Aurelija Fitzpatrick

When my mother recently told me her elderly husband had asked her for a divorce, I was very worried for her and what this would mean for her future. I knew the reputation of the Law Offices of Jonathan Merel, and immediately after speaking to him, I knew she was in the best possible hands. I will b...e forever grateful to her team, led by the exceptional Aurelija Fitzpatrick, with the support of Cora Leeuwenburg, as their professionalism, knowledge and compassion were clear from the moment they took my mother’s case. Not only did they immediately put both my mother and I at ease, but they kept us well informed, provided us with extensive information and expert advice that made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer our endless questions and provide thoughtful and comprehensive guidance, making us feel confident that the best decisions were being made on her behalf. My mother’s situation was complicated, as it involved the dissolution of their shared business and many complicated tax related matters, in addition to everything else at issue. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Aurelija and Cora, we were able to successfully navigate the process and receive the best eventual possible outcome. What impressed me as much as their steadfast attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of every situation that arose, was their ability to handle the emotional side of the divorce while also being an effective advocate for her legal rights. Their unwavering patience, care and concern for my mother will be something I am forever grateful for. They not only understood the complexities of her situation, but they provided her with the genuine support she needed to get through this extraordinarily challenging time. Thanks to Jonathan Merel, and the team led by Aurelija Fitzpatrick and supported by Cora Leeuwenburg, my mother was able to feel confident and excited about her life after her divorce, something she had never anticipated and was entirely ill-prepared for. They are truly the best there is, and I cannot express in words how highly I would recommend them to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer. I am now, and will forever be, eternally grateful.

Divorce is an arduous and emotional process. Aurelija was always available to clarify, explain, and answer questions. She has an obvious mastery of the legal issues, and a calm demeanor which was exactly what I needed. When actions from the opposing side were not answered or not handled to her sati...sfaction, Aurejila was professionally tenacious in getting the problems solved. I had total faith in her advice. She is down-to-earth, always made me feel comfortable, and you will see from the start that she is someone you can trust. Don't hesitate to hire Aurejila...she's definitely "the one".

She is kind, honest and to the point. I always felt that final decisions were mine to make. Nothing went to opposing counsel without me seeing it first. Aurelija is very fast responding so i never felt ignored or put on hold. Divorce is not easy for anyone and mine was a “special case of its own” but... Aurelija and team of Johnathan Merel made it much less painful.

I highly recommend Aurelija Fitzpatrick of J. Merel Family Law. She is intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable, and efficient. She is caring and willing to explain things to her clients, but very tough with the opposition. This toughness was important for my difficult divorce case. Aurelija worke...d extremely hard to get a fair settlement for me, and came up with creative solutions to deal with major sticking points in our negotiations. I am so grateful to have worked with Aurelija.
