Gloria Eunice Block

My case was mentally and emotionally draining. I watched a system that is not designed for fathers control the life of my son. I was even more devastated in the way his biological mother handled raising/caring for our son and my place in his life. I had never been any way but respectful and support...ive of her since the day our son was born. We went through a Child Rep who took almost (7) seven years to do what he knew he should have done from day 1, while my son suffered mentally and emotionally silently for years. That alone could have destroyed my child. We then went to a Guardian Ad Litem, through Mediation, a Child Therapist, back to Mediation, an Arbitrator, a Judge Mediator and then back to the case judge. 7 Years later, my son is home with me and my wife (who has been an awesome mother figure to him since he was 2 years old and whom he loves dearly). and he is doing very well. This case unfortunately cost him his relationship with his biological mother and has destroyed his faith in the legal system and those that are trained and paid very well to protect the child. I must add that I am working with him through the issues surrounding his mother because no matter how horrible she was to him and to me, nor how she used the legal system to hurt us all for years, it is still important to me for him to have a loving relationship with his biological mother. I give all of the Glory to God and the team of lawyers he blessed me with. Gloria Block and her Assistant Russell Reid have been true life savers for me, my family and especially our son. Attorney Block helped bring clear direction and purpose to our case. She immediately halted all negative personal/legal action by my son's mother and her Attorney that clearly were directed at prolonging the case while bringing more chaos and negativity into play, which ultimately only harmed our son. She personally held everyone accountable from the first day that she agreed to represent us (4) four years into this case. We had our ups and downs through the legal system, but she kept fighting for my son's well being and ultimately directed the fight that gave my son the peace that every child deserves. I now have legal residential custody of my son and I oversee all day to day activities and care. He is now at peace, truly thriving and doing very very well. To not bring direct light to my son and what he has endured, I have to settle on giving a big public "shout out" via the internet to Gloria Block and Russell Reid for being more than our attorneys, but for being a part of our extended family and caring enough to dedicate your legal knowledge for the well being and care of a child who did not deserve what he had endured, but one who now has the direction he needs in life to thrive, uncontrolled and uninhibited while being surrounded in true love, a family that is dedicated to him and being totally blessed with complete support.

I wanted to take a minute and give two big "thumbs up" to Gloria Block and Alan Hoffenberg of Hoffenberg and Block. I don't normally leave online reviews, but in this case, it's well deserved. Gloria and Alan worked tirelessly to help me during a very difficult time in my life and without them I a...m not sure where I would be right now. Thank You!

Ms. Block (and Beth and Russell) are the best out there. I had been represented by two other legal firms before I found her. She kept me informed, listened to my wants and needs. If her advice differed from what I had thought the best course for me and my children, she took the time explain to me ...the reasons why and what the best actions were. My previous representation was always willing to wait and see what was going to happen whereas Ms. Block let me be heard. And in doing this got the best outcome for me and my children. She never talked down to me or made me feel as anything but an equal during the process. I would recommend her to anyone who needs good solid legal representation.

Gloria Block is an excellent lawyer. I highly recommend Gloria for anyone going through the divorce process; I used Gloria while I was going through my divorce and I am so thankful that I did. I could not have gotten through my divorce had it not been for her. I went through a very difficult divor...ce that involved child custody issues and Gloria helped me every step of the way. Gloria still helps me with the various issues that have come up post-divorce. She always promptly responds to all of my emails, phone calls, and questions. I cannot say enough good things about her! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful attorney, which can be very hard to come by.

Ms. Block has represented me in a separation, divorce and child custody dispute that has lasted for more than 10 years. She has done an extraordinary and aggressive job of staying to task in the face of a chaotic series of events, opposing counsel changes, and dysfunctional behavior from the other p...arty. Ms. Block is relentless in her fight to persuade the court and parties involved to continually do the right thing. She has tremendous experience and knowledge of the law, and uses her resources effectively to bring about a positive outcome. She's extrtemely fair, and considerate of her client's financial resources. She's collaborative, matter-of-fact, and realistic - and works closely to keep her client informed and engaged. My children and I will forever be grateful for her expertise and know-how.
