Device pension issues

Anthony Lai represented me with an issue I had collecting my full pension. My ex wife filed an inappropriate joiner on my pension. The pension attorneys were assisting my ex wife in filing a QDRO . I already had a court judgment giving me my full pension. The pension attorneys continued to assist my ...ex wife until Mr. Lai mentioned that by assisting her they were in contempt of court. They chose to give me my full pension . Thanks to the knowledge Mr. Lai had in this matter it ended correctly. Thank you Mr. Lai. George Kallimanis

Efficient and Knowledgeable

Anthony was referred by a friend who worked with him years ago. His rate was higher than the first lawyer I spoke with but his office was very quick to schedule a phone call with Anthony. After speaking with him and hearing his general recommendations, I hired him. For the entire process, he was ...patient with my questions and kept me calm and sane for the most part. Divorce is NEVER easy but Anthony and his staff made sure I was prepared with all the paperwork I needed for every milestone of the case. They were submitting everything on time and accurately. There were no issues whatsoever with the paperwork. I hope to never hire him again (because I wouldn’t want to be divorced the second time around) but if you need someone, I highly recommend him. Thanks Anthony and staff!

Honest. Straight forward.

I had to divorce a delusional, idiotic and ridiculously frustrating person. Anthony was great with keeping me focused and on task when my anger would have surely gotten the best of me and my wallet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! I'm glad to hear that we were able to provide you with the support you needed during what must have been a very difficult time. I understand that divorce can be emotionally charged and overwhelming, but I'm thrilled to hear that our team was able to help you stay focused and achieve a positive outcome. Thank you for placing your trust in me and for allowing me to assist you throughout the divorce process. It was truly a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best moving forward. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

So grateful for Anthony!

I was confused by my previous lawyer making the pre nup process unnecessarily complicated and intimidating. Then dealing with the stress of divorce I cant tell you how thankful and grateful I am that Anthony held my hand to calmly explain how to best protect myself. I feel like a load has been lifted... from my shoulders talking to him and having a clear understanding of my rights and how to proceed. I cant recommend Anthony more for anyone wanting a clear calm voice of reason. He never took advantage of the process and even opted out of additional legal paperwork that Im sure he could have charged me a lot for. A very honest and kind person to work with in such a scary situation! I will definitely use Anthony if I need a lawyer again!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
