Bless her and her team for saving me

I was afraid I was going to lose everything including my kids until I found Oksana. My ex husband wanted to get a mediator for our divorce and it was obvious that I needed a lawyer in my corner. He basically threatened to leave me homeless and to take my kids, house, vehicle from me because everythin...g was in his name. Out of fear I almost gave into his demands. I reached out to my dad and one of his friends recommended Oksana. With one phone call speaking to her assistant Dan, I was reassured that Oksana was the best person who could help with my divorce. After the consultation, I knew that I needed to do everything I could to be able to hire her. Oksana was truthful, she basically told me that I needed a back bone and to fight for the things I want and don’t want to lose. She helped put the paperwork together and find a good middle ground to what was fair. Every-time I would low ball it against my ex, she would give me clarity as to why we were asking or requesting of certain things. She is so knowledgeable and always surprised me with all the little specifics when it came to information or answering questions. Until my ex was able to get served with the documents I was so stressed out, in tears and on edge for my own safety during every waking moment from work to home. Getting the process started was the beginning to everything. She helped me gain my freedom and value back. I want to thank Oksana, her assistant Dan and the rest of the crew that helped with my case. I don’t know where I would be or my kids, if I didn’t hire her.

You'll never find a better more compassionate lawyer anywhere - and her team is just as amazing! .

I know there is not enough room on this review to even begin to tell you how amazing Oksana is. I've been going through a very high conflict divorce/ custody battle that included domestic violence, parental alienation and custodial interference. My 1st lawyer that I hired had gotten sick and referre...d me to Oksana - that referral was the biggest blessing of my life. Oksana invest herself in her cases and you feel like you're her only client... sometimes I even forgot that I wasn't. She doesn't just work 9-5 she answers questions and helps basically 24/7 and she usually responds within minutes. Just recently my daughter was kept against court order for almost 50 days and it was the darkest time of my life - she fought hard for me and my kiddos and was able to do more than other lawyer was willing to do. She even gave me support during that time to help me calm my fears! She's never met my kiddos and she can tell you details about them that other's can't - she actually cares about the families she represents and you're not just another $$$ on her paycheck. I never have to remind her about details in my case - she knows it inside and out. When she walks into a court room I don't think other lawyer realize just who they're coming up against - she comes in and doesn't take anything from anyone. Every single one of my court hearings she has gotten almost exactly what we ask for if not more. She knows how to prepare a case to let the truth come out before the judge. She's respectful to even the other party in the case which says a lot about her. There isn't another lawyer that I would ever trust the way I do Oksana - I never fear that she'll let me hanging or not follow through on what she says she's going to do. The very best part of it is my ex absolutely hates her - which means she's doing the job she was hired for and not because she's rude to him or anything like that. it's simply because she can show easily that he's not telling the truth and playing games with the court. She calls him out not only during preparation for the case and the back and forth communication between parties but especially when she's cross examining him on the stand. Today is mother's day and if you would have asked me just 2 weeks ago - I would have told you that I wasn't going to have both my kids on Mother's Day this year because my daughter had not been returned home after parenting time with her dad in March. Today was the greatest Mother's Day I've ever had all thanks to Oksana my daughter was home with us. It was the greatest feeling of all to hear my daughter tell me Happy Mother's Day - I love you mom! And I also have to mention Dan her paralegal - he is just as amazing as Oksana and I believe that's why they make such an incredible team! Dan is on top of everything. No matter my questions that I have or help I need - he's right there to help me. The very best thing about him is he was at every single one of our in person court hearings and he sat on my side of the court room so I had support as my ex always brought an audience with him. Dan always sat where I could see him from the stand and he brings this amazing calming feeling to the room. I don't know what it is - but it helped me every time. I couldn't have done this without him as well. I should have wrote this review so long ago as Oksana has been with me through so much - but every steps makes me realizes even more how incredible she is. But the fact that so many people end up losing their kids to parental alienation and she was able to help get my daughter back before our relationship was destroyed by the other party completely shows the level of attention, hard work and time she's puts into her cases. Hiring Oksana and her team was the very best thing I could do for my kids and in the best interest of protecting them! And if I ever need her again or family and friends ever need anyone she will be the person I will contact. Oksana is amazing and you won't go wrong hiring her.

Hard Hitting, Hard Working - Amazing Attorney!

Oksana is an amazing attorney and I highly recommend her services. If you want a high quality attorney who will tell you the truth, give you good advice, fight for you, and be by your side, she is the lawyer for you. Divorce and custody issues are hard. She gave me solid advice, worked hard to help m...e and my children, came up with excellent ideas and ultimately brought about a favorable conclusion to the dispute. Yes, this is your sign to give her a call.

Posted by D. Lucas | December 13, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

A Lawyer who understands Father's Rights

I've consulted directly with Oksana and hired her for preliminary information needed for my child support case. Oksana is the only lawyer that I've been comfortable with in my entire process. She understands my rights as a father and how family court views fathers. What I appreciate most about Oksana... is her responsiveness. It never mattered how many cases or trials she had in a day or if it was late at night, she always responded to any inquiry for me, and even if she didn't respond same day, it was the next day. I also appreciated her realistic approach to my case and the circumstances. She spoke to me in complete direct manner, but also both an understanding and respective manner in all of our interactions. What I've learned, as a father seeking custody, is that it is significantly important to get the right lawyer at the beginning of your case. Oksana is the best lawyer I've had when it comes to Father's Rights.

Strong advocate! She changed my life.

Many people wonder if it is worth the extra expense to hire an attorney or whether they could do it on their own. I pondered that for months thinking that my ex and I could just come to a swift and amicable agreement. I am a former military guy who listened to stories on how badly divorces went from... fellow servicemen once they got into court. I was terrified about what was about to ensue. She forced my hand when she hired an attorney without my knowledge and I received documents that might as well have been written in a different language. I hired Oksana immediately after hearing a great recommendation and also talking to her and explaining my situation. That decision changed my life in the best way possible. My marriage was ending with children and a good amount of assets involved. Juggling extra work due to manning shortages from Covid, coordinating time that I could be with my children, selling a house, and moving kept me pretty busy. There was no way I could take on the additional task of learning family law and preparing for court. Oksana took my case and hit the ground running. She is a genius at what she does. She is very organized and crunched the numbers and produced spreadsheets outlining various scenarios in preparation for mediation. She kept in constant contact with me and was very quick to answer any questions or concerns that I had. She put my mind at ease so I could focus on everything else. Going through a divorce is emotionally devastating. It’s difficult to think clearly most of the time. She kept me grounded and opened my eyes to reality. She found things to help my case that I would have never thought of. When the time came for mediation, she fought for me as if it were her own livelihood on the line. The outcome was better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Family lawyer | Aug 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Oksana has experience and knowledge greatly beyond her years of practice. I had a divorce case with Oksana that involved numerous complex assets. When a case involves complex assets there is always the risk of the other lawyer not understanding the assets which complicates and drags out the case. However, it was due to Oksana's quick understanding of the assets that led to a quick and friendly settlement for the parties. This saved both clients money, emotion, and time. Oksana has the technical skills, litigation skills, and settlement skills to handle complex family law cases. I would willingly refer people to Oksana for their family law matters. I highly endorse her."
