Family law matters can be emotionally and financially draining so you need an attorney who cares about you, your family, and your life. You need someone who knows when to be calm and negotiate and when aggressively litigate, all while putting the best interest of your family above legal fees.
Many people view divorce as a family being torn apart but, with the right lawyer, your family can be redefined.
Family law is my passion and I have practiced it exclusively since graduating from Hofstra Law in 2010. I started Joleena Louis Law in 2013 and have been happily redefining families ever since.

Attorney Louis was amazing and a literal lifesaver. I was in an abusive relationship and really waffled on if I wanted to move forward. Ms. Louis was kind but extremely honest about what I could expect and what the process would be. She went above and beyond to connect me to ressources to help me...

She got paid for nothing . Went to court got paid $500 every time my ex didn’t show up . All I learned is how a lawyer can stiff a client by just showing up. I did a better job representing myself. Unprofessional. License should be revoked
I can't control if the other party appears, however, I still have to be paid for doing my job and appearing in court. My fees are also in the retainer agreement which specifies when and how clients are charged. Glad you got the outcome you were seeking on your own.

I had an open and shut case, my ex and I had a pre-nup and he signed over full custody so this case was purely about filing paperwork. Everything took forever, she never, ever followed up with me or at the court when things were taking way too long. I emailed for updates and would just get a standa...
With the global pandemic, there were substantial delays in getting judgments signed as the courts had limited staff. My office regularly follows up on the status of outstanding judgments, but there is nothing we can do to make the court sign them faster. Once it's filed it is generally out of our hands and we wait for it to be signed or the court will contact us if the Judge/Referee needs additional information. I completely understand the frustration with the delay but I, unfortunately, cannot control the timeline of the court.

I had a very messy and emotional divorce. I was scared, confused and worried about getting custody of my children. Ms. Louis was very patient and understanding. She listened to me, returned my calls right away and explained everything to me, sometimes more than once. It was a long, hard process ...
