Austin Robert Cosby Buerlein

I consulted with Austin to inquire about a divorce and how to approach it without getting taken advantage of. He was knowledgeable on the matter and explained to me clearly the best route forward in laymen terms. He was personable throughout while still maintaining a high standard of professionalism.... It was well worth my time and money to seek out counsel with Austin.

Austin represented me in my divorce and my custody modification cases. I went to him hurt and feeling defeated. My divorce was complicated and I was lost and Austin stepped in, represented me and through his professionalism and constant contact he made me feel I truly had an advocate. He walked me th...rough every step and I honestly felt I had not only an attorney but a good friend looking out for me and my two son’s best interests. We settled the divorce through his hard work and sincere dedication to my case. I had to get his assistance again several years later to modify custody. I chose to go back to him because I knew with his determination and expert knowledge of the system I would prevail with him in my corner. Austin was able to secure custody of my two sons for me. I always felt Austin truly cared about my boys and I and our best interests. He works tirelessly for his clients. He was always there when I needed him. This was 5 years ago and now I am with my two boys and I owe their great success to Austin for his hard work. Austin is now a friend and we consider him a member of our family. I would recommend and request his assistance again in a heartbeat if I needed him. Austin truly cares and will fight for you as his client.

Austin Buerlein is unresponsive, conceited and in the end you pay him for the "privilege" of his "representation". 90% of the work is passed off to an incompetent paralegal who you, as the client, have to constantly correct/chase down and ultimately end up doing the work yourself. I found myself doin...g my regular job and their legal work while paying them for it. During a stressful time such as a divorce you need someone on your side, I did not have that. Not even close. Throughout the process it felt like they were doing me the favor of "representing" me while I paid and did the legal work. They did not stand up for me against oppposing counsel. Opposing counsel ran the entire case while Buerlein/Elovitz were more worried about their social standing with OC than actually helping their client and doing their jobs. In the end, I ended up having half of everything I worked so hard for taken away by an ex who made significantly more money than me. I did all the work, provided all the evidence and money trail of how it should not be considered marital property but my "representation" ignored me and said "I am not going to waste my time on that". When tens of thousands of dollars, and retirement security are at stake, your hired attorney should care. On numerous occassions I was shocked to find Buerlein/Elovitz communicating with OC and my ex without me being included. At the end of the case, Buerlein/Elovitz took a victory lap while I was forced to pay out nearly $100,000 to an ex who makes significantly more and did not need a dime of it. My ex's counsel took charge, Buerlein let them and did not care, didnt want to be bothered to do his job. Years later my ex ridiculed me for my choice of representation as my ex took their own victory lap. You feel like it is you vs your hired representation, Opposing Counsel and your ex when you hire Austin Buerlein and this firm. Stay away, hire a different attorney or represent yourself. This process is not that complicated as these attorneys make it out to be. I know because I did the work myself while paying them.

Great attorney! I worked with several attorneys on and off for the past few years regarding divorce, child support, abuse and custody. Austin was very knowledgeable in completing my case which seemed to have no end until i met him. He's available, always responds and you actually speak to him and not... a thousand different paralegals. He is extremely afordable and he didn't try to financially break me like many lawyers. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Austin!!!!

As shocking as it was to hear I was going to be divorced, it was even more mind-blowing to realize that I actually needed to protect myself. It was new territory that left me confused, disappointed, overwhelmed, and stressed out. And if you happen to be in a similar situation, I strongly recommend hi...ring Austin. He was phenomenal to work with. He walked me through the entire process of what to expect and answered all of my questions. He was so easy to talk to, and I really appreciated his honesty. I left his office feeling much more at ease and prepared for what would occur in the coming weeks.
