Jane Gekhman....Our warrior

My family and I were going through an extremely difficult time after the death of our son, Blake. Blake’s two children were removed by CPS from their surviving parent. My husband and I stepped in to keep them from foster care. We care deeply about the children and wanted to do everything possibl...e to ensure their safety and well being. We sought permanent custody of our granddaughter. It was important for us to find the most competent, caring, insightful, knowledgeable legal counsel possible. And, I might add, extraordinarily tough. We found all of these qualities in Jane Gekhman. She addressed all of our concerns in a timely manner. Jane utilized information and resources responsibly to bring closure and a favorable outcome to our case. As a result of Jane’s expertise and diligence, our family can assure our granddaughter that she can have a life of quality, stability, and security. We have deep gratitude for Jane Gekhman . Her work ethic and attention to the “details” of our case proved she is invested in her clients. Our family is eternally grateful. A young girl’s life, our granddaughter, has been impacted POSITIVELY forever. On a side note, Jane did not drain us financially. Her fees were reasonable and she worked conservatively to make sure that the fee she indicated at the outset of us hiring her was where she operated. That indicated to our family Jane’s integrity. We are very pleased with our legal outcome. We know it would not have been possible without Jane Gekhman BTW. There are two children involved. There are two mothers. There will be yet another court case. We continue to rely on Jane to help us navigate the legal issues involved for the second child, our grandson. We have ultimate faith in Jane’s counsel. She has proven to be a sturdy warrior for us, even during this pandemic. She is the ultimate “grace under fire.”

One of a kind !

This was my first case dealing with child custody and I had no experience whatsoever. For my entire case jane always looked out for my best interest. She encouraged me to keep going and always had a positive loving attitude. She stood up for my beliefs and pushed hard to get the results I wanted. Sh...e was more than just a lawyer I knew she really cared about me and my situation. I wasn’t just another case. She’s such a great person and has such a outgoing and straightforward personality. She is awesome and a hard worker !! I will never be in this predicament again but if I was or anyone else I would recommend and bet everything on Jane !

This lady knows her stuff! She was initially assigned to my case by the courts. I didn't think that a court appointed attorney would fight for me and my family, let alone care about the outcome of the proceedings. However, Jane was the total opposite! She was extremely knowledgeable and competent in ...her dealings with DFPS. She took the initiative to make sure that I understood everything that was going on from the very beginning. I disliked having to take the stand, but after talking to Jane and receiving her encouragement I felt like I could take on the world, and did very well with my responses. After DFPS had torn me down and made me really question my ability to parent, Jane reiterated vital progress that I had done, and that made me feel capable! She always looked out for my best interest, and if something didn't feel right, she didn't hesitate to let me know. Jane literally saved my family! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for legal services in her field of expertise!

Amicable divorce with children

I hired Jane for my divorce. She understood that I wished to keep things amicable. She fairly explained my options and rights, specifically related to children and retirement accounts. Communication was as much as I needed, and not excessive. I would not hesitate to recommend Jane to friends.

Tough with personal care

I had a very complicated divorce case involving child custody. Jane has been friendly and personable. But she was thorough, strong and nasty when she needed to fight for my rights . If you are a parent seeking child custody, I highly recommend Jane. My divorce was granted with more than anyone expec...ted.
