Thanks Mr. Palmer
It’s been 3 years since my family had the pleasure of working with Mr. Palmer. We couldn’t be more thankful for his willingness to take on our case. His attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and ability to guide us threw a scary unfamiliar world was handled with such confidence and compassion. Watching Uri represent us in the courtroom was powerful and flawless. In the end he always took the time to explain everything that had transpired. Today I wanted to take the time to reflect and from the bottom of my heart thank Uri. My nephew and niece were born into an unfortunate situation but with the help of Mr. Palmer we changed the outcome and they will remain with family forever who love them to pieces. That family is us and those beautiful kids are now our 3 year old son and 2 year old daughter being raised along side our 5 year old son. People tell me all the time how lucky the kids are to have us, but really I’m the lucky one who gets to wake up to three healthy, happy kids who call me mom. We trusted Uri with the outcome of our future, best decision of our lives and we are forever grateful. Thank you. Kindly, Whitney

Great attorney
Uri Palmer is an amazing person and a great lawyer! I had an IAH filed against me. The accusations against me were untrue! Uri did a great job of pointing out inconsistencies which lead to it being dismissed.

We were placement on a DCS case and needed some advice and counsel and reached out to Uri and he was fantastic. He was not motivated by money but on truly helping us and addressing our needs. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Thank you Uri!
Uri is an amazing attorney. I am going through a very emotionally stressful guardianship with my granddaughter and Uri was kind enough to meet with me much quicker than I had hoped for. His knowledge and expertise with such matters is truly amazing. I left his office feeling much better about my circumstances and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I am hopeful that no further action will need to be take, however, if it becomes necessary I feel very fortunate to have Uri in my corner and extremely optimistic about the outcome.

You absolutely NEED Uri Palmer!
Uri Palmer was not my actual hired lawyer, but he stepped in for my lawyer at the Randle and Palmer law firm as my lawyer was quarantined for two weeks to due covid, which they take very seriously. Uri was all caught up in my case, taking the time to go over everything and help me even though I was his case. This whole law firm treats you as family, which was needed for me as my case is heavily involved in me being a victim of domestic violence. Due to this they took the time to specifically study the laws around domestic violence and helped me put everything together. These are the guys to go to when you're doing anything involving the court and your family! I already have a friend who I recommended and has fallen in love with their values, integrity and honesty and will be going to them when it's time for his court case.

Best lawyer you’ll find.
It took over 3 years and multiple lawyers to come across Mr. Palmer but as soon as he was on my side within months my kids were home. It’s now been over 4 years and my kids and I are happier than ever. I would highly recommend him to any and everyone due to his dedication, hard work and overall how much he cares for his clients. If I ever had any issues again, he’d be the first person I call!

Thanks to Uri and his firm
The services provided by Randle, Palmer, & Bernays is first class. They treat you like family and that is exactly what we needed for what they specialize in - family law. They are strategic thinkers and have good knowledge of the local courts to help you in your time of need. We found that they worked as a team when needed where Mrs Bernays was able to fill in for our primary attorney Mr Palmer. Mr Palmer was professional and cared about our interests, putting every ounce of energy in our case.

Outstanding compassionate professional with
Uri heard about our family situation and provided legal guidance to ensure the welfare and protection of our nieces. These matters are sensitive and highly emotional and he provided legal guidance in a compassionate manner for all involved. We cannot thank him enough. We recommend him highly to anyone who's facing a family dilemma.

Parental Severance Case
I am not quite sure where to begin. Uri Palmer has been a Godsend and we will be forever grateful to him for all he has done for us. We were in what became a 5-year long custody battle/severance case. Before we met Uri we were using a court-appointed attorney. As the case carried on, we found ourselves in a situation where the court system was ready to hand over a young child to mother who was a known drug user and who had abandoned him at birth. We were close to the point of losing our case when we sought out to find another attorney who could help us. That is when we were put in touch with Uri. Uri’s knowledge and ability as an attorney cannot be measured. If you find yourself in such a situation where you need of a family law attorney, Uri is the one you want in your corner! I would not want to walk into a courtroom with anyone else!

Thank You Uri!
I had the pleasure of meeting Uri when he noticed me having a fairly difficult time while trying to file some papers at court. He offered my fiancé and I five minutes of free legal advice, and of course we said yes immediately. After speaking with him for 5 minutes we knew almost instantly that we had to hire him as our lawyer. Not only was Uri extremely helpful with every question that we threw at him but he was (and continues to be) so patient with us. He was always honest with us and explained everything I didn’t understand in great detail. This past year was probably the most difficult year I’ve ever had in my life, dealing with so much uncertainty and stress about my child’s life and education. I will forever be grateful to Uri for being so amazing at his job and overall being a great human. Thank you Uri!

During a time of crisis
We were in the unfortunately position of needing to get legal assistance in obtaining custody of our grandchild. While the process was emotionally draining, Uri did a wonderful job of making sure that our grandchild's well being was the priority. He was available when things came up, which they always do. He has expertise in this sort of situation, which was invaluable.

Amazing Attorney!!!!
A year-and-a-half ago, I switch in the middle of a custody battle with my ex-husband who had been found to be abusing the kids. 2 weeks before a review hearing, the attorney I'd been working with withdrew suddenly. Uri came through in the clutch and was amazing! He truly prioritized my daughter's safety and helped me through every step of the process. Today was our last hearing. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Uri for everything he did for my family. We are in such a better place! I have recommended him to several friends who he has also successfully helped through difficult legal issues.

Guardianship Case
I had a very complicated case and Uri did a great job informing us of the process, and handling. I can’t thank Uri enough for helping us with our case.

Knowledgeable. Compassionate. Present.
My wife was in the middle of a long and exhaustive custody battle with her ex-husband when she hired Uri in 2018. The ex should have lost parental rights to their son a long time ago due to his persistent alcoholism and child abandonment, but somehow he always finagled sympathetic rulings in Superior Court. Uri stepped in and swiftly put a halt to the ex's antics. And while continuing to handle my wife's custody battle, Uri represented both of us in our Juvenile Court petition to terminate her ex-husband's parental rights. He handled all matters with great care and attention, and he brought both cases to resolution within a year. Honestly, we lucked out--my wife and I could not have found better representation. Anywhere. Additional Note - I adopted my wife's son last week. Uri was not directly involved with those legal proceedings--that fell in the capable hands of his law partner, Kayla--but he came to the adoption hearing because he cared about this case and all we had endured. That is a testament to his character. And finally...through it all, Uri's priority was ALWAYS the safety and well being of our son! For that, we're eternally grateful.

Excellent
Hired Uri to assist with a dependency petition. He was fantastic in listening to my situation and guiding me through the entire process. He was always professional and courteous. Having never been in court Uri helped make the process less stressful. I have already recommended him to others in a similar situation. If you need a family attorney, I highly recommend him.
