Lily is experienced, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, fearless, and honest. She was the second divorce attorney I hired: the first one did not know how to handle a high conflict divorce, but Lily was quick to understand the situation, and fought for me, to achieve the best possible outcome... in a bad situation. I was truly afraid of my ex spouse, who could be extremely spiteful, and Lily helped me to feel safe. I appreciated that she did not employ dirty tactics or lies, which the other party did, but was still an able, calm yet fierce advocate for me and for the interests of my children. She knows the laws and the courts very well. I could count on her to give me her honest assessment of the situation and possible/probable scenarios, to fight for me where it made sense to fight, but also to help to bring us to a workable agreement whenever the opportunity arose. She advocated so that I could make choices that I could live with: I wanted to keep my house, and she helped me to do that, even when the other party wanted to force me to sell it. However, she did encourage me to think about all of the options that were available to me before making my decisions. She was kind, patient, and encouraging when I felt that I could not tolerate the stress of the divorce. I believe that she truly understands what divorce feels like for her clients, having been through it herself once. I recommend her highly to anyone who is going through a divorce.

I just finished with more than a year long divorce "saga". Thanks to Lily, we were able to avoid a trial and the case was settled on quite reasonable terms. When my now ex- filed for divorce, I interviewed 3 lawyers and did not feel comfortable. A friend of a friend of mine recommended Lily, and af...ter we first met I was quite confident that I can trust her. Step after step after step, thanks to Lily, we were getting into more and more advantageous position. Lily is a pleasure to deal with; she is easily accessible (you don't need to go through layers of secretaries, assistants to ask a question) , personable, very experienced, has a great intuition and great sense of humor. Divorce is terrible situation, but if you get a lawyer that you are comfortable with, it makes things much easier. I would recommend Lily wholeheartedly.

Lily started off as my review attorney in mediation, where her savvy intuition lead us to information about which I was unaware during my marriage. We ended up in court where she made sure I would be taken care of financially. It was a major success, thanks to Lily. She was always accessible (and ...continues to be), excellent communicator, explained everything to me in a way I'd comprehend, kept me calm, and again, secured me with a more than satisfying settlement. I will always be grateful to Lily for making sure me & my kids will be taken care of. I highly recommend her for ANY case!
