Efficient, Caring lawyer

Ian Mednick was referred to me by a friend, after I had a horrible experience with another lawyer. I am so glad I listened to my friend. I actually feel like I have a lawyer now that is looking out for me. Going through divorce has been a rollercoaster; however, knowing you have a lawyer you can ...count on makes it a little easier. I was lied to by my former lawyer; moreover, told to do things that would not benefit me. I found out the hard way. I really feel blessed that my friend recommended me to Ian. Ian is knowledgeable, thorough, competent and shows genuine concern. I would highly recommend Ian and have done so already!

Ian Mednick: Absolutely the finest Attorney to represent your divorce proceeding

Ian Mednick was my attorney for my divorce from my wife. He represented me with the utmost professionalism, immediacy and personal care I expected. I have two young children and was first and foremost concerned about them; without question Mr. Mednick handled my family like his own. He never pursued ...or pressured me to pursue unrealistic goals in my divorce just to simply increase his bill. He stayed the course from beginning to end. I work in law enforcement and as a result of hiring Mr Mednick I was able to keep 100% of my pension, have joint custody of my children and get a fresh start in life.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
