Great lawyer

Ira is an amazing attorney who helped me through a difficult divorce. He was knowledgeable, professional, and always had my best interests in mind. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Posted by Alison | April 17, 2023

Great lawyer

This is the best attorney I've encountered. I didn't think I would need one, but with the divorce kind of taking an ugly turn, Ira helped us straighten out.

Posted by Valerie | April 11, 2023

Great lawyer

We had a contentious custody battle. I tried to work with a different attorney, but they did not communicate as effectively or completely as the Ira has. Everything has gotten better since working with him. I am so grateful for that.

Posted by anonymous | April 9, 2023

Great representation

There are a plethora of attorneys in this area. I just found one who communicates completely about everything we're dealing with. Having that on the side of my divorce situation has me very happy with the outcome. I was afraid with everything my ex was doing it would jeopardize the consistency and stability my children have otherwise enjoyed. Thankfully with the bright person fighting on our behalf, things are coming together.

Great lawyer

When I divorced my wife I was scared that I wouldn't have custody of our children. I told Ira about it and after a lengthy trial he was able to secure them into my care! I'm so thankful for the work he's done for my family.

Posted by anonymous | April 5, 2023

Great lawyer

Ira was so considerate throughout the whole process of my divorce. He helped me work through how much alimony was owed to me and secured it for me when the issue was brought to court. If it weren't for him, I probably would have to move back in with my parents while I look for another job.

Posted by anonymous | March 20, 2023

Excellent service.

Ira is a fantastic attorney. Worth every penny! I'm glad I hired him. He is very professional and an expert in his field.

Posted by Kasey | March 15, 2023

Wonderful service

Ira did a great job taking charge of the situation with my divorce. His actions protected my children despite a difficult situation that faced us before we left.

Posted by Brian | March 10, 2023

Good lawyer

We discovered my last attorney was not communicating with me about the issues being brought up in the divorce. This led me to find someone who would not avoid talking to me about what was going on, which is what brought me to Ira. His communication and help with this mess has really improved things in our divorce case and proved there are good lawyers who actually care.

Fabolous service

I have full confidence in Ira and everything he suggests in regard to my case. He's brought in the chaos that seemed to be spirally out of control with my other attorney. Now, I can look forward to resolution and opportunity that I didn't think was possible previously. His team is amazing.

Posted by anonymous | March 1, 2023

superb service

Ira communicated with me from the first moment we agreed to work together on my case. That made a difference in how much I trusted him with. He turned a difficult case around and we were able to settle things fairly quickly after he began working with the case.

Posted by anonymous | February 21, 2023

Superb service.

I had the impression that he was a member of my family who also happened to be a lawyer. This type of service is really difficult to come by in today's world. In the courtroom, he is also a formidable opponent who must be dealt with. I'm so relieved that he was on my team!

Posted by Rafael | February 19, 2023

Superb service

Due to the fact that we were unable to come to any kind of agreement over the circumstances of the divorce, I believe that my ex-partner was subconsciously attempting to get back together with me. My former partner further exacerbated the scenario involving child custody, and I give thanks to the Lord Almighty that He provided me with Ira as my legal counsel during that extremely trying period of life.

Fantastic

Ira, who is a fantastic attorney, came to my attention as a result of a recommendation. My extremely contentious and drawn-out divorce was a source of significant stress for not only myself but also for my children. Thank you so much for getting us past that.

Posted by Josefina Perez | February 5, 2023

Ira has always been there for me

When I needed Ira's assistance in getting sole custody of my granddaughter, he was there for me and did everything he could to make it happen. The quality of Ira that most impressed me was his readiness and capacity to collaborate with me on various projects.

Posted by Darlene | February 2, 2023

Thanks for your help

I am embarrassed to admit that my daughter and the guy she had a kid with are not upstanding citizens, let alone capable parents, and Ira has demonstrated quite clearly that this is the case. I really appreciate your help.

Posted by Laurel Myers | January 19, 2023

Honest and compassionate

Being able to have an attorney that made me feel comfortable and well taken care of was, to be frank, unexpected. Ira, however, did just that and took care of everything I needed with minimal help from me. It was great.

Posted by Jana | January 18, 2023

Top Lawyer

I hired Mr. Ira to represent me and my child through a very rocky divorce. Once violence came into the picture I knew immediately I had to act and keep my daughter as far away from these situations as possible. Ira was very confident in our case and worked very hard for us. He was a top notch lawyer and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
