Ava was a gem of a find when I found myself in a custody battle for my two boys. She knows the art of remaining patient and not letting ego or emotions get in the way. She has decades of experience in law and managing the court processes. My case was what they call a high conflict case with a varie...d range of issues. She went up against the most unscrupulous attorney and handled it with flawless class. Her strategy is simple, she was always very prepared and knew the details of my case, and more importantly the law. She always made me feel confident that every hearing we attended we'd come out one step closer to a positive outcome for my boys. She understands its not just a case, it is the welfare of a family in her hands. Custody battles are not a win/lost situation. She is not in it for the win. Instead she gives you insight so you can get the best outcome for the entire family regardless of what side of the table they sit on. In the end it is only the children that suffer and she really tries to limit the amount of pain the children have to endure. I gained custody early on in my case. Despite that she still tried to negotiate a amicable agreement. Unfortunately the situation did not end amicably. Ultimately custody of the children remained with me. The Family Court system is very difficult to navigate and the process is very long. The Court prefers parents to figure it out on their own...sometimes during that long process parents come to a mutual agreement. Sometimes they don't. When they don't great lawyers like Ava are your guiding light. She is the real deal!

Ava, has been with my case since two years now. It’s a difficult case being the dad doesn’t not want relocation to take place. However, due the certain unamicable things, diagnosis, relationship building with dad; it’s a double edged sword. I am comfortable she will prevail with her knowledge and ex...pertise with child custody. Ava did care and advocates diligently for your concerns and case!i think she is the best !

Not all diamonds are forever. And if things get ugly, you'll find yourself like me - trying to navigate a court system steeped in dysfunction, racism and unconscious bias. A place where cases seem to be adjudicated by fiat. The fact is we are not represented equally and it's on you to find excel...lent counsel. Ava has the reputation (she's a fighter), recency (she knows all the players) and the experience (30+ yrs) to successfully represent you. An institution is only as good as the people who work within it and Ava excels where others fail. The system works when you hire competent, ethical counsel. You wanna win? Hire Ava.
