Barbara J Ziv

Barbara practices family law and by her expertise, experience, advice, actions, counseling and guidance eventually becomes "family" to you, the client. I went through a four year saga of divorce and two custody trials, winning full custody last month. Her tenacity ensured that I kept my head straig...ht, acting legally and logically versus emotionally. Her attention to detail drove me to do the same, which practically ensured us a victory in court. What really sold me is that she told me, many months into this that she'd been through a divorce herself. She assured me and keeps reminding me that life will get better. It has. This is the one of the few times in life that you absolutely must have the best on your side, and that's simply what defines Barbara.

From my very first consultation with Ms. Ziv, her approach was very compassionate. I've always appreciated her ability to make me feel at ease and informed during each step of the process. She is an advocate for those she represents and remains focused on assuring that children's wellbeing is top pr...iority. It was truly valuable to have her representation during a difficult time and I will always appreciate her efforts.

Couldn't ask for better or more. I was referred to Ms. Ziv by a family member that got outstanding services and I was told I could expect the same. My relative didn't lie and Ms. Ziv didn't disappoint. Things can sometimes move fast in the legal process if you don't understand what's going on but Ms.... Ziv keep me up to speed the entire way. I refer her any chance I get..

I met Barbara in 1991 when going through my first divorce. We were both pretty young but after firing my first, very experienced lawyer, I loved how she was totally in my corner. From first filing through settlement took about 6 years. We got to know each other very well. She taught me to pick my bat...tles. Don't let the fight cost more than the rewards. She is smart and gives you her all. Unfortunately, I went through another divorce in 2004. This one was amicable and Barbara handled the entire thing, for both parties. She is fair, honest and smart. She is loyal, discreet and trustworthy. And she gets results.
