Good Lawyer

I retained Ms. Gura and her firm for my child custody proceeding and they got me sole custody of my kids. They got me everything I needed in an efficient way. She and her partner explained to me everything that was occurring every step of the way. Her fees were fair and my ex and I are in a much bett...er place because I listened to her expert advice. I have seen the review posted by the previous poster on other websites. Clearly, he knows how to cut and paste as he is continually posting the exact same trash on other websites. .But, just as clearly, he does not know how to pay for the services he is provided. Since, as the poster admitted, Ms. Gura sued him for her fees and won then a judge must have decided that the fees were well earned. He mentions that he's an educator, I wonder whether he would continue teaching if he was not be paid for his services. Definitely hire Ms. Gura and her firm. I am so happy did.

wonderful representation!!

I would Definitely Hire Rona Gura Again Rona represented me in a complex custody case with my ex-husband after we had been divorced for eight years. She was prepared every time we were in court and I felt that I had great representation. The judge clearly respected her, listened when she spoke, and... almost always agreed with her. She was also readily accessible by phone. If she wasn’t in when I called, she always called me back the same day. She also managed to finish the case within the original retainer amount she quoted to me. I hope to never have to use another divorce lawyer again but, if I do, I would hire Rona again in a heartbeat.

A friend in private and a fighter in the court room.

Rona Gura helped me to not only get custody of my kids but even more then I expected. She was a true saint through out my entire divorce! When I had to take my ex-husband back to court to fight for him to pay child support Rona Gura was there for me every step of the way again and was able to win me ...the support I needed! Shes the best lawyer a lost confused mother going through a divorce could ever ask for.

Rona Helped Me to “Stop the Fighting”

My ex-husband’s idea of joint custody was to bully me until I agreed with him or, if I did not, file petitions against me in Family Court. I had two attorneys before I hired Rona. Not only did she work to get the most current petition dismissed but she worked with my ex’s attorney to get him to under...stand what joint custody is. She really delivered on her web site’s promise of stopping the fighting.

Rona Got Me Custody of My Kids

I hired Rona three years ago while in the midst of a custody battle with my now ex-wife. As a father no one took my desire for custody of my kids seriously, most importantly the judge. More upsetting, however, was that my childrens' attorney refused to see the harm my ex was doing to my kids by const...antly badmouthing me and interferring with my visitation. It took three years but Rona turned everything around and my kids now live with me. Rona refused to take "no" for an answer and got me the result many other lawyers told me would never happen.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
