Review Jeffrey Abood

Jeffrey Abood - Abood Law Firm

Posted by

I highly recommend Jeffrey Abood and the Abood Law firm for anyone who finds him/herself in the unfortunate position of divorce. Mr. Abood goes above and beyond his duties as a lawyer to guarantee his clients receive the best representation possible. He is professional, diligent, prompt, and his attention to detail is unmatched. Jeffrey worked hard to guarantee that I would be treated fairly; his entire team fought hard for me and I was awarded joint, legal custody of my children in a system that tends to favor mothers. His entire team epitomizes excellence; I never had to worry about tardiness with court appearances, mediator meetings, or the filing of paperwork because he was always on time. We were in constant communication about what was happening, each step of the way, which helped to ease my mind some. In addition, I felt comfortable because he took his time and was thorough with guiding me through the whole process of divorce. They handled matters with compassion and sensitivity to minimize the impact of divorce on me and my family. All in all, Mr. Abood and Associates have the skill, knowledge, experience, drive, and determination needed to ensure the full protection of your legal rights. They certainly did so with mine.
