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 anyon...e 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 ourselv...es 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!

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 alwa...ys do. He has expertise in this sort of situation, which was invaluable.

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.
