Grateful for her help!

While I was devastated to be in a situation that required her services, Miriam Wolock was an answer to a prayer! Her professionalism was only topped by her knowledge and expertise in Family Law. If you need a champion in your corner, look no further than Ms. Wolock. She had my back through the man...y and constant changes arising with my case and I was completely confident with her advice and in her care. I switched to Ms. Wolock over half way through the divorce process - as my case became more complicated and her more comprehensive services were required. She worked tirelessly and voraciously to get my case up to speed and took into account the various aspects of my situation. Her ability to foresee and preempt challenges was priceless. Even with her taking on my case late in the game, she swiftly and strategically managed to negotiate a sound settlement that gave me security for me and my children too. The costs of having her prepare and draft my judgment were invaluable - as her attention to detail ensured that my and my childrens' interests were provided for and protected. In drafting my Judgment, she made sure all the details were fair and of benefit to me. She also made sure there were safe guards in place and spelled out ...should future challenges in my situation arise. She is professional, intelligent, versatile, knowledgable, detail-oriented and efficient. If you want a true winner that will "go to bat for you" look no further than Miriam Wolock!

Divorce

Miriam Wolock was a pleasure to work with and was extremely helpful in navigating the divorce process. She paid close attention to details and was insightful in how to handle a very emotional situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone with family legal matters.

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.

A Peacemaker . . .

This is a review I wish I didn't have to write. At the end of a 25 year marriage, Miriam was recommended to me. What a wonderful person and professional. While she made sure my interests were protected, she worked towards a fair and reasonable settlement without confrontation or a protracted divor...ce process. She is incredibly detailed and made a painful event as "easy" as possible. In the end, my ex commented that we could have shared Miriam as our attorney. If you are still reading this, I hope and pray you find a way to keep your marriage together. However, if you do find yourself in need of a divorce attorney, then look no further than Miriam. Miriam exemplifies a profound Abraham Lincoln quote, "Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser - in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good [wo]man. There will still be business enough."
