This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.

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.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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.

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 st...ability 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
