"Trust but validate"

I was referred to Rita Polonsky by a childhood mentor who was also a family attorney for over 50 years in NJ. I trusted her to represent me in court as the plaintiff until she testified against me in my court trial, which resulted in me losing the trial. As a disabled military veteran and medic who s...erved during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, I can honestly say, "I would never recommend her as an attorney". The military taught me to always "trust but validate" in any situation, but that trust was violated during my court hearing. It almost resulted in me losing my home as a result of the court's decision.

This is a mischaracterization of what occurred. Former client decided to change attorneys at the 11th hour. As a result, a new issue arose and the Court decided to try the matter to finally resolve it. At the conclusion of the trial, the Court issued its decision. Former client was not pleased with the Court's ruling and has sought to air his displeasure by lashing out at me.

highly recommend!

I was very happy with the professionalism and care that Rita Polonsky invested in my case. She took the time to explain how things work in the court system and took in consideration all of my concerns. She answered all of my questions and helped walk me through a very tough time in my life. I will an...d have recommended others to use her services.

"Rita is a colleague of mine and has also been an "adversary" in several divorce matters with me. I put that in "quotes" because she has the unique ability to figure out how to resolve matters amicably and without animosity, yet zealously representing her client's interest. This is an easy endorsement!"
