I had another attorney prior to Miriam. I was extremely frustrated with my case dragging on and going no where, and had felt that I was being over-billed without a reasonable explanation. My divorce was already finalized after two long years (ridiculous since this was a long-term marriage with adult ...children). There were a few post-divorce issues such as 401K split and long-term spousal support (which I was challenging).
Ultimately, I came to the realization that I had hired a charlatan and it was time to fire him!
My case was assigned to Miriam and I was immediately impressed with her sharp tact and professionalism. Soon after Miriam became my attorney, There was no question in my mind that I would retain her as my attorney.
Miriam was always on top of her game, and always gave my case top priority. Miriam explained to me later that it was important to her to make all her clients feel important and as if they were her only client. When the opposing side would play their delay tactics to prolong the high support I was currently paying, Miriam’s aggressive deliberation would kick-in, maintaining a high level of professionalism at all times. Miriam was never intimidated with the other attorney, even though he was well-established in the business.
I should mention too that Miriam was always responsive to my emails or available to meet in person. She was always very fair in resolving any billing issues as well.
In the end, my case (post-divorce!) was headed to trial, and Miriam kept the pressure on the opposing side. Ultimately through Miriam's tactful negotiation techniques, I was able to attain a buy-out and avoid the costs of a trial. It was a win-win as far as I am concerned.
I have no doubts that if my case had gone to trial, we would have won :)
I would absolutely recommend Miriam to anyone wanting a caring, compassionate and attentive attorney. Don't take a chance on hiring a charlatan :)
