Rhonda Joan Panken

Rhonda is an amazing lawyer. Very very thorough and super prepared. My case was very complicated dating back several years but she mastered every detail of the case. She presented a well thought out case, the cross decimated the plaintiffs unfounded allegations and her summation clinched the case.... My profound thanks to Rhonda.

Rhonda prepared my same-sex prenuptial agreement, and handled my divorce six years later. Her thoroughness in the former greatly facilitated the outcome of the latter, which was complicated by marked behavioral and emotional volatility on the part of my ex, which Rhonda handled with the even-handedne...ss and equanimity of an experienced and skilled professional, who also comports herself with the highest ethical standards. Rhonda anticipated problems and kept the process on track with empathy, sensitivity, energy, patience, preparedness, assertiveness, and fairness. Rhonda was always available to answer my questions and provide reassurances. I am indeed fortunate to have found someone of her talents in shepherding me through both pre-nup and divorce. Rhonda has my highest confidence, and I recommend her without reservation.

My situation was legally complicated, and emotionally charged, with the custody of our infant daughter at stake and state jurisdictions of thousands of miles apart involved. It was very difficult to know the right questions to ask, or to be able to evaluate a lawyer for the first time with so much on... the line. I reached out to friends of friends, and another lawyer recommended Rhonda for having the perfect skills and personality to get a handle on a case as complicated as mine. And when I say it was complicated, the decision in my favor appeared in New York Law Journal. It is hard when life gets suddenly complicated, but it is good when there is someone you can find who can guide you out of it. I will also say that Rhonda is masterfully concise and accurate, lucid in describing events in a way that the truth shines through even when emotions are running amuck.
