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!

Responsive and considerate; an all around great attorney.

Ilana Tanner is a smart, conscientious attorney who takes the time to get to know her clients. She represented my daughter in a CPS case which was very stressful for our entire family but her balanced objectivity and sincere interest in the well being of my daughter helped us get through this very di...fficult time successfully. I would highly recommend her.

Compassionate and Informative!!!

Ilana is very compassionate in helping others. She not only helped with my case, but my sister's as well. We are more than pleased and couldn't be happier with the service she provided us. Ilana was extremely informative in letting us know what was going on every step of the way. I wouldn't suggest a...nyone else when it comes to Family Law. Thank you again!!!!

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.

Amazing & Hard-Working!!

I had been trying to get divorced for the past 4 years, but since my ex was ‘absent’ in the state of Texas, I had to go through a lot of extra steps to try and finalize everything. A friend of mine recommended that I use Ms. Tanner, but she was working for Ms. Brown at the time. I hired Ms. Bro...wn and she started off doing an ok job. Long story, short, she never kept me in the loop with anything and I showed up for court and Ms. Brown DID NOT! She forgot to mention to me that she had ‘found’ my ex-husband and was working on trying to get him to the courts. She was awful!!! I then fired Ms. Brown and hired Ms. Tanner! From day one, she was amazing! She answered any and all of the questions that I had. She helped me mentally and emotionally get through my divorce! She continued to keep me updated if anything at all was happening. I couldn’t ask for a better person to help me! If you ever need an amazing lawyer, go with Ilana Tanner!
