Sole Legal Custody

Nancy took over my case after almost 2.5 years and three hearing later- I had a paper that stated I had some legal and final decision making. Nancy spoke up for me in the court room, she spoke up for my child. We settled but- I won. The orders that were written favored my daughter best interest. Than...k You. I would hire Nancy.

Pre-Nuptial Agreement

I would highly recommend Nancy. I retained Nancy to draft a pre-nuptial agreement. I was worried that the negotiation of a pre-nup would get contentious and start my marriage off on the wrong foot. But Nancy alleviated my concerns. She was firm in representing my interests but also worked collabo...ratively with my wife's attorney to resolve any issues that arose. And most importantly, she clearly explained the issues for me, talked through my goals, and discussed how we could reasonably achieve those goals. She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Client

Nancy was able to get the best outcome I could in my case. She is hands down the best attorney I could have had representing myself. Nancy is an excellent attorney! Even before I hired Nancy she was always available to answer any questions that I had. She knew the law and gave very professional advic...e. Nancy was able to handle the case with great professionalism. She has the qualities that anyone should look for in an attorney. She is honest, respectful, professional.

"I have known Nancy for well over 15 years going back to law school. Over the years, we have worked on matters as opposing counsel and also I have referred matters to her. I can unequivocally say that I trust Nancy with any matter that I have ever referred to her and have always heard rave reviews from clients I have referred to her. Moreover, in cases we litigated against each other, she always came to court prepared to fight on behalf of her client and received the utmost respect from the Court and the litigants. If you are seeking a competent, strong, skilled matrimonial attorney, look no further than Nancy."
