Posted by Jessica | November 27, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Great Custody Lawyer

I have been unable to see my son for a period of almost 5 years. I hired Amar and right from the beginning he was honest about what to expect. Never let me feel like I was asking the impossible but at the same time kept me grounded as to what to expect. I have never had issues getting a hold of him a...nd I am across the country. With our 3 hour time difference he made it a point to even contact me at 10 pm his time to give me time to get off work and be prepared. So glad I chose him and with only 1 court date I am seeing and speaking to my son on a regular basis and he will even get to come home with me this summer. He is not overpriced like a lot of lawyers! Pricing is totally fair for an amazing lawyer!

Great family lawyer

Amar was extremely helpful and truly invested in the positive outcome of my custody/child support case. His expertise in legal matters matches his genuine care about safety and wellbeing of the children involved. Amar is also very knowledgeable in all the ins and outs of the court’s dynamic and reall...y uses every resource to advance the case. Recruiting his legal counsel was the best decision for my family situation.

Posted by Beth | January 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

My Divorce Lawyer

My case has been a bit sensitive due to it being a domestic violence case as well. Amar Weisman has made sure that I understand everything clearly and extremely sensitive to my particular case. Although I could have received a quick end, Amar has assured me that for my best interest I should not hurr...y the case along so that I may receive everything that I deserve. I highly recommend Amar Weisman for any of your family law needs.

Knowing how to stop the beating of a dead horse

Mr. Weisman became our attorney after having two other attorneys that had to drop our case. As you can imagine my desperation as a father wanting to protect my daughter Mr. Weisman agreed to take my case immediately upon hearing the details when I was one year and ten months into this unspeakable hel...lish war that lasted for two years four months. This was a modification of custody case with “high conflict” and two states involved. Mr. Weisman was able to catch up with all the filings and the world wind of events caused by other parties and legal counsels involved in the case. Mr. Weisman handled the oppseing “big time” law firm with a team of attorneys against us with grace, wisdom, creativity and humility. He was also able to work superbly with another attorney in a neighboring state equally equipped as Mr.Weisman. Mr. Weisman’s knowledge of the law and how to navigate through it is recognizable and commendable. He became a warrior knowing precisely when to lift his shield and when to strike with his sword during my unheard of two week trial to which he only used two days to present my case. He has been very attentive to every need and genuinely listens to your concerns even when there is nothing you or he can do. Mr. Weisman being one attorney with a great staff made himself conveniently available anytime his services were needed while also shielding me from the nonsense coming from everywhere. The process of waiting on the court system is stressful and unbearable but when things needed my attention or his, he always communicated them in a timely manor. Mr. Weisman is sincerely receptive to the financial burdens created by what we go through in the courts. Further and just as equally important he was steadfast and focused on a positive ruling that was delivered three months after the trial. I was awarded physical custody of my daughter! Mr. Weisman's six months of maneuvering with the spirit of experience, professionalism, wisdom and ability to think outside the box aided in a victorious verdict. Mr. Weisman comes highly recommended as he will stand with you in your fight. Thank you Mr. Weisman and your staff!

I appreciate this review . Your case involved a long trial and we prevailed even though we were the underdogs.

Divorce Disaster

I hired this lawyer in February for my son. If you want an attorney that communicates and keeps you informed then this is not the attorney for you. Out of 33 phone calls requesting return calls I only got one returned from March 1 - October 10, and only got to speak to the assistant or him on 3 of ...the times I called. Out of 51 emails sent over the months I got 3 responses. My son did not get any letters from June to October updating him on the status of the divorce. Three court dates, finally took place mid October and my son got absolutely nothing in the divorce not even his premarital account. Nice guy and had awesome reviews on this site which the main reason I hired him.
