Exceptional Advocacy and Compassion During Divorce

Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions, and finding the right attorneys can make all the difference. I chose Fass & Greenberg based on their experience and versatility. I had hoped that we could mediate an amicable resolution but wanted to be prepared if things ended up in litigation. ... Flo stood ready for either eventuality. She explained my options, answered my concerns, and gave good advice when things were most challenging. Over two years, she worked tirelessly to secure the best possible settlement for me. Her knowledge of marital law, coupled with her empathy, made an incredibly challenging process more manageable. If you are facing divorce, I highly recommend Flo—she is an exceptional advocate who will fight for you while providing the support and understanding you need. Her partner is equally skilled and able. They work closely with each other, so I always felt I was in good hands whether it was Laney or Flo responding to me.

Divorce

Divorce is so difficult… it’s like grieving a death… the break of a marriage and a family is a magnanimous loss… I couldn’t have gotten better legal assistance or compassion that at Fass and Greenberg… they were experts in marital law while maintaining empathy and compassion… I recommend them to anyo...ne going through this difficult process.

Brilliant, Successfull, Passionate & Well Respected Lawyer

After losing thoudands of dollars to another lawyer who was not even able to get our case heard, my husband & I were on the verge of giving up with very little hope that we would be able to gain custody of my stepchildren. We began to feel helpless as their childhood & future deteriorated right befor...e our eyes. It was a very complicated case, in which the kids were being neglected & dragged through the homeless system. The same system meant to protect our children, did what ever they could to make sure the kids stayed with their mother regardless of her neglect or the fact that the shelters they were staying in were drug infested & dangerous with no place to play outside. As a result we became extemely discouraged with the system since it was evident that however neglectful one might be, children's services will do what ever they can to keep a mother with her children, even when it is not in the child's best interest. Emotionally drained, we were pushed by a good friend who insisted we call Ms. Fass & give it one more try. Ms. Fass was described as being well respected, sucessful & had experience with our specific circumstance (our children, although high-functioning are on the autistism spectrum & are not able to determine what would be in their best interest.) Finally able to obtain a court date, we called Florance the Friday before a holiday weekend. By pure luck, we were able to speak via phone and immediately she graced us with her professionalism, empathy, honesty & guidance. In the first time in over a year and a half, my husband and I had a glimmer of hope. As a result of Florence Fass' knowledge, expertise & guidance, my husband obtained full custody of my stepchildren and they finally have the love, stabilty & safety they so desperately need & deserve. We will be eternally greatfull to Ms. Fass & her team, as if it were not for her passion, competence, care & humanity, our difficult case would not have had the positive outcome it has!
