Excellent Law Firm

Blacha Law Office LLC was my second firm I obtained. Walking in everyone was welcoming and very nice. I met with Jackie who made me feel comfortable and at ease about my case. Blacha Law Firm showed that they cared about me and my case. I felt it wasn’t about the money for them; they invest a lot of ...time and effort in their clients helping them get the best outcome and solutions. I also worked with Erin who was just as amazing. She knew my case, my child’s name and cared to know how things were going. All in all, this was a way better experience and I would absolutely recommend Blacha Law Firm to anyone who needs a great firm to represent them. I’m so glad I chose this firm and I am so appreciative to everyone there.

Hannah

Meeting Hannah for the first time lifted a huge weight off my shoulder. She made me feel safe and welcome when listening to the issues that I was dealing with. She is very compassionate, patient and caring. She guided me through my divorce process and made sure I got the best of what I need. She even... answered my emails over the weekend. I am very grateful for her effort and dedication to my case. It has been a stressful journey, but Hannah got me though the divorce quickly. I would not have gotten this far without her knowledge and expertise to get this divorce processed in a matter of few months.

Amazing

I switched from another law firm to Blacha law and the difference was night and day. Very professional and kept me up to date. The online tool is also very helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent

I would refer anyone looking for an attorney to Monika hands down. I was taken care of from start to finish. I was guided with the best advice from Monika, Jackie and Tammy. They really kept everything on track and so organized. I felt that they really cared about my case.

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.
