Cares About His Clients

Lou was really great handling my divorce. He settled it much faster than I expected and I was very happy with the advice and results that I got from him. He really bent over backwards to accommodate my needs, answering the phone at any time of day or night even on holidays! He often met me early in ...the morning and late at night as I have a very hectic schedule during the day. Overall, I could not have had a better experience with Lou-his advice, staff, and even rate are unbeatable!

Grateful for Lou!!!

Having Lou represent me in my divorce was one of the best decisions that I have ever made! Not only did he get an extremely favorable settlement agreement, but the level of professionalism that he demonstrated is becoming increasingly harder to find these days. He was honest, straight forward, quick ...to return phone calls or answer emails, proactive in keeping me informed, and always well prepared. There is no question that his experience is one of his best assets as he was very knowledgeable and always knew how to handle new issues as they came up. I really enjoyed working with Lou and I am sure that he will able to help you just as well!

Highly Recommended!

When I came to Lou about my divorce I thought all was lost. I had already retained another attorney who really did nothing on my behalf except flood my mail with bills. After I switched to Lou, my case really turned around. He fought for me on every issue I felt strongly about and made sure that I re...ceived everything that I was entitled to. As a professional, he was top notch; he was easy to get a hold of, gave clear and thorough answers, and kept me well-informed with every new development. It was clear throughout the whole process that he really care about the case and never put it on the back burner. In the end, I was very satisfied with the results he got for me and even happier with the more than affordable bill!

Affordable Advice with Great Results!

I came to Lou with a very complicated family court matter and he could not have been more helpful to me in sorting it out. I followed his advice throughout the entire process and everything worked out for the best in the end! He was always available to speak with, answered emails promptly, and never ...left me in the dark with what was happening; most importantly, he gave me a very reasonable rate!. Unlike a lot of attorneys who promise the world, charge you an arm and leg, and disappear, it was clear from the beginning that Lou had my best interests at heart and we remain close friends to this day!!! Thank you so much, Lou!

Cares about his clients!

It is really too bad that there are not more lawyers like Lou. He handled my divorce and child custody matter two years ago and we are still friends to this day. From day one, it was very apparent that he really cares about his clients- sometimes calling on Saturdays and holidays to update me with im...portant information regarding my case. He always took my calls and made sure that when the conversation ended, I understood everything we had gone over. I felt I could completely trust Lou, and never felt that he just wanted to take my money. In the end, and most importantly, he won me custody of my kids and for that, I could not be more grateful. If you need legal advice, please call Lou's office. You won't be disappointed.
