I’ve had the experience of working with Ilana Tanner for over a year, while she worked as the Ad Litem for my family members. She’s smart, diligent, conscientious and does what’s needed for her clients. It’s never easy in custody cases as one party ends up not getting the time or custody they desire.... Look for client reviews, not non clients affected by the case. Ask about Ms Tanner’s experience protecting children, ask other attorneys about her reputation, ask CASA and you’ll be extremely happy with what you hear and see with Ms Tanner. We were clients and happy to have found/worked with a brilliant attorney.

My child was adopted by my husband and Ilana handled the whole process with professionalism, charisma, charm, efficiency, and comedy. That's right. All of those things. She made us laugh. She charmed us. Yet, she was very professional and got the job done in record time with little to no hassle. I hi...ghly recommend her services to anyone who needs a good lawyer on their side. She made our happy little family whole.

Before I hired Ilana as my attorney I had custody of my child, and the other parent had 16 hours of visitation a week, after I hired Ilana I lost custody of my child. Ilana isn't as experience dealing with CPS as she says she is. She also is not experienced dealing with cases where abuse is involved.... She was reluctant to bring to court witness experts. During the time my child custody issue was still in court I was advised by her/ her staff to do somethings that hurt my case instead of help me. When she saw the case was getting more complicated she withdrew from my case. Before she left my case, the other attorney had asked her for dates to go to court but instead of going to court with me she withdrew and I had to go to court unrepresented (I couldn't get an attorney within a week). I then lost custody of my child. I had to hire another attorney now to get back custody of my child and it is costing me a fortune to undo the mistakes that she advised me to do. She contacted my new attorney to let him know that I still had a balance with her. I had a balance with her (after paying over 30K) and she charged my bank account without notifying me that she was going to do it. The contract she asks you to sign says that she can charge your credit card on file, that I am not sure how she gets that information, probably when you make the electronic payments on the link that she gives you (but that is just a guess). She may be a good attorney in simple cases, but if you need to proof that your kid or you are in danger she may not be the best attorney for your case. She is definitely not an attorney I would recommend to a friend.

My family hired Ilana to take care of a serious matter involving child custody. Initially, it was so confusing and scary. She took the time to explain in detail every step of the process and took the pressure off! We were MORE than happy with the final result and she continues to check in on our fami...ly. I know I may sound like a paid commercial, but I'm not!!! Just trust and believe me she is WELL worth any dollar amount. I will never hire any other attorney for my family law matters. She is and continues to be EVERYTHING we need! HIRE HER!!!
