Highly Recommended- Child support and custody modification for adult disabled child

An attorney friend recommended Ilana to me after my ex sued me to reduce both his custody and child support for our adult daughter with a significant disability. Within minutes of our meeting, Ilana shared a personal story about her close relationship with a loved one with a disability. A wave of com...fort washed over me that I could not have anticipated or expected. Connecting with an attorney who truly understood the experience of disability brought tremendous relief and a profound sense of support. There are particulars to custody and support for a child with a disability. Ilana is knowledgeable and well aware of these issues. She was my guiding light throughout the miserable process of having to return to court again. Ilana responded to my questions promptly to keep me informed and guided me in pursuing a path leading to the best possible outcome for my daughter. I am deeply grateful. Ilana is a smart, knowledgeable, compassionate and responsive attorney. I highly recommend her for your family law needs.

Never regretted hiring Ms. Ilana Tanner.

I worked with Ilana to represent me during a child custody case for my teenage son with an ASD. Initially, I hired another firm that she so happen to work for and she was the initial attorney assigned to my case. She then left the firm and started her own practice. I was reluctant to follow her becau...se , at the time, I was confident with the attorney that was assigned to my case after her departure. Approximately a year later, I felt the issues I was having with my previous representation was hindering my case greatly and after reading the other clients reviews or my previous representation on this site of, I was convinced it was time to move on. Ilana was on the first of my list. I did reach out to other attorneys but I felt most confident with her. Since day one, she represented my case with a level of professionalism that you only get from someone who truly enjoys what they do, She responded to urged matters as time permitted and non-urgent patters in a reasonable time frame. Above all, I felt a sense of comfort knowing that I had a well educated and sharp minded person in my corner that is not worried about asking hard hitting relevant questions or making sharp, yet respectful, responses. I have no doubt that she will have a long and successful career in the legal field. Ilana, the words 'thank you' are still not enough for what you've done for my son and I. Our outcome would not have not been the same without you in our corner. Sitting next to you in trial while you spoke with the witness gave me a sense of encouragement that words can't describe. And like it or not, Ilana, you're on my son's and I holiday greeting card list. :) If you are dealing with a civil matter then reach out to Ilana. My custody case was literally one of the most important activities in my life. Prepping for the case took me years because I wanted to make sure bit of evidence I had was as close to perfect as possible. To be closer to my son and have the rights that I needed to protect him overshadowed practically every aspect of my life and to put that trust in her is the highest compliment I can offer. Craig

Child Support/Visitation

I really enjoyed working with Ilana, I was new to this entire process and she really made things as simple as possible. Cut and dry and what my clear options were. I emailed her several times a day because of questions I had about everything or things that confused me. I would get a response back the... same day or the next. Even after my case was taken care of, I had a question and she still got back to me quickly to clear some things up for me.

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!!!!
