Esther was my life-saver!

Getting a divorce and having a custody battle is a very stressful situation to find yourself in. A friend of mine knew the stress I was going through, and referred me to Esther Panitch. During our initial meeting Esther listened to my concerns and help me come up with the best path. During this ordea...l she was nothing but professional and was always there to answer any questions that should arise. Before the court dates she was always there early to make sure that we were prepared for the day to come. Her integrity was genuine. Although Esther was easy to talk to in the courtroom she was something else. I was thoroughly impressed with her zealous representation. I would never wish what I went through on someone else. However, if you find yourself in this situation I would definitely recommend Esther.

Highly Incompetent Lawyer

I retained Esther Panitch for a simple First Offender case as a result of a bad car accident. I decided to go with her based on recommendations. Just like the other reviews, she doesnt respond to phone calls, doesnt have a clue about the cases and mixes the details up most times, and one instance, sh...e failed to show up in court for my hearing. It was so bad I decided to retain the services of a new lawyer. Ofcourse I never got my money back even though she had been fully paid and the case was clearly unresolved. Once the new lawyer was retained things moved along quicker and ultimately the case was resolved with minimal effort. Today (2 years later) the case has been closed and I have received an order of discharge for my case. I would not recommend her to anyone because she did not act in my interest, did not show any empathy for me and took a very unprofessional and laid back approach to my case.

Replied last November 09, 2015

Dear anonymous reviewer, I do not know who you are but can say I have never had a client with a First Offender "bad accident." The closest I ever came was when a client lied to me about the facts of the case and continued to lie even though she admitted lying the first time. I fired that client years ago. I pride myself on having close relationships with my clients which is why I don't believe you were actually a client of mine at any time. Moreover, I have NEVER (in almost 20 years of practice) simply not showed up for court. It is possible that I had a legal conflict (i.e. another case at the same time with a higher legal priority than yours, according to the Uniform Rules of Superior Court) and the court and you would have been made aware far in advance that the case would have been reset or I would have had another attorney cover for me until I could appear.

Account Manager

Esther has been, not only a great lawyer, but someone who I would consider a friend. She truly cares about you as a person and will do whatever she can to help. Her ability to explain your options and lead you down the right path is second to none, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a lawy...er who will actually take the time to understand YOU and how to best help you in a situation. I hope that I have to NEVER use her again, but if anything happened, there is no one other than her that I would want my defense's hands in.

Made my life easier!

Thankfully, I had an amicable divorce. Esther and her wonderful go to person, Rachel, were very helpful and made my experience very easy. I knew they were there for any questions or concerns I had, and always answered me very quickly. I know had things not been so amicable, they would have been j...ust as awesome! They were very professional and guided me through every step. They couldn't have made this process any easier. I really appreciate the help they gave me.

Positive Outcome

I retained Ester after my consult. I felt that she was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about family law. I was going through a divorce and had many questions and concerns. Each time I communicated it was either via phone or email. I found Ester’s response time to be exceptional and always re...assuring. She and her staff made my very emotional experience less stressful. On my court date Ester arrived way before scheduled so that we could go over key items and reassured me that the end results would be to my satisfaction. Through the entire process I felt like Ester had my best interest. I would highly recommend her and her staff for legal consult.
