Highly recommended

When I was looking for an attorney to help with my divorce paperwork, I was looking for someone that was knowledgeable, responsive to email/phone calls, and had a good personality. I found that Gerald Schwartz fit all of my requirements--he seemed very knowledgeable, was responsive to my emails & pho...ne calls, and was very kind in his interactions with me. Therefore, I highly recommend Gerald Schwartz. I consulted other attorneys, but all the others I spoke to seemed to be lacking in one way or another--typically they were not responsive or they were very curt/impatient with my questions (which is probably the last thing you need when you are going through a divorce or needing any legal help for that matter).
