Gratefully Divorced

Michelle Levin of Family Focused Legal Solutions was highly recommended to me by a long-time family friend that had worked with Michelle in his own recent divorce process. As a full-time working mother already in full physical custody of a one-year-old, I truly needed someone who was going to make a... very difficult process as easy as possible. Family Focus Legal Solutions was an answered prayer from my very first inquiry call with Reception through the timely follow up emails I’ve received in wrapping up my Child Support payment schedule post-divorce. During my initial consultation with Michelle it became clear that she was the right lawyer for me and I never once regretted my decision to retain. Michelle listened to my story and circumstances, made sure to understand the points that were most important to me, helped formulate goals, and then presented plans (and back-up plans) to achieve these goals. Michelle worked diligently to draft a fair yet assertive agreement, and effectively coached me on how to approach my ex with my requests. I couldn’t be any happier with the results of the divorce, especially with sensitive issues surrounding custody of my son, as well as the rights to frozen embryos resulting from IVF during the marriage. From a financial standpoint, my son and I will have what we need moving forward, and the entire process took less than six months. I’m grateful for Michelle and Family Focused Legal Solutions for their expertise, guidance, hard-work, and sincere compassion. Such a blessing to be led and supported by a legal team that conquered a seemingly impossible situation. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!

Divorce, Custody, Alimony and Child Support

MIchelle worked with me from the beginning to the end of my very difficult divorce process. She advocated for both myself and my children tirelessly during the process with a very uncooperative ex-spouse. Michelle advised me on the right steps to take in one of the most difficult times in my life w...hile also encouraging me and supporting me. By working with Michelle, my children and I were granted the support we need and deserve. I would recommend Michelle to anyone beginning the divorce process, especially if you have children. Michelle stood up to my ex-spouse in ways I never could and I am forever grateful.

Great Attorney

I do not have enough good things to say about Melissa and Michelle from the Ruvolo Law Group. They were professional, diligent, and most importantly cared about my well-being. Meeting with them was one of the most difficult things that I have ever done in my life and after a few minutes of speaking... with them it was evident that a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Aside from my daughter, the only other thing I do not regret from my marriage is hiring Melissa and Michelle. Their service was outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you both again for EVERYTHING that you have done for me!

Review

The Ruvolo Law Group was highly recommended to me by a trusted friend who had retained them for the complex termination of his marriage. After my initial consult I knew my trusted friend did not let me down once again. The entire law group was always responsive and sensitive to my needs, requests ...and family situation. There was never a time where I felt unreasonable requests by the firm were made and Melissa and Michelle were able to expedite my divorce through the Morris County Court system. In the end, I was able to maintain the respect and dignity of a parent and former spouse which was very important to me. I felt it was important to post this review for all of those who are in my situation and are looking for a trusted law group. I can not thank them enough for all of their hard work and commitment to my case.
