Compassionate, experienced attorney

Tamar brings her extensive experience and knowledge together with a kind, compassionate, respectful and responsive approach to handling my divorce. She answers my questions, advocates for me and gives me the support and confidence I need to get through an incredibly painful and stressful process. I... highly recommend her to anyone looking for a family law attorney who demonstrates professionalism as well as understanding.

A great attorney at convenient location

Divorce is an emotional topic especially when young children are involved. But excellent and easily understood legal advice is very important at a time like this. Having a good lawyer who can explain your options in a common sense approach is paramount at a time like this. Tamar has the experienc...e to let you know how realistic your expectations or demands are. One of the best attributes she has is she listens to what your objectives are and relentlessly works to help you achieve them. Her extensive experience with divorce and child support allows her to give expert opinions on how best to maintain the welfare of the children and achieve workable solutions during a tough and emotional time. I highly recommend Tamar. She is the only attorney I have ever used in the last 25 years that I would recommend and want to use again. John

Highly Recommended!

I rarely give out 5 stars but I found no category to give less. I was in the middle of a custody case and was very unsatisfied with previous lawyers responsiveness, professionalism, and I did not even know what our strategy would be. So I decided to seek new counsel. From our first conversation, I kn...ew that I felt comfortable with Tamar as my lawyer. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and did not pressure me to make the change. I am glad that I did. Not just because we won the case, but because she went above and beyond what I feel any ordinary attorney would in the rating categories on here. Trustworthy because she gave it to me straight and explained both sides of the situation. Responsiveness because she would answer my emails and calls within a reasonable time frame no matter what time of day or night. Knowledgeable because we came up with a good plan of action and I was well prepared for trial. Kept me informed because she sent me weekly updates and let me know what was going on before having to ask. My overall rating should be more than 5 stars because I felt like Tamar had a personal interest in my case. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and highly recommend Tamar's excellent legal services.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jul 11

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I usually wouldn’t respond to a review of another attorney, but the review posted by Ms. Faulhaber’s client on July 9th is inaccurate. I was opposing counsel and not privy to any of their communication; however, I did attend the mediation session in question. Ms. Faulhaber was a zealous advocate for a difficult client. The mediation was initially postponed because of a jury trial in another county. We couldn’t reschedule because Jeff chose to leave the country. The case came very close to settlement several times, but no settlement was reached because he refused to pay any reasonable amount of child support. At mediation, a 50/50 schedule was proposed, but no agreement could be reached on child support. What Jeff omitted was the $1M+ of the marital estate squandered on day-trading or the multiple affairs which ultimately caused the separation. Finally, his decision to fire his counsel resulted in the unfavorable ruling. Ms. Faulhaber’s client was the architect of his own demise."
