Expert, Compassionate Counsel

We were so fortunate have Ms. Brenner's counsel on a very complex divorce and child custody case, involving multiple jurisdictions and special circumstances. Not only does Lois bring a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of family law and custody issues, her background as a medical practitio...ner also lends a deep understanding of the psychological and emotional dynamics in play. She offered a compassionate, intuitive voice of reason in dealing with our family situation, coupled with the ability to bring total strength and solidity to the table to work through contentious issues with opposing counsel. For any family facing the stressful transition of divorce, I would wholeheartedly recommend Lois. In the arena that is divorce law, which can often feel very mercenary, opportunistic and mean spirited--Lois is a real gift.

Able to Breathe

Divorce and custody and co-parenting can be a very difficult, stressful and draining experience. Sitting down with Lois and developing a strategy, allowed me to breathe again. She was knowledgeable and understanding and warm. Every time I left after a meeting with Lois, I felt like there was a light ...at the end of the tunnel. And I was back in the realm of possibility. I felt emboldened as a father again. And able to be the kind of father that I wanted to be. Thank you Lois!

LIFE CHANGING ATTORNEY

I was looking on Yahoo for a divorce attorney when my life changed for the better. After a lot of research I decided to call Lois Brenner. My wife served me with divorce papers and I was blindsided. I did not see this coming. I didn’t know she had been having an affair. I was devastated. Lois Brenn...er assured me I would not lose my kids or my money. She guided me along the way, fought for me in court, worked out a great final settlement and negotiated a generous visitation schedule for me with my kids. I am extremely grateful for all she did.

OUTSTANDING MEDIATOR

I am a psychologist and recently went through a divorce. I went to see Lois Brenner because she has an unusual combination of skills-both as an attorney and a psychologically trained medical professional. I found her approach to divorce refreshing and sane. My husband and I used Lois’ skills as a ...mediator to sort through our property issues, solve some of our child visitation problems, and make decision on the division of a family business. She really did simplify our divorce. It’s hard to believe our divorce was close to painless and it was over in no time. Lois Brenner did a great job.

Very Understanding

Lois Brenner really helped me manage my child’s visitation with my ex-boyfriend. She met with both of us and helped us discuss the possibilities. She suggested my boyfriend seek some help for his alcoholism and gave him some resources. She was understanding and gave really helpful suggestions. Sh...e is a very good attorney.
