Excellent Attorney!!!

LaDonna M. Cousins, Esq., Rozin Golinder Law, LLC, was my divorce attorney and I had the best legal representation. The divorce process is upsetting, confusing and difficult but LaDonna helped me to get through everything quickly and efficiently. Whenever I emailed her and asked questions, she or h...er assistant always got back to me in a very timely manner and always explained everything very clearly. Whenever my ex-wife or her attorney were being unreasonable, LaDonna quickly made things right. Whether it concerned parental visitation or financial matters, she always looked out for my best interests (and my children’s best interests). Through this very tumultuous time, it was very reassuring to know that LaDonna was working hard for me. She made sure that the outcome of my divorce was fair to me and my children so that we could move on with our lives. If you need a divorce attorney, I highly recommend LaDonna M. Cousins, Esq.

Very Satisfied

I hired LaDonna to represent me in a divorce right at the beginning of the Pandemic. She was very knowledgeable, detailed and direct. LaDonna was understanding and caring to my situation. I was very satisfied with my outcome. She stood by me every step of the way, and kept me informed and updated wit...h every event concerning my case. I highly recommend LaDonna , you won't be disappointed.

LaDonna Cousins is Excellent!

The dictionary describes the word "Superlative" as the highest kind, quality and order, surpassing all else or others, supreme. I would define it as LaDonna Cousins. As a family lawyer, she is of the highest kind, quality and order...supreme. LaDonna's knowledge in child custodial law and attentio...n to detail to my case put my worries at ease. I have had custody issues for the past 5+ years. LaDonna was able to prepare my case and present my case very professionally to the judge. LaDonna was able to have my child support terminated retroactive a few months and also have the defendant pay a very decent portion of my court fees! She was very clear in what I had to do and gave me deadlines of when I needed to have certain documents back to her. She was very attentive and responsive. She was always there when I had a question. LaDonna helped me come out on top. There is no glorious victory without an epic battle. LaDonna was the sole game changer in my case. I am extremely happy with LaDonna Cousins and I highly recommend her as a Family Lawyer.

Best lawyer I ever met

LaDonna is one the best lawyer I ever worked with - knowledgeable, compassionate, flexible at a reasonable cost. She listened to my situation/concerns/questions patiently and I felt comfortable with her on my first meeting itself. She made the most difficult situation in my life a bit easier, even wi...th COVID constraints, my divorce was finalized within 3-4 months. LaDonna and her team were always available to help/consult and offered comprehensive options/advise on child custody/support, alimony, financial settlements and dealt with my ex’s lazy lawyer. She even managed to convince judge to grant divorce without us appearing in the court. I’m so glad that I decided to hire her to represent me in this matter. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with divorce or family related legal issues.

Great Representation

LaDonna did an excellent job on advising me of my rights while assisting to negotiate my marital separation agreement. I wanted a quick divorce and thought it wise to just pass on child support, however, I was advised that my child had a right to the child support. I'm glad I took the time and list...ened for the benefit of my child. She took charge in follow up with the other attorney and filed everything quickly. Even with all the delays with Covid19, my divorce took less than a year to finalize. When I first met with LaDonna for a consultation, I had a good gut feeling about her. After our discussion, I hired her on the spot and I am glad I made that decision. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking about filing for a divorce.
