Divorce Lawyer
Mr. Storms is an excellent divorce lawyer. He prepared me well for each hearing. He is also very good at writing motions. We won all motions I asked for. He successfully opposed all of my spouse's motions. It felt great knowing that I had a better lawyer than my spouse. Highly recommend this divorce lawyer

Amazing!
They know how to handle cases and won mine pretty quickly. Mr. Storms took care of all my legal matters and it really helped my stress levels go down knowing I had a capable lawyer. I was really impressed with how they handle themselves as lawyers and must recommend them to others seeking legal counsel.

Fights for their client
They will give you their full attention and aren’t shy about fighting for what their client wants. Mr. Storms personally picked up my calls anytime I had a question and patiently explained every aspect of the divorce process thoroughly to me. He gave me a great outcome for my divorce and I’m happy I went with Solomos and Storms. To anyone looking for a great lawyer in Queens or Brooklyn county, go with them.

Excellent
I was in a state of near devastation to my financial well-being when I encountered Solomos and Storms. I was being sued for thousands of dollars for an accidental injury that occurred on my property. This incident was entirely false and I refuse to pay for something that was fabricated. After meeting and getting to know Derrick Storms and seeing the sheer dedication and his sincere want to help my case, I hired Solomos and Storms. Derrick put so much effort into my case and it paid off when the lawsuit was dismissed due to faulty service. The relief that I got from knowing that I no longer have to deal with the stress from the lawsuit was much needed. Having Solomos and Storms take over my case soothed my stress and completely rescued my livelihood. I extremely approve of this law firm and recommend them for anyone looking for a lawyer in Brooklyn or Queens County.

Amazing service! :)
I had to get a divorce after being in a physically abusive marriage. It was hard for me to make the decision but it was the best thing I ever did. The lawyer at Solomos and Storms got me very high maintenance payments due to the physical abuse in my marriage and I was also able to keep the house and many other assets. I was extremely satisfied with the knowledge and professionalism of the attorneys at Solomos and Storms. Highly recommend!

Best Lawyer Ever
Solomos & Storms are the best lawyers ever they have represented me on several matters and I must say they have represented me very very well. I had my property damaged By an excavator. While preforming construction next to my home. They hit my building damaging the foundation causing the building to lean and the walls to crack. My insurance company denied my claim almost making me and my family homeless because we was unable to live in the home after it was so badly damaged. Derrick filed an Emergency Order to Show Cause to have the insurance company pay for me and my family’s temporary housing while my house was being fix.
Solomos & Storms are excellent at drafting motions. After seeing Derrick in action in court he knows how to talk to the judges and he knows his way around the courts. I will refer these guys to any and everyone. My insurance company was ordered to pay for my temporary housing. The insurance company tried to appeal the decision ( State Farm) Derrick successfully won the appeal. They are excellent appeal lawyers. I have used these guys on many cases ranging from personal injuries, foreclosure , eviction, divorce & family law court, property damage cases. These guys can do it all they are the best attorneys in Brooklyn and Queens !!! I would recommend them to everybody I Tyrana Carter Jones highly recommend Jimmy Solomos and Derrick Storms to anybody who needs an attorney in Brooklyn and Queens

Best divorce lawyers!
Solomos and Storms really turned my case around. I went from 3 disappointing lawyers with no regard for my wishes to one splendid team who helped my win in my divorce. Save yourself the trouble of dealing with attorneys who only care about money, and go to Solomos and Storms. They are the best in Brooklyn and Queens county by a long shot.

Best Choice
Solomos and Storms made the divorce process so easy. For years, I thought about getting a divorce, but could not go through with it. One day, my daughter came to me and said she could not live in this household anymore. At that point I realized my ex wasn’t only harming me but also my daughter. Mr. Storms was very patient with me, caring and very understanding of my situation. As I was not working, he was able to have my ex pay for the legal fees during the divorce. I got all the child support and maintenance n I requested and was able to live in the house. This has been the best decision I have made for myself and my daughter. I would refer them for anyone filing for a divorce.

Best attorney
Working with the lawyers at Solomos and Storms was a great experience. In my Family Law and Divorce Court actions, my ex filed a Temporary Protective Order against me that was based on total nonsense. I couldn’t get back into my apartment until the TPO was vacated. Solomos and Storms got the TPO vacated very quickly so that I can move back into my apartment. Then they helped me file for Divorce. I was able to get my divorce resolved very fast. The lawyers are very knowledgeable and professional. You will see that they know immediately what to do to win your case. If you are having Family Court Issues or need a Divorcej, I will highly recommend them.

Amazing attorney
I met Derrick Storms from Solomos and Storms during a very difficult time in my life. My prior attorney was a disaster and my case was in ruins. Derrick was able to restore my case and save me from the jaws of defeat. My family and I have used Derrick on numerous and very difficult cases, including an appeal. Derrick is an excellent brief writer and he was able to show the true story to the court and overcome the other attorney's misrepresentations. Very few attorneys could have accomplished what Derrick did. My family and I are thankful for what he did and will continue to use him in the future.

Don't hire him
I hired him to do my divorce, after the first payment, he asked me for more money to file a motion and never filed it. It has been 3 months since I paid him the additional payment and he still haven't filed it. I tried to call, send messages, e-mail, everything and he didn't return any of my contacts. He advertises on his website "We take pride in providing one on one attention to clients to properly educate them and guide them through the Divorce and Family Court process. " and here I am 3 months later waiting to have a feedback and he simply doesn't return any of my calls, messages or e-mails.
