Complex Family Court Case - Attorney Poll knew just what to do!

Attorney Poll was a professional right off the bat! Any time I felt overwhelmed by the case, he supported me and reminded me what was at stake and that he could win! My attorney believed in me and he went above and beyond at every juncture, including making sure he knew the case inside and out. He me...t my child, so that he could gain insight from the individual that was impacted the most by this case. Attorney Poll always had time for a call from me. I know he has a huge caseload, but every time we spoke, I felt like I was his only client. In all my years. that is the true sign of a client-first practice. On top of everything I have listed, Attorney Poll never treated us as a case or file number, or a dollar amount. He even went so far as to see if our fees could be reduced in any way, since I am a single father doing all I can for my child. And thanks to Erno Poll, I get to care for my child each and every day and I am forever grateful. I cannot thank Erno Poll enough, along with everyone else at the Greenwald Law Practice. Using his more than 35 years of practicing law, Attorney Poll was always happy to explain any and all court procedures for how these types of cases go. It is not all that frequent a father wins custody of a child when the mother also wants custody. But, we were in the right; my attorney knew it, and with his excellent skills, he ensured the judge knew it as well. I would recommend Attorney Poll to all those looking for a true professional that genuinely cares.Because of all Attorney Poll's hard work and dedication, I, the child's father, was able to walk out of court with sole custody of my child with visitation at OUR discretion. I literally couldn't have been successful like this without Attorney Poll and I'm so grateful for his service.

Totally Disgusted

This supposed attorney and his secretary are without any doubt the worst representatives for anyone's case. I first went to this law firm to get a downward modification for child support. I was in a very bad accident and was unable to work as I had surgery and was needing a second in the very near fu...ture. He FAILED to give my medical records to the courts and opposing attorney to get the much needed modification. Long story short he did not. I was constantly getting increases in my bill from his office and his secretary was a nasty and rude woman. My case was dismissed and child support was literally spiraling out of control. I made an objection to the dismissal went to court only to find I was incarcerated to the Orsnge County Jail where as I spent 3 months and actually had my more serious spinal surgery while incarcerated. I must note I now have custody of my child and now my ex pays me. RUN do not walk from this attorney. He robbed me not only of money, but more importantly my time with my son and I'm sure no one would ever want to experience the nightmare of having to have major surgery handcuffed and shackled to a bed and surgery table because of your attorneys lack of DOING HIS JOB WHICH HE GOT PAID FOR.

Not Impressed

We are using him in a family matter. He mixed up a great deal of the information we gave him during our initial meeting, so we contacted him by phone and were told to mark it up and send it back for corrections. He fixed the mistakes we pointed out to him. Then billed us for the phone calls, emails a...nd time spent making the corrections of his mistakes. I complained to the firm and got the money for the corrections refunded. I felt like I should be billing them for the time I had to spend making the corrections and the time I spent straightening out the billing. Now we're halfway done with our process and it seems like he's making a great effort to recoup the refunded money by calling us in for unnecessary meetings and getting on the phone with me to discuss things that his secretary could/should have easily handled on her own. The staff at this firm definitely does not go out of their way to be friendly. I'll be very glad when this is over so I can be done with this office.

Ben

I initially consulted with Erno Poll on a delicate and complex Family/Matrimonial matter. He promptly responded to my inquiry. I immediately found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional and sensitive to my situation. His advice and communication skills tactfully kept me from making costly m...istakes. His vast experience came in to play once again when he further had to evaluate my ongoing dilemma. I am grateful for Mr. Poll’s service and skills. He is a pro that I would gladly recommend.
