Excellent Attorney

I interviewed several attorneys prior to choosing Miriam Wolock. I am very pleased with her counsel. She is practical and fair and I wold strongly recommend her to anyone having family legal matters. She was extremely helpful in navigating these troubling waters.

Divorce

Mrs. Wolock was a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail was spectacular. She was available 24/7 and fought hard for my legal rights. She was supportive through the roller coaster of emotions and truly cared about my well being. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommend

Miriam was truly a blessing throughout an inherently difficult and stressful process. Not only did she earn every cent through her hard work and efforts, but I also felt like she genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my situation. It's refreshing to have an opportunity to work with s...omeone like Miriam. I highly recommend her to any potential clients that are considering her services.

Highly Qualified

I had the pleasure and good fortune of meeting Miriam prior to having a legal issue. Not long after, I had an issue and contacted Miriam. Her knowledge and expertise rectified the situation immediately. I would not hesitate to recommend Miriam to any person in need.

Exceptional Counselor

Although going through a divorce is inherently stressful, the expertise that Ms. Wolock brought to the table made navigating the legal and emotional issues smooth and seamless. Ms. Wolock's attention to detail, knowledgeability, calm demeanor, genuine concern, and constant availability are unparalle...led. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone with Family Law needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
