Smart and Compassionate

Aileen served as co counsel to my case. She was smart, compassionate and on point with issues and likely outcomes. Her legal work was outstanding both in terms of framing the issues and persuasive writing. In the worst of life's circumstances she was a wonderful person to have on the team.

Highest recommendation

It was a pleasure working with Aileen. She is talented, professional, and has incredible knowledge of the divorce process. More importantly, she understood the emotional and psychological aspect of divorce and provided me with much needed guidance and confidence. The office staff was also always p...rofessional and friendly.

Posted by Susan | September 22, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Divorce

Divorce is a very emotional process and even more so when children are involved. That said, choosing an attorney is a very personal decision. I feel very fortunate to have had Aileen as my attorney. At the very beginning, overwhelmed with foreclosure, IRS liens, my children and an unresponsive spo...use, Aileen helped me face my circumstances and one by one, make difficult, well informed decisions. Along the journey she was honest and compassionate. She was iron hard when I couldn’t be and understanding through out. The fact I’m finally divorced is a testament to her considerable abilities as an attorney and a person.
