Only reimbursed us 40% for doing next to nothing

He sat on our case for a year, treated us horribly, then we had our new lawyer fire him, & she spent most of our retainer trying to get all the files from him, which he's required to do by law

Grateful for such a wonderful lawyer!

Sandy has been amazing. We started working together on my case in Feb thinking we would be done in a month or 2, but due to Covid things have been delayed and delayed by the courts. In that extra time he has done a great job advocating for myself and my kids and always working in their best interests.... He has shown he genuinely cares about the outcome for my family and that means a great deal. We do not feel like just another client to him. Covid has also made the financial situation difficult but he has been understanding and we are able to make consistent payments because of that. If you need a lawyer who will actually care and work hard for you I highly recommend you talk with Sandy. He won't let you down.

Experienced family law attorney

Mr. Durst is an experienced attorney who knows the ins and outs of family law. He gave thoughtful consideration to every aspect of my case and when it came time to appear in court he brought just the right edge with a dash of NJ tough. In my particular case, he was able to obtain for me partial cou...nsel fees from the opposing side. I highly recommend Mr. Durst.

Outrageous Billing

I had a similar experience as another reviewer. Mr. Durst took months to send me a bill and when I finally received it he had trumped up outrageous charges. This attorney does not appear to have any staff and charges attorney rates for things such as copying and printing out documents. I was unable t...o resolve this issue with this attorney.

I would be happy to discuss your concerns with you. However, given that you chose to post anonymously I am unable to do so. It is not our practice to charge for copies although it is common for firms to charge per page. If you worked with us at any time during 2017 you almost surely met with, spoke with, or emailed with my staff member.
