Remarkable attorney and upstanding human being

Dear Jeff, I will be eternally grateful for all that you have done for my children and me during my divorce. You are undoubtedly the best divorce attorney for so many reasons… In addition to always providing intelligent and thoughtful legal advice, you have also given me invaluable advice on how ...to cope with the emotional aspects of divorce. You were always strategic; knew exactly when and how to go to battle, and also how to keep things calm. I am proud to have had such a sharp legal mind, caring soul and class act in my corner. Additionally, you have such a deep understanding of best co-parenting practices and your continued focus on doing what is best for the children has been invaluable. I know that I am a better co-parent as a result of your sensible advice. While many might wonder why someone would choose to be a divorce attorney, I think that you are doing exactly what you are meant to do in this world – help people. You help people get out of bad marriages and in those difficult times, you were “life support”. And today, you’ve helped me create a life that I have been dreaming of for such a long time. You have made sure I have the best “post-divorce” support team (accountants, financial planners, the list goes on and on…) and as a result, the children and I have financial security, a new house that is becoming a home, and most importantly, a life that is finally peaceful. To all out there: Yes, the 5-star reviews are the real deal, and yes, the legal fees are high, but you are getting your money's worth and much more with Jeff. Hiring him was the best decision I have made during my divorce process.

If you have a complexity case, Jeff is the one I will highly recommended.

I had an attorney working on my case for a year before Jeff takes over. When I first time met Jeff, my case was in a devastating situation, because there were many potential problems, that were not address correctly, in the agreement and I was chased by the ex-husband attorney for unreasonable fees. ...Jeff spend extra time to review the supporting evidence in details and quickly put an action plan together. Within a month he had the ex-husband attorney to agree waiving whatever the fees before. His negotiation skill is beyond excellence. Meanwhile he was helping and educating me how this divorce negotiation works. Working with he, he took off a lot the stress from my shoulder, I started to be able put myself together, so I could think clearly what kind life I want in the future. He defiantly knows the court system, paper works, your rights and what the law says very well. He helps me to think what I can give up to exchange for things that are more important to me. I am very thankful to settle the case without a trail. I was able to retained most of what I wanted out of the divorce and came to a reasonable asset division, parenting agreement and child custody. Jeff is compassionate, honest, well-experienced and highly skilled. If you have a complexity case, Jeff is the one I will highly recommended.

I highly recommend Jeff

I first found Jeff online in a delicate and somewhat frantic moment after receiving divorce papers. I had searched many local lawyers. From the first phone call he made me feel most comfortable and gave me immediate advise on how to start protecting myself. We then set up an appointment for the fo...llowing day. Most other lawyers were not interested in giving out advise on the phone and rather wanted me to pay for the consultation first. I found Jeff to be firm but compassionate , Honest and calming, highly educated and professional. Direct but very personal. He had always found the time to give me his attention when needed. We put together a couple of different game plans depending on which way things went with my the opposing party. We were able to settle outside of the court system in an 4 way agreement meeting. I retained most of what I wanted out of the divorce and came to a fair parenting agreement and shared custody. I can not stress enough how much Jeff had helped me on a personal level keeping myself together and getting through the divorce as well as keeping the legal side of things tight. I Highly recommended Jeff Soilson.

Awesome person he's the best

I've been in divorce process for 3 years, I met so many good attorneys, But Jeff certainly is the best I've ever met. it seemed like his experience and knowledge was unlimited, he's laid back and super godd to work with.

Posted by Jessica Gouveia | June 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent divorce attorney

I was blindsided by me ex who wanted a fast divorce. Jeff took the time to explain everything and make me feel at ease. Without his guidance I don't think I could have gotten through that tough time. I highly recommend Jeff to everyone facing this challenging time in their lives!
