Thank you!

Lou was really great dealing with my divorce. He was especially responsive to the concerns I had about how the divorce would affect my kids. As a family man himself, he went above and beyond to make sure that my relationship with them remained strong. There's no doubt that the effort he put in during... that trying time of my life has allowed my relationship with my kids today to be a very good one. Thanks for everything Lou!

Truly the Best!

Lou was everything that I wanted in a divorce attorney...honest, responsive, fair with his price, tough in court, and got results. I could not have been more pleased with the service I received and I am grateful for his representation. His office staff was a pleasure to work with and made the entire ...process that much easier. If you are seeking legal advice, you need to hire Lou!

Very Honest and Trustworthy

Lou handled a case for me a couple of months and my experience working with him was great. He was professional, caring, and got the job done. Most importantly, though, he was HONEST and CLEAR with me from the beginning of my case right through until the end. When my case was over, he refunded my bala...nce that was left over on the retainer. I've heard that a lot of attorneys just make up things to bill for so they use up the entire retainer, but that was NOT the case with Lou. I knew and understood everything that I paid for thanks to his professional nature and I cannot thank him enough being so honest and straight forward me. Such class is hard to find nowadays.

A truly sincere and caring attorney!

Lou was so great handling my divorce! I am a mother of three and I was looking for an attorney who would make my relationship with my kids a primary concern. As a father and family man, Lou really understood where I was coming from. He made sure that I got the best settlement possible and fought hard... for me over the issues surrounding my children. Today, I continue to have a wonderful relationship with them. His entire office was very sensitive to my needs and flexible to accommodate my crazy schedule. I am very thankful for their help throughout that stressful time in my life!

Loved Lou and His Firm

I got divorced a few years ago, but recently I had a post-judgement issue with my now ex-wife. I didn't particularly enjoy working with my old divorce attorney so I came to Lou with a jaded view of lawyers. Not only did he fix the issues that I was having, but he completely renewed my faith and trust... in the legal profession. He was honest, easy to reach, explained things in plain English, and charged a great rate. Lou got the results I wanted and he was everything you could expect from a working professional throughout the entire process. Don't even bother looking at other attorneys... Lou is your guy!
