Hiring Miriam Zakarin was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Can’t find great enough words to describe this attorney. Here are just some of them: highly knowledgeable and skilled, smart, dedicated, works hard to achieve best results for her clients. Miriam always returned our calls in a timely and efficient manner and found time to meet and address any concerns. We are really grateful for the service she provided us and the results we accomplished together. Thank you Miriam!

Highly recommended!

Miriam is very sharp, knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate and caring. She is concerned about your needs and is attentive and responsive when you need an answer or reassurance. Although she is kind and considerate, don't try to take advantage as she can also turn into a bulldog and bulldoze her way through nonsense and careless tactics. I highly recommend her.

Miriam is an amazing attorney who helped me through a difficult divorce. She was compassionate, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable about the law. I would recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation.

Great lawyer

When I lost my job, I needed to adjust my child support. I had no idea where to start, so I started looking for a lawyer. Miriam was a total godsend. She was very understanding of my situation and even followed up after the case to check in.

Posted by Albrecht | April 7, 2023

Excellent lawyer

I was going through a difficult divorce, and needed a lawyer who was attentive and compassionate. Fortunately, I found that lawyer in Miriam. From the very beginning, she showed a great level of attention to detail and asked all the right questions to makes sure she had everything needed for the divorce to work in my favor.

Great representation

I wasn’t entirely sure how custody would work when I moved and I’m so thankful that I had Miriam to guide me through the renegotiation.

I am so grateful for the compassion and attentive care I have received from Miriam during my divorce. She went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of during one of the most difficult times of my life. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for everything that she’s done.

Amazing lawyer

Miriam’s guidance was instrumental in helping me get custody of my kids. Whenever a particular document was needed during the case, she knew exactly where it was. She is extremely competent, and I would recommend her services to anyone going through a divorce.

Excellent service

My boyfriend and I made a rash decision to get married while we were on vacation. We realized that we weren’t as ready for marriage as we had thought, but we were unable to get a divorce due to our religion. While looking up what could be done, we came across Miriam. When we went to her about filing for an annulment, she didn’t show any judgment or belittle us. She was very understanding and worked quickly to get everything settled.

When I had an amazing opportunity with my job that required me to move to another city, Miriam was a godsend. She helped me rework the visitation agreement with my son’s father and get all the necessary paperwork together.

Game Changer

At the start of the divorce situation I really thought things were going to be far more difficult. After finally hiring Miriam things came through in a way that really made a difference for the divorce and my children. Thanks so much!

Posted by Alison | February 4, 2023

Amazing

I am so very happy with the help Miriam gave me for the cast. She really did a wonderful job taking charge of the custody situation and getting it back on track to take care of my family. She's amazing.

Miriam is a blessing

Miriam is a blessing. She really provided me with updates throughout the case and made sure things moved along instead of getting stalled on minor details. I am really happy I hired her for my divorce case.

Posted by Lonnie Hughes | January 18, 2023

Miriam has been outstanding

This wonderful lawyer was describing the many tactics that come with varying degrees of associated costs and benefits. The actual process of getting a divorce took much longer than it should have due to issues of this nature, but Miriam was able to fulfill all of my requests.
