Posted by anonymous | January 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

An expert in every part of the divorce process, who saved me thousands AND a trip to court. Runs a very professional office too!

I am extremely happy with the work Ms Stark and her team did for my divorce; she provides genuinely premium service I couldn’t have done without. I want to try and thank her for the great job she did by sharing it with other people considering her services. The first thing I noticed about her app...roach was how empathetic and intelligent she was about my situation. She’s a big picture thinker, who really understands all the difficult parts of divorce and how they affect each other. When I first saw her, I had been hit with an order to go to Family Court out of nowhere from my separated husband. I was angry, and I didn’t know the law, so I couldn’t see the right way out. Ms Stark listened very carefully to the details of my case and recommended the exact strategy we would use then and there. She knew the law and exactly how my rights worked, and she gave me the advice I needed to calmly negotiate what would end up being a great settlement for me. By itself, this saved me what would have been thousands of dollars and countless hours of heartbreak for me and my child. I was furious and ready to go to court, but with a clear mind and Ms Stark’s help I got more than I could have hoped for from any judge. Once uncontested terms were reached, she and her team got to work. I found her office to be staffed with quick and efficient professionals. There were some complicated and unusual terms in my divorce agreement, which they handled without a problem. On a personal level, they struck the right balance of warmth and professionalism. And they were excellent communicators, clearly answering my questions and letting me know of any developments as they came up. My divorce was such a difficult and important thing in my life, and I wanted to make sure things were done right with it. In everything from the paperwork to the tough negotiations about custody, visitation, and child support, I feel like Ms Stark was worth every penny. Definitely give her your consideration!

You will not regret it

It is hard to find an attorney that truly cares about her client's situation, is attentive to the small nuances of your case, whose staff is always responsive to any and all question you may have and at the same time exudes a professional , well kempt and classy demeanor. Yet, Luba possesses all of t...hese qualities. I hired her to handle my divorce and never once did I feel like her office saw me as so many dollar bills to be collected. In fact, I walked away from the experience feeling as if I had gained a new group of confidants and people that genuinely sympathized with my situation. Not only did they help me attain all that I wanted: sole custody of my daughter, maintenance and a home for me and my child, I emerged like a Phoenix rising form the ashes of my terrible marriage and I have Mrs. Stark and her team to thank for my new confidence and sense of security. I highly recommend Lubov Stark LLC if your considering a divorce or if you need to resolve custody issues involving your children. Her services are truly worth every dollar you will spend.

Caring and Extremely Knowledgeable Attorney

Going through a divorce can be very difficult. I was lucky enough to find Ms. Stark to help me get though my divorce quickly and economically. From the moment I sat down for my consultation Ms. Stark was caring and made me feel like everything would be alright. She guided me through the divorce pr...ocess and made what could have been a very grueling process much easier for me to handle. I highly recommend Ms. Stark for her professionalism and her vast knowledge in divorce law.

Excellent attorney

Lubov made a difficult situation bearable; you don’t know your spouse until they become your adversary in a divorce action. I saw a side of my wife I never imagined existed. She fought me for everything: visitation, child support and division of assets. I only wanted to be a part of my children's l...ife and the ability to support myself after our marriage. Lubov gave me a roadmap of the divorce process so I knew what was happening every step of the way. She placed herself in my shoes as a parent and protected me so that I did not have to end in a homeless shelter after my divorce. I am grateful to her and her firm.

Lubov Stark which left me extremely satisfied. Is Absolutely the best divorce Attorney I’ve meet in the last 7 years. She was very Helpful, Kind, and Tremendously Knowledgeable. She negotiated my case and saved me money avoiding heavy litigation. She got me emergency orders to be with my children fo...r the Christmas holidays. The judge showed trust and respect towards her. Lubov Stark has made a huge difference. I would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone in need of a great lawyer.
