In a divorce, you need advocates. Advocates that are willing to listen, empathize with your situation and quickly ascertain what rights and entitlements one has.
I was fortunate enough to be paired with Arkady Reifman. From our first meeting, I felt Arkady was the right person that I was lookin for. He helped me not jus like a professional, but like a real human being. I recommend Arkady Reiman to people I know and I will do it inn the future. Thank You Arkady.
Arkady is an excellent attorney. He took my complex divorce case and handled it with compassion and pure professonslism. The result was far better then I had expected. Arkady handled my case effectively and made the process as painless as it could have been. I am very grateful for Arkadys dedication and the amazing results that he obtained for me.

Highly Reccomended
Arkady handled my divorce case. He has done a great job understanding my needs and was able to prepare a divorce contract that covered the detailed scenarios for what was needed. As a result, my divorce process was less painful than it could have been otherwise. Arkady has an in-depth family law knowledge and many years of experience in the field. He took his time to explain every detail of the divorce process to me and to prepare me for court hearings. He was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns throughout the process. I would recommend Arkady to my family and friends as a great "go to" family law attorney.

Definitely recommend!
Arkady handled my divorce case several years ago and I would, and have, recommended him to my friends and family. I hired Arkady after another attorney has botched my case. Not only was Arkady professional and knowledgeable, he took the time to listen and explain every step of the process to me. I am thankful to him to this day, as he was able to win a hard battle for me and my son. An excellent, seasoned attorney who really takes his time to listen. Thank you so much!! would recommend in a heartbeat!

Unprofessional! Stay away!
Stay away from him! He was recommended to me by a friend and I was hesitating between him and another attorney. He seemed very professional until he got paid (the whole amount) and then he is hard to reach, doesn't pick up the phone, doesn't call back etc. Anyone else could've been better than Arkady Reifman. It took him 8 months to finalize my very simple divorce case which was supposed to be done within 3 weeks according to what he has said. He kept lying about the court dates and postponing them for many reasons and after all it turned out that he had never filed my case. After several emails, voicemails and text messages I finally got my date and got divorced. Of course to receive the judgement from Arkady took me another 2 weeks. If you need a divorce attorney find someone else! He's the worst possible choice! Zero stars would've been more accurate.

Dreadfully unprofessional
Very disappointed and frustrated. Arkady Reifman deal with me like I’m most insignificant and unimportant person and he is doing me a favor by taking my case… To get any questions answered I had to call or email multiple times. He is most unconsidered and unprofessional lawyer I have ever met. My very simple divorce took 1,5 month longer than it was required for no reason except “just because” and it cost me 40% more than advertise.

Worst attorney
If you want waste your money hire Arkadiy.
Paid $5000 for my divorce case and never actually saw him face to face.
Did not represented me in front of the judge, instead sent his assistant Andrea Heckman.
Because of Arkadiy and Andrea from Arkady Reifman law office I ended up with court order to bringing my 6 month old child every weekend to Michigan for visitation. My child has to seat in a car seat 4 hours. My child has a reflux and long drives makes it worse. My pediatrician does not suggest her to drive longer then 1 hour.
They didn't protected my child's interest. All they did just took $5000.
Neither Arkady or Andrea tried to help me. Didn't even advised that we can file protest. Arkadiy advised that my case is not bad as I think.
I guess it is good for my child to drive 8 hours in a car seat during one weekend.
I had to hire new attorney to fix the mess Arkady did to my case and protect my child's interests.
Please stay away from his law firm.
