A Great lawyer & A Great law firm
I’ve never had to consult with or hire an attorney for my personal life. My interactions with Attorneys have only been for business, I say this for a reason, it’s a total different feeling. You have a lot going on in your mind and it’s never easy when it comes a separation/Divorce And Totally let down by your spouse/Partner. I was scared/Sad and everything you could imagine dealing with once a relationship is over. That was till I met Shana.
Shana is a great attorney, I was referred to her practice by a dear friend, I was consulted by Shana and after the consult, not only did I feel better about my situation, I hired her on the spot. she is very knowledgeable, understanding and transparent every step of the way. I walked out of her office feeling like myself again. During the few months of court and communication between Shana and my Ex’s attorney my matter was resolved in my favor.
I highly Recommend Shana and her law Firm, she is extremely knowledgeable and professional.

Great attorney
Shana recently took care of a divorce for me. What I thought would be a complicated matter turned out to be just the opposite. With all the Covid issues and restrictions going around I was contemplating a long drawn out process. From The start of the process to the divorce papers being finalized in the court and being recorded it took about 4 months without any complications Shana is a great listener she is very professional very friendly and gets the job done. This past week I had her do some other legal documents for me as well. I’m really glad I found her and have only good things to say about my experience with her.

Ms.
Shana Curti was highly recommended to me by colleague of mine. Shana could not have been more sincere, honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy during a very difficult time. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, after years of attempts my marriage failed. Shana guided me every step of the way. She always responded quickly every time I reached out to her with questions. Most of the time I called her I was in a situation that required immediate guidance. Shana is very knowledgeable and always reassured me in a kind and caring way. Prior to my divorce settlement Shana was right on target determining what to expect according to the law. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking divorce.

Custody Battle
During my year long custody battle Shana Curti was absolutely great. On countless days and nights she was available anytime to converse with my wife and I concerning our troubles. She definitely made me feel at ease throughout the long and tough process. In the end she did exactly what she told me she would do and help me get custody of my daughter.

Attorney for Divorce / Custody
I hired Shana to help me through a difficult divorce involving children. She displayed a tremendous amount of knowledge and patience through the entire process and I am completely satisfied with the results. Before every step that was taken she took the time to let me know what everything means and what would most likely happen, and was 100% accurate in doing so. I will continue to recommend her to everyone and use her again when needed!

Look no further. Your search is over. EXTREMELY knowledgeable. EXCELLENT negotiation skills.
I will be retaining Ms. Curti's services for all of my child support/family court cases in the future. She is as sharp as they come, is laser-focused and is excellent in the art of, and nuance required for successful negotiation (in my last court case she negotiated a $4000 bill down to $650 and (more importantly for me) she negotiated an agreement where myself and my family would no longer have to worry about being harassed, which is something we had been dealing with steadily for eighteen years).
I have an enormous amount of experience with the family court system - I've had countless attorneys in the past who have simply dropped the ball, that I was forced to get educated as much as I could on family law just to protect myself. Well...that has all changed now. Every question, scenario or concern I raised about my case, Shana had an answer for. More importantly, they turned out to be the RIGHT answers. I can't rave enough about her knowledge and skillset - and again, I'm speaking from 18 years of experience in dealing with different attorneys. My only regret is not knowing about, and hiring her YEARS ago. Thank you for everything, Shana!
