Honest, Smart, a true advocate

I’ve had several lousy lawyers and I assure you I was about to give up until I found her. Sylvia is very knowledgable, creative and she works hard. Unlike the others I had, she was truly my advocate and helped me through and through. Honesty is very important - Sylvia was very timely, communicative a...nd was a huge help for my case. Sylvia has exceeded all my expectations and more. Thank you for all your hard work Sylvia.

So thankful for Sylvia! I highly recommend her.

I feel so lucky to have had Sylvia as my lawyer for my divorce. She was very patient the whole time, as some of my information was difficult for me to obtain. This was a marriage with someone from another country, and she handled the entire case smoothly. Divorce is difficult and she took a lot of pa...in off my shoulders by making every part of the process clear and as easy as she could. She was so friendly and I felt very comfortable the whole time.

So grateful to have found Ms. Pociask, a professional and truly caring attorney.

Sylvia Pociask helped us through a difficult time. She was endlessly patient and compassionate, but also gave us the facts without pulling punches. Our outcome was better than we expected. We never felt she was padding our bill--quite the contrary. Her bill was extremely reasonable. We have the ...highest regard for her, and we highly recommend her services.

Help through a most difficult time in my life

Divorce is one of the hardest times in your life. You need someone who understands the law and understands you and the circumstances you are going through. Sylvia took the time to go through step by step with me, clearly explaining the process and my options. She worked hard with me to help me make ...the right choices and kept me from making any choices that would not be best for me and my family. There was no attempt to run up my bill and she did what I asked, she did not push a different agenda. In the end she got a settlement resolved, there was no need to fight over things in a court in front of a judge. I always felt she had my back and my interest in mind. Professional, and humane, these are good traits in someone you have to trust will be on your side. Sylvia has those traits.

Fair, honest, and Integrity

Sylvia took over my case from another attorney and did a great job of stepping in a very challenging situation to wrap up what was a very high-conflict divorce. Sylvia always listened and was honest with her concerns in a positive way to help look at the big picture. As a result of my comfort with ...Sylvia I hired a second time for the second part of my case which was in regards to a alimony modification. Sylvia once again listened to my needs and we worked together to resolve the second case in a very efficient manner. Sylvia has great bedside manner which is what I needed due to how bizarre my divorce and modification was. I am extremely happy with my outcome and more important feel that my new life is better than ever. Thank you Sylvia.
