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.

I highly recommend Sylvia Pociask

I definitely recommend Sylvia Pociask if you are looking for a divorce lawyer. She is very professional and straight forward. She is very knowledgeable about family law and has a great calming sense about her. If you're going through a divorce chances are you need someone that can keep you calm t...hroughout the process. I was very fortunate to have Sylvia on my side.

Jackpot!

I hired a law firm, where Miss Pociask was employed, to represent me in my divorce, Lucky me, I wound up with her as my attorney! During the course of my case, Miss Pociask left that firm, and she formed a firm with another attorney. I chose to follow her to her new firm. Miss Pociask is compassionat...e, smart and tenacious! I felt entirely at ease with her, and she kept me up-to-date on proceedings via timely emails and phone conversations. My divorce was difficult and protracted. During the "rollercoaster ride," Miss Pociask was very caring and supportive. I truly cannot say enough good things about her! I, 100%, would hire her again to represent me. I not only hit the jackpot when I connected with Miss Pociask, I also found a new friend.

Very Nice Job

Divorce is never easy. Sylvia does a great job patiently explaining and is very good to work with. I was very comfortable and she is very professional.

Professional, smart and moral family attorney

Ms. Pociask was my attorney for a heated family law case. In the face of some deceptive and (attempted) bullying actions by a seasoned, but morally defunct opposing counsel, Ms. Pociask remained steadfastly patient and professional, steering me through the emotional minefield. Her professionalism was... evidenced in her demeanour and in all correspondence, to me, to opposing counsel, and to other participants. On the trial date, she was exceptionally well-prepared, knowing every nuance of my case. Indeed, as opposing counsel realized that she was ready and able to strongly rebuff every insane accusation with fact, they quickly settled. She countered the blustering intimidation tactics of the older opponent with her sharp intellectual acumen, logic, and quick mind. Her professionalism, diligence to her craft ,and legal rigor won the day. Most significant of all, however, was her personal ethos advising that we "do the right thing." I have nothing but superlatives for Ms. Pociask and, if the unfortunate situation arose where she was again needed, would hire her without reservation.
