Excellent attorney

Ms. Taib-Lopez was a part of a legal team I hired to work on a complicated custody case. She was knowledgeable and experienced but was willing to take her time to learn more for my complex case. Her dedication and attention to my concerns were exceptional. She always responded to my communications t...imely and diligently and worked tirelessly on my behalf. She worked late in the evening and at the weekend when it was urgent. Ms. Taib-Lopez has a wonderful balance of care and support while providing strong legal counsel. She is an excellent attorney who is trustworthy with her deep knowledge of law, experience, and excellent strategical thinking. I appreciate Ms. Taib-Lopez’s work greatly.

Outstanding and Excellent Attorney.

I had the pleasure of working with Rama Rama Taib-Lopez on amending a complex child custody and child support agreement. From the very beginning, it was clear that I was in capable hands. Rama's attention to detail is unparalleled; she meticulously examined every aspect of the case, leaving no stone ...unturned. Her deep knowledge of family law, combined with her ability to craft rigorous arguments and build a strong, effective strategy, truly sets her apart. My previous child custody agreement had too many transitions between parents, which were not only disruptive for the children but also choppy and fragmented, with lots of evening transitions. Rama helped build the case slowly but steadily, ensuring every step was purposeful and well-thought-out. After three years of trying to resolve this, she managed to lead us into a situation where my ex finally came to the mediation table and agreed to modify the schedule, making it much less negative for the kids. Rama was always on top of the details of the schedule, its pros and cons, and the potential impacts on the children. She also went above and beyond by bringing in the necessary experts and professionals to provide testimony that strengthened the case. Her ability to assemble a team of experts and leverage their input was invaluable in achieving a positive outcome. One of Rama's greatest strengths is her ability to help you focus on what truly matters. She ensures that you avoid getting dragged into emotional or unhelpful disputes, keeping the process as constructive and goal-oriented as possible. Her advice and guidance were especially valuable in managing communication with my ex, which was extremely difficult after an ugly divorce. Rama doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear; she provides the advice you need to hear, ensuring you are fully informed and prepared for every step of the process. She is also an excellent listener, taking the time to truly understand your concerns and priorities. Additionally, I truly appreciated that Rama never overcharged me or added unnecessary work to increase the bill. Her integrity and fairness, combined with her professionalism and expertise, made the entire process far more manageable. Despite the challenges and intricacies involved, Rama navigated the process with precision, professionalism, and empathy. Her rigor and dedication made all the difference in achieving an outcome that I am genuinely satisfied with. I highly recommend Rama as an attorney for anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and results-driven professional.

Still the best decision 3 years later

I was blindsided with a divorce and left scrabbling to find balance while keeping my life and that of my child in order. Rama, without a doubt was the best choice I made during the most difficult time as I prepared to navigate my new normal. Rama was so attentive, responsive, and supportive. Her emai...ls were prompt and she was always a step ahead of the opposing attorney. Rama took charge of the negotiations and ensured both myself and my child were properly represented throughout the process. There were moments when I was on autopilot, and ready to give up, but Rama motivated me to stay strong and to focus on one task vs being overwhelmed with the entire process. My divorce was finalized 3 years ago and if I had to do it all over again, I would pick Rama EVERY time. Also, the custody agreement she created is phenomenal and has helped maintain a sense of structure and security as my ex and I co-parent. Everyone loves my custody agreement.
