My Guardian Angel
Mr. Forman helped me to obtain full custody of my child, who is autistic. He was assertive, professional, and a shark. He never left my side. He was beyond excellent. Words cannot describe the joy that I feel. I am so grateful!

I had an opportunity to handle a murder case, in which Mr. Forman was the initial attorney(his discharge was based on strategic and ethical considerations unrelated to his qualifications). I was able to secure an acquittal of all charges in large part due to the thorough supervision of the initial investigation and the excellent preservation of the record during his two years on the case. Mr. Forman is the real deal."
