Horrible Decision

Complete disaster! they told me I had a strong case and I did with a lot of documentation. They refused to fight for me, ghosted me and set me up for a huge loss, worked more with opposing team than for me. Devastated by this firm's incompetence.

Very grateful to have Margot Alicks on my TEAM !!!

Margot was referred to me by a close friend and during my initial consultation, I knew that I needed her to represent me! Not knowing anything at all about what the process of I was getting ready to sign up for, Margot and her TEAM did a wonderful job explaining every step. Anything that I was able... to do in order to keep my cost down - they allowed that. They did a wonderful job on communicating all that was happening with my case. I truly felt like I was part of the family and I was given the freedom to make my own decision with the legal advice that was given. After seeing how the opposing attorney handled this case, I am so grateful to have been on TEAM Margot. Many thanks to Margot Alicks and her TEAM !!!!!!!!

Excellent Representation!

"My experience working with Margot Alicks and BAM Family Law was nothing short of exceptional! I was referred to this practice by an acquaintance who raved about them. My case was seeking, as an alienated parent, a fair custody arrangement with an incredibly challenging co-parent. I am so thankful fo...r the referral as it was likely the saving grace to the entire case. I ended up in the BAM office after working with and hitting a wall with another lawyer first. I found myself 5 months and nearly $22,000 into litigation and it seemed as though we were headed for total disaster. The first attorney was argumentative, fairly out of touch, overly expensive, and presented a very bleak outcome as if I didn't have a shot at a victory. Suffice it to say, I needed and deserved a better option, the stakes were just too high. I met with Margot as well as one other lawyer who came highly recommended. The choice to hire Margot was crystal clear. Margot works seamlessly with another fantastic lawyer, Heather Broxterman, and a great paralegal. The synergy of this team was very impressive. It was relieving to meet with a team that was committed, sharp, and yet light hearted and very optimistic. Did I mention optimistic? What a breath of fresh air in the midst of an incredibly stressful time. My case was solid and it was obvious that the missing link was having the right representation. The team took over, was very efficient, communicative, fair with billing, and an absolute pleasure to work with. No settlement could be reached with the other side, trial was messy, and there was even a ridiculous appeal after the initial ruling. In total the litigation went on for the better part of a year. I liken this experience to trudging through mud. Despite the challenges our outcome was excellent! I basically got exactly what I had petitioned the court for on all levels. I can't imagine a life without my daughter or for a sweet child to be fatherless for no good reason. That was, however, a possible outcome and I am eternally grateful that I found Margot and her fantastic team! A million Thanks!"

Gordon review for Margot

Margot is a tremendous lawyer. She brings knowledge and professionalism to the case. We felt that we were in good hands and that she really cared about us. We were impressed that Margot not only helped us through a difficult time but made us feel confident and hopeful that we would not have to fear ...the false allegations brought on by the other party. We were in good hands and knew that the wisdom and knowledge of approaching the case was essential in finding justice and removing any fear of lies against us. We were secure and safe to trust in Margot and her team. We are confident in saying that the peace we received was invaluable. We are believers in seeking wise counsel and know without it we would still be battling a stressful case. The importance of knowledge and wisdom and seeking a just answer came from a great lawyer. Margot and Kyle were are answer to prayer.
