an appointment, you should email me at fran@familylaw4u.com. These appointments book up quickly.

Client Review:
Fran handled a custody case for us and with her expertise and knowledge we won the case. I called her for advice on this case and even though it's been 7 years since the she represented us in this case she kindly spoke with me. She even told me to give her a call if she could be of any further help. I would recommend her to anyone who needs family law services.

Fran is awesome!

I have known Fran for 8-9 years. She handled my divorce wonderfully. I have recommended her to two other people and they loved her, too. On occasion, I have called her seeking advice. She is knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate. Anytime I need legal advice, I call Fran. Even if it is not her area of expertise, I know she will point me in the right direction. It's a pleasure to know her.

Lawyer's Comment: I try to return phone calls and emails within 24 hours of receipt. If you don't hear back from me, then please call or email again! Sometimes background noises make it impossible to hear the message and the phone number.

Thank You

  • I used Fran more than 3 years ago.
  • Fran handled my Adoption matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
The most humble, informative, warm hearted lawyer. She listened and conquered. I was so glad to have her work my cases for adoption and my divorce and she did it with monies that were put aside and then she sent me a great deal of it back. Even now when I need a bit of advice, she is there, all I have to do is call her. Sometimes, I feel like I am bothering her with my little ordeals but when we talk about them, it is never an issue. That is what I like about her so much. She never make you feel unimportant or small. It is not about her precious time. There is no bother to her busy world. She makes time for you-no matter what. This makes me have to keep her around. I tell everyone about "My Lawyer." She is a great help in times of need.

  • I recommend Fran Brochstein.
  • I used Fran more than 3 years ago.
  • Fran handled my General Practice matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
Fran has the unusual ability to listen carefully and compassionately, always with a positive approach which calms and instills hope and new energy in the client. She assists the client to identify reasonable possible solutions, and encourages us to be open, choose our important goals, make productive choices considering the needs of the parties involved, and carry out the situation or legal matter to a conclusion that is beneficial for everyone involved. Her loving nature, strong legal skills, and willingness to serve, make her an exemplary negotiator in difficult situations. My family (two grown sons) and myself always consult Fran Brochstein whenever we have any kind of legal questions or problems, and she takes care of all our legal matters. If I were ever in trouble I would feel comforted that I can call Fran.

Client Review:
I've worked with Fran several times throughout her law career. She begins each project giving me an overview of what is entailed in time and cost, making sure I understand what she anticipates if things go as planned and what to expect if there are complications. She makes sure her schedule is cleared, and never carries too large of a workload to cause any of her clients concern that they will not have all of the attention that they deserve. She takes detailed notes, asking multiple questions and has always been respectful of my needs and is highly responsive to my emotional state. I have always felt comfortable sharing private information with her and truly feel she wants to do the best job for all concerned.

Wonderful

Client Review:
Ms. Brochstein is well more than enough experienced in her profession. She has always answered / responded to any of my questions within a 24 hour time frame. Even sooner. She is an attorney who doesn't beat around the bush, and adivises a client as to what needs to be done for their situation. I have used Ms. Brochstein on many occassions and I have even referred family and freinds to her as well. I feel comfortable sending them her way, because I know that Ms. Brochstein will do everything she possibly can to help and/or resolve the issue at hand to the best of her abilities. Therefore, with this being said, Ms. Brochstein is well more than qualified, she is wonderful at what she does. I am more than satisfied with what she has done for me.
