Absolutely Recommend!

Like many combat veterans, I faced an uphill battle when it came to legal struggles involving divorce and visitation/custody of my child, despite the fact that my injuries never directly impacted my ability or desire to be the best father I could be. Disheartened and overwhelmed by the process, I spe...nt years seeing my only child for a mere 2hours a week, all the while paying my share of child support, daycare costs, etc. This all changed when I was finally connected with Attorney Eisenberg, who validated the injustice(s) I had endured, who encouraged me throughout, and ultimately won me- amongst other things- joint legal custody. This not only changed my life for the better, but also solidified my bond with my daughter, who throughout the years was all too aware of, and disappointed by, how limited our time together was. My only regret is that I wasn't able to hire Attorney Eisenberg earlier on in the process, but I'm forever grateful for her representation.

Excellent Representation!

While going thru the painful and emotional process of a divorce, I was fortunate enough to find Attorney Eisenberg! She and her staff were professional and caring while guiding me through the divorce process. I was very impressed with the communication that took place between her office and I. Every ...decision made was extremely important and I felt at ease knowing Attorney Eisenberg had my best interest in mind. She was confident, direct, and clear while advising me to make appropriate decisions. Molly is another attorney in her group who I cannot say enough about! She was very involved with every detail and knew the answers to every question I had, (which were many) ! Both attorney's complimented each other and made me feel very comfortable. Their Paralegal, Holly, Was also very helpful. She emailed and phoned, as needed to insure documents were gathered and presented timely and accurately. I had consulted with several other attorney's prior, and I am very thankful that I had chosen Attorney Eisenberg to represent me. Her fees were fair and in line with the services provided. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position to retain a divorce attorney, You would make a very wise decision to consider Attorney Eisenberg!
