Stephen A. Drazin

A divorce lawyer is not a miracle worker. By the time you see him, you have to treat your marriage as a financial and legal problem, not an emotional one. Leave your spouse bashing behind and let him extricate you from your nightmare as best he can. Give him facts, all the detailed documentation you ...can and answer his questions completely, honestly and accurately. He will review the information you present and will do what he can to obtain information you may not have. To get information like bank records is expensive. You have to pay banks a fee to obtain records and he, of course, passes that on to you. You will pay for photocopying, postage, subpoenas, his time, his assistants' time and other necessary costs to get your divorce effectuated. My experience with the Drazin Law Center was that my costs were reasonable. He and his staff knew my case inside and out and did a splendid job in my estimation. My emails, phone calls and requests for consultations were addressed promptly and given the attention they required. Know that you are paying a professional many dollars per minute for his time and paying him thousands of dollars is not easy. Do you do that and win your case, or hire a cut-rate firm and lose? In all disputes, you need to know your position and know how much you should compromise. I did not expect to get awarded every demand in my complaint -- if you have such expectations and come up short, don't blame your attorney. Mr Drazin prepared my case well. Communicate to him what you feel is important. Be clear on your chances of winning your demands. Ask him for his honest estimation of your chances. If you have a nagging question about your case, ask him early on. You are paying him for his experience and abiltiy to judge human nature -- which he does quite well. Let him work for you. I sat in court with Mr Drazin and one of his colleagues. He was very well prepared, deliberate, confident and quick on his feet when some rulings did not go our way. As his client, you hire him to obtain an objective. In my case, that was a divorce, He succeeded in that assignment. I was quite pleased with his performance and had him prepare my will, power of attorney and other matters. I would hire him for other matters should the need arise.

I have worked with Mr. Drazin for the past year and a half and have been very pleased with his work on my behalf. I have recommended several of my friends to him and will continue to do so. Their experiences were all positive as he worked effectively on their behalf as well. He has handled my divo...rce, will, and power of attorney. He has been honest, direct, realistic about my situations and has not tried to just accomodate what I was asking for. I trusted his advice and guidance and will continue to do so in the future.

I started using Drazin 10 years ago for my divorce and have since used him for multiple other services, will, power of attorney, etc. I have also recommended him to my family and friends for various services and he has been the best lawyer I have ever met. With my most recent legal need I emailed him... on a Tuesday morning, had an appoinment by 3 pm that afternoon and had the completed documents in my hands by Thursday morning. I have never had such an attentive and supportive attorney. He worked with me on his fees and I found his cost to be much more consumer friendly then other attorney's. In addition my son wanted to do an adult adoption several months ago. Drazin worked with him on what he could afford based on him being a college student with limited funds. He was supportive and quickly responded to all of my sons needs. I cannot imagine using any other attorney and based on my 10 years of working with him I cannot imagine why anyone would use a different attorney.
