You will not be disappointed!
I met with two lawyers before Mr.Eiges. They both said I had a difficult case, but not him. I went to Mr. Eiges and he took the time to explain my options (this was the consultation and he was already planning a strategy for my case! ) Before every court date I would receive a call, he would go over...

Exceptionally knowledgeable in Divorce matters
After interviewing 3 attorneys and going nowhere, I finally consulted and retained Ken Eiges on the same day I first met with. He has an exceptional listening quality and takes notes. I am one to ask in depth questions, which the 3 attorneys, whom I had consulted with, found to be challenging; but...

Unfortunately, my review is negative.
Daniele's review from 12/19/15 sums up my entire experience to the letter. I also hired Ken to represent me in my case. I too am unable to recommend his services as I feel he was distracted. In all fairness he did not physically represent me due to the scheduling of my hearing dates and other cases h...
I had a long conversation with Daniele. I know his review was written by him. I have no idea who wrote this review so unfortunately I cannot comment on the review. I do not believe that the person who wrote this review is or was a client of my office.

Extreme satisfaction
I am extremely satisfied with the representation Eiges & Orgel provided me in my divorce case. Ken Eiges handled my case. I always felt that he listened to what I had to say and was always honest with me. He told me the things that could go wrong and the things that could go right. He seemed ...

I regret having to post a negative review
This review of Mr. Eiges’s professional services, solicited by him with a letter dated 11/23/2015, is solely my personal opinion. It accounts for my experience only, and might not be representative of the typical level of service provided by Mr. Eiges to other clients. I am very dissatisfied with...
I want to thank my client for commenting on my honesty and the quality of my staff. Obviously I did not perform to his satisfaction which I do regret. I respect my client’s opinion but I want to comment on how his case was handled. My adversary on this case is a colleague and friend of mine. We both have been in this field for a long time. Our aim was not to get the advantage, but to work out an amicable settlement in order to save our clients needless legal fees and emotional distress. My client had a strong case but the legal fees that he would have had to pay me to win would have far exceeded the minimal amount of money he had to pay to settle the case and the extraordinary amount of money he would have had to pay if he lost the case. Many attorneys would encourage litigation in this case, which would work to the advantage of the attorney and not the client. . It’s difficult to tell a client that the client is right, but it would be better to settle a case. I rather lose the battle and win the war. That’s how an honest and experienced lawyer represents a client effectively.
