I hired Ilana Tanner based on a recommendation from a friend that I value their opinion and they were very correct on how good Ilana is. I met with her initial at her office and the meeting went well, we primarily communicated via email after that meeting till we went through mediation which she was ...a big help and explained what was realistic and what wasn't in great detail based on her previous experience. While I didn't get everything I was hoping for mediation, I did end up leaving it feeling that I was represented well and my wishes/concerns were addressed adequately. I would highly recommend Ilana and her office to anyone and I plan on using them again when needed.

When confronted with my children placed in CPS custody I was lost for what to do. Ilana gave me excellent direction, which I followed and resulted in my children being returned to me in 7 months and the case was dismissed after only 9 months! She then handled my divorce prceedings and made sure every...thing was handled so I could get on with my new life. I would highly recommend Ilana and her staff. They are carring and passionate people who care about the people they assist. I felt like more than just a client. Ilana helped me get my life back. You would be foolish yo not hire her.

Ilana helped me with my divorce when it started to turn into a messy child custody battle. My vindictive ex husband attempted to make things ugly with false allegations and lies, however, Ilana ended up getting things settled outside of the courtroom and the least expensive way possible. She is strai...ghtforward, does not sugar coat things and since she knows family law so well, she gives realistic expectations. I had a ton of questions in which she always responded lightning fast by email! She will never leave you hanging in the dark about what's going on with your case as she is very good at keeping touch. If it's not her contacting you, it's one of her paralegals who are also great. I recently had another suit filed against me by my "vexatious litigant" of an ex. I wanted to utilize Ilana's services again, however, she was all booked up since she's top notch. When I showed up to my court hearing, Ilana was there representing someone else but took a moment to speak with me. She genuinely cares about her clients. I highly recommend her for family law or civil matters!!!
