Extremely pleased and would recommend

A friend found Mr. Kuhn's firm for me when I was having issues with my ex-husband and our parenting plan. Mr. Kuhn listened to what I had to say, understood when I broke down and helped me through this entire process. He worked with me every step of the way, he was kind and diligent throughout the 2+...yrs this took to get resolved. He was quick to return my calls or emails and answer any questions or concerns I had. I would recommend Mr. Kuhn's services to anyone.

FAR Exceeded My Expectations

Mr. Kuhn's service, attention and knowledge far, far exceeded my expectations. He was referred to me for help with my divorce, and made what could have been a horrific process extremely tolerable and as low-stress as possible. He explained everything in extreme detail and made sure I was comfortable ...with and understood every step in the process. Mr. Kuhn was kind to explain what things could be done ourselves instead of through him in order to save money, and charged an extremely reasonable retainer for all of the time and attention I received. In fact, I received a partial refund once the divorce was final for unused retainer hours -- that truly left an impression on me and spoke to the honesty of his entire team. The divorce process went surprisingly smoothly, and I truly believe it was because of Mr. Kuhn. He helped me understand how to communicate with my spouse in order to make myself and my intentions understood, and made the entire process as genuinely peaceful as something this traumatic could be. I am thankful for his guidance and highly, highly recommend him.

Irwin Kuhn

Irwin Kuhn is a talented attorney and mediator. He is a careful listener, and an excellent writer who is able to convey your ruminations, concerns, and suffering into precise legal language that gets the job done. Not only is his writing succinct, but he is an excellent verbal communicator, both in ...and out of the courtroom. He collaborates well, will always try to mediate, but also knows when to take it to court. Irwin is well-respected, and for a good reason. His affable nature, and easygoing manners might fool you into thinking he’s a softie, but his pen is a sword for justice. He doesn’t mince words. People don’t seek legal recourse unless it is urgent and compelling. When people turn to a family law attorney, they are seeking help from the very core of their being. He has helped me win my my post-divorce matter. Everything that I needed to get done, happened with Irwin Kuhn at the helm. I will always be grateful to him.

He made everything better.

Mr. Kuhn was very detailed in asking questions, giving feedback and information regarding my situation. He was very supportive along the way and I cannot thank him and his staff enough for making me feel comfortable and secure in this matter. I will always be grateful to Mr. Kuhn and his calm and pro...fessional manner. Thank you, Mr. Kuhn for giving me back my life!
