If your looking for strength and grace in an attorney…

Highly recommend. If you’re looking for an attorney that is going to advocate for you to the fullest, while also treating you with respect, compassion and fighting for what you need…. I highly recommend Illana. Absolutely fearless in the courtroom while carrying grace and strength. Super easy to work... with, prompt in communication and gave my case the attention and dedication it needed. Highly recommend for divorce and custody.

Caution

I would like to share my experience with Ilana Tanner. On the one hand, Ilana is genuinely compassionate and understanding, traits that are invaluable in a lawyer. She certainly shows a commitment to her clients, and I appreciated her empathy during some challenging times. However, I must caution ...potential clients about a few issues I encountered. While her services are priced at a premium, I faced several discrepancies in her billing. There were numerous instances of unclear and unnecessary communication that resulted in over $1,200 in charges, which Ilana herself acknowledged should not have occurred. Despite her apology, the billing remained unchanged, and it took over a month for her to respond to my inquiries regarding these discrepancies. Additionally, I found that the communication from her paralegal was often unclear and lacked kindness. The effectiveness of a lawyer can be heavily influenced by their support staff, and in this case, it posed challenges in our interactions. Lastly, when I concluded my engagement with her services, I was concerned by the impression left with the opposing counsel. They seemed to believe I had no evidence and mischaracterized my intentions in the case, which centered around breaches in our custodial agreement and the well-being of our child. I don't understand how this misunderstanding could have occurred given the conversations Ilana had with them. In summary, while Ilana Tanner has admirable qualities and a compassionate demeanor, I believe potential clients should carefully consider the financial aspects and communication efficiency of her practice before making a decision.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If you need a family law firm, this is your place! I seriously couldn't recommend more. I can’t thank you both enough. Seriously. With the last-minute jump in and a major hearing just around the corner, I never would have had a chance of getting out of this mess without you by my side. Nisreen and Il...ana at the Law Firm of Ilana Tanner went above and beyond, stepping into an incredibly complex case with very little time to prepare. From the very beginning, you made me feel supported, heard, and understood, and that means more than I can express. I’m feeling so many emotions right now, but above all, relief and gratitude. Your transparency, guidance, and unwavering support helped me navigate some of the most stressful moments of my life. Ilana and Nisreen, when I was overwhelmed, you were there to offer calm and practical advice. And when I wasn’t being as reasonable as I should have been, you kept me grounded with your wisdom and compassion. Most of all, I’m deeply grateful for the care you both showed in considering what was best for my daughter and our family’s future. You not only secured the best outcome for her at this time, but you did so without pushing anything that wasn’t reasonable or unnecessary. You also set up the right steps and a solid plan for the future. Knowing that my family’s interests were truly heard and respected gives me such peace of mind. Thank you again—truly. I could not recommend you both more. Your support changed everything, and I will forever be grateful for all you both did.

Honest and Attentive!

In the toughest of times, when there are stress and emotions, Ilana and her team made my divorce much more bearable. They were kind, understanding, attentive and really listened to what I needed from the situation. The support for my concerns were immeasurable, not to mention at a price I could aff...ord! Thank you for helping me through this tough time, would recommend without a doubt, to anyone looking for a smooth and painless understanding of the process. 10/10

Great Attorney and Child Advocate

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.
