Roanne Handler

DON'T HIRE ANYONE ELSE! Roanne has been my lawyer for the last 3 years and has been incredible! My divorce was uncontested and finalized within 6 months of filing however, because my ex was abusive, we have had a very messy custody battle complete with social services reviews, custody evaluations, pr...otective orders, and criminal trials. Roanne has been there every step of the way. She is very easy to get into contact with, responds quickly, always returns phone calls within hours, no mater if the office is open or not. She goes through each detail of the case with a fine-toothed comb, collecting/requesting whatever necessary evidence is needed. She has been ahead of the game through my entire divorce/custody battle; filing motions and requests before my ex does and preventing them from blindsiding us. When we file, she has always thoroughly explained what may happen (how the ex's lawyer may respond/file) in response to the filings, and she has been right EVERY time. She is by far the most moral and ethical person I've ever met. When my ex hurt my children and was criminaly charged, she admitted to me that she was not equipped to handle the child abuse portion of the case and helped me to find a lawyer that could. She and the child abuse lawyer currently work together on our custudy case. I have the upmost respect for Roanne because of that. Instead of exploiting the opportunity to collect more money, she admitted she was ill-equipped for that portion (without being asked) and then went above and beyond in helping me find another lawyer to help. Due to her honesty, my children are now safe and doing well. She is extremely knowledgable in family law/custduy/divorce and always realistic. She gives me the facts and never inflates our chances of winning. Roanne will often tell me "Our chances are good, but anything can happen". She has repeatedly told me she'll never promise we'll win because of that. That being said, Roanne has moved mountains to ensure the safety of my children and continues to do so. I have recommended several friends who are in custody battles or are facing divorce to her. They are all equally pleased. Additionally, she is afforadble (I tell her she doesn't charge enough) and easy to work with on a payment plan. I can not speak highly enough of Roanne. She is genuinely a great lawyer, and a great person. Hire her.
