Amir will not act in your best interests

I hired Amir to represent my best interests and I feel he did not come anywhere close to achieving that goal. Focusing on the one major aspect that he neglected to follow through with his strong legal conviction that a particular outcome would be probable, he neglected to invite me into the support c...onference and instructed me to wait outside in the lobby after I asked to come in with him. The outcome, was the complete opposite of what he suggested it would be. He said that in his experience as an attorney he believed that my soon to be ex-wife would owe me money since I was paying for 100% of my children’s housing, clothing, food, medical, and shelter needs. After waiting 2 hours, Amir delivers me quite the opposite news stating that not only am I not to receive money from my ex-wife, but that I owe her $1000 a month to support her. His response to my questioning the outcome was, “I am sorry that it didn’t turn out the way we had hoped,”. There are two other issues I have but this was the one that hurt the most. In my humble opinion, I do not feel that Amir Stark has represented my best interests and I would not recommend him to any person looking to hire an attorney.

Dear Mike, I sympathize with your frustration concerning the outcome of your support matter. Support orders in Pennsylvania are awarded pursuant to a Statewide guideline based on each individual party's income rather than their expenses. Sometimes, as in your case, a person who works hard to earn a living is punished while their unemployed spouse is rewarded. This is frustrating but it is the reality of the domestic relations law which we must navigate. As for conference procedures such as whether parties or only their attorneys enter the room where the support conference is taking place, that is left solely to the discretion of the domestic relations officer on a case-by-case basis. However, I am truly sorry if you felt disenfranchised from the process by having to wait outside. One of my main goals as a family law attorney is to set proper expectations by educating my clients on how the law applies to their particular circumstances. If I ever failed in that regard, then for that I am truly sorry and will strive to do better in the future.

Amir Stark is the consummate Professional

Mr. Stark is a prime example of what a Professional Criminal Defense attorney should be. My case was an essential "slam dunk" for the prosecution and his guidance and advice lead me to the best possible outcome that I could have received. He was forthcoming with information, returned everyone of my ...calls expediently, and was perfectly balanced when it came to the emotional aspect of handling my case. He walked me through the legal process and gave me likely and unlikely outcomes, allowing for me to intellectually process the information. I am grateful for his professional demeanor and acumen - he will exceed your expectations. I highly recommend Amir Stark for your Criminal Defense needs.
