Iva S Hirsch

Iva was brought on to handle an adversarial lawsuit filed by a creditor related to my bankruptcy case. I actually met her for the first time just minutes before my trustee hearing. Just 4 months prior, I was in a coma for a week, and therefore, I had numerous physical & cognitive issues at the time... of my hearing. Iva had so much empathy for my condition & told me to relax, giving me encouragement & strength to proceed. My filing bankruptcy was a strategic move in a 6 year long legal battle on a separate matter. Once Iva was involved, thanks to her & her words of comfort & support, my stress level went down from a 10+ to a 1. she said to me, "Let me worry about all of this for you. you only worry about healing. I will handle everything & I will only call you when a monetary decision is needed. Leave it to me. I want your worrying about this gone right now." Her compassion & words were so comforting as she lifted the weight from my shoulders & placed it upon hers. She is a tough cookie & went up against a large law firm whose professional ethics are non-existant. After a long battle with this creditor, Iva was able to settle on my behalf. She kept me in the loop via email. I will use her again, if necessary. She is a strong professional woman.

As a dedicated family man challenged with a complex and often very traumatic divorce situation involving the ex's mental health and many other issues, I needed a lawyer who was an expert not only with family law, which Iva is 100%, but also a lawyer who took the time to understand my needs as a fathe...r who cared for his kids and my own wishes for the outcome. Iva worked with me not only on the initial divorce and decree, but remained my lawyer over a 10 year period helping me with various issues as the kids grew and the situation (life) changed. Iva always was always 100% available, worked fast. knew my options, told me when to back-down, when to fight, when to negotiate. She cared about the effects on my kids and even was careful not to hurt my ex but to represent me strongly, fairly and was always in my corner. I worked with Iva for 10 years and never had reason to want change attorneys. Iva came to know me, know my kids and know my situation so well and was such a great person and also a great attorney that I highly recommend her for any legal issues she can help you with.
