Tells it like it is!

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Pernille was nothing was "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. I could speak my mind to her but, no matter how upset I was about the situation she always presented the facts of what was going to ha...ppen. Going thru the separation and divorce from start to finish, Pernille kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep me happy. When calling the office, Pernille took the phone call when she was available and if she was unavailable there was a return phone call usually within a few hours. Perhaps the best thing I can say is that I really felt Pernille was on my side and knew what battles we should fight and what we should concede during the divorce. Divorce can be very emotional at times for the parties involved and Pernille really helped me keep things in perspective with her straight forward approach. Without a doubt, I would reccomend Pernille Frankmar for one's legal needs.

Divorce Strategist

After two discussions with Pernille over my pending divorce I gained strategies on how to respond to demands and accusations from my soon to be ex-wife. I switched attorneys to Pernille who patiently and clearly elaborated on how the law works and what my options were. She brought the divorce to a cl...ose, i.e. divorce decree, within 5 months of involvement. Along the way she guided me through a contested MSA, a few petitions, custody and child support.

Excellent

Pernille has helped me through very complicated situations. She is very realistic about outcomes. She will not tell you what you want to hear, she sticks to the facts. She is very responsive to phone calls and emails. Pernille does not give false hope, she tells you what you should expect. She has ke...pt me informed every step of the way. She is willing to talk and listen to you with any problems that you have. I recommend Pernille to anyone that has custody issues.
