Smart, down-to-earth, supportive and knowledgeable

I interviewed several lawyers before deciding on Dror. He came across as being a real professional with extensive litigation experience, and at the same time seemed very down-to-earth and easy to work with. After working with him for almost three years, I can say for certain that Dror is all these th...ings and more. My divorce was extremely contentious. In spite of the volatile nature of the litigation, Dror remained grounded and calm, was able to clearly articulate what was happening at all times, and was extremely supportive during an extremely emotional time. While I did not want to go to trial, I was fully confident in Dror's trial litigation abilities and was not afraid to go to trial if necessary. I believe my confidence in Dror's trial abilities put me in a more powerful position when it came time to negotiate the settlement and, with the help of Dror and his team (please see my review for Naomi Schanfield) I was able to ask for - and receive - exactly what I needed in a settlement. Dror also has a great sense of humor, which I believe if you're going through a horribly contentious divorce like I did, is a must! I would not hesitate to hire Dror and his team again and give him my highest recommendation.

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.
