grateful to have found this firm

I'm deeply grateful for the compassionate and dedicated work of my son's lawyer. She not only guided us through this challenging case, but won it, bringing peace of mind to our family. Her professionalism and care made it all the difference, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

When things got difficult with my marriage, Aileen stepped in and started navigating me through the divorce process. I interviewed many attorneys, but Aileen was the only one that was able to give me step by step detail of what I would be experiencing. Also, her price was fair. I hired her immedia...tely. Aileen worked quickly and efficiently. I told her I wanted to file for divorce and the next day he got served. Aileen walked me through everything and kept me in the loop the entire time. Marlene, her Parallegal, was also very well informed and I turned to her for advice many times. I felt like I was not alone in the process. In the end, my husband and I decided not to get a divorce. Aileen was fair about the retainer and wished me all the best. I will definitely hire her anytime in the future I need such stellar, excellent representation, with out hesitation. Thank you Aileen and Marlene, for all your hard work and unparalleled services.

Professional Smart and dedicated to her craft

Aileen Perez-Gjikova is a lawyer who puts her clients at ease with her tact and smarts. She’s a professional with compassion for her clients. I was a nervous wreck when my divorce began. After everything was settled I couldn’t be happier with the results. I would recommend Aileen who needs help wi...th their divorce. She gets results with her savvy and her experience. I am one happy person with my settlement.

Chapter 7 and family court

Aileen Perez has been my lawyer for over three years and has done an excellent job in not only fighting for me, but also protecting my interests! I highly recommend her for any family court needs you might have.

Excellent legal service.

Aileen will give you the best legal representation. She is straight and too the point and you will never be mislead. My court case was not easy for me emotionally but Aileen always gave me the reassurance that all would be ok as she always focused on the well being of my family and I.
