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

Questionable help

Seemed nice at first but then before the case came up he started to ignore me and didn't follow through. The court didn't go very well as he forgot about what my case was about. I think he was too busy to work on my case but he took my money to represent me. I simply can't recommend this person t...o anyone.

A VOICE WHO STOOD UP AND FOUGHT..

A parents worst nightmare is to have their child taken away. Victims of domestic violence never had a voice, scared and unsure. I came to Anthony and from day one I was supported, but I felt supported. His knowledge of the law was impeccable, which gave him his stellar performance in court. I was... able to witness a really bad lawyer and a really good lawyer every time going into court. My case is now closed and I can rest easy that my baby won't be taken away from me as I now hold 99% custody my angel. A heavy burden has been removed in which now I can start the healing process. Thank you to Anthony and his firm for speaking up and standing with me to fight the battle of my life.

Highly Recommend

I am very grateful for the work Anthony provided in my custody case. Anthony made this difficult process a lot easier to understand and cope with. I know I would not have been able to see it through without his help. Anthony's diligent work helped me be successful. Thanks to him, we live with le...ss stress and are happier than ever, especially my son.

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.
