Alita is the BEST!
I am so impressed with Alita's skills and knowledge regarding her handling my divorce. She is attentive, professional, and has a way of making a person feel completely at ease in her office when discussing sensitive issues. She immediately responds to my emails and is attentive to my concerns. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

The worst representation you could ever imagine! I should have sued her for being in cahoots with my ex-husband! Just like she did with June and Barry! Gary was no better very rude and knew what was going on
