Divorce

I highly recommend Ilana in all your divorce/child custody issues. Ilana is a young professional who worked on my case with untiring effort,she stayed on top of my case ,kept me informed of legal proceedings at all times. Ilana replied my emails almost instantly,she is very easy to reach and returned... every call I made to her. Wait,her price? You can't beat that... Thank you Ilana for your great help in such stressful and sometimes heartbreaking moments! You are the best attorney,ever!

Let me tell you why you need to hire Ilana.

Ilana's title is " Lets get through this together" and as a long standing client of hers, I must emphasize the fact that she lives up to that statement. I have been in a 2 year long custody dispute that has had some really strange things happen and Ilana has been present for almost a year of that... case. Ilana was not only professional but extremely dedicated to me, my case and my family. In fact, Ilana gave my daughter a little red stuffed bird to help my daughter get through all this. As a lawyer, Ilana is very clear and honest, even when I didn't want to hear what she had to say, so be ready (and grateful) for that. Since she is representing you, she will tell you exactly what you are doing wrong and why. She will also help enforce what you are doing right and she teach you how to handle the case even after it is over. If your case hits a road block she can't see a way through, she will spend hours trying to find a person, company or even a personal friend who can see how to navigate in the situation. I have had 2 other lawyers on this case before I met her, and both them were adequate, but Ilana went above and beyond. I am partially biased since I spent almost an entire year working on things with her, but I can say from a client's stand point that she is the type of lawyer you want. You want someone who shows you your mistakes... so that you don't keep making them in the long run. You want someone who shows you how to work with the results of your case after you have left the court room. You want someone who sees you as a person, family and individual so they can represent you properly. You want someone who explains things to you, no matter how many times you need it repeated, so that you don't feel intimidated with the legal system. You also want someone who is going to cut right to the heart of the matter and get it done . This is important both financially and emotionally... no matter what your situation is. The legal system is emotionally taxing and the sooner it is solved the better off you will be. It's also important for your finances. Legal issues are expensive, that fact is unavoidable. Ilana will not beat around the bush with your issues causing you to lose your deposit in mistakes or unnecessary legal steps that never solve the problem at hand. She keeps you informed, asks your ideas on things and is completely transparent... she explains why you need to take the steps you do in order to finish your case. I have never encountered a lawyer who was like that. I am still completely satisfied by the service I got from her. I wish her all the best . My family loves her and my daughter still hangs tight to the little red bird. Thank you Ilana.

Child Custody

Ilana was very professional and pleasant to work with. Although she received our case after it has already begun, she worked hard to always provide feedback on my case. As our case transitioned from a child protective services case to a child custody case, Ilana explained the expectations and results... from each hearing and ultimately helped me to win custody of my 10 year old son. What has most impressed me is that although she is no longer being paid for her services, she checked on my family's progress in our situation. As we look towards the future with having my son in my home, I would not hesitate to employ Ilana if additional issues arise.

Modification/Child Support

I was referred to Ilana by an attorney friend of mine after being served by my former spouse wanting to modify our existing orders. After reaching out to Ilana she was quick to get back to me. She was extremely accommodating in working with my hectic schedule. Ilana was extremely affordable. After ...our initial meeting I felt a strong sense of calmness with what I was facing. Ilana went above and beyond to explain the process to me. In dealing with my former spouse and her attorney she took care of everything. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable about family law. My experience with other attorneys has been subpar to the experience that I had with Ilana. She was extremely quick in returning my phone calls on the few occasions that I had to reach out to her. I would gladly recommend her services to "anyone" needing legal representation.
