Rona L. Gura

I thought I could handle my divorce amicably by myself, but my ex husband’s family attorney (who hates me) hired the most expensive and viscous divorce lawyers in New York to make the divorce as contentious as possible for me. My situation didn’t improve until a dear family friend recommended Ro...na to me. She immediately assuaged all of my concerns and fought hard for me and I ended up with a better settlement in the process. Rona made the best of a bad situation and I will recommend her to everyone. She’s also a very nice person.

I trusted Rona Gura to handle my contentious divorce. It was a mistake trusting Rona, and now I have to live forever with this error in judgment. Rona faced an aggressive and nasty attorney, and rather than fighting hard for me, Rona spent much of her billable time trying to convince me to go along w...ith my ex's unreasonable demands. I gave away so many things that other divorce lawyers would never give away. Incredibly, Rona made a deal that has me paying about twice as much monthly child support as any family court judge would have imposed. Now I have to live with the mistake of trusting her at the lowest point in my life. She really hurt my cause, and my relationship with my child suffers today as a result of her convincing me to sign a really bad agreement. About a year after posting this review, Avvo alerted me that Rona disputed it and had it removed. What was she disputing? I'm allowed to have my view of what happened. I also noticed that Rona had other negative reviews removed too. I believe that censoring off bad reviews is deceptive and wrong.

I wanted a lawyer who would help me through this most difficult time. Fortunately I found Rona Gura. I had interviewed a few before her and knew she was the one I needed. Rona did exactly as she promised-no complications or huge fees. She and her staff were compassionate and very, very patient with... me. All my questions were answered and my calls and emails were returned promptly. She saved me from myself. I was angry and wanted more than my husband wanted to give me. Rona explained that we could try but it would be costly and nothing was guaranteed. I'm so glad I listened to her. I got what I needed without acrimony or needless expense. I would, without reservation, recommend her.

I hired Rona after reading some of the bad reviews here. I specifically asked Rona about those reviews in my consultation and her answer really impressed me. First she told me that some of them appear to be made up, as she had no idea who the person was, might be the angry ex-spouse of her former cli...ents. As for a review from a real former client, she told me that she cannot comment about a client or former client because she is still bound by privilege. I knew then that she would be the right lawyer for me, one I could trust with everything I needed to tell her, to do the right thing for me and bill me fairly. And she didn't disappoint. No one gets everything they want in a divorce but Rona listened to what was important to me and made those issues a priority. I also saw the amount my husband was billed for our divorce and it was double the amount she billed me. Rona offers a free consultation. Definitely go see her. You’ll be glad you did.

Rona represented me in a divorce with a lot of complicated issues. She was compassionate and I always felt she had my best interest in mind. She kept me informed of the progress in the case and responded in a very genuine manner to a number of scary developments I encountered along the way. I was... very pleased with the outcome and timing of the resolution of the case. I can now move forward and put that chapter of my life behind me.
