Roland Paul Ernst

I hired him for my divorce. He did virtually nothing to represent me and charged me almost $9K. I negotiated my own deal with my husband, otherwise I could have expected the bare minimum. He would have charged me 15k to do full discovery. My ex is a very high earner and yet I ended up paying my legal... fees. Well, of course Roland knows my ex's attorney very well for many many years. What's worse is that Roland treated me in an absolutely degrading, condescending manner. He came as a recommendation and I so regret taking this person's recommendation. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by someone I hired for any type of service. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!

Roland was the attorney for my 2.5 year review of my divorce decree. My first attorney knew divorce law well, however was not very good with unusual circumstances and understanding financials. Roland was an excellent listener and took the time to understand and empathize with what was important... to me in outcomes. He not only understood the law, but could see the areas where we could negotiate with my ex and her lawyer. He confidently told me what we had control over and what we could influence. He was very good at educating me on the law and preparing me to have realistic expectations for outcomes. In the end, Roland negotiated a deal for me through a very difficult ex and created a financial solution that everyone was willing to accept. The solution was better than what I had expected and still met the needs of my ex. I couldn't recommend Roland any more highly.

Roland Ernst has handled 3 post divorce issues for me. He was recommended to me by 3 different friends who had glowing comments about their experiences. Communication was timely and thorough. Mr. Ernst is an extremely skilled attorney and was instrumental for favorable resolutions to my iss...ues. I always felt that Mr. Ernst explained issues to me in an easy to understand manner. Even though the issues were emotionally charged and financially based, Mr. Ernst kept the process on track to achieve the best possible outcomes. I am so grateful to have used his legal expertise.

I was introduced to Roland through a mutual friend, in 2000, while going through a difficult divorce. He began by dispatching with the ineffective lawyer who'd been mishandling my case. He then applied his knowledge of the law to get me a just and equitable settlement of marital property, and handli...ng of child care and medical expenses, and visitation. He assisted me in thinking my way through difficult decisions that promoted the best outcomes for my very young children. In 2003, when my son was diagnosed with developmental disabilities, he helped me navigate the Due Process procedures with my local school district, who had refused to provide my boy with the appropriate support he needed in the public school system. When I remarried in 2006, Roland wrote my prenuptial agreement, to protect my assets. Shortly after my 2nd marriage, my new husbands ex-wife began threatening us and my children. Roland supported us with an emergency order of protection. In 2010, when the public school district completely failed my son, Roland, again, applied his expertise in assisting our family with the conflict resolution proceedings. The following year, he worked closely with our education advocate, and helped us obtain a private placement in a therapeutic day school, where my son is excelling in ways we never imagined possible. When my ex-husband took me back to court, in 2013 to get his child support reduced, Roland negotiated an agreement that protected my daughter's interests regarding college tuition, books, and living and transportation expenses. Always, Roland's first priority is what is in the best interest of his client. For my family, every endeavor for which we have sought legal advice and action, those interests have been served by his keen legal mind, his ethical application of skill, and his compassionate heart. I would - without reservation - recommend Roland Ernst.
