Metody A Tilev

My divorce case was complicated by a volatile ex and her nasty lawyer. Metody was a great strategist throughout the case, keeping us focused on the important issue (the children) and not stooping to their nasty level of dirty tricks. He was savvy, experienced, and calming. His advice was very good, h...is demeanor was consistently professional, and the outcome was great for my case.

Metody handled my case twice: first, to write a separation agreement, then some time later to write an amendment to it and to finalize the divorce. As years go by and new situations with an ex arise, I understand more and more that Metody did an excellent job protecting me. Metody was and is a ...very knowledgeable experienced lawyer. What he shared with me during waiting times in court or during mediation still rings in my years. I now wish I listened to him more. He never made a mistake in billing. He was gracious and reasonable in making retainer agreements. His legal assistants were upbeat, very sociable and quick, a joy to talk to during hard times. We had a communication problem by the end of the case - my preferred style was to write to him, and he wanted to talk about the situation rather than read my e-mails. But then, during that stressful time it was hard to focus. Metody’s legal help was invaluable.

My divorce was complicated because my former spouse is in another state and did not participate in any of the proceeding. I had many questions (especially around custody and child support). Metody was extremely helpful in answering my questions, often explaining several scenarios/options that I could... pursue and the benefit or risk of each option. The process took quite a but longer than I had anticipated, but Metody worked through some of the difficulties that arose with determination and what I believe were with my best interests in mind.

Metody Tilev is an incredibly knowledgeable, experienced attorney who helped me through a separation, a divorce and a domestic violence incident. He always took the time to explain all the legal steps that were necessary and also those he didn't think I needed to bother with. Most importantly _ espec...ially at the beginning _ he was the only lawyer I interviewed who took the time to actually listen to my situation before he recommended a plan of action. He usually took copious notes throughout our meetings and he always reviewed everything he heard to make sure he had all his facts straight before he outlined the next steps. I found Mr. Tilev to be very responsive to all my questions and concerns throughout my case while balancing my need to keep his time and my costs down. I also found Mr. Tilev to be appropriately aggressive (in terms of the case) when he needed to be and compassionate other times. He just knew how to strike exactly the right balance for every machination of my case. Looking back on the whole process, I see now that he took steps to protect me from potential pitfalls that I could not envision happening myself. That's the mark of an excellent attorney, who is looking out for his client's best interests, not just till the end of the case, but over the long-term. I highly recommend Mr. Tilev (and have already recommended him to many of my friends) for any of your litigation needs, especially separation and divorce. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Tilev in the future.

I had a very difficult child custody case/separation where the other parent fought EVERYTHING. Metody quickly understood my personality and worked well with me. He was blunt and to the point, which I found to be a good thing. I also appreciated the fact that he understood my dire financial situation ...and did not waste my money on extraneous unnecessary things. Overall, Metody was an honorable man who helped me gain full legal and physical custody of my child .
