Juvenille Court case fall 2021

I highly recommend attorney Furman. He handled my daughter's case carefully and confidently. He spent nearly two hours with us in person after an initial phone consultation. He treated my 14 year old with respect and established a report with her that was truly remarkable. He helped her (and me) ...understand the process and what to expect. He answered all of our questions; at no point did I ever feel like he was in a rush to get to his next case. He kept us informed every step of the way. Attorney Furman was passionate about my daughter's case, and did an excellent job advocating for her. The result was a favorable ruling in the case. When all was said and done, I found the cost to be extremely reasonable. There were no overstated hours charged, no unnecessary expenses. I would gladly have paid 3 or 4 times the fee for the level of service Attorney Furman provided us.

Excellent Representation

After meeting with a few divorce lawyers I was left with a cold feeling. I felt they didn't care about my case unless i was paying them. I met with Sandy and he was very informative. He pointed out things in my first Separation Agreement draft that my ex wife's lawyer drew up didn't protect me. I hir...ed him on the spot. He went above and beyond to make sure the final separation agreement was fair and made the most stressful time of my life seem less stressful. Divorce is never easy but having a good lawyer on your side makes all the difference in the world. Im glad I had someone like Sandy representing me.

Divorce Representation

Sandy handled my divorce 5 years ago. He was thoughtful and thorough and struck the right balance between representing me as a lawyer while keeping my personal views in mind. His goal is not to end up in court, but find a resolution that is realistic and fair. If you want a lawyer who is compassiona...te, knowledgeable and personable, Sandy is a safe bet. I recently needed to contact Sandy for some follow-up work regarding the divorce decree. He not only remembered the legal details, but those of my personal life as well (my children, etc.).
