Very Impressed

Marvin represented our daughter in her divorce case. We were anxious and worried about the process, as no one in our family has gone through a divorce before. Marvin handled our daughter’s case with ease and compassion. He took the time to explain the process step by step to us and our daughter. ...We went to court on the trial dates to watch the trial and we were thoroughly impressed with Marvin’s skills in the courtroom. He advocated zealously for our daughter and obtained a very satisfactory outcome. We could not have been more impressed. We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

All around fantastic attorney

I worked with Mr. Mendez from May/2015 - October/2016 on my divorce. He was understanding and compassionate through the entire process, while guiding me through the difficult decisions that needed to be made. He was always available via email or phone call. Mr. Mendez was also extremely patient, a...s I would make decisions and then often reconsider my position. He was always up to date with the latest law changes and explained how they could have an impact on my decisions moving forward. He took his time to explain things to me in language I could understand, and supported my choices, while cautioning me on the implications. He kept me in the loop and sent copies of all correspondence between himself and opposing counsel. I trusted Mr. Mendez through the entire process and am grateful for his guidance, compassion, and knowledge. I felt fully supported through this very difficult process and would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Absolutely the BEST!

Without Marvin as my attorney, I would still be in the same place I was with my old lawyer when I started my divorce 3 years ago. Marvin has made huge progress in my case. We have been to trial multiple times over custody, child support, business assets etc and each time Marvin has prepared and rese...arched thoroughly, fought hard and stood behind me and the law to come out triumphant every time. Not only is Marvin knowledgeable but he is trustworthy, he has integrity and he has treated me like a VIP during an embattled and COMPLICATED divorce case involving business assets, custody, guardian at litems, orders of protection, child support, taxes, etc. I would recommend Marvin to anyone and everyone I know. He's not only an amazing human being, he's an amazing attorney.

Thanks so much for everything Marvin!

Marvin, a big THANK YOU again for your services. You have handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. Your efforts to reach a prompt and fair settlement with other lawyer had a positive effect on me and for my children too. Also, I thank you for being a "friend" through it all ...during this painful process. You gave me more than just good legal assistance. I appreciate your expertise, poise and patience. With your straightforward tact and sympathetic understanding, you were able to ease my "scares" and concerns and helped to guide me through confusing and difficult problems. Now I am very pleased as well as relived. You`re a great lawyer. Sincerely, Val S.
