Threatened child abduction with a plan, custody and support

Alicia is a very professional attorney who is quick on her feet, savvy and ahead of the game. Alicia puts 200% into her cases. She gives you the time and answers that you need promptly. She's on point and creative. Alicia doesn't give up and will take on any challenge. Alicia represented me for 5 lon...g months for a very difficult and unique situation. Alicia was on top of every detail, never missed a beat and made sure my son and I were protected throughout the entire process. My son is now in my primary custody, home safe and I'm free from abuse. I'm now receiving support for my son who deserves to have the quality of life he should. Alicia was there through my worst nightmare and represented me throughout the whole legal process. While her costs and the group she represents may be costly, don't think twice about it. Go for it because she is worth every penny. She will run circles around the other attorneys. The defending attorney had many more years of experience and a track of success but Alicia brought it to the table. I'm forever thankful for Alicia's support and will always know who to turn to when my ex starts up again. Alicia handles emergencies very promptly and works extra to ensure your safety throughout the process. She's very quick to respond via email and very throrough in her responses. She definitely has patience to sit through my entire nightmare of threatened abduction with a plan, the fight for custody, fight for support and working through rude remarks from the defending attorney who was very aggressive. I'm really impressed. Thanks again, Alicia. You're a true gem and your team is very lucky to have you. -NG

Custody

Alicia Fastman has been my lawyer for about 4 years in my custody/support case. We have worked closely together over the years and Alicia has always made it a priority to understand everything there is to know about my situation. Over the years through many emails, calls, meetings and tears Alici...a has been there for me and we have formed a great relationship. Alicia has always been completely professional during our conversations, with opposing counsel and our court appearances. With a keen understanding of what I want, need and deserve Alicia has fought and won for everything I have wanted for my child and I. Alicia is persistent and makes sure that my voice is heard. I have complete faith in the decisions her and I make together and trust her completely to be my voice in the court room. In tough situations I have relied on her to not only be my lawyer but to also be my voice of reason. Alicia is dependable and has superb communication skills and is a highly competent attorney. Alicia has helped me understand the law and what I am entitled to and what the other party is also entitled to. Alicia has always been levelheaded and has been a tremendous support system in my situation. I highly recommend Alicia for anyone going through family court issues. Alicia Fastman truly is a remarkable Lawyer.

Very impressed.

Alicia handled settling my child support case after Domestic Relations failed as a reliable collections resource. She was adamant about making sure all of my expectations were met while also making sure to supply me with the full extent of information about my case so I would be able to make the bes...t decisions possible regarding my settlement. I was especially impressed with her extensive knowledge about the area judges and opposing counsel. Alicia made herself readily available to me and always got back to me by latest within the next business day, and never took the long route around a situation in order to rack up more billable hours, as I had become accustomed to with other legal counsel. She was extremely professional and quite intimidating to the opposing counsel, and I felt very secure with her representation.
