PLEASE read this.

I came to Evey broken and defeated after already spending $15K with another attorney. I had watched on the sideline as she fought tenaciously and WON the custody and child support battles that my girlfriend took a equity loan out just to fight back . So I switched to Evey & started over! It took her ...all of 10 minutes to discern who I was & why I insisted to fight for my boys against the odds. My ex effectively threatened to remove our children from the country if I didn't adhere to her wishes. I was distraught. Evey refused to let my light extinguish. She attacked my case, immediately filing with the court. She established a respected and productive report with opposing counsel. It was Evey and her alone in court that won me back my boys. Not just giving me equal parenting time-and keeping them in the US, She made it possible for me to be the dad I was in their eyes before the divorce. Thanks Evey!!!! Thanks for "Seeing me" And thanks to my GF for supporting me and encouraging me to call her.

A Grateful Parent

can’t say enough about Evey, she is empathetic, but is honest. She is kind, but practical. She is supportive, but encourages strength in her clients. Mine, is a very complicated case. It started 9 years ago. At the time I had another wonderful attorney but he is now retired. It was so very stressful ...when, after a custody trial, I not only had to endure another court proceeding, but a new attorney. I have to say I not only had Evey representing me but two of the other partners also had input in my case. This is an amazing firm. This being a custody case it is crucial you make the right decisions in who represents you. My daughter is only just over ten. I feel that the actions we needed to take, were addressed, with careful thought, and the outcome was successful for my daughter. I highly recommend Evey, and her firm, as you will truly feel they are all in this with you.

Evey LISTENS!

I am beyond impressed with Evey. My particular case was very emotional for me. I’ve had experience with lawyers in the past who don’t go out of their way to collect anything from their client but factual evidence, however Evey lent an ear. She showed empathy and took into consideration everything I f...elt was important to mention, even if it could not be proved with evidence. She really took the time to get a feel for the reality of my situation rather than considering only what would hold weight in the court room. In the medical field, this approach would be referred to as “bedside manner”. It is crucial having someone like this by your side in difficult situations such as mine which was a custody battle. Let’s just say I will be baking her cookies :) Thank you Evey, and to everyone on your team, for CARING.

Had my back through child custody litigation

Attorney Diaz was very caring throughout my child custody litigation. I was already divorced at this point, but wanted to change the school where my son attended and where we lived. I always felt like she heard me and had my best interest in hand every step of the way. She had a legal team in the off...ice to consult with as needed which was very helpful as well. In the end we were able to work out our case outside of the court and got the stamp of approval from the judge. I am very pleased that as parents, we got to make the decisions for our son even through we had to use lawyers to do so. I am very thankful for Evey's guidance and plan using her again if needed in the future.

Diligent, Compassionate

Approximately 18 months ago, I found myself in a custody battle with my ex-husband. I had never been in a situation like this and did not know what to expect or where to turn to. I was referred to the law office of Grimaldi & Pesiridis, I immediately contacted them, I was called back and met with a...ttorney Evey Diaz in lightning fashion. Upon meeting Attorney Diaz, she listened and promised to fight for me all the way, which she certainly did. Right from my first meeting with Attorney Diaz, it was almost therapeutic to me, she constantly made all the dull moments of my court case a lot brighter. I was extremely impressed with Attorney Diaz’s ability to get right up to speed on all the facts of my custody case. She had immense patience with me and my case, making an extremely difficult time easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciated. She truly improved my life, never making me feel like a paying client, she always made me feel like a friend. After what seemed like forever, my children and I have come out on the other side of what seemed like an eternal process of restoring our life as a family. The whole journey started over 4 years ago, and I truly believe if it was not for Attorney Diaz it would have turned out differently for all of us. I am completely satisfied with all aspects of the journey. I was surprised by the complexity of the legal system and Attorney Diaz’s progress in dealing with it. I would highly recommend her and the firm of Grimaldi & Pesiridis who finds themselves in a predicament like mine, utilize her expertise in dealing with any legal matters. She certainly taught me a lot and without her compassion and expert advice, I might not have gotten custody of my children back. Attorney Diaz treated me with great dignity, when the judicial system was making me feel like a piece of garbage. She put up with all my frustrations and always answered any and all my questions through out the whole process. Most importantly she made me feel like we mattered. That type of service and respect is sorely lacking today. Attorney Diaz is a first-class attorney as well as a first-class person. She has my undying respect and gratitude. I feel because of her, my children and I have a new lease on life.
