Excellent Service

I hired Ron to resolve insurance co-pays for my last year of Child Support. The original Court Order stated my ex would provide my daughter's insurance and I was responsible for 75% of the co-pays or out of pocket expenses. In 2014 my ex could no longer afford health insurance for my daughter. I t...ook over paying my daughter's health care insurance. My ex waited until 3 months before my daughter's 18th birthday to file documentation with DES for $11,000 of unpaid out of pocket expenses. The actual amount was $4,000. Ron was critical to resolving the issue and my final payment of $4,000. Prior to retaining Ron I had utilized the services of a well known family law firm that was supposed to be one of the best for "father's rights". Ron far exceeded what the original law firm accomplished with my case. Highly Recommended!!!!

Fantastic Result

I couldn't have been happier with the result of my case! Ron diligently worked through multiple layers of delays and complications (including the wrongful removal of a child to another country). Ron consistently kept me up-to-date and I felt very confident that he would achieve the desired outcome.... You will not regret having Ron represent you!

Champion of Children, Fathers and Mothers

Mr. Kossack should be recognized as the bar, in Family Law. He is knowledgeable, upfront and honest about issues that surround your case, he made me comfortable and is easy to talk with. When I obtained Mr. Kossask, he silenced the attacks from opposing counsel and the other party, he absolutel...y protects the interest of his clients in the Court room and adds calm back to every day life; he is a Champion. If you need an Attorney who is an expert in Family Law, I do highly recommend that you make an appointment with Mr. Kossack. He did everything he promised and more. Thank you.

I couldn't of done it without Mr. Kosack

To start, my child custody case was a mess from my previous attorney and I am a very emotional person who stresses the smallest of things. Once consulting Mr. Kossack I knew I needed his help and hired him on the spot. Within minutes he got everything going and I felt better about my situation. His c...ost was generous considering he is in Tempe Arizona and my case was 4.5hours away in the mountains. Mr. Kossack was very reliable in keeping me informed about anything going on. He was also very emotionally supporting during the whole process. If I ever had any questions or concerns he was always quick to respond. During the actual hearing I was not as stressed out as I normally would of been and with his help he kept me on track. I feel he went above and beyond helping me get sole custody, sole decision making of my daughter, and child support. Mr. Kossack was very professional and accommodating to my situation. For any mother it is stressful and scary to lose your child to someone you don't trust and I knew Mr. Kossack was the perfect person to help me in that situation. I highly recommend Mr. Kossack for anyone who needs help in family cases and needs an attorney who will care and support you the whole way!

Mr. Kossack is money well spent

I had a difficult situation with a child support enforcement case that was transferred from New York. From the very first meeting, Mr. Kossack showed compassion for my situation and didn't judge or chastise me but rather took the time to understand and develop a defense that would keep me out of jail... and give me a favorable outcome. Prior to court, he and his team kept me informed and up to date on what was being done behind the scenes. On the day of court, he reassured me that everything would work out and not only did he get the resolution I was hoping for but he achieved an even better outcome than expected. His knowledge and experience is what kept me out of jail and got me the best possible outcome. His presence not only made me feel better but also made the opposing counsel visibly tremble. If you need a family law attorney, I highly recommended Mr. Kossack. He will understand and do everything necessary to ensure you are satisfied and receive the best resolution.
