Common Law Marriage Claim, Custody Agreement

Tamara is exceptional and highly recommended. She has been practicing family law for 20+ years and her experience is demonstrable. She excels at understanding the case and the facts at issue, which in my case were complex and continually evolving. She is a fierce advocate, while at the same time prov...iding excellent, counsel and setting realistic expectations. I would recommend Tamara if you are looking for a highly experienced, professional, aggressive, yet rational lawyer to help with sensitive family-law matters.

Pre-Nup, Post-Nup, and Co-Habitation Agrements

Tamara did an amazing job of helping me define what I wanted with the Agreement, Help organize my thoughts, and concerns for my spouse and I; now and into the future. Our agreement was extremely complex for a number of reasons and she was able to codify it in a document that both parties were comfor...table with. It took us quite a while, before we were able to finalize our agreement. It started as a Co-habitation agreement, moved to a Pre-nup when we got engaged, and was not finalized until a year after our marriage, as a Post Nup. We were both thrilled to have it completed and the delay was our fault as this topic is emotional and difficult. Tamara was there every step of the way to help me through it. Cheers and Thank You for all of your work.

An amazing advocate

Tamara is an exceptional attorney. She has helped me on a personal level with my own divorce and has helped numerous other friends I've referred to her in connection with custody issues, divorces, pre-nuptial agreements, and collaborative dissolutions. She is knowledgeable, professional, efficient ...and compassionate. I recommend her without hesitation.

Compassionate and Strong Advocate

Tamara and I worked together on my divorce. The divorce was highly contentious as it I have three young children. Tamara's focus was exactly where it needed to be: how do I protect my children - both now and in the future. She has a deep level of integrity and compassion. At the same time, she... is meticulous in her legal understanding and stands strong in tough situation. I greatly appreciate her practical approach to making decisions including her ability to listen to my viewpoints and understand what I considered to be "non-negotiable." I would highly recommend Tamara (and have done so already) to anyone who is undergoing a divorce and wants someone who is both compassionate and strong.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

I recently went through my first (and hopefully ONLY) divorce. A family friend of mine told me about Tamara and I set up a meeting to meet with her. She was very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the divorce proceedings. She asked a lot of good questions and was very through when ge...tting all documents together in a timely manner. I felt very comfortable talking with her even on some occasions where I just needed some quick advice after an agreement with my ex. She became like a friend to me which is what I wanted. I wanted someone who had compassion and great intentions of helping me best she could. She ALWAYS put my needs and wants above everything, she always called or emailed to check in on me. I would highly recommend her. Her paralegal Tami was also wonderful. I never felt uncomfortable about calling or emailing or meeting with either of them. They are both great and professional. They both made my divorce go very smoothly and got the job all finished and done with quickly.
