Jaburg Wilk Law Firm Client Review

I would like to thank Jaburg Wilk Law Firm, specifically, David Uffens and Philomena Patino, for the incredible work they did handling my case. From the moment I retained them, there was an instant relief of stress lifted from my shoulders. They took the time to understand my situation, displayed gen...uine empathy, and helped me navigate one of the most stressful times in my life. We were able to come up with a separation agreement that addressed many of the significant issues in the beginning that I believe set me up for success later in the divorce. From the time I retained them to when I was legally divorced, it took about 10 months to resolve. Communication was great and I was kept up to date on everything through the entire process. I knew exactly where I was at from beginning to end and if I had any questions, they took the time to explain and give me reassurance. I would 100% recommend anyone who may find themselves in this unfortunate situation and would rate my experience a 10/10.

The best lawyers!

Mena was excellent. Any question or concern I had was quickly met with a speedy response. I never had to wait more than a day for an answer. She and the team always made sure I was current with information and eased any worry I had about my case. Not only did she provide wonderful service but we won ...my case and more.

A top-shelf lawyer.

I've litigated various kinds of matters for 25 years, but I wasn't about to even try and handle my own family law matter, especially one that was as complex and difficult as ours (moving children out of state). That said, I know a good lawyer when I see one. Not only was Philomena and her team incr...edibly responsive, but she was also thorough, easy to work with, prepared and -- most important -- had the kind of mature judgment that was needed to carefully thread the needle in our case to get the desired result.

Highly Recommend Philomena!

When I needed legal help the most, I contacted Best Law Firm. I was a mess and had absolutely zero idea of how what needed to be done worked. My initial free consultation with Philomena & Ankita was such a relief! I know that sounds strange, why not "wonderful" or "great"? Well, it WAS actually both ...wonderful and great, but with how clear and helpful the entire proceedings (truncated, of course) would be if I hired Best Law Firm was explained, I left that meeting with actual hope for my future. Philomena was working with me for a while, sending emails and keeping me up to date with things. Honestly, between both women, I was always confident about what was going on and what was going to happen next. And sure, there were things I was nervous about, such as the actual court date and whether or not everything proposed would be accepted, but I was never nervous about my lawyers. Despite my difficulty to comprehend even simple things (either written or spoken, I do have a disability), I always had anything I was having difficulty with reframed until I could understand, and I never once felt embarrassed because I was treated with the upmost respect and understanding. Let's face it, custody issues are messy and emotional, but in the end, I got everything my children need and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Philomena @ Best Law Firm; she really helped save my kids (emotionally & physically), truly.

Responsive & Thorough

Mena was a part of the legal team from Best Law that worked on my case. I found Mena to be very thorough and she had a great eye for the details within the documents that were drafted and the many communications that were processed between parties during the proceedings.
