great experience

I was in the middle of a messy divorce and custody battle. I had a previous lawyer drop me as a client when they thought I was out of money. I was refereed to Ms. Apol by a 3rd party. When I met Ms. Apol I was tired, skeptical, and felt beaten down by the whole divorce process. Ms. Apol jumped into i...mmediate action. She told me exactly what she needed from me and what she need me to do. She had worked many cases with my Ex's attorney so that helped a lot too. I understand that this is what lawyers do for a living, and it is their profession, but when dealing with such an important and emotional issue like kids I just wanted a lawyer I felt understood how important the custody issue was for me, and that would "fight" for me. Ms. Apol more then exceeded those expectations. She was very prompt with communication, and a true professional. I highly highly recommend Ms. Apol and her firm for anyone going through a divorce and/or any family court issue. They are amazing.

Excellent attorney!

Mrs. Apol was wonderful to work with, during a not so wonderful time in my life. She was very professional and supportive. She took time to explain everything thoroughly. I always knew what to expect, and how to be prepared. She was also very quick with responses. I would refer anyone who needs an at...torney to Mrs. Apol! I have a feeling that "A", who wrote a review stating the opposite of all the rest was possibly on the other side of the courtroom from Mrs. Apol.

Helpful

Tasnima was very helpful to my case she gave me lots of advice and spent time explaining and going over things with me with just the little bit of notice that I gave her. She jump right in and took control of my case that I did not have to worry about anything anymore.

Pleased with my experience

I was seeking a divorce and Attorney Apol was referred to me through my job's legal plan. I left a message for her and she was prompt in getting back to me. I had heard so many horror stories from other people about their lawyers. However I can say that I found Attorney Apol to be easy to work with... and trustworthy. My case probably didn't make her rich, but I felt that she valued me as a client just as much as anyone else. She was a good listener and we worked as a team. She came up with a great game plan when my ex-husband wasn't cooperating. I found her to be consistently personable, but professional, fair and timely.

Outstanding and Efficient Divorce Lawyer

I was referred to Tasnima through a friend of mine. After doing an initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable with her approach and relieved that she understood my situation and that she was able to help with the least amount of red tape that can occur in a typical divorce. She provided all... of the details up front, and she responded to calls and emails promptly whenever I had questions or concerns throughout the process. Tasnima walked me through all of the paperwork and arranged for a meeting with the Master, who was very down-to-Earth and informal. And Tasnima followed up after the hearing was completed to ensure that I received all of the copies of the documentation and to see if there were any other questions. I would highly recommend Tasnima for anyone with legal need for the assistance of an attorney.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known and collaborated with Tasnima for four years, and she is outstanding among other lawyers for her ethical, intelligent and pragmatic approach to solving client problems. Although she is fully capable as a litigator and trial attorney, I trust that she can be most effective in counseling a client toward a negotiated marital settlement and custody agreement to minimize cost and strife. Since she practices in a distant county I am glad to refer cases to her to serve clients in a cost-effective manner."
