Without hesitation, the only attorney i would ever call or refer my friends and family to

Legal help is expensive, that goes without saying. Matrimonial law is easily the most complex, gut wrenching, emotional, and exhausting representation there is. As a former (thank you Rona!) client, i can honestly say while your going through this type of situation, it seems like you will never see... the end of the tunnel. You NEED an attorney as good as Rona, who is sensitive and sensible regarding the human side of litigation and who will protect and defend you with her knowledge and common sense in a court of law. There are a lot of sharks and adversarial lawyers out there who will put their ego and billable hours ahead of what's best for you. Rona has ALWAYS been there to advise the pros and cons of any decision or action that will happen ( and some that you would never expect to happen ) Her integrity and expertise made the difference for me during my divorce. Yes, legal help is expensive, but it is money well spent when you have a professional attorney fighting for you... like Rona

Rona is a GREAT attorney

Having seen one to many friends go thru the process with incompetent attorneys, it was great to go thru the process with Rona. I may not have loved all the medicine, but I certainly understood that it was good for me, in the end. She actually listened to what I wanted, and kept that front of mind, ...throughout the whole process. She also telegraphed what my ex's blowhard attorney's next moves were going to be and we were ready for them!!! I have recommended 3 people to Ron in the last 10 months. Two are happily her clients now, and the other wished she had gone with her (since the attorney she went with never calls her back!). Rona is a true find. I can't thank her enough!

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.

I Wish I Met Rona Eight Years Ago

I retained Rona seven years after I signed my mediated divorce agreement, when I needed to enforce certain provisions. She spent the time to explain to me provisions of the agreement I did not understand and carefully explained to me what she would do for me. She was able to quickly resolve my case a...nd get me the money my ex owed me. She always picked up the phone when I called if she was in the office. If she was not in the office, she always called me back within one day. I definitely recommend her.

Other Reviewers Obviously Ddin't Listen to Rona's Advice

I had to post a review after I read the other reviews. I retained Rona to represent me in an ongoing divorce proceeding wherein I had been represented by another attorney. She quickly explained to me what needed to be done to resolve my case in a way I understood. She answered every question I had a...nd spent the time necessary to help me make informed decisions about my case. At the end of the case, there was even money left over which was quickly refunded to me. I have recommended her to several of my friends.
