NO ONE BETTER

When I count my blessings, I count Bobby twice. March 1st, 2023 will be one year that I am divorced. I attribute my found “freedom” to Bobby Epstein. There is not one day that goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for him. My case was extremely complicated. More than most and he just handled it... with ease, grace, total composure and had such a way of managing the unexpected. He had a very calming affect and explained everything well in advance to help prevent anything unforeseeable. You can reach him at 5 am or midnight. He was always accessible and if he didn’t respond immediately, you knew he’d call or text as soon as he could. If I had an emergency (because sometimes in my case things “escalated”) and I needed to call him, he would pick up and rationalize the situation and helped get me “through”. The man is SUPER HUMAN! He was not my first attorney. I was introduced to him (by a close friend) one year after I was with another firm which I was not happy with. My former counsel wasted time, money and energy and after not moving my case forward after one year, i switched firms to Bobby’s firm and I couldn’t have been happier. My only wish was that i made the move sooner. He did more for me in the first 30 days than my old firm did in a year. I look at my Marital Settlement Agreement -The one that we fought 30 days shy of 2 years for and endless amount of money. You can say you can always want more but I look at that 60 page document and it’s a work of art. Bobby worked long and hard and thought about EVERYTHING and I know I couldn’t have picked any one better. He’s truly the best!!!

Robert Epstein is a fantastic divorce attorney

While I had never thought I would be a person getting a divorce, when I knew I had to move forward, I will be eternally grateful that I was referred to Robert (Bobby) Epstein. Bobby was not only compassionate to my situation, but extremely knowledgeable and self assured. As I prepared to make the mos...t difficult decision of my life, I was convinced that I had the right attorney. Sure enough, now that my divorce is behind me, I can look back and say that my legal representation was second to none. I felt confident throughout the entire process that I was receiving the best possible legal representation from an attorney who is tops in his field. I was also extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend Robert Epstein if you must make the difficult decision to file for divorce.

Top notch representation

Bobby Epstein is as good as it gets for Family Law. He was exceptional in all phases of his representation during my divorce. Beginning with the consultation and continuing now after the agreement has been finalized, Bobby was extremely professional, patient, kind and knowledgable. His understanding ...of the nuances of the laws as they pertained to my circumstances was right on point. He was extremely responsive both by email and phone call, and I was not the easiest client to deal with. I can give Bobby my highest personal recommendation to anyone contemplating divorce or going through any type of experience that requires a top notch Family Law Attorney.

THERE IS NO OTHER

I retained Robert Epstein to represent me in my post-divorce Motion & Consent Order. I only wish he represented me in my divorce. Robert was extremely professional, detail-orentiated, a skilled writer and negotiator. His legal knowledge was exceptional. His advise, guidance, expertise and determi...nation led to resolution. Robert addressed all my questions & concerns immediately. Robert was kind, caring and extremely compassionate to my situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone filing for divorce or any post-divorce issues. Why settle for anything less when you can have the BEST.
