The best...

I had excellent results using Alex Potruch. Alex handled my matter from beginning to end with the utmost dedication and professionalism and went far and beyond to make this difficult time easier. He is patient, informative, and thorough. He was always available by phone and email to promptly addre...ss any issues. I was relieved and confident to have him on my side.

Right man at the right time

Alex not only displays the utmost professionalism and experience but he also adds the perfect amount of compassion which helped me tremendously thru a very stressful, trying time in my life. He is absolutely fluent in every aspect of the law pertaining to Divorce,Family and Child custody. I have reco...mmended Alex and will continue to do so . It has been ten years since my divorce was finalized and I again thank "The Man".

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Alexander Potruch represented me in a very embittered divorced that lasted for many years. He was the ultimate professional, knowledgeable and accomplished attorney who was well versed and proficient in the complicated mechanics and procedures of the court systems. Unlike other attorneys, he wa...s very receptive to hear my own methods in dealing with certain issues, and was extremely respectful even when we disagreed. As there were serious custody issues at risk, he never took his eyes of the goal of getting the optimum results for my children’s best welfare. All things being equal, he always chose the path which would minimize my own trauma and always concerned himself with minimizing his fees, (which were always fair and never inflated). Divorce, especially when it concerns not only one’s own welfare but also those of minor children, is never going to be without stress to say the least, and to have someone like Mr. Potruch represent me is as best as you can get. He is respected by his peers as well as adversaries as a clear thinking, honest and extremely skilled lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
